一个划时代的符号，完成使命了。 五一假期期间，大洋彼岸的特斯拉加州弗里蒙特工厂，特斯拉真正意义上的 最后一台特斯拉Model X正式下线 。 至此，这款量产长达11年的特斯拉首款豪华电动 SUV，正式完成了它的历史使命，同时也意味着，Model S也自此退出历史舞台。 或许为了纪念这一时刻，特斯拉员工 Steve Pennewell 在社交平台附图发文感慨：向最后一台 Model X 告别，这正是我近 10 年前开始工作的那条生产线，真是时光飞逝。 根据配图能看到，最后一辆Model X 在进入喷涂车间前，裸露的原厂金属车身上，签上了密密麻麻工厂员工的名字，车尾还签上了醒目的 “ Last One ”纪念字样。 车虽然不产了，但产线不会停下——工人们接下来就是拆模具、重新布线、调试设备，不久之后，这条产线将用来生产另一种产品： 一台会走路、能搬运、会操作工具的人形机器人。 01 特斯拉豪华品牌缔造者 Steve Pennewell透露， 这辆最后下线的Model X，不会流入市场销售。后续将喷涂专属“石榴红”车漆，并加装专属的中控台铭牌，以典藏级Model X Plaid身份留存纪念。 马斯克也曾在邮件中表示，特斯拉预计会在 5月份某一天的“日落”时分 ，举办纪念活动，正式宣告 Model S / X 时代落幕。 这种带有诗意的隐喻，似乎在暗示，一个旧时代正在落幕，而另一个全新的技术，迎来了黎明。 我们把视线往前推，Model X\S不是独立的车型，它几乎代表着特斯拉早期对于“高端旗舰电动车”想象力的完美呈现。 大空间、Plaid 高性能、夸张的加速能力，Model X独创的猎鹰翼门更是成为特斯拉技术实力的经典符号，再加上早年特斯拉给人的科技感，Model X 曾经就是很多人眼里最能代表特斯拉品牌调性的车型之一。 尽管，不少人吐槽如今的特斯拉属于毛坯房，但不得不承认，Model S与Model X的意义，早已超越了“两款车型”本身，它们在一定程度上敲响了新能源汽车时代的大门， 推动了整个汽车产业的电动化转型 。 其实在Model S诞生之前，电车市场长期面临高昂的成本压力和技术瓶颈，充电基础设施的匮乏与有限的市场认知也限制着这一市场的发展。 2012年，Model S正式量产，作为 全球首款真正长续航的电动车 ，85kWh电池、EPA续航265英里（426公里），这...

Jay_Zynism/iStock via Getty Images Virtus Investment Partners overview Shares of Virtus Investment Partners ( VRTS ) have been a poor performer over the past year, losing about 10% of their value. The company has been weighed down by poor results as its business faces decline. While some of this decline is due to the secular push towards passive funds, some is due to Virtus’s own underperformance. This is a stock that screens cheap, but it is cheap for a reason. As such, I would not rush to buy the stock. Seeking Alpha In the company’s first quarter , Virtus earned $5.38, which missed expectations by $0.29 as revenue increased 1% to $200 million. Earnings were down from $7.16 in Q4, reflecting pressure from declining fee revenue as well as the fact that employment costs are seasonally the highest during Q1. During the quarter, the company completed its acquisition of 56% of Keystone. This led to a cash outlay of $200 million, and up to $170 million will be paid out over the next two years, depending on financial performance. Keystone added $2.3 billion of assets. Its purchase of Keystone gives the company a presence in private markets, and Keystone is focused on private credit, primarily secured fixed-rate lending. Obviously, private credit has come under increased scrutiny, and there will inevitably be questions about whether Virtus is entering the sector at a “top.” Importantly, Keystone focuses on lending against tangible assets, rather than intangibles (like software), where more of the excesses have built. While I do not see private credit disappearing as an asset class (given constrained bank lending) and institutional demand, I expect the flow environment to be more difficult over the next 12-18 months than the past few years. AUM has declined substantially In Q1, assets under management (“AUM”) declined by $10 billion sequentially to $149 billion. Now, given where are markets are today, it can be hard to remember, but equities actually fell in Q1 with the S&...

