Ryde Group Ltd. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYDE#AMEX">RYDE</a>) is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/ac46363699/rydes-strategic-expansion-capturing-singapores-ultra-premium-ev-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">making a strategic entry</a> into Singapore&#8217;s rapidly expanding high-end electric mobility sector with the forthcoming launch of RydeLUXE 6.
This new ultra-premium electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) service is designed to cater specifically to the executive and luxury transportation market in Singapore, underscoring Ryde&#8217;s commitment to expanding its premium offerings and contributing to the nation&#8217;s green initiatives.
The new initiative is being deployed in collaboration with Atoll Discovery, following Ryde&#8217;s recent acquisition of a 40% stake in the fleet operator.

Through this partnership, Ryde will gain immediate access to Atoll&#8217;s GAC E9 fleet and a network of corporate clientele, boosting its premium offerings.
The venture aligns with Singapore&#8217;s growing appetite for high-margin, chauffeur-driven electric mobility solutions. The combined strategy is expected to contribute up to 10% of Ryde&#8217;s revenue by 2027.
RydeLUXE 6 will feature the GAC E9, a six-seater luxury PHEV known for its 136 km electric range and total hybrid range exceeding 1,000 km.
With DC fast-charging capability and executive-level amenities, the vehicle will anchor Ryde&#8217;s premium fleet and cater to VIP transport and corporate travel across Singapore&#8217;s hospitality sector.
Atoll plans to expand its GAC E9 fleet to 100 units by end-2026, with all associated driver-partners onboarding to Ryde&#8217;s premium platform.
This integration provides Ryde with a stronger presence in the upscale ride-hailing segment while offering consistent job availability to its driver network.
Driver-partners operating under RydeLUXE 6 will benefit from preferential rental rates at 4,200 Singapore dollars per month ($3,108) and bonuses of up to 300 Singapore dollars per month for completed rides.
Additionally, Ryde will route Atoll&#8217;s existing corporate contracts through its app, creating a reliable flow of high-paying jobs.
This initiative supports Ryde&#8217;s RydeGreen efforts and Singapore&#8217;s Green Plan 2030, which targets 50% vehicle electrification by the end of the decade.
Price Action: RYDE shares are trading lower by 8.57% to $0.3383 at last check Friday.

In an evolving landscape where efficiency and talent optimization are becoming paramount, Netflix Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)  remarkable revenue per employee sets it apart and shifts the market&#8217;s focus to the untapped potential of human capital. This challenges traditional metrics of company valuation, prompting investors to reassess the importance of workforce quality <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/labor-market">in driving future growth.</a>
Netflix had the highest revenue per full-time equivalent (FTE) among the nine big-cap companies in coverage, according to Needham.
The Netflix Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/580607ae846faa000106ab43/laura-martin">Analyst Laura Martin</a> maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $1,126 to $1,500.
The Netflix Thesis: The quality of a company's employee base "is a key asset and upside value driver," Martin said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Netflix recorded FTE of $2.78 billion in fiscal 2024, meaningfully higher than Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), the analyst stated.
"In total, NFLX reported nearly 2x higher average rev/FTE compared with the 9 big cap companies we cover," she further wrote.
The revenue and earnings estimates for fiscal 2026 have been raised from $49.07 billion to $49.89 billion and from $29.61 per share to $31.03 per share, respectively, Martin said.
NFLX Price Action:&nbsp;Netflix shares were down 0.29% at $1247.03 at the time of publication Friday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Here's What Netflix Does Better Than Apple, Meta And Google

A Reddit post in the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveRamsey/comments/1lst72m/when_you_say_im_paying_cash_and_the_dealer_looks/">r/DaveRamsey</a> community is getting attention after a car buyer described how bizarre it felt to show up at a dealership with actual money. &#8220;Nothing says ‘alien lifeform' like showing up with actual money at a dealership,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;The dealer looks at you like you just spoke fluent dolphin.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buyers Say Cash Creates Confusion, Not Perks</h2>
Many echoed the original poster's frustration, saying that walking in with cash doesn't get you VIP treatment—it makes you a problem. One person wrote, &#8220;Dealerships shouldn't exist, period,&#8221; and suggested all car sales should be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/12/42427200/amazon-autos-buy-your-next-car-online-its-just-a-click-away">done online</a> at set prices.

