Buckingham analyst James Clement initiated Frontdoor (FTDR) with a Buy rating and $29 price target. He believes the stock's "very poor" trading since its spinoff from ServiceMaster (SERV) on October 1 provides a buying opportunity, stating that Frontdoor is in the process of raising prices and he thinks it has plenty of room to do so. Clement believes the most attractive long-term aspect of the story is the potential for Frontdoor to be a disruptor in home improvement, maintenance and repairs, but acknowledges the company will have to invest significantly to make this a reality.

Serve Robotics (SERV), an autonomous sidewalk delivery company, announced the pricing of its underwritten public offering of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $4.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $40 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The offering includes the participation of one of Serve's largest stockholders and strategic partners, Postmates, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uber Technologies Inc (UBER). Serve plans to use net proceeds from the offering to fund research and development of the next generations of Serve's robots, manufacturing activities, geographic expansion, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Aegis Capital Corp. is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
