The company's EVs are profitable and command a formidable market presence with a value "kicker" potentially coming from robotaxis and unsupervised full-self driving; its rivals are not in the same position. There's no question that the electric vehicle (EV) market has become more competitive for Tesla (TSLA 0.99%). At the same time, the company's long-term competitive position is strengthening, and it's well positioned to win the EV market. Tesla is already winning First, much has been made of Tesla's declining EV deliveries in 2025, and the reality is that they fell by 8.6% compared to 2024. But here's the thing. Tesla's deliveries were negatively affected by the Model Y refresh (the best-selling EV in the U.S., with the Model S second). Expand NASDAQ : TSLA Tesla Today's Change ( -0.99 %) $ -4.32 Current Price $ 430.88 Key Data Points Market Cap $1.4T Day's Range $ 430.69 - $ 437.48 52wk Range $ 214.25 - $ 498.83 Volume 1.1M Avg Vol 75M Gross Margin 17.01 % The Kelley Blue Book Electric Vehicle Sales report's estimates of U.S. EV sales show a decline in the Model Y's market share in the back half of 2024 and the start of 2025, but a quick rebound in the second quarter when the new Model Y became available. In addition, note the massive increase in Tesla's and the Model Y's market share in the fourth quarter after the expiry of EV Federal tax credits. Simply put, Tesla was relatively less impacted than its low-cost EV rivals. An improving competitive landscape Speaking of low-cost rivals, there's a difference between a low-cost EV model and one that's effectively being subsidized to gain EV market share. The latter is not sustainable. A good example comes from Ford Motor Company (F +3.65%), whose Model e segment lost $3.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025 and took a $19.5 billion charge as it refocused its EV operations. In contrast, Tesla remains profitable and has the scale to grow production, and in doing so, reduce its cost per car. The third reason come...
Several Federal Reserve officials (including Chair Jerome Powell) have recently commented on the stock market's elevated valuation.

Several Federal Reserve officials (including Chair Jerome Powell) have recently commented on the stock market's elevated valuation. The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.41%) has added 1.5% year to date, and the benchmark index currently sits within half a percentage point of its all-time high. However, several Federal Reserve officials (including Chair Jerome Powell) have warned investors that stock prices are elevated by historical standards. Wall Street anticipates double-digit gains in the S&P 500 in the remaining months of 2026, but a stock market drawdown (or even a crash) is well within the realm of possibility. Here's what investors should know. Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned investors that stocks are expensive While Federal Reserve officials monitor the stock market, their monetary policy decisions do not target specific prices for any financial asset. Nevertheless, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell warned in September, "By many measures... equity prices are fairly highly valued." Other policymakers have expressed similar concerns. Minutes from the FOMC meeting in October stated, "Some participants commented on stretched asset valuations in financial markets, with several of these participants highlighting the possibility of a disorderly fall in equity prices." Additionally, the latest version of the Federal Reserve's semiannual financial stability report was published in November. It warned that the S&P 500's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was "close to the upper end of its historical range." The S&P 500 sounds an alarm seen just twice in the last 40 years Today, the S&P 500 has a forward P/E ratio of 22.1, a premium to the 10-year average of 18.8, according to FactSet Research. Comparatively, the index had a forward P/E ratio of 22.5 when Powell remarked about equity prices being "fairly highly valued" in September. Apart from the current bull market, the S&P 500 has only sustained a forward P/E multiple above 22 during two periods in the last four decades: the dot-com b...