</ul>
Several Redditors claimed dealers actually raised prices when they mentioned they were paying in cash. Others said the only way to get a good deal was to pretend to finance, agree on a price, and then pay in full. In other words, never admit you're paying cash until it's time to sign.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financing: A Dealer&#8217;s Real Moneymaker</h2>
Multiple commenters, including a former finance manager, explained why cash buyers are seen as a threat. &#8220;Dealers don't just prefer financing, they profit from it,&#8221; one wrote. &#8220;Finance = dealer payday. Cash = &#8216;thanks for the floorplan payoff, now get out.'&#8221;
Upsells like extended warranties, maintenance plans, and interest rate markups are easier to sneak in when buyers focus on monthly payments. &#8220;It's way easier to convince someone to buy a $2,000 warranty when you say, &#8216;It's only $14 a month,'&#8221; another person noted.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Many Play The System To Win</h2>
Dozens of users shared a common workaround: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46264546/a-dave-ramsey-caller-skipped-her-car-payments-to-gamble-and-double-the-money-the-plan-failed-and-now-shes-19000-in-debt-with-no-car">finance the car</a> to get the best price and incentives, then <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45480821/a-redditor-asks-if-they-should-pay-off-half-their-auto-loan-or-invest-the-money-instead-im-genuinely-torn">pay off the loan early</a>. One person explained how they saved over $3,000 just by taking the loan and paying it off in 91 days. &#8220;It cost me $250 in interest,&#8221; they proclaimed.
A few warned to check for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-prepayment-penalty">early payoff penalties</a> and make sure the dealer still gets their kickback from the lender. &#8220;Most dealers need the loan to stay open for 90 to 120 days to keep their bonus,&#8221; one Redditor wrote. &#8220;Let the 3–4 payments go through, then pay it off if you want. You'll avoid interest for the most part and possibly walk away with a better deal.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Emotional Toll And Frustration</h2>
Many cash buyers said they were treated coldly or even mocked. One recalled a dealer shouting across the lot, &#8220;She&#8217;s paying in cash!&#8221; Another said the dealership wouldn&#8217;t even accept cash and asked them to leave and come back with a certified check.
One user summed up the sentiment: &#8220;They're not dealerships anymore. They're bankerships.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Some Dealers Push Back</h2>
A few self-identified dealership employees joined the thread to offer perspective. One said their location does about 60% of business in cash or check, and they treat both financing and cash buyers equally. But they admitted those practices vary widely.
Others blamed the system, not the salesperson. &#8220;People make it out like this is personal when it's just business,&#8221; a commenter wrote. &#8220;You&#8217;re a number to them.&#8221;
The general consensus is that if you&#8217;re planning to pay cash, play your cards close. Get the best price first, then decide how you want to pay.&nbsp;

