Options activity update: IRBT surged 73.85% in a single day, call options soared 1000%; SERV and TSLA benefited from the autonomous driving robot concept.

Good afternoon! Option Lord just woke up this morning and saw the "big name" $Irobot(IRBT.US), which surged 73.85% overnight? Overnight 1000% options? Simply unbelievable! Benefiting from the executive order on the robotics industry issued by Trump, the short-term positive effect has radiated across the entire robotics sector, including innovative home robotics IRBT, the rising star in last-mile delivery $Serve Robotics(SERV.US), and the absolute king of the robotics track $Tesla(TSLA.US), all of which have achieved considerable gains!
1. The Underdog Sweeper, America's "National Enterprise": IRBT Overnight Surge of 73.85%, "Sell-Out" Rumors Resurface? U.S. Government Robotics Policy "Ignites" Growth Points
At 12:03 PM EST (yesterday), $Irobot(IRBT.US) rose by 73.85%, the December 19th 4 Call surged 1000% overnight, with trading volume reaching as high as 27,211 contracts.
Amazon once offered to acquire IRBT for $1.4 billion, but the deal fell through in 2024 due to antitrust issues, leading to a crash in IRBT's stock price. Recently, rumors of "potential acquirers" or "strategic restructuring" have resurfaced. As an American brand of robotic vacuum cleaners, IRBT's market value is quite cheap, with the brand value, patent reserves, and market channels held by this $50 million company making many giants eager to enter the smart home field.
The executive order on robotics being considered by Trump aims to develop robotics and advanced manufacturing, which will be the foundation of the "reindustrialization" of U.S. manufacturing. As the only domestic robotic vacuum cleaner in the U.S., IRBT is expected to "discover a second growth curve" with government help, and naturally, its market value has seen a "return of American value" driven by policy.

2. Nvidia-Certified "Delivery Guy", the Most Approachable "AI Concept Stock" SERV
On December 3rd, $Serve Robotics(SERV.US) rose 18.24% overnight, with the December 5th 11 Call surging 1185% overnight and trading volume of 6,571 contracts.
The AI you can actually touch might be this delivery robot in front of you! SERV's delivery robots are not the "artificial idiots" delivering food in domestic hotels but the "human labor substitutes" that could disrupt the low-end service industry in the future! SERV has an unparalleled "family environment"—parent company Uber spun off SERV's business for an IPO, ensuring it always receives top-priority orders from Uber Eats! Meanwhile, godfather Nvidia has also invested real money, holding over 10% of the shares, making it a "pure-blood" AI robotics concept company.
If IRBT is hoping for "tariff protection," then SERV is counting on Trump's push for deregulation to help the U.S. robotics industry! Previously, autonomous delivery robots faced heavy regulatory hurdles to obtain road rights, with different regulations in each city and strict rules on whether they could operate on sidewalks. Level 4 autonomous driving, if allowed to roam freely in every corner of the city, could significantly reduce labor costs, benefiting Uber, businesses, and consumers alike! After all, robots don’t need tips.
At the same time, SERV can attract everyone's eyes with ads plastered all over its body. If you see a short, chubby robot resembling a Minion running around covered in ads, you’d definitely find it amusing!
SERV Business = Uber Orders + Nvidia's Brain + Public Transport Ad Model

3. Embodied AI Feast! The "Godfather" of Robotics—Tesla
If you're looking for the big player in this year's U.S. stock market "AI narrative," you can't ignore $Tesla(TSLA.US), one of the "Magnificent Seven"! With a market cap of $1.49 trillion, this Giant Tech surged 4.08% last night.
By now, Tesla's business direction has undergone earth-shaking changes. If you still see Tesla as just a "car company," you're not only underestimating Musk but also shortchanging your wallet! In the era of U.S. manufacturing reshoring, Tesla's valuation logic is undergoing a qualitative leap: from "EV giant" to "AI + Robotics Empire"!
Musk's frequent political appearances have tangibly accelerated his companies' breakthroughs in policy restrictions! No one in the government is blocking the rollout of FSD or the mass production of Optimus. Musk's ventures can be described as "reaching for the stars (SpaceX), digging into the earth (Tesla), virtual (Grok), and reality (X)"—a full-spectrum bloom.
Trump wants "reindustrialization," and Tesla happens to possess the world's strongest precision manufacturing capabilities. As Optimus's costs gradually decline, it will progressively replace the remaining blue-collar workers in high-end manufacturing. Selling cars is nothing compared to selling "beasts of burden"—Optimus is a productivity revolution aligned with the U.S. political narrative. That's why Musk can sign a "political endorsement" for TSLA's $10 trillion market cap.
