Cyngn Stock: Should You Buy The Nvidia Hype?
Cyngn (NASDAQ:CYN) stock has surged over 300% in just two trading days after AI chip titan Nvidia named the company in a blog post as one of a select group of robotics innovators using its Isaac robotics platform to build autonomous industrial vehicles. Cyngn specializes in autonomous vehicle technology tailored for industrial and logistics applications. Isaac is Nvidia's robotics platform that combines AI models for perception, reasoning, and control, serving as an open foundation model for robotic skills and decision-making. Cyngn's flagship product, DriveMod, retrofits existing industrial vehicles such as forklifts, turning them into autonomous machines. The announcement from Nvidia comes ahead of Automatica 2025, a major global automation and robotics event where Cyngn is set to showcase its latest technologies. Cyngn's vehicles, which integrate Nvidia's Isaac platform with its own DriveMod software, are already operating in live commercial environments, catering to customers in logistics, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. Although these tools could play an increasing role in streamlining operations and reducing labor costs, investors should be cautious when it comes to Cyngn's stock. But, if you are looking for an upside with a smoother ride than an individual stock, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P, and clocked >91% returns since inception.

(Photo by Hu Xiaofei/VCG via Getty Images) VCG via Getty Images Cyngn Is Still A Risky Bet Cyngn is still in the early stages of commercialization, with Q1 revenue of a mere $47,200, despite strong growth from a small base. Revenue volatility remains a concern. Over the past year, sales actually declined by 34.1%, falling from $0.6 million to $0.4 million, while the broader S&P 500 saw average revenue growth of 5.5%. Cyngn also posted a net loss of $7.6 million in Q1, reflecting continued heavy investment in R&D and scaling up its operations. The company recently announced a $15 million direct offering at $5.01 per share, providing additional capital but also diluting existing shareholders. With a high cash burn rate, Cyngn may need to raise more funds in the future. Valuation is also stretched. Cyngn trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 43.5, compared to 3.1 for the S&P 500. It's also worth noting that the recent rally was sparked largely by Nvidia's mention, not an exclusive partnership or contract. Cyngn is one of more than ten companies featured in Nvidia's blog post, and likely just one of many that will leverage Isaac moving forward. With limited revenue, significant losses, and a recent share issuance, the rally appears driven more by speculation, rather than business fundamentals. (Related: QuantumScape: 40x Upside For QS Stock?) While you would do well to be cautious about CYN stock for now, you could explore the Trefis Reinforced Value (RV) Portfolio, which has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 benchmark indices) to produce strong returns for investors. Why is that? The quarterly rebalanced mix of large-, mid- and small-cap RV Portfolio stocks provided a responsive way to make the most of upbeat market conditions while limiting losses when markets head south, as detailed in RV Portfolio performance metrics

Kandi Technologies Partners with DEEP Robotics to Expand North American Smart Golf Equipment and Security Robotics Business
JINHUA, CHINA, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ GS: KNDI) ('Kandi' or the 'Company'), long renowned as a leader in all-electric personal transportation and utility vehicles, today announced a strategic collaboration with Hangzhou Yunshenchu Technology Co., Ltd. ('DEEP Robotics'), a leader in embodied AI technology innovation and application. In response to the smart-manufacturing revolution and ongoing industry digitization — and building on years of expertise in the global off-road vehicle market — Kandi is accelerating its evolution into a platform enterprise anchored by intelligent-equipment manufacturing. Kandi's strategy is to use its stable cashflow businesses to incubate new high growth business units that leverage technology innovation and global supply-chain left to right: Feng Chen, CEO of Kandi Technologies Group, Xueqin Dong, Chairman of Kandi Technologies Group, Qiuguo Zhu, Founder & CEO of Deep Robotics, and Shixing (Eric) Wang, Director of the Americas at Deep Robotics Under these agreements, the two companies will combine manufacturing, technical and channel capabilities to co-develop smart golf equipment and security inspection quadruped robots for North America, fueling local production, market rollout and global expansion across diverse intelligent-robotics applications. Kandi will leverage its robust cash flow, built on years of R&D, manufacturing, and export of off-road vehicles such as UTVs and golf carts, together with its production facilities in China, Taiwan, and Texas and its distribution network spanning North America, Asia, and Europe.
