At least six of the new energy vehicle maker's minority shareholders have sent letters to the NEV maker saying a proposed privatization price is too low
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Six minority shareholders of Zeekr have protested that a proposed offer to privatize the company is too low, according to a Reuters report</li>
<li>The company's stock currently trades at a price-to-sales ratio of just 0.63, less than a third of most of its major peers like Leapmotor and XPeng</li>
</ul>
Underperformer or underappreciated prodigy?
That's the big question swirling around new energy vehicle (NEV) maker&nbsp;Zeekr Intelligent Technology Holding Ltd.&nbsp;(ZK.US), whose recent privatization drive has hit a speed bump as some of its minority investors protest that the buyout price is too low, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-zeekr-investors-criticise-geelys-090215491.html">Reuters report</a>&nbsp;last Friday. At the same time, some might also say the company's low valuation is deserved, since Zeekr was quite late arriving to China's NEV race, and its sales have also started to contract this year.
This case also shines a spotlight on a major difference between stock exchanges in the U.S. and Hong Kong, which is where most major offshore-listed Chinese companies are traded. Whereas Hong Kong is quite protective of minority shareholders in cases like this, the U.S. is far less so.
At the center of this story is the question of valuation. In this regard, Wall Street investors don't think very highly of Zeekr, giving it a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of just 0.63, based on its market value of $6.8 billion at Monday's close. That's less than a third of the P/S ratio of 2.19 for three of Zeekr's top rivals,&nbsp;Leapmotor&nbsp;(9863.HK),&nbsp;XPeng&nbsp;(XPEV.US; 9868.HK) and&nbsp;Nio&nbsp;(NIO.US; 9866.HK). It's also less than half the 1.50 P/S ratio for&nbsp;Li Auto&nbsp;(LI.US; 2015.HK), China's other major pure NEV maker.
Nearly a month ago, on May 9, Zeekr controlling shareholder&nbsp;Geely Auto&nbsp;(0175.HK) offered to pay $25.66 for all of Zeekr's American Depositary Shares (ADS) that it didn't already own, representing a 20% premium to the company's stock price over the previous 30 days. The offer raised eyebrows on Wall Street because it came just a year after Zeekr raised $440 million in its New York IPO.
Zeekr said at the time it would set up an independent committee to evaluate the offer. But chances of the offer being accepted and ultimately approved by shareholders were already quite high, since Geely is Zeekr's majority shareholder with 65.7% of its stock.
Zeekr's shares jumped after the announcement, and quickly moved higher than the buyout price. At their latest close of $26.76 on Monday, they trade 4.3% above the buyout price, indicating investors believe Geely may raise its offer.
Now, we're learning that a big reason they believe that is because of the behind-the-scenes lobbying by at least six of Zeekr's minority shareholders who are saying the price undervalues the company's shares. Five of those are some of Zeekr's earliest investors, and have quite big names. That group includes CATL, the world's largest NEV battery maker, private equity major Boyu Capital, online video giant Bilibili and Intel Capital, a venture arm of U.S. chip giant Intel.
Those four companies, together with Cathay Fortune, have sent Zeekr two letters saying the current offer undervalues the company and are urging it to raise the price, according to Reuters. They argue that Zeekr has better cash flow and profitability prospects than its peers. Another investor, Y2 Capital, sent a similar letter to Zeekr leadership, according to the report.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Independent shareholder approval</h4>
The letter from the group of five shareholders urged Zeekr to only proceed with a privatization after receiving approval from a majority of its independent shareholders. That's where our previously mentioned key difference between U.S. and Hong Kong stock exchanges comes in.
U.S. privatizations can proceed after receiving approval from people holding a majority of a company's shares. In this case, Geely holds such a majority, meaning any deal ultimately put before shareholders would be guaranteed to succeed.
By comparison, Hong Kong has a rule specifically designed to protect minority shareholders in this kind of situation. In such cases, Hong Kong requires the deal to be approved by a majority of independent shareholders. Thus, in this case, a majority of the holders of the 34.3% of Zeekr's shares not owned by Geely would also need to approve the deal. For this reason, privatization bids in Hong Kong are far more likely to fail than in the U.S.
The minority shareholders who wrote the letters realize that Geely isn't under any obligation to raise its offer, which is why they are saying the company should still seek their approval of a final buyout price. So, why should Geely consider raising its offer price in such a situation?
Based on the P/S ratios, Geely's offer of $25.66 really does look quite low. An offer based on Li Auto's P/S ratio would yield a buyout price of $64, and the offer price would jump to an even higher $93 based on the ratios for Leapmotor, XPeng and Nio.
Zeekr's lower valuation is probably somewhat deserved, since the company was quite late coming to China's NEV auto race. Zeekr sold just 13,727 of its Zeekr-brand cars in April, far less than 41,039 for Leapmotor, 33,939 for Li Auto and 23,900 for Nio that month. What's more, Zeekr's April figure was down 14.7% year-on-year, as its sales began to contract after a year of strong growth in 2024.
Those sales figure and sales trends might explain why investors believe Zeekr isn't worth as much as its peers. But the company also has a major advantage over those rivals from its status as a member of the family of one of China's most successful private car makers. Geely is quite large and has many listed units, including Sweden's Volvo and Polestar and Britain's Lotus, following more than a decade of acquisitions and organic growth.
Geely founder Li Shufu built his empire by being a savvy businessman, which is why he's quite likely to consider the protests coming from the six unhappy shareholders. CATL is probably one of the top battery suppliers for Geely's NEVs, and Intel, Boyu and Bilibili are also big names that could damage Geely's reputation – and future fundraising potential – if they feel they are being treated unfairly.
Accordingly, we probably can expect Geely to raise its offer. The big question becomes, by how much? It's unlikely to raise it to match the valuations of the company's Chinese NEV peers. But a valuation based on a P/S ratio of just 0.75, or half of Li Auto's current ratio, would still equal a buyout price of $30.54, or about 14% above the stock's current price.