U.S. futures are surging on hopes that the U.S. and Iran are nearing an agreement to end the war. In Asia, South Korea's Kospi hit another record Wednesday and topped 7,000 for the first time, boosted by technology heavyweight Samsung, which joined the $1 trillion club. European equity markets are also firmly in the green amid a swathe of earnings, including Novo Nordisk, which hiked its guidance after sales of its new Wegovy pill came in ahead of expectations. Here are three investment strategies we heard from guests in CNBC's Singapore and London studios on Wednesday to help navigate the noise. Banks AI boost Aoifinn Devitt, senior investment advisor at Moneta, said investors should explore trades adjacent to the AI hyperscalers, saying there is a play in financials. She said that major tech players need to issue debt and equity to fuel the AI boom, and this will prove a boon to banks. "We have rates potentially moving things, which will ultimately also translate, perhaps into a better mortgage lending segment, so it all translates well for financials, which is exactly where we can get that breadth in equity exposure that investors may need," she said. Devitt added there are companies in Asia and Europe "flying below the radar," saying there will be innovation in that space. "We do see that this long-term diversification on a global scale is key, but equally, that we should be wary of betting against the U.S. in scale within portfolios, particularly those portfolios that are U.S. centric at the moment," she added. Bond appeal Jeff Blazek, Co-CIO multi-asset strategies at Neuberger, said investors should be adding both bonds and equities to their portfolios, adding that the "yield side of the ledger is actually attractive." He added that bond traders "have mispriced future hikes that we don't expect to occur as the year progresses." "The good news is the volatility in front-end yields has settled down. In the last couple of weeks, we've seen central bankers say a b...

nonnie192 Travel stocks rallied in premarket trading Wednesday after oil prices tumbled on reports that the U.S. and Iran are nearing a landmark agreement, a one-page memorandum of understanding that would lay the groundwork for comprehensive nuclear talks between the two countries, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources familiar with the matter. The diplomatic breakthrough sent crude prices sharply lower. West Texas Intermediate fell 13.3% to $88.69 a barrel, while Brent crude dropped 11.6% to $97.10, a move amplified by separate reports that Iran's IRGC Navy has guaranteed safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, easing fears of a supply disruption in one of the world's most critical oil chokepoints. For travel stocks, cheaper oil means lower fuel costs and a more confident consumer, and markets wasted no time pricing that in. Cruise lines led the gains, with Royal Caribbean ( RCL ) up 7.6%, Carnival ( CCL ) up 7%, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings ( NCLH ) up 4.8%, while Viking Holdings ( VIK ) added 4.3%. Hotel operators also benefited broadly: InterContinental Hotels ( IHG ) rose 3%, Hyatt ( H ) gained 2.8%, Hilton ( HLT ) added 2.4%, and Marriott ( MAR ) climbed 2%. Online travel platforms joined the move, with Booking Holdings ( BKNG ) up 4% and Airbnb ( ABNB ) rising 1.5%.

ADP Employment Report Signals Biggest Job Additions In 15 Months In April With non-farm payrolls looming, we get another glimpse at the labor market today from the ADP Employment Report which shows the US economy added 109k jobs in April (a slight disappointment relative to +120k exp). That is the tenth straight month of job additions and strongest monthly addition since January 2025... Source: Bloomberg Under the hood, Goods-producing jobs rose 15,000 while Service-providing jobs rose 94,000. "Small and large employers are hiring, but we're seeing softness in the middle," said Dr. Nela Richardson Chief Economist, ADP. "Large companies have resources to deploy, and small ones are the most nimble, both important advantages in a complex labor environment." Health care's continued strength, along with a rebound in trade, transportation, and utilities, fueled last month's acceleration in hiring. Pay growth for job-stayers slowed slightly to 4.4 percent, but for job-changers, year-over-year pay gains were steady at 6.6 percent. Is the economy transforming from 'no hire, no fire' to 'higher hire, still no fire' gains (see JOLTS' record hiring). Tyler Durden Wed, 05/06/2026 - 08:23
