In this episode of Implied, we break down the hype, the risks, and whether there’s any substance behind the buzz.

Elbit Systems (ESLT) stock has surged from $375 to nearly $480, powered by a massive $24 billion backlog that locks in years of revenue.

In this episode of Implied, we break down why every headline is moving Uber’s stock, what’s really at stake in the race for driverless dominance, and why the next two years could define Uber’s future.

But here’s the twist… the company is also facing a Nasdaq delisting threat and filed to raise half a billion in stock offerings.
