Einride AB, founded in 2016, made its Nasdaq debut on Wednesday morning with ticker symbol ENRD, experiencing a sharp 90% intraday gain. The Swedish company completed a SPAC merger with Legato Merger Corp. III, raising over $200 million in gross proceeds including $113 million in PIPE capital from institutional investors like EQT Ventures. The final equity valuation of $1.35 billion was lower than the $1.8 billion initially proposed when the deal was announced in November. Einride operates approximately 200 autonomous electric vehicles across seven countries and serves over 30 enterprise customers including GE Appliances, Apotea, PepsiCo, and Heineken, with approximately $92 million in expected annual recurring revenue from signed contracts. The company's technology includes cab-less autonomous trucks and freight services, with licensing opportunities for operational planning AI and autonomous driving systems. CEO Roozbeh Charli emphasized that electric and autonomous solutions are becoming the most cost-efficient option for freight trucking, with current customer deployments already profitable.

SpaceX IPO Makes Elon Musk World's First Trillionaire as Shares Surge 19% on Debut
SpaceX shares closed up 19% on their first trading day, pushing Elon Musk's net worth to approximately $1.11 trillion and making him the first individual in history to cross the trillion-dollar threshold. The company raised $75 billion at an IPO price of $135 per share, with shares closing near $161, giving SpaceX a market capitalization of roughly $2.1 trillion despite the company reporting a net loss of $4.94 billion in 2025. The milestone has drawn both investor enthusiasm and sharp criticism over Musk's social media conduct and concerns that the IPO's structure exploits passive index fund mechanics to extract wealth from ordinary retirement savers.