Hong Kong ’s Exchange Fund reported a record investment gain of HK$331 billion ($42.4 billion) in 2025, helped by rising global markets. The fund delivered an investment gain of 8%, according to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority . Hong Kong stock holdings and overseas equities posted a HK$108 billion increase. It earned HK$142 billion from bonds, HK$38 billion from foreign exchange and HK$42.4 billion on other investments. HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue said there’s no guarantee the performance will be sustained this year. “Looking ahead to 2026, factors such as global economic conditions, monetary policies of major central banks, developments in artificial intelligence, and geopolitical conflicts could affect the performance of financial markets,” he said. The HK$4.1 trillion fund serves as the last line of defense for the regime that pegs the local currency to the US dollar. In recent years, the fund has been diversifying away from US dollar-denominated assets and reduced the duration of Treasury holdings to guard against increased volatility. The US dollar this week slid to the lowest level in almost four years against a basket of major currencies as investors recalibrated their US holdings amid rising geopolitical risks. A drop in the US currency will also weaken the Hong Kong dollar, impacting the price of imports as well as the active cross-border consumption with neighboring China.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) shares closed at $430.90, down $4.30 or 0.99%, as investors weighed ahead of the Q4 earning report. Tesla is set to report its fourth-quarter earnings, and the results are expected to be a pivotal moment for the Tesla stock as investors weigh near-term financial pressure against the company’s long-term technology vision. While vehicle deliveries have already been disclosed, the earnings report will dig deeper into profitability, regional demand trends, and whether Tesla’s AI-led narrative is gaining tangible traction. Revenue Outlook: Price Cuts Take Their Toll At the top line, revenue is expected to come in at around $24.8 billion, reflecting a slight year-over-year contraction. The decline is largely attributed to aggressive price reductions rolled out across major markets during 2025. These cuts helped Tesla defend volumes in a cooling EV market but diluted average selling prices, making revenue growth harder to achieve despite solid delivery numbers. EPS Expectations: A Narrow Margin for Error Wall Street is forecasting non-GAAP EPS between $0.44 and $0.45, setting up a tight range that leaves little room for disappointment. Given Tesla’s history of volatile post-earnings moves, even a modest miss or a slim beat, could trigger a sharp reaction. Options markets are already signaling elevated uncertainty, underscoring how finely balanced expectations are heading into the report. Margins in Focus: Signs of Stabilization or Further Pain Perhaps the most closely watched metric will be automotive gross margin, excluding regulatory credits, expected at roughly 14.4%. This level reflects sustained pressure from price competition and rising input costs. Investors will be looking for commentary on whether margins have reached a cyclical low and how quickly cost efficiencies, manufacturing scale, or software-driven revenue could help margins recover in 2026. Deliveries and Demand: Europe and China Under Pressure Tesla delivered 418,227 vehicles in the fo...

Get Into Cryptocurrency Trading Today AMZN Chart | TradingView AMZN Momentum Shift: The Signals Smart Money Is Watching Something seismic is afoot with Amazon (AMZN), a stock that's been at the epicenter of tech market transformations for years. Today, the chart whispers possibilities that have traders on the edge of their seats. Risk-on mode is in full swing, with both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 on an upward trajectory. But it’s Amazon’s performance—a robust 2.63% climb—that steals the show. As macroeconomic forces like a weakening dollar and bond yield increases loom, the nuanced dance of these elements sets the stage for Amazon’s next act. But here's where it gets intriguing... The market is in a fervor, and smart investors are using AI-powered analysis tools to spot these patterns early. A weak dollar fuels Amazon’s growth potential, making its products more competitive globally. Yet rising bond yields threaten to pressure valuations in the growth sector. The technical setup is a thriller in itself: AMZN is breaking past resistance levels, powered by a bullish candlestick pattern and a significant volume of 38.02M, indicating genuine interest. Now's the time to examine this playbook closely as market conditions prime AMZN for a crucial move. The Bullish Setup Amazon's current setup is nothing short of compelling. In a market that’s riding the wave of a risk-on regime, AMZN’s recent bullish performance enhances its appeal. The surge past $244.88 sets a new short-term resistance, while the psychological barrier of $250 lurks just ahead. With the RSI at 60.50, there's ample room for upward movement without hitting overbought territory—a sweet spot for bulls eyeing this breakout. The MACD suggests a promising crossover, a beacon for those tuned into momentum shifts. This is the kind of alignment that InteractiveCrypto Pro’s AI is designed to detect, giving savvy traders an edge.

It's important to have a good sense of how much money you'll get. Generally speaking, people earn Social Security benefits in retirement by working long enough and paying taxes on their wages. But there's way to get Social Security even if you never worked. Social Security pays spousal benefits to older Americans, and you can qualify based on a current or former spouse's record. You may also want to file for Social Security spousal benefits if your spouse earned a lot more money than you, as your spousal benefit may be more generous than the benefit you get based on your own wage history. But it's important to have realistic expectations about how much income you'll get in spousal benefits. And because of one rule that's specific to spousal benefits, your monthly checks may end up being smaller than expected. You can't grow a spousal benefit When you're claiming Social Security based on your own earnings record, there's a big incentive to delay your claim past full retirement age. For each year you do, until you turn 70, your monthly benefits get an 8% boost. But while you can accrue delayed retirement credits in that situation, those credits don't apply to spousal benefits. Or, to put it another way, there's no sense in delaying a spousal benefit claim past full retirement age, because it won't result in any more monthly income for you. When you're claiming spousal benefits, the maximum you can get is 50% of your spouse's Social Security benefit at their full retirement age. And that assumes you wait until your own full retirement age to file. Filing early will reduce your spousal benefit the same way it would reduce a benefit claimed on your own earnings record. This all probably sounds confusing, so let's break it down. Let's assume your spouse is eligible for a $2,800 monthly Social Security benefit at their full retirement age. This means the maximum amount you can claim in spousal benefit form is $1,400 a month. You'll get that $1,400 a month if you wait until...

