JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The head of self-driving auto technologies firm Mobileye and one of Israel's leading businessmen, Amnon Shashua, on Sunday urged the immediate ouster of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. The only solution to the current situation in Israel is to replace the government, and it needs to happen immediately," Shashua wrote in an opinion piece in financial daily Calcalist. Netanyahu has not taken responsibility over intelligence and operational failures, saying only that there would be time to ask tough questions, including of himself, after the war. Shashua co-founded Mobileye firm in 1999. It was bought by Intel in 2017 for $15.3 billion and last year again went public.

July 27 (Reuters) - Mobileye Global (MBLY.O) said on Thursday it expects a smaller operating loss for the full year as resilient demand for the company's driver-assistance technology helped it report a better-than-expected quarterly revenue. Mobileye now expects an annual operating loss in the range of $98 million to $129 million, compared with its previous forecast of a loss of $166 million to $195 million. The company said in May that Porsche (P911_p.DE) and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles would partner with Mobileye to incorporate its automated driving software in future models. In the second quarter, Israel-based Mobileye reported revenue of $454.0 million, compared with analysts' estimates of $450.6 million, according to data from Refinitiv. Mobileye, in which Intel (INTC.O) retains majority ownership, listed on the Nasdaq last year after raising $861 million in an initial public offering.

Mobileye signage during the company's IPO at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York, US, on Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2022. Shares of Mobileye, Intel 's self-driving subsidiary, were trading sharply lower on Thursday after the company cut its full-year forecast, citing weakness in China's electric vehicle market. In January, the company guided to revenue between $2.192 billion and $2.282 billion and an operating loss between $110 million and $160 million. China's EV market has been roiled by Tesla 's recent aggressive price cuts and a reduction in government incentives for EV buyers. Mobileye counts Chinese EV makers Nio and Zeekr, a unit of Chinese automaker Geely, among its customers.

BEIJING — Geely -backed electric car brand Zeekr said Monday it's now valued at $13 billion after a $750 million raise from Chinese battery giant CATL and others. Zeekr is not yet publicly listed, but Geely said in December the brand filed confidentially for an initial public offering in the U.S. The new $13 billion valuation makes Zeekr worth more on paper than Xpeng , which had a market value of $8.01 billion, according to Refinitiv Eikon data accessed Monday. Nio and Li Auto are worth much more, with market valuations of $17.22 billion and $25.22 billion, respectively, the data showed.

SHANGHAI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Zeekr, the electric car brand of China's Geely Automobile Holdings (0175.HK), is raising $750 million from five new and existing investors in a funding round that values the brand at $13 billion. Zeekr, which sells two purely electric car models, said in a statement on Monday that proceeds from the funding round will be used to support technology research and the global expansion of the Zeekr brand. The investors include Amnon Shashua, CEO and founder of autonomous driving technology company Mobileye Global (MBLY.O) - majority owned by Intel Corp (INTC.O) - and the Guangzhou city municipal government’s investment arm Yuexiu Industrial Fund, both new investors in the company. Supporters of the funding round also include Chinese battery maker CATL (300750.SZ), already among Zeekr's backers.

☆ Volkswagen to work with Mobileye on automated driving after Argo exit - sources
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Jan Schwartz | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

REUTERS/Shannon StapletonBERLIN, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) plans to expand its cooperation with Intel's Mobileye (MBLY.O) to include its automated driving program after Wednesday's decision to no longer invest in self-driving startup Argo AI, two sources familiar with the plan told Reuters on Thursday. Mobileye, which develops autonomous driving technologies, already cooperates with VW's software unit Cariad. Volkswagen's and Ford Motor's F.N exit from Argo came after three years of joint efforts on the development of automated driving systems and investments of more than $3 billion, highlighting the cost pressure automakers face in that field. Israel-based Mobileye went public this week, being valued at more than $20 billion. Chief Communications Officer Dan Galves said earlier this week that based on its design wins with automakers, the company's assisted driving systems would be deployed in 270 million cars by 2030.

