Uber and Lyft shares are trading higher in reaction to Tesla announcing that a rival offering, the Cybercab, will go into production in 2026.

Ride-hailing companies Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>) are rising<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket"> in premarket trading </a>on Friday.
The shares of Uber and its smaller peer Lyft were reacting to electric vehicle maker Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) announcing that a rival offering from its stable, the Cybercab, will go into production in 2026 or possibly even in 2027. If Tesla had been quick with a superior offering armed with its unsupervised self-driving technology, Uber and Lyft might have seen their market share erode.
Ahead of the event, Future Fund LLC&#8217;s Gary Black had warned Tesla investors not to hope for an immediate launch of the robotaxi with supervised full self-driving technology.
He said Tesla should subsidize rides on its rideshare app. and require all drivers to drive Tesla vehicles and, if possible, be highly rated on other rideshare apps.
The penetrating pricing strategy of offering rides at lower prices than competition including Uber and Lyft would increase awareness about the app and also lure users to it, Black said, adding that Tesla should use its cash reserves for it.
For the next two years at least, Uber and Lyft can have much of their market to themselves. They only have to contend with Alphabet, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo and General Motors Corp.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cruise in the near term.
In premarket trading, Uber rose 4.90% to $81.74, and Lyft gained 2.42% to $12.71, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data.</a>

Why Uber, Lyft Shares Are Speeding Up In Friday's Premarket

U.S. index futures point to a modestly lower opening on Friday as traders hope for better tidings on the wholesale prices front. Thursday&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41270761/september-inflation-hotter-than-expected-jobless-claims-spike-the-most-in-over-a-"> slightly hotter-than-expected consumer price inflation data</a> kept sentiment subdued throughout the session before the major averages closed modestly lower. Following the inflation data, Harris Financial Group Managing Partner Jamie Cox said, &#8220;Disinflation continues, but anyone who thought the Fed was going to lower rates by another .50 basis points in November is dead wrong.&#8221;
&#8220;When interest rates aren't high enough to lower growth, they aren't high enough to stifle inflation completely either. &nbsp;The Fed will lower rates, but at a measured pace from here,&#8221; he added.
Tesla, Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Robotaxi event failed to kickstart a rally in the stock. JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is set to kickstart big bank earnings this season and its earnings are seen as a barometer of how healthy the sector is.

Cues From Last Session:
With inflation readings coming slightly ahead of expectations across the board and jobless claims jumping to the highest in over a year due to Hurricane Helene, stocks opened Thursday&#8217;s session lower. The reports sent bond yields surging higher. 
The 30-stock Dow Jones Industrial Average languished in the red throughout the session, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index and the broader S&amp;P 500 Index remained below the flat for the bulk of the day. 
In the process, the Dow and the S&amp;P 500 Index pulled back from their record highs. 
All but three of the S&amp;P 500 sector classes ended in the red, with the holdouts being energy, IT and material stocks,

Insights From Analysts:
LPL Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist weighed in on the bull market, which is completing two years on Oct. 12. Since then, the S&amp;P 500 has gained 62% while registering 44 record highs, he noted. 
The strategist said low volatility has been a welcome personality trait of this bull market. The maximum drawdown for the S&amp;P 500 since its Oct. 12, 2022, closing low has only been 10.3%, running below the average maximum drawdown of all bull markets of -14.2%, he added.
Looking ahead, Turnquist said most bull markets remain bull markets into their third year of life. Since 1950, the duration of a bull market has averaged 61 months, excluding the current bull market, with the shortest lasting for 21 months running from March 2020 to January 2022, he said.
That said, the current 27.2% annualized return is running relatively high compared to other bull markets, Turnquist said. &#8220;History implies that if this bull market continues, investors should expect positive, but likely more muted annualized returns going forward,&#8221; he added.