智通财经网 印尼股市突然遭遇“黑天鹅”。在指数编制公司MSCI对印尼股市投资可行性提出担忧、并警告所有印尼公司在MSCI新兴市场指数中的权重可能被降级至前沿市场地位后，印尼股市暴跌并触发交易暂停。截至发稿，印尼雅加达综合指数跌8.67%，创九个多月以来的最大单日跌幅，导致交易暂停30分钟。跌幅最大的股票包括市场普遍预期将在MSCI下月评估中纳入其指数的几家公司，例如PT Bumi Resources、PT Petrosea和PT Pantai Indah Kapuk Dua，这些股票均下跌约15%。 MSCI表示，将暂停对印尼的部分指数调整，直至该国监管机构解决市场对上市公司股权高度集中问题的担忧。 该机构在一份声明中表示，鉴于印尼市场持续存在“根本性的投资可行性问题”，且投资者对协调操纵股价的行为存在担忧，将立即暂停所有印尼公司在相关指数中的新增纳入，并冻结可流通股份数量的调整。若印尼在五月前未能在提升透明度方面取得充分进展，MSCI将重新评估该国市场的可及性等级——此举可能导致所有印尼公司在MSCI新兴市场指数中的权重被下调，甚至可能被降级至前沿市场类别。 印尼证交所表示，将与当地监管机构一起，继续与MSCI就数据透明度进行讨论以达成共识。该交易所补充称，它已采取步骤，通过在其交易所网站上公布自由流通量数据来提高透明度。 马来亚银行新加坡分行主经纪业务交易主管Tareck Horchani表示：“MSCI暂停印尼指数调整是一个警告，而非最终裁决。市场已经开始对负面结果的可能性进行定价，这解释了我们看到的印尼权重股所面临的压力。” 根据机构汇编的数据，由于MSCI即将调整其指数编制方法导致市场风险偏好降温，在截至1月23日的一周内，海外投资者净卖出了价值1.92亿美元的印尼股票，这是自去年10月以来的首次资金外流。而本周迄今为止，海外投资者仍是印尼股票的净卖家。 MSCI此项决定源于其早先提出的关于收紧印尼流通股定义——这是决定股票在基准指数中权重的关键因素——的提议。MSCI提议的新规将基于公开文件或新数据集中的较低数值来计算流通股。如果MSCI发现印尼公司实际可交易股票数量低于报告数据，被动投资者将被迫抛售现有持仓。据其预测，这将缩减15只印尼雅加达综合指数成分股的流通市值，导致资金流出。多家券商预计，若新规实施，外国被动基金流出规模将达约20亿美元。 MSC...

Key Points It recently announced new AI tools that should be a draw for clients. It's opening its largest-ever physical store to compete with other retailers. Cloud and e-commerce both still have massive opportunities as trends shift. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock trailed the S&P 500 last year despite robust growth. This could be an excellent opportunity for investors, but only if Amazon stock is likely to recover. Let's see what might happen when it reports fourth-quarter and full-year earnings on Feb. 5, and whether or not it make sense to buy the stock now. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Progress in AI The main thing that's going to be on investors' minds when hearing about the fourth quarter is artificial intelligence (AI). This is where the company's greatest opportunities lie right now, but the market hasn't been enthusiastic about its platform lately. Management continues to say that it has more features than the competition and that it's launching them more rapidly. It also has a backlog of $200 billion for Amazon Web Services (AWS), where clients can engage with AI development. Amazon has a multilayered platform that runs across three tiers: custom large-language models (LLM), the Bedrock program, and many plug-in tools for smaller companies. CEO Andy Jassy is always talking about what he sees as a massive opportunity, since 85% to 90% of information technology (IT) spend is still on the premises, but it's slowly shifting to the cloud. Investors will want to hear about new advances in the AI platform and healthy growth in AWS sales. The company recently unveiled a new line of AI agents that can handle many more actions without needing help from users, as well as new chips and new tools for its LLMs. The results, though, may not show up in the fourth-quarter report. Keeping the lead in e-commerce Amazon still has a huge...