The debut comes after a turbulent period when Mobileye settled for merely a third of the $50 billion valuation it was targeting earlier in its IPO. But there was a lot of value in gaining that public company platform now,” said Dan Galves, chief communications officer at Mobileye. Galves added it is important for Mobileye to generate product visibility now as that filters back to customers. Before being acquired by chipmaker Intel in a $15.3 billion deal in 2017, Mobileye had been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2014. Mobileye develops autonomous driving technologies and competes with Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Waymo, General Motors Co's (GM.N) Cruise and other automakers who have moved to design in-house driving assistance technology.

REUTERS/Shannon StapletonOct 26 (Reuters) - Shares of Mobileye Global Inc (MBLY.O) were set to open 20% higher on Wednesday, potentially valuing the self-driving technology unit of Intel Corp (INTC.O) at nearly $20 billion after the IPO was priced above the anticipated range. At 10:31 a.m. Eastern Time, the shares were indicated to open at $25.05, up from the initial public offering price of $21 per share. Mobileye's strong reception may buck the trend of recent market debuts where investors have given the cold shoulder to newly-listed companies. On Tuesday, Mobileye was valued at $16.7 billion after selling shares above the marketed range of $18 to $20, to raise $861 million.

☆ Mobileye pops more than 30% in market debut after spinning out of Intel

Mobileye shares popped more than 30% in their stock market debut on Wednesday after the maker of technology for self-driving cars was spun out of Intel . In a year that's seen no significant tech IPOs in the U.S., Mobileye offers investors an opportunity to get in on area of growth. At its IPO price of $21, Mobileye was valued at just $17 billion, resulting in minimal gains for Intel thus far. Intel will retain control of Mobileye and hold over 750 million shares of Class B stock, which has 10 times the voting power of Class A stock. Intel shares were down slightly on Wednesday and have lost about 47% of their value this year, while the Nasdaq is down 29%.

☆ Mobileye goes public, raising millions for Intel

Washington, DC CNN —Intel spun out its driver-assist subsidiary Mobileye Wednesday and raised $861 million in the initial public offering. Intel had purchased Mobileye in 2017 for $15.3 billion, but announced in Dec. 2021 that it would spin out Mobileye. Mobileye, founded in 1999 in Israel, was an early leader in emerging driver-assist technology that can perceive the road and steer accordingly. Mobileye says being a public company again may help it draw attention to its products. “It’s important for us to amplify attention and a public company platform really allows you to do that,” Mobileye spokesman Dan Galves told CNN Business Wednesday.

REUTERS/Shannon StapletonOct 26 (Reuters) - Shares of Mobileye Global Inc (MBLY.O) opened 27% higher on Wednesday, valuing the self-driving technology unit of Intel Corp (INTC.O) at $21.3 billion as investors lapped up what could be the last big IPO of 2022. It also underscores Mobileye's strong financials, analysts said, which attracted investors who have turned selective amid mounting economic challenges. "Investors now place greater focus on companies' free cash flows, revenues/profitability or path-to-profitability, over just growth projections," said Paul Go, global IPO leader at EY. Before being acquired by chipmaker Intel in a $15.3 billion deal in 2017, Mobileye had been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2014. On Tuesday, Mobileye was valued at $16.7 billion after selling shares above the marketed range of $18 to $20, to raise $861 million.

Intel 's self-driving subsidiary, Mobileye, is targeting an IPO that would value it at nearly $16 billion. Mobileye shares will be traded on the Nasdaq. It will hold over 750 million shares of Class B stock which has 10 times the voting power of Class A stock. In total, Intel expects there to be 796.26 million shares of Mobileye outstanding that, if priced at $20 at the high end of the range, would give the self-driving division a valuation up to $15.9 billion. The filing shows strong revenue growth for Mobileye from $879 million in sales in 2019 to $1.39 billion last year.
