Robotaxi Rally, PayPal’s NCAA Power Play, and Unilever’s $1.5B Soap Bet
Tesla’s robotaxi launch in Austin and Waymo’s expansion into Atlanta have triggered a major rally in autonomous vehicle stocks like Aeva, Mobileye, and Pony.ai, with investors betting big on the sector’s long-awaited momentum. Meanwhile, PayPal has locked in an exclusive partnership with the Big Ten and Big 12 to distribute compensation to student-athletes under the landmark House v. NCAA settlement, positioning itself as the digital payment leader in college sports. Lastly, Unilever acquires Dr. Squatch for $1.5 billion, doubling down on influencer-driven branding and DTC strategy to modernize its men’s grooming portfolio after past missteps with Dollar Shave Club.
