| 27.06.25 09:55:01 | BMW begins installation of production systems at new Bavaria battery plant |  |
| BMW Group has commenced the installation of production systems at its new assembly plant in Irlbach, Bavaria, Germany, for high-voltage batteries. The construction of the high-voltage battery assembly plant began in April 2024. The first high-voltage batteries for testing are expected to be produced by the end of 2025, with series production slated to begin at the end of 2026. The company aims to leverage German expertise, with local Bavarian companies contributing to the construction and manufacturing processes. In the upcoming months, the company’s employees will collaborate with partner firms to assemble and build the production facilities. The new Plant Irlbach-Straßkirchen plant is expected to generate 1,600 employment opportunities, and the company is actively recruiting individuals for the plant’s operations. Currently, the company is producing the fifth generation of high-voltage batteries at the competence centre for e-mobility in Dingolfing, which is located 40km away. BMW Production board management member Milan Nedeljković said: “The Neue Klasse is full of innovations, and this is also reflected in manufacturing technologies. “In future, German vehicle plants will be supplied with sixth-generation high-voltage batteries from this location. The BMW Group has made a conscious decision to invest in Bavaria. This work proves that high-tech has a future in Germany.” This May, the company announced that it is progressing the exploration of all-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology by integrating large-format ASSB cells from Solid Power into its test vehicle, the BMW i7, operating in the Munich area.

| 21.06.25 10:30:05 | Meet the nine private humanoid robot firms shaping the future | |
| The humanoid robot arms race is on, and it’s not just Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) making noise with its Optimus humanoid—the real action is happening among a new generation of private players, each betting big on a future where humanoids are everywhere from factory floors to your living room, according to UBS analysts. High Yield Savings Offers Earn 4.10% APY** on balances of $5,000 or more View Offer Earn up to 4.00% APY with Savings Pods View Offer Earn up to 3.80% APY¹ & up to $300 Cash Bonus with Direct Deposit View Offer Powered by Money.com - Yahoo may earn commission from the links above. "Understanding what these private companies are working on and tracking their progress can help inform investors about the future/feasibility of the humanoid robot opportunity and use cases such as more plant automation,” UBS analysts said in a recent note, pointing to a wave of start-ups already landing deals with auto giants like BMW (ETR:BMWG) and Mercedes. Figure AI: The unicorn out front Figure AI, founded in 2022, is going all-in on autonomous humanoids for manufacturing, logistics, and retail. Figure’s BotQ facility can crank out up to 12,000 robots a year, and the company is already using its own robots to build more robots. After a $1.5 billion Series C in May 2025, Figure’s valuation soared to $39.5 billion, with its first commercial deal inked with BMW and a second, undisclosed “major US company” already signed. Between these two customers, Figure believes there’s a path to 100,000 robots over the next four years. Agility robotics: real-world robots, real deployments Agility Robotics, meanwhile, is already deploying its Digit robots in logistics and manufacturing, targeting the more than one million unfilled material handling jobs in the U.S. With partnerships ranging from GXO Logistics Inc (NYSE:GXO) and Schaeffler to Tompkins (NYSE:TMP) Solutions, Agility is scaling up quickly, pushing robots-as-a-service deals and using its Agility Arc platform to control robots in tandem with other equipment. The company recently upgraded Digit’s battery life and safety features, and a minority investment from Schaeffler signals growing industry confidence. Collaborative Robotics: humans + robots, side by side Collaborative Robotics, or Cobot, is taking a different approach, focusing on AI-driven collaborative robots that work shoulder-to-shoulder with people in shared workspaces such as warehouses, hospitals, and factories. Since their 2024 debut, Cobot’s Proxie robots have logged over 5,000 operational hours and moved 16,000 carts in customer facilities. The company is developing cobots that integrate large language models, voice recognition, and speech synthesis to enable dynamic, human-like interaction on the job Apptronik: From nasa to mercedes Apptronik, with roots in NASA, has built Apollo, a robot designed for heavy lifting in manufacturing, logistics, and even healthcare. Commercial deployments began with Mercedes-Benz (OTC:MBGAF) in 2024, and new partnerships with Jabil and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) DeepMind are helping scale both production and AI capabilities. Apollo is built to perform physically demanding tasks in industrial spaces, working right alongside humans Story Continues 1x Technologies: home humanoids at scale 1X Technologies is targeting the home, planning large-scale deployment of its Neo humanoid in the U.S. in 2025. The company’s acquisition of Kind Humanoid is accelerating its tech development, and 1X is backed by EQT (ST:EQTAB) Ventures. Their focus is on creating an abundant supply of labor via safe, intelligent humanoids, scaling from research and development to full-scale manufacturing Mentee robotics, skild ai, foundation robotics labs, plus one robotics: the next wave The next wave of contenders is equally ambitious. Mentee Robotics is building robots that can be “mentored” in real time by humans, aiming for personalized, adaptive bots. Skild AI is all about general-purpose robotic intelligence, boasting a $4.7 billion valuation and backing from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and SoftBank (TYO:9984), with its sights set on construction, manufacturing, and security robots. Foundation Robotics Labs is shipping robots for manufacturing, logistics, domestic, and defense use, with a goal of delivering over 10,000 units in 2026. Plus One Robotics, meanwhile, is the parcel-handling specialist, with over one billion picks and AI-powered warehouse automation already saving customers millions in labor costs. While Tesla may be the face of the humanoid-enabled robot future, UBS suggest the real battleground is among these private upstarts—each racing toward a multi-billion-dollar reality, one robot at a time.

