If you ever owned recently acquired $CRAWA, you might also follow $PKOH (family ties). It’s is up 138% this year. Logistics and supply chain solutions is a great trend to follow. So many stocks have seen their valuation re-rate, in what’s typically been a low P/E industry https://t.co/6xaCGQf5nF

They told you $SERV would generate $60-$80m in revenue this year. It's easy to lie about the future. Now 2026 is here. Serve has its 2,000 robot fleet. Its numbers still suck. In Q2, Serve did $3.2m in revenue and generated over $64m in losses. And fleet utilization dropped quarter-over-quarter.

Interesting the $AMZN Supply Chain Services announcement has been glossed over by competitor share price action after the initial announcement hit. $UPS has been up virtually everyday for the past 2 weeks + even though they alongside the LTL carriers like $SAIA $XPO are probably the most exposed to competitive pressures or price pressures. Trucking is being supported by heavy admin crackdowns (that will help foster inflation later this year and into next year) and AI demand in areas like flatbed. But LTL and parcel demand is lagging and has relied heavily on price in recent years to compensate for higher costs and volumes....AMZN entrance should pressure both sides for these companies especially domestic players, much less for global routes
