Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Zipline closed a $1.5 billion funding round at a $21.5 billion post-money valuation, led by Paradigm, WCM Investment Management and Layer Global, with Uber, Fidelity and JPMorgan among participating investors. The drone delivery company said the capital will expand its U.S. manufacturing facilities and hiring as it builds out a nationwide drone delivery network. Zipline also signed a new multi-year agreement with Walmart, with the two adding 300 delivery sites. The round marks one of the largest recent raises for a logistics robotics company and signals continued investor appetite for autonomous delivery infrastructure. Next, watch the pace of U.S. facility buildout and how quickly the additional Walmart sites come online.
