Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) Founded in Israel in 1999, Mobileye Global Inc. develops autonomous driving and driver-assistance technologies. Its solutions comprise advanced perception technologies, precise mapping, redundant sensor fusion, cost-effective imaging radars and a robust safety framework geared toward creating safer and economically viable autonomous driving solutions.
MBLY is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Auto-Tires-Trucks stock. MBLY has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 3.6% over the past four weeks.
Seven analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.21 to $0.50 per share. MBLY also boasts an average earnings surprise of +69.8%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, MBLY should be on investors' short list.

What this transaction means for investorsMobileye Global has underperformed the S&P 500 over the last 12 months, with shares falling more than 36%. In comparison, the S&P 500 has climbed nearly 20% during the same time. One of the issues currently weighing on the stock price is a leadership transition. On July 23, Mobileye Global shared a press release that its CEO, Amnon Shashua, was stepping down. Shashua co-founded the company in 1999, so he has been steering the ship and shaping its direction for more than 20 years. The announcement came on the heels of the company's 2026 second-quarter earnings, where revenue was mostly flat. The company raised its 2026 full-year revenue guidance by $20 million at the midpoint.
Losing a co-founder will bring its own set of challenges, and the stock may need time to find its footing. That said, the autonomous-vehicles market will continue to grow, and Mobileye could become a key component provider with its computer vision algorithms and real-time processing capabilities. As Yeboah-Amankwah increased his stake by purchasing nearly 12,000 shares, this may be a vote of confidence in what the future might hold for the company, even as the stock price may see some additional short-term volatility.

3 Robotics Stocks Under $10: Value, Momentum, or Bet?Mobileye Global NASDAQ: MBLY said inventory held by its Tier 1 customers stood at roughly five weeks, compared with a typical range of four to five weeks, as automakers maintain somewhat higher safety stock amid supply-chain constraints.
Speaking at Canaccord Genuity’s growth conference, Chief Communications Officer Dan Galves said the company shipped about 1 million units in the first quarter, contributing to the increase in safety stock but keeping inventory within normal levels. He said Mobileye has accounted in its second-half guidance for the possibility that Tier 1 suppliers reduce inventory late in the year before replenishing it in the first quarter.

Surround ADAS Wins Target Higher Selling Prices Forget Tesla: These 2 Earnings Reports Reveal Where the Auto Market Is HeadingGalves said Mobileye has secured three design wins for its Mobileye Surround ADAS system, all scheduled to launch in 2028. The system uses one EyeQ6 High chip to manage five or six cameras and several radars.
The company’s core advanced driver-assistance systems business has an average selling price of about $46, while Surround ADAS is expected to generate between 2.5 times and three times that level. Galves later characterized the product’s price at about $125 per unit. The three programs represent approximately 30% to 40% of each automaker’s volumes on average, though the conversion will occur over time as new vehicle models are introduced.
3 Stocks That Could Benefit as the Robotaxi Race Heats UpGalves said Surround ADAS carries a similar percentage margin to the core business, which he described as in the mid- to high-60% range. If 30% to 40% of Mobileye’s volume transitions to these systems over the next four to five years, he said average selling prices could reach $80 to $90.
He described Surround ADAS as a second-generation highway hands-free system, positioned as a potentially lower-cost and more integrated alternative to first-generation systems that may involve multiple suppliers for radar, driver monitoring, parking software and other functions. He also said emerging European safety regulations for 2029 would require expanded capabilities, including the ability to identify pedestrians alongside a vehicle, increasing the need for side-view cameras.
Mapping Data and Volkswagen Launch Plans Galves highlighted Mobileye’s Road Experience Management, or REM, mapping technology, which collects anonymized telemetry data from vehicles equipped with Mobileye chips and front-facing cameras. He said about 8 million cars consistently send data to the company across the U.S. and Europe, amounting to billions of miles of information.
The data includes details such as road curvature, lane markings, typical vehicle behavior around stop signs and common driving speeds. Galves said the information can improve driving comfort and support simulation by providing a closer representation of real-world road conditions.
Volkswagen Group is adopting Mobileye’s product portfolio, according to Galves. Mobileye SuperVision is set to launch in the first Porsche vehicle in the first quarter of 2027, with a more significant volume ramp expected in the second half of that year. The program is intended to reach roughly 300,000 to 350,000 vehicles annually by its third year, he said.
Mobileye Chauffeur, a Level 3 system designed to enable driver disengagement on highways under certain conditions, is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2028. Galves said the company and Volkswagen are working through 30,000 requirements for SuperVision to create a validated production system.
Mobileye Surround ADAS: about $125 per unit, according to Galves. Mobileye SuperVision: about $1,300 per unit. Mobileye Chauffeur: between $2,500 and $3,000 per unit. Mobileye Drive robotaxi system: approximately $40,000, under a different business model. Excluding the lower-volume robotaxi business, Galves said Mobileye expects its average selling price with Volkswagen to double by around 2030, based on approximately 7 million units. He said the company has already made substantial investments in the higher-value products and expects operating leverage to be strong as volumes increase.
Robotaxi Expansion and Mentee Synergies Mobileye expects vehicles using its Mobileye Drive autonomous system to operate without safety drivers in Florida by the end of the year. Volkswagen plans to deploy a robotaxi service through its MOIA division in five or six cities by the end of 2027, including Los Angeles and Orlando in the U.S. and four cities in Europe, Galves said.
Mobileye also plans to operate an end-to-end service in an unannounced city in the southeastern U.S. around the middle of next year. Galves said the company expects to generate demand itself in that initial market. He said the first several hundred vehicles could cost about $100,000 each and could be funded within Mobileye’s cash flow, with potential securitized financing and off-balance-sheet arrangements considered for broader scaling.
Galves also discussed Mentee, a humanoid robotics business that he said is developing systems with vertically integrated hardware, computing and software. He said Mentee aims to train robots through a small number of demonstrations rather than teleoperation, and that Mobileye sees potential synergies in perception, planning, data access and simulation technologies.

