Solid Beat on Non-GAAP EPS, Strong Revs Growth, LiDAR shipments up 307% YoY, ADAS Shipmnets up 276% YoY, Really beautiful chart, In Theme - LIDAR/Robotaxi. Lot’s of contract wins in H1.

Very strong biotech candidate with Excellent Daily & Weekly chart. High Short Interest.

Honorable Mention to:

JOBY/UAVS (DRONES): Nice charts on both of these, UAVS with strong earnings pre market and JOBY with first successful airport to airport EVTOL flight. The drones theme has taken a pause but is still one of the more real longer term themes in my opinion, especially when compared to Quantum etc.
