Shares of Serve Robotics Inc. (SERV) surged 7.65% on Wednesday, benefiting from a broader rally in technology and robotics stocks amid improved market sentiment and hopes of a more dovish Federal Reserve monetary policy.
The optimism stemmed from softer-than-expected producer inflation data, which eased concerns over the Fed's rate hike path and added to expectations of a potential economic rebound. This positive outlook fueled a wave of buying in sectors like drones, robotics, and quantum computing, with major players such as SES AI Corp, Richtech Robotics, Nauticus Robotics, Quantum Corp, and D-Wave Quantum Inc. witnessing significant gains.
Serve Robotics' rally was further supported by Northland analyst Michael Latimore raising the firm's price target on the stock to $23 from $16, while maintaining an Outperform rating. However, no specific company news or catalyst was directly attributed to SERV's surge, suggesting that the stock likely rode the coattails of the broader positive sentiment surrounding the robotics and technology sectors.