Key questionsHow does this purchase alter the insider's total equity position?
Frank D. Yeary expanded his total holdings by 16% through this acquisition. Prior to this filing, the director's ownership was composed entirely of 75,128 directly held shares, with the current purchase marking the first indirect position reported via this trust entity.What is the structural nature of this indirect holding?
The shares are held by the Sea Turtle Revocable Trust, of which the director serves as trustee. This structure allows for a diversified holding mechanism, though Yeary disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.What is the current market valuation context for this acquisition?
The purchase was executed at $7.98 per share, a level reached after the stock delivered a negative 43% return over the 12 months ending July 30, 2026. As of the Aug. 3, 2026 market close, the stock was priced at $8.08, and the director's total beneficial interest represents approximately one-tenth of one percent of the company.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-08-03)$8.08Market Capitalization$6.6 billionRevenue (TTM)$2.0 billionNet Income (TTM)-$4.1 billionCompany SnapshotMobileye Global Inc. develops and deploys advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies, with primary offerings including Driver Assist and Cloud-Enhanced Driver Assist that provide real-time detection of road users, geometry, semantics, and markings to enable timely safety alerts and emergency interventions.The company generates revenue through licensing its proprietary autonomous driving software platforms and ADAS technologies to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and fleet operators globally, leveraging its computer vision and artificial intelligence capabilities.Mobileye's primary customers include major automotive manufacturers and commercial fleet operators seeking to enhance vehicle safety and advance autonomous driving capabilities across their vehicle portfolios.Mobileye Global Inc. is a leading developer of autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance technologies with a market capitalization of $6.6 billion and trailing twelve-month revenue of $2.0 billion. The company operates at the intersection of automotive safety and autonomous vehicle innovation, delivering sophisticated software solutions that leverage computer vision and artificial intelligence to enable safer driving experiences. Despite current profitability challenges, Mobileye maintains a substantial installed base and strategic partnerships with major automotive manufacturers, positioning it as a key technology provider in the evolving autonomous vehicle ecosystem.
What this transaction means for investorsThere are many reasons an insider may sell shares in a company. One reason could be the need to raise cash to fund a large personal expense. Another reason could be for a reasonable portfolio diversification unrelated to their outlook for the company. A third reason could be what investors fear most: a bearish outlook on the company’s future.
However, there is only one reason an insider buys stock: they believe the share price is going up.
By this measure, Yeary’s purchase of Mobileye shares after a period of steep declines for shares is a positive sign. So, too, is the likelihood that shares will be at higher prices in 30 days: studies show that, more often than not (around 55%), insider purchases foretell a higher stock price 30 days later.
Yeary is a veteran investor, having been in mergers and acquisitions (along with a stint as an administrator at UCal Berkeley). He has been on the board of Mobileye since 2022, so presumably he knows the business well.
Mobileye has been under pressure in the U.S. market for EVs, which use more of its tech, and internal combustion engine cars have been mediocre. So too are trade war concerns that threaten to close off the China market to the business, along with the impact of tariffs on supplies. It has also been pressured by the global shortage of many types of computer chips, including which it uses for its sensor products.
The business believes it is entering a new phase, where driverless vehicles and increased drive-assist technologies will only increase demand for its automotive intelligence products. Revenue for the current fiscal year should tick up aboput 5% to $2 billion. Though a massive net loss of $4 billion is predicted. That’s because the company took a large, $3.6 billion goodwill impairment in the first quarter as it reevaluated a goodwill component put on its balance sheet in 2022 as part of its separation from Intel Corp. (INTC +0.20%). Put simply, the loss is just an accounting that won’t affect the actual cash position of the business. Free cash flow should be well over $300 million.
Overall, Yeary’s purchase is a positive signal that he believes Moobileye is headed in the right direction. It may be a small buy in terms of the company’s market cap, but $100,000 to an individual like Yeary is still a lot of money.

NEXT HEADLINE »AMEN Properties (AMEN) versus Its Competitors Critical Survey
Key Takeaways Mobileye's Q2 earnings beat estimates, helped by an Israeli R&D incentive grant that cut expenses.Systems shipped rose 3%, but lower EyeQ pricing and a less favorable mix pressured margins.Mobileye raised 2026 revenue guidance and sharply lifted adjusted operating income expectations. Mobileye Global Inc. (MBLY - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 19 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 6 cents by 216.7%. Adjusted earnings increased 50% year over year, aided by an Israeli R&D incentive grant that reduced research and development expenses.
Revenues of $508 million surpassed the consensus estimate of $484 million by 5% and edged up 0.4% year over year. Systems shipped rose 3% to 10 million, though lower EyeQ pricing limited revenue growth.
MBLY's Shipment Growth Meets Pricing PressureEyeQ and SuperVision revenues totaled $485 million compared with $481 million in the year-ago quarter. The number of systems shipped increased from 9.7 million, reflecting higher customer demand.
Average system price declined to $48.50 from $49.70. Mobileye attributed the pressure mainly to higher-than-expected export volumes from China-based automakers, which carry lower EyeQ average selling prices.
Mobileye's Margins Reflect Product MixGAAP gross profit declined 7% to $235 million, while gross margin contracted to 46% from 50%. The lower EyeQ average selling price and a larger share of SuperVision revenues weighed on profitability because SuperVision includes more hardware content.
Adjusted gross profit fell 4% to $333 million. Adjusted gross margin narrowed 303 basis points to 66%, showing that shipment growth did not fully offset the less favorable pricing and product mix.
MBLY Benefits From the New R&D LawAdjusted operating income climbed 46% to $155 million, lifting adjusted operating margin to 31% from 21%. The improvement primarily reflected the R&D incentive grant recognized in the quarter for the entire first half of 2026.
Mobileye recorded roughly $110 million on a GAAP basis and $93 million on a non-GAAP basis as an offset to second-quarter R&D expenses. The law applies from the beginning of 2026 and has no scheduled expiration date.
Mobileye Advances ADAS and Robotaxi ProgramsThe company added a high-volume Cloud-Enhanced ADAS design win with Stellantis. Gross profit per unit for the program is expected to be roughly in line with Surround ADAS and more than twice Mobileye's current average base ADAS profitability.
Robotaxi preparations with Volkswagen Group's MOIA remained on track. MOIA began public user testing in Hamburg with safety drivers, while Mobileye advanced vendor discussions and Moovit applications for its planned vertically integrated mobility service.
MBLY's GAAP Results Continue to ImproveThe GAAP operating loss narrowed to $30 million from $74 million, while operating margin improved to negative 6% from negative 15%. Net loss narrowed to $21 million from $67 million, and GAAP loss per share narrowed to 3 cents from 8 cents.
Mobileye Maintains Strong LiquidityOperating cash flow totaled $210 million in the first six months of 2026, while capital expenditures were $51 million. The company repurchased $24 million of shares through the end of the second quarter under its $250 million authorization.
As of June 27, 2026, Mobileye had $1.31 billion in cash and cash equivalents, down from $1.84 billion as of Dec. 27, 2025. Inventories declined to $310 million from $327 million at the end of 2025, while accounts receivable increased to $208 million from $131 million.
MBLY Raises Its 2026 OutlookMBLY now expects 2026 revenues of $1.97-$2.02 billion, up from the prior range of $1.94-$2.02 billion. The new midpoint is $20 million higher and implies year-over-year growth of 4-7%.
Adjusted operating income is projected at $365-$425 million, sharply above the previous estimated range of $185-$235 million. The revision mainly reflects an expected non-GAAP R&D grant benefit of $180-$200 million for the year.

