SERV
Serve Robotics, Inc.
Driving Physical AI into Large Opportunities in Food Delivery and Healthcare
Level 4 autonomous delivery across 20 U.S. cities with DoorDash and Uber Eats targeting sub-$1 delivery costs versus $8–$10 for human drivers at scale. The January 2026 acquisition of Diligent Robotics opens a second large market: the Moxi hospital robot, active in 25+ U.S. hospitals, directly addresses the structural nursing shortage accelerating healthcare automation demand.
WYY
WidePoint Corporation
Technology Services Leader Expanding Commercial Revenues and Gross Margins
Transitioning from government contractor to full-service technology company with a managed services portfolio spanning telecom lifecycle management, cybersecurity, and identity management. Revenue mix shift toward higher-margin services drives our forecast of 400bps gross margin expansion over the next twelve months.
Near-term catalyst: WidePoint is the incumbent competing for the DHS CWMS 3.0 contract, a $3.1B ceiling vehicle expected to be awarded by end of Q3 2026.
IPWR
Ideal Power, Inc.
Power Semiconductor Innovator Targets Data Center and EV Markets
Patented B-TRAN® architecture replaces four conventional semiconductor components with one reducing conduction losses 50%+ versus IGBTs and cutting system costs by up to 4x versus SiC. Design wins span AI data centers, EV contactors, and solid-state circuit breakers, with Lazzen and Stellantis as early commercial partners. FY26 remains pre-revenue; initial shipments expected in 2027 as the company moves from proof-of-concept to commercial ramp.
KDK
Kodiak AI, Inc.
Begins Growing Driver-as-a-Service (DaaS); Timing of Revenue Ramp Up Unclear
Modular SensorPod hardware and map-independent Level 4 autonomy address markets peers cannot long-haul trucking, defense, and heavy industry in remote and unstructured environments. Commercial traction is building: 28 driverless trucks, 23,500 paid hours in Q1 FY26, and a 100-truck commitment from Atlas Energy underway. Revenue ramp timing remains the key variable; shares appear fairly valued at current levels pending clearer scale visibility.