With over $350 billion already funneled into artificial intelligence infrastructure, Goldman Sachs says the next phase of chip investing hinges on performance, cost-efficiency, and software breadth, setting the stage for new market leaders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">and fresh laggards.</a>
Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider sees the AI investment cycle transitioning from blind spending to early monetization, driving both opportunities and shakeouts across the semiconductor space.
In a new note shared Friday, Goldman rated seven top semiconductor stocks and introduced a &#8220;barbell&#8221; investing strategy: buy two types of companies. First, the performance leaders with strong software ecosystems. Second, the low-cost chipmakers helping companies run AI at scale.
"Although monetization has been elusive, we see early signs of incremental revenue and much clearer evidence of cost takeout to justify these investments," Schneider said.
Four stocks earned a Buy rating: Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>). Goldman is Neutral on Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Arm Holdings PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) and Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>). 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia And Broadcom Are Still The Big AI Bets</h3>
Goldman sees Nvidia as the primary beneficiary of the ongoing AI buildout. Despite talk of &#8220;peak AI&#8221; and rising competition from custom chips, Nvidia's strong product lineup, broad customer base and early signs of AI revenue give it the edge. Goldman set a $185 price target on the stock, or 12% above current market prices.
Broadcom is also a top pick. Goldman expects AI-related revenue to make up more than 40% of its total by 2026. Its strength in custom silicon for cloud giants and a solid software business make it one of the most reliable names in the space. Price target: $315, implying a 15% surge from current levels. 
"We believe the company will leverage its leadership in enterprise networking silicon to drive outsized share in custom silicon for hyperscalers," Schneider said about Broadcom. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Quiet Power Of Cadence And Synopsys</h3>
Chip design is getting more complex, and that's where software firms like Cadence and Synopsys come in.
Cadence, with a $380 price target, is gaining from the rise in custom chip development. More companies are designing their own AI chips, and Cadence provides the tools they need.
Synopsys, targeted at $620, is a key player in physical chip design. Its customer base is growing fast, and Goldman sees big upside—especially if its acquisition of Ansys goes through as planned.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AMD, Arm, Marvell: Neutral For Now</h3>
Goldman is cautious on AMD, Arm and Marvell. While all three are involved in AI, they don't offer the same upside potential right now.
&#8220;Our ratings reflect a more negative risk/reward skew on these companies' shares from current levels, or areas where we see additional downside risk to fundamentals," Schneider said.
AMD is in the AI race but faces tough competition from Nvidia and others. Arm has potential, but its growth depends on how widely its chip architecture spreads outside of smartphones. Marvell has AI exposure, but Goldman doesn't see enough upside right now to recommend buying.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI Is Already Saving Money—and That's Just the Start</h3>
Goldman says the first wave of AI tools is already helping companies cut costs—especially by reducing headcount. The firm estimates these tools could save Fortune 500 companies about $935 billion by 2030. That cash could then fuel more investment in AI that actually drives revenue.
Right now, real monetization is limited. Most AI tools still aren&#8217;t making serious money. But social media platforms are showing more engagement and better ad conversions. E-commerce is improving through smarter recommendation engines. That's the start of what could be a major return cycle.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key AI Trends To Watch</h3>
Goldman laid out five major themes for the chip sector in the next 12 to 24 months:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>AI spending is shifting from hype to real returns</li>
<li>Inventory cycles and demand mismatches will matter more</li>
<li>Geopolitical risks could reshape supply chains</li>
<li>The battle between chip architectures—x86, ARM, RISC-V—is heating up</li>
<li>Companies must decide between standard chips or building custom ones</li>
</ol>

 </style>After a detailed analysis of Broadcom, the following trends become apparent: 
<ul>
<li>
Notably, the current Price to Earnings ratio for this stock, 101.42, is 1.42x above the industry norm, reflecting a higher valuation relative to the industry.
</li>
<li>
It could be trading at a premium in relation to its book value, as indicated by its Price to Book ratio of 18.78 which exceeds the industry average by 2.08x.
</li>
<li>
The Price to Sales ratio of 23.52, which is 2.03x the industry average, suggests the stock could potentially be overvalued in relation to its sales performance compared to its peers.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 7.12% that is 3.1% above the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
With lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $8.02 Billion, which is 0.22x below the industry average, the company may face lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
The gross profit of $10.2 Billion is 0.33x below that of its industry, suggesting potential lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company is witnessing a substantial decline in revenue growth, with a rate of 20.16% compared to the industry average of 22.62%, which indicates a challenging sales environment.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752246059_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is a financial metric that helps determine the level of financial risk associated with a company's capital structure.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
When assessing Broadcom against its top 4 peers using the Debt-to-Equity ratio, the following comparisons can be made:
<ul>
<li>
Among its top 4 peers, Broadcom has a higher debt-to-equity ratio of 0.97.
</li>
<li>
This suggests a greater reliance on debt financing, which can expose the company to increased financial risk and potential volatility.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
The high PE, PB, and PS ratios of Broadcom indicate that the company is relatively overvalued compared to its peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment industry. On the other hand, Broadcom's high ROE suggests strong profitability performance, while its low EBITDA, gross profit, and revenue growth indicate potential areas of concern that may impact its competitive position within the industry.

<h3>The Importance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Cracking Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.
