Growth in Hims & Hers Health is showing no signs of stopping, according to Morgan Stanley. Analyst Craig Hettenbach initiated the telehealth company with an overweight rating and $42 price target. That suggests 53.6% potential upside for the stock, which has already soared a whopping 251% this year on continued enthusiasm over its mental health, weight loss and dermatology treatments. Hettenbach's thesis also relies on advantages presented by the experienced board of Hims & Hers Health. Of the 14 who cover the company, seven rate it as a hold, while another six have a buy rating, LSEG data shows.

GM is halting Cruise robotaxi development, merging it with its own technical team. General Motors is giving up on Cruise's robotaxi focus after eight years of pouring money into the commercial business. AdvertisementGM said on Tuesday that it will no longer fund Cruise's robotaxi development work because of increasing competition and the resources needed to scale the business. Before that, a Cruise robotaxi blocked emergency vehicles on their way to respond to a mass shooting. Cruise cofounder and former CEO Kyle Vogt, who resigned a month after the incident, criticized GM's decision on Tuesday.

New York CNN —General Motors is pulling the plug on its efforts to develop a fleet of driverless taxis and will focus on driver-assistance features that require a driver to be ready to take control of the car, the company said Tuesday. GM faces competition in the robotaxi market from Google’s Waymo unit in partnership with Uber, let alone ride-hailing and taxi services that use human drivers. But GM has decided that’s no longer a sector in which it makes sense to compete. GM CEO Mary Barra told investors Tuesday that the company decided the robotaxi service was not part of GM’s core business, and that shifting its self-driving technology efforts to driver assist features available on privately-owned cars will help with the products it offers to car buyers. “GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner,” said Barra in a statement.

General Motors will no longer fund its Cruise division's robotaxi development, the company said on Tuesday. GM said it plans to instead "realign its autonomous driving strategy" to focus on advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous systems for use in personal vehicles. The decision to halt its emerging robotaxi service came after collisions, a clash with regulators and the suspension of permits that allowed it to operate a robotaxi ride hailing service in California. At that point, Cruise began to focus on using the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt for development of its autonomous vehicles. SoftBank-funded Wayve is testing its autonomous vehicles in San Francisco, and Amazon-owned Zoox is also testing its autonomous vehicles, which do not feature steering wheels, in several U.S. cities including San Francisco.