Image Credits:Bridget Bennett / Bloomberg / Getty Images Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua plans to step down from the top leadership post after nearly three decades, just as the company pushes into robotaxis and humanoid robots.
Shashua will remain CEO until Mobileye hires a replacement, according to a regulatory filing Thursday.
Mobileye got its start making computer vision chips based on Shashua’s academic research at Hebrew University in Israel, and grew into a major supplier of the chips that power automotive safety and driver-assistance features. It had the largest IPO in Israel’s history, was acquired in 2017 by Intel for $15.3 billion, then spun back out as a publicly traded company in 2022, though Intel remains its largest shareholder.
Under Shashua, Mobileye also moved beyond selling chips to automakers and began building its own systems that handle autonomous driving, which it now supplies to Volkswagen and its MOIA subsidiary.
In January, the company acquired Shashua’s humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics for $900 million, which Shashua called part of “Mobileye 3.0,” the next phase of the business focused on robotics and automotive AI.
Mobileye also said in June it would expand beyond its supplier status to launch its own robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027.
Amnon Shashua is stepping down as CEO of Mobileye, after 27 years leading the autonomous driving pioneer. The news comes as the company released its second quarter earnings earlier today, beating analyst estimates with reported revenue of $508 million.
3 Stocks That Could Benefit as the Robotaxi Race Heats UpMobileye Global NASDAQ: MBLY reported a largely stable second quarter for revenue while profitability improved sharply, as executives pointed to stronger-than-market EyeQ chip volumes, a new Israeli research and development incentive and an expanded push into robotaxis as key themes for the company’s next phase.
On the company’s second-quarter 2026 earnings call, President and Chief Executive Officer Amnon Shashua said Mobileye’s core business “continues to perform very well in 2026,” providing what he called “a strong foundation” for upcoming advanced product launches. For the quarter ended June 27, 2026, EyeQ volume rose 3% year over year, outperforming the production volume of Mobileye’s top 10 customers by more than eight percentage points, Shashua said.
Get Mobileye Global alerts:
Netflix, Pulte, and Mobileye Are Buying Their Own Dips—Should You?Revenue was $508 million, which Chief Financial Officer Moran Shemesh said was relatively flat compared with the year-earlier quarter, Mobileye’s highest revenue quarter of 2025. Shemesh said volume totaled 10 million units, above the company’s expectations, driven by higher share within certain automakers, higher ADAS fitment rates in emerging markets and stronger China OEM export volume.
Profitability Boosted by Israeli R&D Incentive Mobileye’s adjusted operating income was $155 million in the second quarter, up 46% from a year earlier, while adjusted operating margin expanded to 31%, up about 10 percentage points from the second quarter of 2025. Shemesh said the increase was more than accounted for by the recognition of $93 million in contra R&D expense tied to a new R&D incentive enacted by the Israeli government during the quarter.
Mobileye's Manic Monday: A Buy Signal in Auto TechAbout half of that benefit related to the second quarter, while the other half reflected the retroactive first-quarter impact, Shemesh said. She added that the new regime became law during the second quarter but is effective from the start of 2026. Mobileye expects the benefit to continue in future years, though Shemesh noted it is subject to potential changes in law and could vary by quarter based on qualifying R&D expenditures, exchange rates and other factors.
Shashua said the first half of the year provides a more representative view of Mobileye’s underlying performance because the second quarter included the first-quarter R&D credit impact. First-half revenue rose 13% year over year, while production volume at the company’s core customers declined 3%, he said. First-half adjusted operating margin was 23%, up six percentage points from a year earlier. Mobileye generated $210 million of operating cash flow in the first half.
Guidance Raised for 2026 Mobileye increased its full-year revenue outlook to a midpoint of $1.995 billion and tightened the range, implying 4% to 7% revenue growth. Shemesh said the midpoint assumes slightly more than 39 million EyeQ units, nearly 1 million more than the company’s prior outlook. The upside is being partially offset by lower expectations in the aftermarket and Moovit businesses and the pushout of some advanced product samples into 2027.
The company also raised its adjusted operating income outlook to a midpoint of $395 million, up from $210 million previously. Mobileye is incorporating $180 million to $200 million of benefit from the R&D incentive in its full-year outlook. Shemesh said this positive impact, along with higher revenue, is being partly offset by increased spending to support early robotaxi expansion activities and a modest rise in operating expenses related primarily to foreign exchange.
For the third quarter, Shemesh said Mobileye expects 9.3 million to 9.5 million EyeQ units and revenue to decline about 5% to 6% year over year. Gross margin is expected to be slightly below second-quarter levels, while operating expenses excluding the R&D incentive are expected to rise slightly from the second quarter due to typical seasonality.
Robotaxi Strategy Expands Beyond Supplying Technology Shashua said Mobileye has decided to establish a “fully vertically integrated robotaxi offering” in which the company will control all aspects of the value chain. The initiative targets a 2027 launch in at least one U.S. city and will proceed in parallel with Mobileye’s existing self-driving system development.
Shashua said Mobileye has gained confidence from the progress of its work with Volkswagen Group company MOIA, including public rider testing with safety drivers in Hamburg, Germany, using vehicles equipped with Mobileye’s self-driving system. He said the company expects additional milestones through 2026 and 2027.
During the question-and-answer portion of the call, Shashua said several factors had changed since Mobileye previously considered whether to operate robotaxi fleets itself. He cited increased availability of level-four-ready base vehicles, more mature compute and sensor stacks, and greater clarity on demand and revenue per robotaxi. He said Mobileye’s calculations indicate revenue of about $125,000 per robotaxi per year, which he called conservative, and a vehicle cost below $100,000 with Mobileye’s sensors and compute.
Shashua said the strategy would give Mobileye flexibility, including operating vehicles in its own service, deploying them on third-party platforms or selling vehicles to robotaxi operators with recurring revenue as vehicles generate rider fares. The company plans to use Moovit, its mobility division, for fleet supply, demand optimization, trip planning and rider engagement. Shashua said Moovit will shift resources away from the B2B side of its business and reduce headcount to focus on the new strategy.
ADAS, China Exports and Advanced Programs Mobileye executives said the company continues to benefit from several secular drivers, including growth in India, exports by Chinese automakers into emerging markets and new customer wins. Shashua said Surround ADAS is expected to drive average selling price growth starting in 2028.
Shashua also discussed recent Stellantis awards, saying Mobileye won a high-volume 2027 program with Cloud-Enhanced ADAS that supports highway hands-free driving in a cost-efficient package. He said a lower-volume, later-timing, higher-risk program was awarded to other suppliers, an outcome he described as consistent with how automakers are allocating risk.
Nimrod Nehushtan, executive vice president of business development and strategy, said the Stellantis program is an upgrade of an existing production project and will introduce REM through Cloud-Enhanced ADAS. He said the implementation is relatively straightforward for the automaker and provides Mobileye with a tailwind in average selling price. Nehushtan said Stellantis intends to adopt the technology broadly across its vehicles beginning in 2027, gradually moving toward standard-fit integration of REM in its fleet.
On China, Nehushtan said Mobileye has benefited from export growth at Chinese automakers including Geely and Chery, with “the vast majority” of those export volumes using Mobileye’s EyeQ system. He said those automakers have also nominated Mobileye for future programs, which he described as a vote of confidence in Mobileye’s system for export markets.
CEO Succession and Long-Term Opportunities Shashua addressed his decision to step down as chief executive once a successor is appointed, saying Mobileye is entering a new phase as SuperVision, Chauffeur and Drive move toward commercialization. He said the board has assembled a search committee and is “casting a wide net” for the company’s next leader.
Following the appointment of a successor, Shashua said he aims to focus on technology strategy, innovation and long-term opportunities. He identified robotaxis and humanoid robotics as major long-term opportunities built on the same “physical AI foundation.”
In response to analyst questions, Shashua said he believes autonomous vehicle technology is “largely solved” from a scientific standpoint for the programs Mobileye has underway, while humanoid robotics remains an area where he wants to spend more time. He said Mobileye is still targeting 2028 for an initial humanoid robot deployment, with a business-to-consumer focus and about 500 units expected to be built that year.

Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.19 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.06 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +216.67%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12, delivering a surprise of +50%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Mobileye, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, posted revenues of $508 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.96%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $506 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Mobileye shares have lost about 15.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.6%.
What's Next for Mobileye?While Mobileye has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Mobileye was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.05 on $472.29 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.28 on $1.98 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Original Equipment is currently in the bottom 37% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Innoviz Technologies Ltd. (INVZ - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.06 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +33.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Innoviz Technologies Ltd.'s revenues are expected to be $16.33 million, up 67.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) reported $508 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 0.4%. EPS of $0.19 for the same period compares to $0.13 a year ago.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $484 million, representing a surprise of +4.96%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +216.67%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.06.
While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how Mobileye performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Number of systems shipped: 10 million versus 9.29 million estimated by five analysts on average.Average system price: $48.50 versus $49.08 estimated by four analysts on average.EyeQ and SuperVision revenue: $485 million compared to the $459.04 million average estimate based on four analysts.View all Key Company Metrics for Mobileye here>>>
Shares of Mobileye have returned +12.7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.4% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), indicating that it could outperform the broader market in the near term.

Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) closed the last trading session at $8.95, gaining 7.3% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $13.15 indicates a 46.9% upside potential.
The average comprises 25 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $8.00 to a high of $27.00, with a standard deviation of $5.01. While the lowest estimate indicates a decline of 10.6% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to a 201.7% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is highly sought after by investors, the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable. And investors making investment decisions solely based on this tool would arguably do themselves a disservice.
But, for MBLY, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Here's What You Should Know About Analysts' Price TargetsAccording to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
Why MBLY Could Witness a Solid UpsideAnalysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 1.5%, as one estimate has moved higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, MBLY currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which means it is in the top 5% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much MBLY could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.
JERUSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Select Stellantis vehicles will use Mobileye's REM Road Experience Management technology, expanding key ADAS features such as hands-free driving.

The companies said select models from Stellantis, the parent of Jeep and Chrysler, will integrate Mobileye's Road Experience Management technology from 2027, using crowdsourced road data to improve lane keeping and hands-free driving.
ADAS has become one of the auto industry's fastest-growing technologies as carmakers race to offer increasingly sophisticated safety and convenience features and generate higher-margin software revenue.
The technology is widely seen as a step toward fully autonomous driving, though regulators still require drivers to remain attentive when using hands-free systems.
The first applications are expected in select U.S. Stellantis models next year, with wider rollout subject to vehicle platform and configuration.
Stellantis will be the fifth of the world's 10 largest automakers to contribute data to Mobileye's REM platform, which covers more than 95% of public roads in the United States and Europe. More than 8 million vehicles logged 34 billion miles of data on the platform last year, Mobileye said.
Jerusalem-based Mobileye's system collects road data through front-facing cameras in EyeQ-equipped vehicles and combines it with cloud-based mapping intelligence. That allows vehicles to receive real-time updates on lane markings, road layouts and construction zones.

