'THE DECADE OF THE ROBOT’; BARCLAYS SEES PHYSICAL AI NEAR INFLECTION POINT

Barclays says advances in what it calls "brains, brawn and batteries" are pushing AI‑enabled robotics closer to large‑scale deployment, shaping the investment agenda for the next decade.

The bank estimates that "physical AI" - robots and autonomous machines - could become a market worth between $500 billion and $1.4 trillion, with a baseline around $900 billion. Autonomous vehicles are expected to drive almost half of that, contributing up to $550 billion.

"From humanoids and autonomous vehicles to industrial automation and drones, the market is scaling toward a trillion-dollar opportunity by 2035," says a team of Barclays analysts including Head of Thematic FICC Research Zornitsa Todorova.

Its investment case is framed around four pillars - improving computing (TSMC, Samsung, Nvidia), mechanics (Schaeffler, Valeo, MP Materials) and energy systems (EVE Energy and CATL), supported by "enablers" such as Tesla and Xpeng or Amazon, who play a critical role by either building robots directly, or by accelerating adoption through direct deployment of bots.

Early deployment is already visible in autonomous vehicles and drones, with industrial and humanoid robots expected to follow.

The bank has mapped nearly 200 listed companies across the value chain.

It argues physical AI broadens the opportunity beyond semiconductors and hyperscalers to autos, component suppliers and automation specialists, while enablers - largely U.S. and China‑based - stand to capture much of the long‑term productivity upside.

China remains far ahead. Barclays notes it accounted for more than 85% of the roughly 15,000 humanoid robot installations last year, vs only 13% for the U.S., and 55% of global industrial robot installations in 2024.

UTILITIES AND MINERS DRAG, NESTLE DRIVES ZURICH TO NEW RECORD

European shares got off to a weaker start on Thursday, dragged down by a pullback in miners .SXPP after Wednesday’s sharp rebound. Utilities .SX6P also fell sharply following a disappointing update from Centrica CNA.L, with sentiment in the sector also hit after Italy approved a hike in corporate taxes on energy firms to help cut power bills, pushing heavyweight Enel ENEI.MI down as much as 4%.

In Zurich, the defensive SMI .SSMI rose for a fifth straight session, up 0.5% to a new record high, supported this time by better‑than‑expected sales growth at Nestle NESN.S, which has recently been hit by infant formula recalls across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

The region-wide STOXX 600 .STOXX fell 0.2% from Wednesday's record high. Ex-dividends in London pushed the FTSE 100 .FTSE down 0.3%.

Oct 23 (Reuters) - Auto parts maker Schaeffler India SCHE.NS reported a rise in its third-quarter profit on Wednesday, helped by strong demand for two-wheeler parts.

The company, a unit of Germany's Schaeffler AG SHA_p.DE, reported a 5.2% rise in standalone profit to 2.47 billion rupees ($29.4 million) for the July-September quarter.

Sales of two-wheelers were up 13% during the quarter, which analysts said likely offset weak sales of bearings to carmakers, whose volumes fell for the first time in two years.

Schaeffler India's revenue increased 12% to 20.73 billion rupees, with its mainstay bearings business growing 11.3% and the automotive technologies unit, its second-largest segment, rising about 12%.

The two businesses account for about three-fourths of overall revenue.

Smaller rivals SKF India SKFB.NS and Timken India TIMK.NS will report results in the coming weeks.

Shares of Schaeffler India closed flat ahead of the results.

BENGALURU, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Auto components maker Schaeffler India SCHE.NS reported an 8% rise in second-quarter profit on Friday, led by the demand for automotive products amid a nascent recovery in rural demand.

Standalone profit for the Indian unit of Germany's Schaeffler AG SHA_p.DE was 2.33 billion rupees ($28.00 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with 2.15 billion rupees a year earlier.

The profit growth marked the third straight quarter of single-digit increase.

The September rainfall made up for a deficit in the first half of the quarter, according to analysts, leading to a recovery in rural demand, particularly in sectors like two-wheelers.

Still, the poor monsoons earlier in the quarter had made commercial vehicles such as tractors less affordable for India's rural population, they said.

Schaeffler, which has the largest market share in the $2-billion Indian bearings industry, said its total revenue rose 5.5% to 18.54 billion rupees, led by a nearly 8% rise in revenue from the automotive technologies segment.

The segment accounts for over half the company's revenue.

Revenue at the industrial segment rose over 4%.

Prices of commodities such as aluminium and steel started easing in the quarter, leading to a drop in input costs from the previous three months. However, the costs increased from a year earlier when inflation was peaking.

Meanwhile, the revenue from the exports and others segment dropped over 28%.

Exports to markets such as in Africa have been hindered by high inflation and macroeconomic uncertainties, pushing the sales volumes down for equipment and auto parts makers.

Schaeffler's shares settled 0.7% higher after the results.

BENGALURU, April 18 (Reuters) - Vehicle components maker Schaeffler India Ltd SCHE.NS on Tuesday posted its smallest quarterly profit growth since June 2020, hit by a drop in demand and margin contraction.

Shares of the company, a unit of Schaeffler AG SHA_p.DE, fell as much as 2.7%.

Schaeffler India said its profit climbed 6% to 2.19 billion rupees ($26.7 million) in the first quarter ended March 31, while revenue from operations rose 8% to 16.94 billion rupees.

However, its core profit margin contracted to 18.58% from 19.64% a year earlier, as expenses rose over 9%.

Revenue in the company's industrial segment, constituting nearly 32% of total revenue, fell 8.5% in the quarter.

The company said growth in its automotive business helped mitigate "external headwinds," but did not specify the challenges.

Schaeffler India had reported a nearly 21% rise in its fourth quarter profit.