Looking At Lyft's Recent Unusual Options Activity

As Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) gears up for its highly anticipated Robotaxi event on Oct. 10, the rideshare market is bracing for disruption. Tesla's event, expected to reveal a low-cost, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mobility">fully autonomous vehicle</a> (AV), has sparked concern among investors, particularly for companies like Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NYSE">LYFT</a>).
However, JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth remains confident in Uber&#8217;s future, noting that it remains &#8220;well positioned in [the] AV ecosystem.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Disruption: Rideshare Under Pressure?</h2>
Tesla's announcement has created a buzz, especially with expectations of a $25,000 robotaxi. This move threatens to challenge Uber and Lyft&#8217;s business models directly. The potential rollout of a robotaxi ride-hailing app further positions Tesla as a direct competitor. 
Since Tesla's robotaxi announcement in April, Uber's valuation multiples have compressed by around 4x turns, highlighting the pressure on the rideshare giant.
However, Anmuth remains cautious about how quickly Tesla's vision will materialize. He notes, "a robotaxi without LiDAR will be a hurdle w/regulators." Tesla's reliance on its vision-only FSD (Full Self-Driving) technology, and the lack of LiDAR, raises questions about regulatory approval. For Tesla, clearing these obstacles will be crucial for scaling its autonomous fleet, the analyst said.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Uber's Advantage: Strategic Partnerships</h3>
Despite Tesla's aggressive push, Uber continues to strengthen its position in the AV landscape through key partnerships. Anmuth reiterates his positive outlook for Uber, maintaining an Overweight rating with a price target of $95 by December 2025. He points out that Uber's collaborations with AV companies such as Waymo, Cruise, WeRide, and others position the company to play a central role in the AV ecosystem.
"Uber will play an important role in AV by driving demand and increasing utilization for AV tech providers, while also helping to build out the AV ecosystem through fleet operations," Anmuth said. Uber's partnerships cover mobility, delivery, and freight, and the company has strategically expanded its relationships, including a multi-year deal with Cruise to deploy AVs on its platform starting in 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Event: A Relief For Uber?</h2>
Anmuth said that while Tesla's ambition is clear, the development of a viable commercial product may take longer than expected, particularly due to regulatory challenges. "We expect the TSLA robotaxi day to be more of a clearing event for Uber and Lyft," he added.
Tesla's vision-only FSD approach could face delays, giving Uber time to further solidify its partnerships and AV strategy. Moreover, Tesla's plan to own and operate its fleet initially—rather than enabling private vehicle owners to contribute to the network—could provide a window of opportunity for Uber to grow its foothold in the AV market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Outlook: Uber's Resilience</h3>
Uber continues to project optimism. The company remains confident in its ability to achieve mid-to-high teens growth for gross bookings over the next three years. Uber management, in recent meetings, expressed confidence in their strategy, noting stable mobility trends, durability in delivery, and ongoing expansion of their ad business.
While Tesla's robotaxi might change the game, Anmuth believes Uber will continue to be a key player in the AV revolution.

Uber 'Well Positioned' Despite Tesla Robotaxi Threat, Analyst Says

The world of autonomous driving is rapidly approaching a key moment: Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is set to hold its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/robotaxi">Robotaxi event on Oct. 10</a>.
What Happened: The Austin, Texas-based car manufacturer is gearing up to make yet another bold move, despite divided public opinion on driverless technology. Nearly 63% of American adults would not ride in a driverless vehicle, according to a Pew Research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/03/17/americans-cautious-about-the-deployment-of-driverless-cars/">survey</a>.
And who can blame them?
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39428443/gms-cruise-fined-112-500-by-california-over-self-driving-car-crash-report">High-profile crashes</a> involving General Motors Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cruise, along with lingering doubts about safety, leave many hesitant.
Tesla's record with autonomous driving features has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41104861/elon-musk-tesla-win-dismissal-of-full-self-driving-claims-judge-tosses-lawsuit">faced regulatory scrutiny</a> and multiple lawsuits after hundreds of accidents. After years of delays, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is finally set to unveil Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi network, but skepticism surrounds whether it will live up to the hype.
Waymo, owned by Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), has already established a substantial lead in the market. It currently boasts over 22 million driverless miles and soaring demand in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix.
Tesla does not yet have any fully-driverless vehicles on the road.

Why It Matters: Waymo has worked hard to reassure users with a safety-first approach, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39924838/alphabet-commits-to-another-5b-investment-in-waymo-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-takes-jibe-at-cash-burn-in-un">dedicated online hub</a> touting the reliability of its cars.
Tesla, however, has a history of overpromising. 
When the company first introduced Full Self-Driving (FSD) in 2016, it claimed that the car would eventually be able to drive itself completely, with no supervision required.
Musk touted that it would be roughly two years before driverless cars could be summoned. See below. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land &amp; not blocked by borders, eg you&#39;re in LA and the car is in NY
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 10, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
But by 2024, Tesla hadn&#8217;t revealed any driverless tech. It even changed the acronym on its app from FSD to "Supervised," meaning drivers still have to keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road.
Whether the Robotaxi event reveals any progress in this segment remains to be seen. 
Regardless of how far along autonomous technology is, the stakes remain high for ride-sharing services like Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NYSE">LYFT</a>).
Why rely on a human driver, tip included, when a robotaxi might be available at a tap?