The market expects Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 23, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis maker of driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.05 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -61.5%.
Revenues are expected to be $484 million, down 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Mobileye?For Mobileye, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -6.25%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Mobileye will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Mobileye would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12, delivering a surprise of +50.00%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Mobileye doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Editor’s note: “The Physical AI Proof Points Are Suddenly Everywhere” was previously published in June 2026 with the title “AI Is Leaving the Cloud. Here’s Who Gets Paid When It Does.” It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.
For the first phase of the AI boom, intelligence lived mostly behind a screen.
You typed a prompt. A model answered. Maybe it wrote code, summarized a document, generated an image, or helped draft an email.
Useful? Absolutely.
Transformational? No doubt.
But it was still trapped behind glass.
Because intelligence that only lives in software can advise the physical world. It can’t act in it.
That is starting to change.
AI is moving into the devices that see, hear, move, navigate, and manipulate the world around us — robots, wearables, smart glasses, autonomous vehicles, factory systems, and edge devices.
In other words, AI is getting a body.
And once that happens, the investment opportunity changes completely.
The Proof Points Are Piling Up Consider what has happened since this thesis first started coming together:
Microsoft’s (MSFT) new AI laptops — powered by Snapdragon X2 — are now shipping. Nvidia (NVDA) and Hugging Face are bringing Isaac GR00T 1.7, Isaac Teleop, datasets, and robotics workflows into LeRobot, giving developers an open path into Physical AI. 1X just unveiled a new hand for its NEO humanoid robot that can move with far more human-like precision — gripping, adjusting, and manipulating objects in ways earlier robots struggled to do. Applied Materials (AMAT) and EssilorLuxottica announced a long-term partnership to develop intelligent optical systems for AR and AI-powered smart eyewear. Mobileye (MBLY) is moving from supplier to vertically integrated robotaxi operator, targeting a U.S. launch in 2027 and roughly 17,000 vehicles over five years. Apple’s (AAPL) camera-equipped AirPods timeline remains fluid, but the direction is clear: the next generation of wearables will sense the physical world, not just connect to your phone. Different companies. Different products. Same message.
Physical AI is moving from scattered experiments into a real hardware ecosystem.
What Physical AI Actually Means — and Why the Architecture Is Completely Different From Cloud AI What makes this cycle different from the AI wave we’ve been riding isn’t the ambition. It’s the architecture.
Cloud-based AI is about scale — throw compute at a model, let it learn, serve answers via API. Physical AI is about efficiency — get the answer right, in milliseconds, on a device with a 40-watt thermal budget, without a network connection.
It’s the AI inside your headphones that filters background noise before you even notice it…
The vision system on a warehouse robot that decides which box to pick next…
The autonomous vehicle perception stack that identifies a pedestrian at 60 miles per hour.
The requirements are completely different — and that difference runs all the way down the supply chain.
The Six Pillars of the Physical AI Supply Chain Think of Physical AI not as a single industry but as six distinct hardware categories that all need to scale simultaneously.
1. Edge AI Silicon This is the foundation. Every physical AI device needs a chip that can run inference locally — fast, cool, and cheap. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2, which just launched inside Microsoft’s new Surface lineup, is the clearest proof point that on-device AI silicon has crossed the viability threshold.
Arm‘s (ARM) architecture underpins virtually every mobile AI chip on the planet. Nvidia (NVDA) is pushing into embedded inference with its Jetson platform. AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC) are fighting for their share of the AI PC market. The edge silicon war is just beginning, and the winners here get paid on every device that ships.
Key names: QCOM, ARM, NVDA, AMD, INTC
2. Sensors & Machine Vision Image sensors, depth cameras, radar, lidar, microphones — these are the eyes and ears of every robot, wearable, and autonomous vehicle.
The AMAT-EssilorLuxottica partnership to develop intelligent optical systems for AR eyewear tells you everything: the optics industry is being recruited into the AI supply chain at the component level. Apple’s forthcoming AI AirPods with embedded cameras will drive a new demand cycle for miniaturized sensor modules.
Key names: Ambarella (AMBA), ON Semiconductor (ON), STMicroelectronics (STM), Sony (SONY), Cognex (CGNX)
3. Advanced Optics AR glasses and AI eyewear aren’t a consumer curiosity anymore — they’re a hardware category. And the bottleneck? Optics.
Waveguides, photonic displays, specialty glass, and laser projection systems are what separate a pair of glasses from a heads-up display. Corning (GLW) and Coherent (COHR) are two of the most underappreciated Physical AI plays in the market for precisely this reason. Applied Materials’ pivot into intelligent optics manufacturing signals how seriously the semiconductor equipment industry is taking this category.
Key names: AMAT, GLW, Lumentum (LITE), COHR
4. Robotics & Industrial Automation Genesis AI’s Eno robot isn’t interesting because it’s humanoid — it’s interesting because it reasons. That’s the leap from industrial automation 1.0 (programmed motion) to Physical AI 1.0 (adaptive intelligence).
Companies like Symbotic (SYM), Teradyne (TER), Rockwell Automation (ROK), and Honeywell (HON) are already deploying AI-driven automation in factories and warehouses at scale. Tesla‘s (TSLA) Optimus is the flashy version; the boring but lucrative version is already running in distribution centers across America.
Key names: SYM, TER, ROK, HON, TSLA
5. Memory, Storage & Power On-device AI needs more local memory than anyone planned for. That means Low Power Double Data Rate 6 (LPDDR6) RAM, expanded NAND storage, power management integrated circuits (PMICs) that can handle burst inference workloads, and analog semiconductors for signal processing.
Micron (MU) is already winning here with its LPCAMM modules for AI PCs. The storage plays — Seagate (STX), Western Digital (WDC), SanDisk (SNDK) — get a demand tailwind as every edge device needs local model storage.
Key names: MU, STX, WDC, SNDK, Monolithic Power (MPWR), Analog Devices (ADI), Texas Instruments (TXN).
6. Connectivity & Infrastructure Even edge AI needs the cloud. Local inference handles the latency-sensitive tasks; cloud AI handles the heavy lifting — model updates, data sync, fleet coordination for robotaxis, telemetry from billions of wearables.
That means the optical networking and connectivity layer is a direct beneficiary of Physical AI scaling. Robotaxis syncing to the cloud. AR glasses streaming map data. Industrial robots phoning home with diagnostic telemetry. Broadcom (AVGO), Marvell (MRVL), Arista (ANET), Ciena (CIEN), Credo (CRDO), and Corning are all toll roads on that data highway.
Key names: AVGO, MRVL, ANET, CRDO, CIEN, GLW
The Investor’s Guide: Own the Picks and Shovels for the Biggest Hardware Cycle Since the Smartphone Nobody made more money in the California Gold Rush by panning for gold. The real fortunes went to the people selling the equipment.
Physical AI follows the same logic — with one important difference.
In the Gold Rush, you could only sell one pan at a time. In Physical AI, every device that ships — every robot, wearable, AI PC, and autonomous vehicle — needs chips, sensors, optics, memory, power management, and connectivity. The suppliers don’t need to pick the winning application. They get paid on every unit, across every category, regardless of which company’s robot ends up in your warehouse or which AR glasses end up on your face.
The transition from cloud AI to Physical AI is the single biggest hardware cycle since the smartphone. And like the smartphone, the companies that win aren’t just the device makers — they’re the entire supply chain underneath them.
The hype was right. It just took the hardware a few years to catch up.
The names in this piece — the edge silicon suppliers, the sensor makers, the optics companies, the memory and connectivity plays — are the public-market expression of that thesis. But the smartest money isn’t just moving into the obvious trades.
Take Peter Thiel’s most recent 13F, for example: zero shares of Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, or Tesla. Not trimmed — liquidated entirely. His private fund, meanwhile, has been quietly building positions in energy infrastructure, nuclear power, chip fabrication, and natural resources — the physical backbone of everything described in this piece.
He can’t buy most of those positions publicly.
Seven of them, however, have a backdoor…
And we think they’re among the most compelling AI plays hiding in plain sight.
JERUSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mobileye Global Inc. (Nasdaq: MBLY) (“Mobileye”) today announced that it will release its financial results for the second quarter 2026 on Thursday, July 23rd, 2026, before market open. Mobileye will host a conference call at 8:00am ET (3:00pm IT) to review its results and provide a general business update. The call will be hosted by Professor Amnon Shashua, CEO, Moran Shemesh Rojansky, CFO, Nimrod Nehushtan, EVP – Business Development and Strategy, and Dan Galves, C.
Mobileye Global Inc. is transitioning from a traditional ADAS supplier to a potential infrastructure provider for robotaxis and humanoid robotics, with major inflection points expected in 2027. The current ~$8B valuation reflects only the legacy ADAS business; new initiatives like Mentee Robotics and robotaxi partnerships could shift revenue models toward recurring income. Despite high gross margins (45%–50%), MBLY remains in heavy R&D mode, with negative operating margins and limited growth catalysts until 2027.
Investors interested in stocks from the Automotive - Original Equipment sector have probably already heard of China Yuchai (CYD) and Mobileye Global (MBLY). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?
Investor attention may have turned elsewhere in recent weeks, but the autonomous vehicle race is still quietly churning behind the scenes. In just the last few days, for example, Finland took a significant step toward approving key self-driving software, and privately held Terawatt Infrastructure secured $300 million in debt financing to expand driverless vehicle infrastructure, among other developments.
Vehicle sensing technology is critical to the development of this industry, and there is still intense competition among firms developing light detection and ranging (lidar) tools, perception systems, and related components. Many of these companies are on the smaller side and will rely on the success of their R&D to continue growing, making them at least moderately risky ventures. However, the potential for a breakout moment is also strong, and the names below may be top contenders.

