Jefferies has identified companies that could benefit from the development of humanoid robots in the next decade. The firm predicts that the adoption of humanoid automatons will occur in commercial settings, where the return on investment is clearly defined, due to global demographics, safety concerns and the desirability of certain jobs. Key drivers of the boom are an aging population increasing demand for supplemental labor, declining interest among younger generations in manufacturing jobs, and ongoing advancements in semiconductor and artificial intelligence technology. Tesla, where analyst Philippe Houchois has a hold rating and a $300 price target, is among the companies predicted to benefit from this trend. Other notable companies include Freeport McMoRan, Alcoa, and Nucor.