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Twilio Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/twlo#NYSE">TWLO</a>) provides developers and businesses tools and products to enhance their communications with customers. Its cloud communication-as-a-service (CPaaS) platform offers basic services like voice, email, and SMS messaging to more advanced interactive services like video, artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, voice application programming interfaces (APIs), and identity authentication. Gartner ranked it as a CPaaS leader in its Magic Quadrant for the second year in 2024. Twilio has leveraged AI into its services to provide more flexibility and enhance experiences.
The computer and technology sector leader has well-known clients, including the top streaming service Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>), Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abnb#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), and rideshare duopolies Uber Technologies Inc.&nbsp;and Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyft#NASDAQ">LYFT</a>). It competes with 8X8 Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eght#NASDAQ">EGHT</a>).
<h2>The Value Proposition of CPaaS </h2>
On the surface, CPaaS may not seem like a big deal, especially as an end user.&nbsp;However, the benefit of CPaaS, like most&nbsp;as-a-service platforms (aaS), is not having to bear the expense of in-house building, managing, maintaining, and upgrading the complex hardware and software infrastructure. This and the ability to scale the services to millions of customers are the major value propositions. Businesses use CPaaS to embed communication channels like voice calls, video, email, and text messaging into their mobile apps. Consumers often take these services for granted because they are commonplace these days.
For example, If you&#39;ve ever ordered an Uber or Lyft ride through their mobile apps, Twilio&#39;s platform enables the rideshare app to:
<ul>
<li>Send an SMS notification when a driver has been found.</li>
<li>Provide real-time location updates notifying you the driver is on the way and has arrived.</li>
<li>Enables driver and passenger communication features like calling and texting if you&#39;re wondering where the driver is.</li>
<li>Enables text, email, and voice calling options to contact customer service if there&#39;s a problem.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Rich Communication Services (RCS) Is a Game Changer</h2>
Twilio offers RCS, enabling businesses to take their text messaging to the next level without users downloading more apps. RCS enables companies to send rich media like videos, images, logos, and pictures in text messages. It can include buttons, links, or other triggers enabling the end user to take an action like making a payment, voting, or booking an appointment. It provides a more interactive and branded communication experience with customers, ultimately leading to an improved customer experience and higher conversion rates.
<h2>Twilio Leverages AI Services Like Auto Pilot and Flex Insights </h2>
Twilio offers its tools and services as APIs that companies and developers can customize to refine their brand and use cases. AI products like Autopilot let developers create, train, and customize interactive voice response (IVR) systems and intelligent AI chatbots that can engage customers, understand natural language, automate tasks, and authenticate and transfer customers to the right agents. Flex Insights monitors and analyzes conversations between customers and agents to provide data analytics, sentiment analysis, and transcription services to optimize workflows for and with agents.
<h2>Twilio&#39;s Recovery Is Taking Shape </h2>
Twilio&#39;s second-quarter of 2024 results indicate that business is recovering. The company reported a 17 cents EPS beat, coming in at 87 cents. Revenues grew 4.4% YoY to $1.08 billion, which also beat consensus estimates of $1.06 billion. They grew their active customer accounts to over 316,000 in the quarter compared to 304,000 in the year-ago period. The company has $800 million left in its $2 billion share buyback program, which it will complete by year&#39;s end.
The company issued Q3 2024 EPS of 81 to 86 cents versus 74 cents consensus estimates. Twilio expected revenues of $1.085 billion to $1.095 billion versus $1.09 billion consensus estimates. For fiscal 2024, Twilio is raising its non-GAAP income from operations, which ranges from $650 million to $670 million, up from the previous forecast of $585 million to $635 million. Organic revenue growth was narrowed to 6% to 7% compared to 5% to 10% previously forecast.
<h2>TWLO Stock Is in an Ascending Triangle Pattern </h2>
An ascending triangle is a bullish pattern comprised of a flat-top upper trendline resistance indicating the supply overhand. The ascending (rising) trendline is formed by higher lows, indicating rising demand. A breakout occurs when the stock surges through the upper trendline, whereas a breakdown occurs if the stock falls below the ascending trendline.
<img alt="Twilio TWLO stock chart" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20240922163137_chartq-twlo.jpg" style="height:748px; width:915px" />
TWLO has an upper trendline resistance at $63.91. The stock has been recovering since the $52.51 swing low. The anchored VWAP support is steadily rising at $58.86. As TWLO rises to test the flat-top resistance, it also has the potential to reach the lower gap-fill level at $64.89. The upper gap fill would occur if TWLO rises to $68.85. The daily relative strength index (RSI) is rising to the 61-band. Fibonacci (Fib) pullback support levels are at $61.47, $59.56, $56.86, and $53.81.
Twilio&#39;s average consensus price target is $70.52, and its highest analyst price target is $110.00. &nbsp;
Bullish investors can buy on pullbacks using cash-secured puts at the fib pullback support levels to buy the dip and write covered calls at fib extensions to execute a wheel strategy for income.
By implementing a bullish call debit spread, bullish options investors can limit maximum downside and profit from modest upside gains for less capital than owning the stock.

Seize the Growth: Twilio's AI Innovations Are Driving Huge Upside

As of Sept. 25, 2024, five stocks in the industrials sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
The RSI is a momentum indicator, which compares a stock&#8217;s strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down.