With a market capitalization of just over $2 billion, Hesai Group NASDAQ: HSAI is not the largest autonomous vehicle sensing tech firm. However, it may have the most technological momentum, thanks in large part to its May 2026 announcement of a key partnership and supply agreement with Mercedes-Benz. Through this agreement, Hesai's Thai manufacturing facility will support Mercedes' vehicle programs across Europe and China. Hesai has also recently made breakthroughs in 3D perception that give it a crucial advantage over camera-based systems.
In its latest earnings report, the Chinese company noted 30% year-over-year (YOY) revenue growth as lidar shipments topped 471,000 units, helping Hesai achieve a fourth straight quarter of GAAP profitability. The firm sees lidar shipments of 3 million to 3.5 million units this year, putting it on pace to roughly double last year's already-record figure.
One area of potential concern for investors is margin. Hesai's gross margin declined in the latest quarter, and if the company continues to focus on lower-margin products, it may not help it recover. Scaling shipments does not seem to be the issue here—Hesai clearly has products in demand—but the company will have to continue to focus on efficiency to remain competitive. Still, with six Buy ratings and a single Hold, plus upside potential of over 100%, analysts are quite optimistic about this firm.

Advanced drive-assistance system developer Mobileye Global Inc. NASDAQ: MBLY has recently made headlines not for its autonomous vehicle technology directly, but rather because it plans to launch a U.S. robotaxi service in 2027. The company is positioned well to expand in this direction, as it already has a robust tech stack and mobility tools. However, it faces intense competition that already has a foothold in the burgeoning industry.
Competitors like Waymo and Tesla Inc. NASDAQ: TSLA are significantly ahead of Mobileye when it comes to driverless taxi services. However, Mobileye does have a solid cash pile and growing top and bottom lines (revenue climbed 27% YOY and adjusted operating income grew by 61% over the same timeframe for the last reported quarter).
Mobileye's valuation remains fairly attractive based on a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.43, but the venture into robotaxi services is a big gamble. Analysts are split on their assessments of the company, with 10 Buys but 15 combined Holds and Sells.

The smallest company in this list by market cap, Aeva Technologies NASDAQ: AEVA, is a $1.3-billion firm developing and commercializing lidar tools. While the company is still seeking profitability, it has narrowed its net losses progressively over the past several years, and revenue has also trended higher. Q1 2026 revenue, for instance, was $2.9 million above Q1 2025 figures. The company has some breathing room thanks to $100 million in cash and short-term investments.
The company's strength may lie in its partnerships—it announced a major collaboration with NVIDIA Corp. NASDAQ: NVDA early in 2026, for instance. The firm's 4D lidar technology shows significant promise as well, though Aeva has so far had a difficult time translating that potential into revenue growth. If it is able to turn that around, it could see a breakout moment.
On the other hand, Aeva is likely the riskiest play on this list because of its dilution risk, its stretched valuation, and its continued struggles to achieve profitability. It's no surprise, then, that analysts are fairly divided on AEVA shares as well, with two calling it a Buy and another two assigning it either Hold or Sell ratings.

