Shares of Serve Robotics (SERV) climbed more than 14% during Wednesday’s premarket session following a pair of positive developments: a strategic delivery partnership announcement and fourth-quarter financial results that exceeded analyst expectations.
The autonomous delivery company revealed a collaboration with White Castle to fulfill orders from the iconic fast-food chain via Uber Eats (UBER). Customers ordering within Serve’s operational areas will have their White Castle items delivered by the company’s self-driving sidewalk robots.
This arrangement strengthens Serve’s presence within the Uber Eats ecosystem, which serves as a critical distribution platform for the robotics firm.
According to CEO Ali Kashani, this collaboration represents a significant achievement for Serve. “White Castle is a legendary brand that helped define convenient, fast meals, and we’re thrilled to bring that legacy into the future,” Kashani stated.
“Seeing a Serve robot roll down the sidewalk with a Crave Case will soon feel like a natural extension of the White Castle experience,” Kashani added.
Fourth Quarter Performance Exceeds Forecasts
Beyond the White Castle announcement, Serve released its fourth quarter earnings report — and the numbers surpassed analyst projections.
The company reported a loss of $0.46 per share, beating Wall Street’s expectations. Revenue reached $0.88M, also exceeding consensus estimates.
It’s worth noting that Serve remains in its growth phase, so current revenue figures are relatively modest. However, outperforming on both metrics signals positive momentum.
Management Upgrades 2026 Revenue Forecast
Perhaps more significant than the quarterly results was the company’s revised forward-looking guidance. Serve boosted its full-year 2026 revenue projection to roughly $26M.
This figure exceeds the previous analyst consensus estimate of $25.28M.
Upward guidance revisions typically capture investor attention. Such moves indicate management’s growing confidence in business development and revenue generation capabilities.
The White Castle collaboration contributes to this optimistic outlook. Partnering with a nationally recognized quick-service restaurant brand expands potential order volume for Serve’s autonomous fleet.
Serve’s robotic delivery vehicles navigate sidewalks to complete last-mile deliveries in metropolitan markets. The fleet is currently operational in select Los Angeles neighborhoods.
The strategic alliance with Uber Eats has formed the foundation of Serve’s market entry approach, with the White Castle deal marking the latest expansion of this critical partnership.
SERV shares experienced substantial gains during Wednesday’s premarket trading, responding positively to both the better-than-expected quarterly performance and the new commercial partnership.
The updated 2026 revenue target of approximately $26M represents substantial growth for a company that generated $0.88M in fourth quarter revenue.
