Reason
Citi analyst Jeff Chung initiated coverage of Pony AI with a Buy rating and $29 price target. The firm believes the robotaxi sector is at an "inflection point." Citi is positive on the robotaxi market in China, expecting the penetration to grow from 0.1% in 2025 to 9.0% in 2030 and 30% in 2035. The firm rolled out coverage of China's largest robotaxi operators, Pony AI and WeRide, with Buys.

Reason
BofA lowered the firm's price target on Pony AI to $20 from $21 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company reported Q2 results. Management commented that its strong Robotaxi fare-charging revenue growth in Q2 has been driven by enlarged fleet size, extension of user adoption - its registered users grew 136% year-over-year in Q2, attractive pricing strategy; and enlarged operating areas in tier 1 cities. BofA remains bullish as it believes Pony will scale up its Robotaxi fleet size and see improving profitability, given better economies of scale and unit profitability.

UBS analyst Paul Gong initiated coverage of Pony AI with a Buy rating and $20 price target, which implies 53% upside from current levels. Pony is best positioned for China's robotaxi commercialization, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Pony is the only robotaxi company to start commercial fee-charging and driverless operations in all four tier one cities in China. Following test drives, UBS is impressed with the company's ability to handle complicated road situations without human help. It forecasts annual sales growth of 96% through 2030 for Pony.