"Operating our own service allows us to accelerate adoption, gain direct operational experience, and showcase the full potential of autonomous mobility," Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua said.
The company said it would build this service by combining Mobileye Drive, its self-driving system, with the digital infrastructure of its Moovit subsidiary, which provides urban mobility data, trip-planning tools and a global passenger network.
While Mobileye will own and operate the ride-hailing service under a unified business division, it will collaborate with external vehicle platform makers and fleet integration partners rather than manufacturing its own vehicles.
Analysts said the move was unlikely to affect client relationships, but noted execution remains key. "The pressure point is whether Mobileye can keep data boundaries, customer economics and engineering focus clearly separated," said Parth Talsania, CEO of Equisights Research.
The company said the initiative does not change its supply commitments to customers, and that direct robotaxi operations would complement its existing business and run alongside it.

Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY) has announced plans to expand beyond supplying autonomous driving systems and enter direct operation of a robotaxi service, marking a strategic shift toward a vertically integrated mobility business.
The company said it intends to launch a fully driverless ride-hailing service in a major US city in 2027, initially deploying a fleet of roughly 100 vehicles.
The initiative will combine Mobileye’s self-driving technology stack, Mobileye Drive, with its Moovit mobility platform and related fleet-management, rider-facing applications, and teleoperation infrastructure. Mobileye said the program will cover the full ride-hailing value chain, including fleet operations, mission control, and trip planning services.
The company highlighted that the new robotaxi business will operate alongside its existing model of supplying autonomous driving systems to automakers and mobility providers. Mobileye said it continues to view its technology licensing and direct operations as complementary approaches, with both expected to develop in parallel.
Following the initial rollout, Mobileye plans to expand the fleet significantly, targeting approximately 17,000 vehicles over a five-year period, subject to operational validation and scaling.
“The robotaxi revolution has only just begun,” said Amnon Shashua, founder and CEO of Mobileye, adding that combining autonomous driving technology with operational control could support broader deployment and provide additional real-world experience for its platform.
"As interest in autonomous mobility accelerates, the industry has become increasingly dependent on a small number of technology providers and business models,” Shashua said.
“We believe there is an opportunity for a new approach—one built on deep autonomous-driving expertise, strong industry partnerships, and proven capabilities across the mobility ecosystem.
Mobileye said it will work with vehicle platform manufacturers, fleet operators, integration partners, and technology suppliers to build out the service. The company also highlighted the role of Moovit, which provides multimodal trip planning and mobility services across more than 3,500 cities, as part of its consumer-facing infrastructure.
Mobileye Drive, the company’s autonomous driving system, is currently being integrated into partner programs globally. The company said more than 230 million vehicles have been produced with its technology to date.
Mobileye said further details on the planned US launch market and operational timeline will be disclosed closer to deployment.
Self-driving technology supplier Mobileye Global said Tuesday it would launch its own robotaxi service, planning to deploy an initial 100-vehicle fleet into a major U.S. city in 2027.
The company said the first launch will be phased throughout next year, after which they'll aim to scale the fleet to roughly 17,000 vehicles over the next five years.
Shares of the Jerusalem-based company rose around 6% following the announcement.
"We believe there is an opportunity for a new approach — one built on deep autonomous-driving expertise, strong industry partnerships, and proven capabilities across the mobility ecosystem," said Mobileye's CEO Amnon Shashua in a statement.
The move will put Mobileye in direct competition with some of the customers that use its Mobileye Drive technology in their cars.
The company said the move doesn't change its commitment to supplying its customers.
In a release, Mobileye said it views the competition as a "complementary path to market," adding that it can "further demonstrate the capabilities of the Mobileye Drive platform at scale."

Mobileye has pitched itself as an autonomous vehicle technology supplier. Now it wants the operator label, too.
The Intel subsidiary and publicly traded company said Tuesday it plans to launch a robotaxi service in a U.S. city in 2027, marking an expansion beyond its supplier strategy. Mobileye didn’t name the U.S. city. However, the Israeli-based company said it will have an initial fleet of 100 autonomous vehicles, which will be phased in throughout 2027.
If successful, Mobileye said it plans to scale to about 17,000 robotaxis over the following five years.
“The robotaxi revolution has only just begun, and its potential for transforming how we travel around the world continues to increase,” Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua said in a statement, noting that the industry has become increasingly dependent on a small number of technology providers and business models.
Mobileye rose to prominence supplying automakers with millions of computer vision chips designed to support automotive safety features and advanced driver-assistance systems. The company later began developing chips and software that could handle autonomous driving and tested the tech in several cities. It now supplies its self-driving system to Volkswagen and its MOIA subsidiary.
But Mobileye apparently wants to own some of the robotaxi market, even if that puts it in direct competition with companies it supplies its self-driving system to.
These robotaxi aspirations aren’t entirely new. In a 2020 interview with TechCrunch, Shashua said he believed that the “Holy Grail” was passenger car autonomy — in which consumers could buy a car that could operate fully driverless. But to get there he needed to pursue robotaxis.
“The realization is that you can’t reach that Holy Grail if you don’t go through the robotaxi business,” Shashua said at the time.
Mobileye said it will create a new operating business for its robotaxi service, which will use its self-driving system. Mobileye plans to manage the fleet and will leverage Moovit, the transit and ride-hailing app it owns, for the consumer-facing piece.
Mobileye said this new business will complement its supplier business. The company didn’t name which vehicle will be used in its fleet, only noting that it will work with “AV-ready vehicle platform manufacturers.” However, the company’s press release announcing the partnership shows a photo illustration of what appears to be a modified Ora iQ, the electric crossover produced by the Chinese automaker Great Wall Motors.
“This initiative is not a replacement for our existing partnerships; it is an extension of them,” said Shashua. “We remain deeply committed to enabling automakers and mobility providers with Mobileye Drive. At the same time, operating our own service allows us to accelerate adoption, gain direct operational experience, and showcase the full potential of autonomous mobility.”

