Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has already caused chaos in the used car market in the first few weeks of 2023. The company lowered prices on new vehicles, which caused a drop in used vehicle values, and the impact may show weakness in both auto companies and the economy overall. Travis Hoi
Elon Musk, Tesla Inc's chief executive, is likely to be called to testify on Friday in a jury trial over his 2018 tweet that he had "funding secured" to take the electric carmaker private, which shareholders allege cost them millions in trading losses.
A price war in electric vehicles started by market leader Tesla Inc has made it much more difficult for money-losing U.S. startups like Rivian Automotive Inc and Lucid Group Inc to grab share in an industry competing for shrinking consumer wallets.
Top advertisers on Twitter slashed their spending after Elon Musk's takeover, according to estimates compiled for Reuters by research firm Pathmatics, in the latest shock to the company's dominant revenue source.
The co-founder and CEO of Ark Invest, Cathie Wood, is closely watched by investors who are interested in growth stocks. And while high-growth companies didn't exactly deliver fantastic results in 2022, that doesn't mean investors should ignore them.
It feels great to start off the new year on the right foot. This often comes in the form of New Year's resolutions. But there's another way to set yourself off on a prosperous path in 2023. And that's by investing in bargain stocks that have what it takes to grow your portfolio o
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) has reached a position few companies have achieved: It claims more than 3.7 billion monthly users across its platforms, taking it to near global saturation. While that's an admirable accomplishment, it can leave a company without obvious prospects fo

The last full week of January is already upon us, and it will pack a punch. Plenty of inflation data is on tap, with the manufacturing and services purchasing manager's indexes (PMI) sure to capture investors' attention amidst the slew of other economic indicators.

shares have shed 62% of their value with plenty of bearish developments piling up the pressure on this once golden stock.
If the depressed price is not enough to entice picking up some shares at current levels, then Singapore banking giant
DBS has several reasons why investors should load up.
For one, DBS analyst Rachel Miu highlights the company’s “strong management team with long-term vision and innovation.” Cutting-edge solutions like the new 4680 battery technology and full self-driving abilities are “propelling the company to ride on the next advanced technology cycle, where smart mobility will be the norm.” Furthermore, getting rid of additional costs and offering an improved level of customer support to its vehicle owners, the company’s “innovative” direct sales model has turned out to be a success.
Secondly, there’s a vital “growth catalyst” from its overseas markets which account for around 70% of total shipment volume. Annual capacity in China has been doubled to roughly 1 million units while the Berlin plant’s capacity has also almost doubled to 1,900 vehicles per week. The company targets global capacity of 20 million
EVs a year by 2030. “The market diversifications also help to reduce distribution cost,” notes Miu, “as supplies are closer to the respective markets.”
Lastly, Miu applauds the EV maker’s “sterling performance.” Between FY12 and FY19, the company notched combined losses of $6.39 billion, but by 2020 it turned this performance around and generated combined net earnings of $6.21 billion from FY20-21.
Looking ahead, the company stands to further benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act that will potentially give a boost to its profit margins, while it is also presently “expanding” its vehicle and battery production capacity.
All told, then, Miu considers TSLA shares a Buy while her $180 price target highlights the potential for one-year returns of 43%. (To watch Miu’s track record,
