(Bloomberg) -- At 23, Shunji Sugaya had what he calls a “life-changing episode.”It was March 2000, and Sugaya had just won an award at a business contest where Masayoshi Son, the founder of what was then called SoftBank Corp., was a judge. He sent Son an email to thank him, the two met up, and before long SoftBank offered to buy Sugaya’s idea for $2.8 million or for Sugaya to join the company and receive stock options.Sugaya turned it down.“It gave me a big boost in confidence as I was a student -- I was so happy I could dance,” he said in a video interview. “We were very grateful for the offer but we politely declined and decided to do it ourselves.”So Sugaya started his own company, Optim Corp., which now provides business-management platforms using artificial-intelligence and internet-of-things technologies.

The administration has launched a number of salvos, including a ban on the sale of any silicon made with U.S. know-how, which is hurting the Chinese company’s aspirations to grow in cutting-edge fields.“Even if they hire some other company to build the...

(Bloomberg) -- It has some competition, but no stock on the auto sector is a better reflection of the equity market’s exuberance than Nikola Corp.The aspiring battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell truck maker debuted on the Nasdaq last week following a reverse merger and its stock quickly took off, doubling on Monday and rising another 28% shortly after Tuesday’s open. Trading was halted twice within the first 40 minutes due to volatility, with the shares plunging as much as 22%. They were back up 9% as of 11 a.m. in New York.The $34 billion market capitalization Nikola had at the intraday peak belies the company’s fundamentals.

It doesn’t expect to be fully utilizing an Arizona assembly plant that it hasn’t built yet until 2028.And yet Ford Motor Co., which is expected to report about $115 billion of...