Mobileye Global Inc. is upgraded to a Strong Buy, driven by a new vertically integrated U.S. robotaxi launch planned for 2027. MBLY's robust autonomous tech stack and existing mobility tools position it to scale rapidly in a competitive market. Despite formidable competition from Waymo and Tesla, MBLY stock's valuation—8.64x 2029 earnings—remains attractive, with potential for upward EPS revisions.
Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.12 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.08 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.08 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +58.52%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of driver-assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies would post earnings of $0.06 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.06, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Mobileye, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, posted revenues of $558 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.36%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $438 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Mobileye shares have lost about 24.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%.
What's Next for Mobileye?While Mobileye has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Mobileye was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.06 on $473.33 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.25 on $1.94 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Original Equipment is currently in the bottom 27% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Garrett Motion (GTX - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 30.
This maker of vehicle turbocharging and electric-boosting gear is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.42 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +40%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Garrett Motion's revenues are expected to be $916.61 million, up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter ended March 2026, Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) reported revenue of $558 million, up 27.4% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.12, compared to $0.08 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of +7.36% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $519.73 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.08, the EPS surprise was +58.52%.
While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.
Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.
Here is how Mobileye performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:
Number of systems shipped: 10.8 million versus 10.04 million estimated by five analysts on average.Average system price: $49.30 versus the four-analyst average estimate of $49.04.EyeQ and SuperVision revenue: $535 million versus the four-analyst average estimate of $489.95 million.View all Key Company Metrics for Mobileye here>>>
Shares of Mobileye have returned +14% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +9.7% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), indicating that it could underperform the broader market in the near term.
Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY) shares added almost 10% following the company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings report, which came in ahead of analyst expectations for both revenue and profit and included an upgraded full-year outlook.
The autonomous driving technology company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.12, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.09.
Revenue for the quarter reached $558 million, up 27% year-over-year and ahead of expectations of approximately $519.5 million.
The company raised the midpoint of its full-year 2026 revenue guidance by 2%, citing stronger-than-expected demand and higher EyeQ chip shipments in the first quarter. Adjusted operating income guidance was also increased by 8% at the midpoint, reflecting improved operating leverage.
Mobileye CEO Amnon Shashua said the quarter reflected a “stronger than expected start to 2026,” pointing to continued demand for its advanced driver-assistance systems and progress on programs with automotive partners, including Volkswagen Group and Mahindra.
Shashua also highlighted ongoing development in robotaxi and next-generation autonomous driving technologies.
Alongside the earnings release, Mobileye announced an up to $250 million share repurchase program aimed at offsetting dilution from stock-based compensation and acquisition-related share issuance.

Key Takeaways Mobileye posted Q1 EPS of 12 cents, beating estimates as revenues rose 27% on strong EyeQ demand.MBLY shipments jumped to 10.8M units, driven by market share gains and customer inventory restocking.Mobileye raised 2026 revenue outlook and approved a $250M buyback after strong Q1 performance. Mobileye Global Inc. (MBLY - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of 12 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 8 cents. The company delivered an earnings surprise of 58.52%, with the bottom line rising 50% year over year, driven by higher EyeQ system-on-chip shipments.
The company posted revenues of $558 million, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $520 million by 7.36% and increased 27.4% year over year.
Operating cash flow was $75 million, reflecting the company’s ability to convert its ADAS scale into cash generation.
MBLY’s Volume Upside Driven by Mix and RestockingThe quarter was supported by strong and sustained demand for EyeQ, with this momentum continuing into the second quarter. Shipments increased due to higher market share and stronger ADAS shipment rates among key Western customers, along with a notable boost from solid export volumes by Chinese automakers.
Shipments were also supported by customers rebuilding their inventory. After reducing stock in late 2025, customers raised it from very low levels back to a normal range of about four to five weeks, which helped boost unit shipments during the period.
Progress Across Advanced ProgramsBeyond growth in its core ADAS business, Mobileye made progress on its advanced products. In robotaxis, Volkswagen and MOIA moved forward with the ID. The Buzz self-driving vehicle program includes early production work at Volkswagen’s Hanover plant and ongoing testing on public roads in several cities.
For SuperVision, the EyeQ6 High-based system was used in pre-production vehicles in the United States. It completed a long drive of over 2,000 km on an unplanned route, covering city, suburban, and highway roads, and even tough weather conditions. This confirms that the system functions well upon deployment in a new region.
MBLY’s Profitability Reflects Operating LeverageOn a GAAP basis, results were heavily affected by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.8 billion, which caused an operating loss of $3.9 billion and a net loss of $3.8 billion. Excluding that charge and other items, non-GAAP profitability showed operating leverage from stronger revenues.
Gross margin improved to 49% from 47% a year ago, aided by similar amortization levels on a higher revenue base, though partially offset by a different EyeQ product mix that lifted cost per unit. Adjusted gross margin was 66%, down from 69% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the same mix-related cost pressure. Adjusted operating income rose to $95 million from $59 million, lifting adjusted operating margin to 17% from 13% in the year-ago period.
Mobileye’s Product Metrics Show Expanding ScaleSupplemental metrics showed that the quarter’s growth was mainly driven by higher unit shipments. EyeQ and SuperVision revenues totaled $535 million in the first quarter, while systems shipped amounted to 10.8 million, resulting in an average system price of $49.3. Shipments were up from 8.5 million a year ago, showing that growth was mainly due to higher volumes, including some boost from customers restocking inventory.
The company is seeing good growth in India, with new deals from Mahindra for both SuperVision and Surround ADAS. As India remains a developing ADAS market, this win boosts growth prospects.
MBLY Raises 2026 Revenue Outlook & Adds a BuybackAfter a strong start to the year, the company raised its full-year 2026 outlook. It now expects revenues to be between $1,935 million and $2,015 million, up from the previous guidance of $1,900-$1,980 million. It also expects adjusted operating income to be in the band of $185-$235 million, up from the previous estimate of $170-$220 million.
The company has released its GAAP outlook, expecting an operating loss of $4,281 million to $4,331 million for 2026. This includes $346 million in amortization costs, $376 million in stock-based compensation, a large $3,788 million goodwill impairment from the first quarter, and $6 million in acquisition-related expenses.
It has also approved a share buyback program of up to $250 million. By the end of the first quarter, MBLY had $1.21 billion in cash, after spending $591 million (net of cash received) on the Mentee Robotics acquisition.
