James McIlree has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Kodiak AI’s significant discount compared to its competitor, Aurora Innovation, and its advanced autonomous driving technology. Kodiak AI’s flagship product, the Kodiak Driver, is a sixth-generation AI-controlled system that allows for Level 4 autonomous operation, demonstrating its capability through extensive real-world testing and operation without a safety driver.
Furthermore, the company’s strategic partnerships and production ramp-up plans, such as the agreement with Roush Industries, position it well for future growth. The low float of shares, due to the recent SPAC merger, suggests that the stock could be highly responsive to new developments. Additionally, Kodiak AI’s expertise in off-road autonomous operations presents substantial opportunities across various industrial sectors and military applications, supporting the optimistic outlook.
In another report released on October 20, Cantor Fitzgerald also initiated coverage with a Buy rating on the stock with a $13.00 price target.
KDK’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from $11.260 to $9.170, which is a -18.56% drop .
