Read MoreHide Full Article
Per Bloomberg, Daimler AG is discussing with the multinational automotive manufacturing company based in China, Geely Holding Group Co, to form a joint venture (JV) in areas of ride-hailing and car-sharing services in China. The underlying aim of this German automaker to build this JV is to challenge the mobile transportation platform, Didi Chuxing in China.
Lately, Daimler has been making huge investment in the autonomous and electric vehicle front. Earlier in this month, a partnership was formed between Daimler and Renault-Nissan for autonomous vehicles technology and mobility services.
Further, the Mercedes-Benz producer recently announced that it will begin building a battery plant in Tuscaloosa, AL. This move is in sync with the company’s $1-billion investment plan to upgrade its Alabama factory. In fact, Daimler intends to play a pivotal role in the development of e-mobility and attempts to introduce electric sports utility vehicle (SUV), the EQ.
Geely has been looking for a partner in the fields of electric and autonomous vehicle technologies. Though the partnership has not yet been formed, it looks very promising.
Year to date, shares of Daimler have underperformed the industry it belongs to. Over this time frame, shares of the company have decreased 28.1% compared with 25.3% decline recorded by the industry.

While both Allison Transmission and Volvo sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Navistar has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Volvo has an expected long-term growth rate of 15%. Over the past two years, shares of the company have risen 48.4%.
Navistar has an expected long-term growth rate of 5%. Over the past two years, shares of the company have risen 52.9%.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