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) is the largest private-sector employer in the United States. As of 2024, the company had 2.2 million staff globally, down by 70,000 from five years earlier. According to its <a href="https://stock.walmart.com/financial-information/annual-reports">annual reports</a>, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/walmart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">retail giant&#8217;s</a> revenue has grown by over $157 billion in the last five years. 
If we compare several retailers&#8217; latest quarter revenue, Walmart reported $166 billion, compared to Costco Wholesale&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) $63.2 billion, Target Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) $24 billion and Home Depot&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) $40 billion.
Costco, Target and Home Depot each added tens of thousands of employees in the last five years.

Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) nearly doubled its global workforce to 1.6 million.
Walmart aims to grow sales by 4% annually without increasing its headcount, marking a contrast in the hiring dynamics of U.S. retail trade, which employed one in 10 American workers, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/5be70b28-018d-42d7-af8d-ea5a4bed4d44" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Tuesday. Walmart&#8217;s U.S. workforce has remained at 1.6 million in the last ten years.
Wall Street analysts Neil Saunders of GlobalData and Steven Shemesh of RBC Capital highlighted to the Financial Times that Walmart&#8217;s expansion without job creation reflects the prioritization of e-commerce and automation of cumbersome tasks. Artificial intelligence will offer an additional boost to these initiatives. Paul Lewellen, senior vice president of operations at Walmart, said automation upstream has allowed the company to free up five full-time associates to work in other store areas.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon and other executives snubbed the hiring concerns, citing that technology investments will lead to new roles for workers.
Meanwhile, critics argue that Walmart&#8217;s net sales in the U.S. have risen 36% in the past five years, while average U.S. hourly wages have increased by 28% to $18.25. Walmart stock surged over 146% in the last five years and 52% in the previous 12 months.
In April, Walmart showcased labor-saving technologies at two new warehouses outside Dallas, including a cold-storage hub for foods and a fulfillment center to enable speedy deliveries for e-commerce customers.
About 600 associates work inside the 730,000 sq ft refrigerated warehouse, implying one employee for every 1,200 sq ft. A multi-tiered geometry of lifts, conveyors and sorting machines handles perishables from suppliers and stores them in racks. Algorithms-guided robots later dispatch the foods to coolers at 175 regional stores. The centers can ship over twice the volume of traditional cold warehouses while cutting costs by 20%.
Two miles away, Walmart&#8217;s DFW-5 fulfillment center stocks items for a U.S. e-commerce business that grew by 21% in the latest quarter. The 1.5 million sq ft warehouse can hold up to two million individual products and employs 650 associates. Here, work that once took 12 steps has been reduced to five, helping to cut the cost by an expected 30% at the end of 2025.
DFW-5 replaced a Fort Worth, Texas, warehouse named DFW-1, where Walmart cut over 1,000 jobs.
According to annual reports, Walmart U.S.&#8217;s dedicated e-commerce fulfillment centers declined to 29, down from 40 in 2020.
In May, Walmart cut 1,500 global tech, U.S. operations and U.S. advertising staff.
WMT Price Action: Walmart stock was down 0.32% at $99.45 premarket at last check on Tuesday.

Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plan to build a second factory in Japan&#8217;s Kumamoto Prefecture remains vulnerable to the sudden inrush of workers from the contract chipmaker&#8217;s first plant, which is taking a toll on the rural infrastructure.
Interestingly, the chipmaker&#8217;s prioritization of the U.S. expansion reduced the urgency of production in Japan.

