10x revenue in 2026

Several reports this week indicate that individuals familiar with discussions within the Trump administration say administration insiders are interested in supporting the domestic robotics industry. The administration is considering issuing an executive order for the sector next year

A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce was quoted as stating, "We are committed to robotics and advanced manufacturing because they are central to bringing critical production back to the United States." The Department of Transportation is also reportedly involved in the discussions.

Government support would come at a crucial time for Serve Robotics. The company reported revenue of $1.8 million in 2024 and anticipates approximately $2.5 million for this year. However, management said it expects to see 10 times that revenue in 2026.

Combining those business prospects with potential public support has led investors to dive into Serve stock this week.
