<li>Hesai Group, a global leader in LiDAR solutions in the ADAS and robotics markets, forecasted hyper-growth and GAAP profitability for the full year of 2025.</li>
<li>The stock has bottomed in the low $4s (~0.3x 2025E EV/Revs) in 2024 and gained about 350%. Hesai Group currently trades at ~4x EV/2025E revenues, ~32% discount relative to RoboSense.</li>
<li>I believe that the market has already priced in growth acceleration (~58% y/y) scenario in 2025 along with GAAP profitability and 1M+ LiDAR shipments this year.</li>

<li>Mitsubishi Motors plans to outsource EV production to Foxconn, signaling the most significant commercial validation of Foxconn’s MIH EV platform to date.</li>
<li>While Foxconn’s AI server manufacturing is currently the company’s strongest growth driver, its EV strategy is increasingly gaining credibility as a second long-term pillar.</li>
<li>Foxconn -- Structural Long. We see depressed share price as buying opportunity. Mitsubishi contract win increases the probability for additional major OEM production partnership wins this year for Foxconn.</li>