| 22.04.25 10:45:00 | Volvo Lays Off Another 350 Employees at New River Valley | |
| AB Volvo (publ) VLVLY shares have rallied 7.5% since the beginning of the year, but has continued to retrench employees to weather the storm that the Trump tariff measures have dragged the automotive industry into. On Saturday, a Volvo Trucks North America spokesperson stated that up to 350 employees at the company’s New River Valley, Dublin, VA, plant had been notified that their services would be terminated on June 27. This brings the number of employees retrenched by the Sweden-based company to around 980 since the commencement of 2025. It employs a total of 7,900 total workers at the New River Valley, Lehigh Valley and Hagerstown plants. In recent days, Volvo has also announced layoffs at its Mack Trucks Lehigh Valley Operations in Macungie, PA, and Volvo Group Powertrain Operations plant in Hagerstown, MD. Volvo, a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company that currently has a VGM Score of B, is part of the Zacks Automotive – Original Equipment industry. Over the past two years, VLVLY has advanced 24.1% against a decline of 14% in Zacks peer group and a rise of 1.8% in the industry. Peers like Bayerische Motoren Werke AG BMWKY has lost 21.8% and Lear Corporation LEA declined 41.3% in the same period. Both BMW and Lear currently carry a Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Janie Coley, the Volvo spokesperson said to The Patriot News, “Heavy-duty truck orders continue to be negatively affected by market uncertainty about freight rates and demand, possible regulatory changes, and the impact of tariffs. In the case of New River Valley, this is unfortunately a second wave of layoffs. You might recall that we announced a layoff of 250-350 in February; this ended up being about 180 people, due to attrition. So we currently expect that the total impact at New River Valley will unfortunately be about 430 to 530 people.” This is not the first time that the plant is witnessing mass layoffs. In 2019, approximately 3,000 Volvo employees were temporarily laid off in the Dublin plant after workers in Maryland went on strike. Later in the year, Volvo announced it would lay off 700 employees due to decreased demand. How the company gets impacted in the current volatile market remains to be seen.

| 15.04.25 06:55:48 | Bayerische Motoren Werke (ETR:BMW) Has Announced That Its Dividend Will Be Reduced To €4.30 | |
| Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BMW) is reducing its dividend from last year's comparable payment to €4.30 on the 19th of May. This means that the annual payment will be 6.3% of the current stock price, which is in line with the average for the industry. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Bayerische Motoren Werke's Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings While it is always good to see a solid dividend yield, we should also consider whether the payment is feasible. Based on the last payment, Bayerische Motoren Werke was earning enough to cover the dividend, but free cash flows weren't positive. With the company not bringing in any cash, paying out to shareholders is bound to become difficult at some point. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 20.7% over the next year. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 33% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.XTRA:BMW Historic Dividend April 15th 2025 See our latest analysis for Bayerische Motoren Werke Dividend Volatility While the company has been paying a dividend for a long time, it has cut the dividend at least once in the last 10 years. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from €2.90 total annually to €4.3. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 4.0% per annum over that time. Modest growth in the dividend is good to see, but we think this is offset by historical cuts to the payments. It is hard to live on a dividend income if the company's earnings are not consistent. Bayerische Motoren Werke Could Grow Its Dividend With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. Bayerische Motoren Werke has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 9.6% per annum. Bayerische Motoren Werke definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio. Our Thoughts On Bayerische Motoren Werke's Dividend Overall, it's not great to see that the dividend has been cut, but this might be explained by the payments being a bit high previously. While the low payout ratio is a redeeming feature, this is offset by the minimal cash to cover the payments. We would be a touch cautious of relying on this stock primarily for the dividend income. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company. Just as an example, we've come across 2 warning signs for Bayerische Motoren Werke you should be aware of, and 1 of them is significant. If you are a dividend investor, you might also want to look at our curated list of high yield dividend stocks. Have feedback on this article?

| 13.04.25 08:30:24 | Owning 37% in Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BMW) means that insiders are heavily invested in the company's future | |
| Key Insights Bayerische Motoren Werke's significant insider ownership suggests inherent interests in company's expansion 51% of the business is held by the top 5 shareholders Institutional ownership in Bayerische Motoren Werke is 30% AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. To get a sense of who is truly in control of Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:BMW), it is important to understand the ownership structure of the business. And the group that holds the biggest piece of the pie are individual insiders with 37% ownership. In other words, the group stands to gain the most (or lose the most) from their investment into the company. With such a notable stake in the company, insiders would be highly incentivised to make value accretive decisions. In the chart below, we zoom in on the different ownership groups of Bayerische Motoren Werke. See our latest analysis for Bayerische Motoren Werke XTRA:BMW Ownership Breakdown April 13th 2025 What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Bayerische Motoren Werke? Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. Bayerische Motoren Werke already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Bayerische Motoren Werke, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.XTRA:BMW Earnings and Revenue Growth April 13th 2025 Bayerische Motoren Werke is not owned by hedge funds. Our data shows that Susanne Klatten is the largest shareholder with 20% of shares outstanding. With 16% and 8.8% of the shares outstanding respectively, Stefan Quandt and AQTON SE are the second and third largest shareholders. On looking further, we found that 51% of the shares are owned by the top 5 shareholders. In other words, these shareholders have a meaningful say in the decisions of the company. While it makes sense to study institutional ownership data for a company, it also makes sense to study analyst sentiments to know which way the wind is blowing. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily. Story Continues Insider Ownership Of Bayerische Motoren Werke The definition of company insiders can be subjective and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. Management ultimately answers to the board. However, it is not uncommon for managers to be executive board members, especially if they are a founder or the CEO. Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft. It is very interesting to see that insiders have a meaningful €15b stake in this €41b business. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them. You may wish to access this free chart showing recent trading by insiders. General Public Ownership The general public, who are usually individual investors, hold a 34% stake in Bayerische Motoren Werke. While this size of ownership may not be enough to sway a policy decision in their favour, they can still make a collective impact on company policies. Next Steps: I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too.