Japan&#8217;s connection to ancestral land has made it difficult to promptly improve infrastructure despite the availability of government subsidies to attract foreign factories.
Concerns also remain over the longer-term outlook for AI demand. Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s conviction over demand for chips critical to developing artificial intelligence helped reassure investors against the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies.
However, the company remains cautious about the outlook for the 2025 global economy and semiconductor industry.

The PPA will support Meta&#8217;s clean energy goals and regional operations with 1,121 megawatts of emissions-free nuclear energy. Constellation Energy stock gained after the announcement.
Beginning in June 2027, the agreement supports the relicensing and continued operations of Constellation&#8217;s high-performing Clinton nuclear facility for another two decades after the state&#8217;s ratepayer-funded zero emission credit (ZEC) program expires.

The deal will expand the output of the Clinton Clean Energy Center by 30 megawatts through plant uprates. The deal is also expected to deliver $13.5 million in annual tax revenue.
The Clinton Clean Energy Center was slated for premature closure in 2017 after years of financial losses despite being one of the best-performing nuclear plants in Illinois. However, the Future Energy Jobs Act prevented Clinton&#8217;s retirement by establishing a Zero Emission Credit program that financially supported the plant through mid-2027.
The Clinton Clean Energy Center&#8217;s economic and environmental impacts are significant. The Center employs over 530 people, contributes approximately $13.5 million in annual taxes, and generates enough carbon-free electricity to power over 800,000 homes.
An&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;by The Brattle Group found that shuttering Clinton would raise emissions by more than 34 million metric tons of carbon over 20 years, the equivalent of putting approximately 7.4 million gasoline-powered cars on the road for a year.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research to value and forecast stocks. However, many traders turn to technical analysis to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Ollie&#8217;s Bargain Outlet, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. 
For Ollie&#8217;s Bargain Outlet, the 200-day moving average sits at $103.46, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $110.70. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.

Ethereum consistently supports <a href="https://www.developerreport.com/ecosystems/ethereum">over 6,000 monthly active developers</a>, dwarfing the combined developer activity of layer 1 chain rivals Solana (<a href="https://www.developerreport.com/ecosystems/solana">~3,200</a>) and Avalanche (<a href="https://www.developerreport.com/ecosystems/avalanche">~406</a>). Monthly active developers numbers reflect the number of software engineers that are building applications on a particular blockchain, opposed to monthly active users, which measures things like active wallets, or trading and gaming on the blockchain. "Ethereum&#8217;s has a deep bench of talent and they are not chasing transient yield farms," Loktev said. "They are focused on building scalable infrastructure with real-world use cases."
Loktev said Ethereum still offers "unmatched benefits" for users. He named a unified security model and integrated liquidity layers. "When you&#8217;re staking (coins) or securing billions in value, architecture isn&#8217;t a footnote—it's the main story," he said. "Ethereum continues to make the right choices for long-term institutional trust."
Unfortunately investors have not done well holding ETH this year, and over the last 12 months, despite relatively strong news for Ethereum. Spot Ethereum exchange traded funds recorded cumulative net inflows of $493 million in May, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45718946/ethereum-books-record-institutional-inflows-xrp-sees-outflows-what-is-going-on">a record streak</a> of 9 consecutive days of positive inflows and $321 million in just the last week of May.
Technological advancements like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45260729/ethereums-pectra-upgrade-goes-live-reshapes-wallet-logic-and-raises-security-and-bandwidth-concerns">Pectra upgrade </a>have not helped investors here. Ethereum has experienced a significant decline of approximately 31.9% over the past year. Within its big rivals, only Avalanche (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/avax-USD">AVAX</a>) has done worse, down around 38%.
Solana (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol-USD">SOL</a>): -5.7%
Cardano (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada-USD">ADA</a>): +54.2%&nbsp;
Binance Smart Chain (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb-USD">BNB</a>): +7.4%
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Good for Ethereum, is Good for All</h2>
Falling gas prices on Ethereum are a welcome improvement, said Shahaf Bar-Geffen, Chief Executive Officer of COTI (<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COTI-USD">COTI</a>), a fintech platform for digital payments, "but Ethereum&#8217;s transactions per second limitations persist."&nbsp;
This and other bottlenecks keep competitive blockchains going, making it easier for them to attract developers and commercial clients. Most of them will have their own specific spin on what makes their blockchain unique. Privacy is a favorite for Coti users.
COTI developers were <a href="https://medium.com/cotinetwork/coti-joins-cbdc-project-as-pioneer-of-ecbs-digital-euro-d0083bc3806b">involved </a>in the design of the Digital Euro, and is a <a href="https://sabc.ai/">founding member </a>of the $140 billion Saudi Arabia AI &amp; Blockchain Center.&nbsp;
"Ultimately, developers need infrastructure that scales with their ambitions, so using a blockchain goes beyond just worrying about fees," he said. "Our approach isn&#8217;t just about being a cheaper option to Ethereum; it&#8217;s about creating a privacy infrastructure that is needed if you want to scale open (public) systems," he said.
The COTI token is down 39% year-to-date.
Progress in the industry is always a good thing, said John Wang, Head of Neo Ecosystem Growth and Managing Director of Neo Ecofund.&nbsp;
"Healthy competition drives innovation, and that benefits everyone," Wang said.
For Neo, a better Ethereum isn't a threat, though the NEO token has taken a hit this year worse than ETH. "It reinforces what we've believed from the start, that developers deserve performance, affordability, and a user-friendly infrastructure. Some blockchains may have gained attention purely due to Ethereum's high gas costs, but our value proposition goes beyond being an alternative," he said.&nbsp;
Falling Ethereum gas prices are not undercutting its rivals, even if their token prices are underperforming. The speculative nature of the cryptocurrency market doesn't always match the fundamentals of the company that issued the token in the first place.&nbsp;
As of now, there are 472 smart contracts built on Neo N3, and 1,842 smart contracts on Neo X — following the launch of their Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible sidechain.
Solana attracted interest from institutional investment houses lately, the Financial Times reported. Several major banks are now working with Solana to tokenize traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds; another sign that the Ethereum alternatives are viable.
BlackRock, VanEck Global and Wisdom Tree are working with the Avalanche blockchain to tokenize real world assets, Avalanche <a href="https://www.avax.network/about/blog/defi-grows-up-rwas-scalable-liquidity-and-institutional-access-on-avalanche?utm">said </a>on April 30.
"Ethereum has raised the bar now," said Wang. "We're more than ready to meet their challenge."

