Welcome to Seeking Alpha's Wall Street Breakfast, where we cover the top news for investors every morning.

Good morning. Today is Monday, November 4th. I'm Julie Morgan. Nissan and Mitsubishi are partnering up.

Stone Peak is reportedly near a deal to acquire ATSG and Palantir reports earnings today.

Nissan Motor and Mitsubishi will form a joint venture by the end of fiscal 2024

for services involving electric vehicles and self-driving cars.

According to the report by a Japanese media outlet, the JV will aim to provide Robotaxy services

using Level 4 autonomous driving technology and at-home EV battery storage, among other services.

Nissan is currently developing the Robo Taxis while Mitsubishi is working to commercialize a system

that uses artificial intelligence to figure out optimal routes.

The companies are targeting to launch the robotaxies initially in Japan.

The JV will also work on providing a service that connects EVs to homes and power grids,

which would allow people to use electricity stored in their cars at home or sell it to power companies.

It will also explore the collection of used EV batteries for secondary use and recycling.

The venture will be funded equally by both companies with verification tests expected to begin in 2025,

according to the report.

Stone Peak Infrastructure Partners is nearing a deal to acquire Air Transport Services Group

familiar with the matter. According to the report, Stone Peak would likely pay $22.50 per share for

ATSG, a 30% premium from the company's closing price on Friday. Sources said the deal would

include debt and the deal could be announced as early as today. Neither Stone Peak nor

ATSG immediately responded to request for comment by seeking Alpha.

ATSG is expected to report its Q3 earnings on Friday.
