Uber owns an 11.5% stake in Lucid and plans to buy thousands of its electric vehicles.
60% confidenceStripe and Advent International have reportedly submitted a joint confidential proposal to buy PayPal for $60.50 a share, valuing PayPal at over $53 billion, a 28% premium to yesterday's closing price, backed by about $50 billion in committed bank financing.
60% confidenceLou Whiteman believes PayPal will reject the Stripe/Advent proposal and that shareholders would want a share price starting at $80.
60% confidencePayPal's value lies in its $6 billion of free cash flow, and it makes sense for Advent to take it private and use that cash flow to pay down acquisition debt.
60% confidenceRachel Warren, a long-term J&J shareholder, believes the stock's drop is short-term market noise given the company's diversified revenue engine and pipeline of new blockbuster drugs.
60% confidenceUnder the proposal terms, Stripe and Advent would take equal stakes to run PayPal as a 50/50 joint partnership, keeping the company intact rather than breaking it up.
60% confidenceUber is acting like a nervous incumbent rather than a disruptor in its regulatory approach to autonomous vehicles.
60% confidenceWaymo has cleared over 500,000 commercial trips every week, a figure from a few months prior that is likely higher now.
60% confidenceUber could use one-third of its bank cash to buy Lucid outright, suggesting Lucid's autonomous technology is not as close to viable as hyped.
