This Overlooked AI Trade Has Been Quietly Outperforming Nvidia Over the Last 6 Months

While Nvidia remains a top AI stock, Rivian Automotive has quietly outperformed it over the last six months by heavily investing in AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology. The EV maker is positioning itself as a supplier to robotaxi operators, with a major $1.25 billion deal with Uber for 50,000 R2 SUVs. Despite current losses, Rivian's smaller market cap ($24B vs Nvidia's $4.8T) offers greater growth potential if autonomous driving becomes mainstream by 2031.

Should You Buy Uber Stock Before Aug. 5?

Uber is set to report Q2 earnings on Aug. 5 with expected revenue and adjusted EPS growth of 13% and 23%, respectively. Despite a 20% stock decline over the past 12 months, the company continues to show strong operational growth with 199 million monthly active users, 3.6 billion trips, and 50 million Uber One subscribers.

Does PayPal Have a Buyer?

Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have submitted a joint proposal to acquire PayPal for $60.50 per share, valuing the company at over $53 billion—a 28% premium. The deal would be structured as a 50/50 partnership to keep PayPal intact rather than break it up. While the offer highlights PayPal's fall from its $360 billion pandemic-era peak, analysts debate whether the price is sufficient and whether the partnership structure can work given inherent tensions between Stripe's growth ambitions and Advent's cash flow optimization goals.
