jetcityimage/iStock Editorial via Getty Images 2026 is really shaping up to be a difficult year for shareholders of electric vehicle giant Tesla, Inc. ( TSLA ). On April 2nd of this year, the stock dropped 5.4%. This came after management announced deliveries for the first quarter of the 2026 fiscal year that fell short of analysts’ expectations. But this is just the start of the troubles that the company is facing. Since I last reaffirmed it as a Strong Sell back in February of this year, the stock has fallen 12%. The S&P 500 ( SP500 ), meanwhile, is down just 4.8% over that window of time. And year to date, shares are down 19.8%. This is, quite honestly, abysmal. What makes matters worse is that this is already coming off of a difficult 2025. Last year, shares were up just 11.4%. But the S&P 500 rose 17.9%. Those who are bullish about the company point to different opportunities, most recently the robotics revolution. As I detailed in my previous article about the company, that is unlikely to save it. The fact of the matter is that the firm still relies heavily on electric vehicles, and that is unlikely to change. Even under rather rosy assumptions, I don't see a scenario where the business is anything other than absurdly overvalued. Add on top of this increasing competitive pressures that have admittedly eased up in recent months as other car companies cut back on their own electric vehicle programs, weak consumer confidence, and the absence now of the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit that expired in September of last year, and I don't see anywhere but down for the stock from this point on. It is always possible that my opinion on the matter could change as new data comes in. And it just so happens that, after the market closes on April 22nd , management will be announcing financial results for the first quarter of the company's 2026 fiscal year. Overall financial performance is forecasted to improve. But I don't think it will improve enough to justify anything...

Amazon.com Inc. is considering selling its chips to other companies, Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy said Thursday, adding that the cloud-computing giant’s in-house silicon unit is on pace to bring in more than $20 billion over the course of a year. The disclosure offers a rare glimpse into the scale of Amazon’s in-house chip operation, which produces general-purpose computing and AI accelerators, as well as chips that make the company’s servers run more efficiently. Today, Amazon rents that hardware to customers of Amazon Web Services, the cloud-computing unit. But demand for processors capable of building artificial intelligence models has strained supply and sent companies looking for alternatives to Nvidia Corp.’s market-leading graphics processing units. “There’s so much demand for our chips that it’s quite possible we’ll sell racks of them to third parties in the future,” Jassy said in his annual letter to shareholders. The Amazon chief, who took the reins almost five years ago, said the chip business would have a $50 billion annual run rate if it were an independent business selling semiconductors to AWS customers and other third parties. Jassy also touted Amazon’s $4 billion effort to bring speedy delivery to shoppers in rural America .

US vice-president said bloc tried to ‘destroy’ country’s economy, despite it being a net recipient of EU funds During his visit to Budapest, where he heaped praise on the Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orbán, days before the country’s decisive election, JD Vance claimed the EU was responsible for “one of the worst examples of election interference” he had ever seen. Standing alongside Orbán on Tuesday, the US vice-president said : “The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy-independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers. And they’ve done it all because they hate this guy.” Continue reading...