Scott Galloway, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45337334/scott-galloway-wants-to-cut-checks-for-rich-retirees-but-critics-say-his-fix-could-break-social-security">outspoken professor</a> and entrepreneur, says he gets it wrong all the time—and he doesn't try to hide it. &#8220;I bought Netflix at $12 and sold it at $10. Now it's at $1,100,&#8221; he said on a recent episode of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwdaYTvncwk">My First Million</a>&#8221; podcast. &#8220;I can&#8217;t stand people who are constantly taking pictures of all their wins and posting them on social.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Distressed Investing Over Hype Stocks</h2>
Despite that Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) miss, Galloway has racked up some big wins, mostly by betting on unpopular, overlooked assets. He says the best returns don't come from trendy stocks, but from distressed situations that smell, as he put it, &#8220;like urine.&#8221;

One of his best trades? Buying $10 million in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45448569/ftx-to-distribute-over-5b-to-creditors-in-second-round-of-payouts-on-may-30">FTX bankruptcy claims</a> for $2.2 million after digging through the exchange&#8217;s filings. He figured their investment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">AI company Anthropic</a> was worth much more than creditors realized. "Crypto took off, everything they had invested in went crazy," he said. &#8220;Looks like we&#8217;re going to get 160 cents on the dollar.&#8221;
He admits there was risk, but also effort. &#8220;I&#8217;m that guy who reads bankruptcy filings,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Vape Startups To Yellow Pages</h2>
Galloway&#8217;s biggest return came from helping bring vape company NJOY out of bankruptcy. He initially put in $2.5 million. After the company received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and was bought by Altria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>), his stake turned into $75 million.
&#8220;We almost went to zero two or three times,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that was hands down my best investment.&#8221;
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/overplay">Mark Cuban Backs This Innovative Startup That Turns Videos into Games&nbsp; &#8212; Claim Your Share Now</a>
Another win came from dying yellow pages company Dex Media. He got in for about $4 million and sold after the business successfully pivoted into software. "What is less sexy than Yellow Pages?" he said.
Still, he doesn't shy away from his losses. He once invested $5 million in a healthcare texting company that went to zero in just 18 months. And he left $2 million on the table after selling covered calls on a stock that jumped right after earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shift Away From U.S. Stocks</h2>
Galloway is now moving away from U.S. equities, citing sky-high valuations and political instability. "[If] you think you're diversified because you're in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-an-index-fund">index fund</a>, you're not, because I believe the U.S. is going to go flat in the next decade," he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to be almost entirely out of the U.S. market within three or four months.&#8221;
He&#8217;s especially bullish on Europe, clarifying how everyone thinks Europe is overregulated and boring, but that&#8217;s exactly when you invest. &#8220;When something&#8217;s been left for dead,&#8221; he said.
