After Trump-Musk feud, here's the next issue for Tesla stock
The public name-calling between Elon Musk and President Trump may be over (for now), but the debate around Tesla's (TSLA) stock is only set to heat up as investors digest the upcoming robotaxi launch and likely another weak quarterly report in late July or early August. As one would expect, the very public spat that erupted between Musk and Trump has sent shares of the EV maker on a wild ride. Tesla shares are off by 8% (and a lot more at the height of the sparring session) in June versus a 2% gain for the S&P 500 (^GSPC) as investors fear Trump will take aim at Musk's various lines of business. That's even if the president has cooled his rhetoric on Musk — the president isn't one to forget digs, ever. Musk being out of Trump's inner circle also runs counter to the bull thesis of Tesla's stock following the November election. Remember, Musk being the "first buddy" was supposed to lead to millions of Tesla's driverless cars on the roads and the extension of the Biden administration's EV tax credit, among other pie-in-the-sky predictions that swirled. Good luck with that now, Tesla bulls. But the dustup between the two powerbrokers brings to light a major problem for Tesla's stock as Musk tries to jump-start a sagging EV business by again sleeping inside a factory. There is a BIGLY disconnect between Tesla's valuation and what's happening underneath the surface. For example, Tesla's stock is up 12% since October 2022, but consensus EPS estimates for 2025, 2026, and 2027 have since plunged 77%, 70%, and 71%, respectively, according to new research from JPMorgan auto analyst Ryan Brinkman. You can study Tesla's EPS estimate trends for yourself on the Yahoo Finance platform. The stock is valued at a significant premium to the broader market despite EV tax credits likely going away. Tesla's forward price-to-earnings multiple stands at an eye-popping 166 times compared to 22 times for the S&P 500. Podcast: Why Qualcomm's CEO is pushing hard into the auto market No clue how one can reasonably justify that, given Tesla's weaker fundamentals and as it's heading into at least two years of heavy investment to support robot building and robotaxi operations. The EV tax credit has been a driver of Tesla's sales and profits. EV subsidies represent about 52% of Tesla's current profits, Brinkman estimates. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that removes the EV tax credit could wipe out these profits for Tesla. Brinkman expects financial estimates to drop in the near term as the impact of the EV subsidy removal becomes clearer. He pointed out that there has been no uplift to medium-term outlooks like sales or earnings due to Musk's Trump connection. Therefore, the post-election Tesla stock rally was "some combination of 'animal spirits', 'speculative fervor', and 'irrational exuberance' allowing for greater investor entertaining of very long-dated bull theses which in our estimation are unlikely to hold up medium-term against the weight of higher-for-longer interest rates and any eventual risk-off shift in the market eliciting sector and thematic rotation," Brinkman said. At some point, the stock has to correct for these elements to the story. Is this finally the moment? I would say this: An electric car eventually runs out of a charge, right? Before you go... Assessing the economy from the beach: By the time you read this, I will have touched down in France for this year's Cannes Lions advertising and media festival. It's an interesting, hot as hell, seriously crowded event that serves up a good pulse on all things advertising and media. But the past few years, it has morphed into more of a CEO and sports celeb scene — making it fertile ground to get clues on the economy, markets, and future investing trends. I have a ton of interviews on tap with market-movers and other fascinating folks, so be sure to stay tuned to Yahoo Finance Monday to Friday. The time is coming: Yahoo Finance's annual Invest conference in November will be here before you know it. New this year is an exclusive dinner the day before the conference for investors, followed by two investor education rooms the next day (along with tons of in-depth interviews).

Seventh Presale Phase: Bitcoin Solaris Nears Public Launch with 10,000 TPS and 21M Supply Cap
TALLINN, Estonia, June 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), a next-generation blockchain built for speed, accessibility, and long-term sustainability, has officially entered the seventh phase of its token presale, with the public launch now just weeks away. With over $4.5 million already raised and more than 11,500 participants onboard, momentum is surging. Final Opportunity Before Public Launch The presale is currently in Phase 7's last day , with BTC-S tokens priced at $7. The next presale phase will raise the price to $8, with a launch price set at $20. This structured pricing reflects strong demand and limited availability, given the project's fixed supply of 21 million tokens—identical in scarcity to the original Bitcoin. With fewer than eight weeks remaining before public launch, this is the last opportunity for early supporters to participate before BTC-S becomes tradable on major platforms. A Scarcity-Driven Token Built for Scalability Bitcoin Solaris takes the best parts of Bitcoin, the 21 million supply cap, and upgrades everything else. While Bitcoin transactions take about 10 minutes to finalize, Bitcoin Solaris pushes blocks every 15 seconds and confirms them in under 2 seconds. This performance comes from a hybrid structure that combines a Proof-of-Work Base Layer with a high-throughput Delegated Proof-of-Stake Solaris Layer. This dual-consensus model: Supports 10,000+ TPS Slashes energy usage by over 99.95% compared to Bitcoin Enables lightning-fast smart contract execution Rotates validators based on weighted contribution and uptime It's the kind of blockchain performance that fits perfectly in a bull market narrative—fast, efficient, and decentralized. A Smarter, Faster, Fairer Bitcoin Is Here—Step Into BTC-S Tokenomics That Ignite Long-Term Demand Beyond the tech, Bitcoin Solaris backs its vision with powerful tokenomics. The hard cap of 21 million BTC-S tokens mirrors Bitcoin's scarcity, but the utility goes far beyond holding. Here's how the tokenomics create upward pressure: Tokens are required for staking, validating, and interacting with the ecosystem Time-weighted validator rewards encourage long-term holding No inflationary print cycles—only mined or earned tokens The low total supply paired with strong use cases builds consistent demand BTC-S isn't just another asset to flip, it's a network to participate in. Referral-Driven Growth Fueling Viral Expansion Bitcoin Solaris's Double Rewards Referral Program is a major catalyst behind its exponential community growth. Here's how it works: Anyone who refers new investors earns 5% of their purchases in BTC-S tokens New users who join via a referral also get 5% bonus tokens All rewards are credited automatically via the user dashboard on This viral mechanic has powered over 11,500 users to join the presale in just weeks, turning BTC-S into one of the fastest-growing ecosystems of this cycle. The community is now spreading across Telegram and X , further accelerating its altcoin season momentum. Presale Is Almost Over: The Window Is Closing A detailed video review by 2Bit Crypto breaks down exactly why BTC-S is gaining this much traction—including its audit-approved smart contracts and high-performance infrastructure. The Engine of Wealth in Altcoin Season What sets Bitcoin Solaris apart in this altcoin season isn't just hype—it's architecture. By allowing anyone to participate in mining from a laptop , browser, or upcoming mobile platform, it reduces barriers for earning crypto at scale. Its validator reward structure balances decentralization and speed. Blocks are mined via Proof-of-Work, then delegated for verification in a DPoS layer with built-in slashing and validator rotation. This ensures fair payouts, lower risks, and a healthy ecosystem long-term. Add in audits from Cyberscope and Freshcoins , and you've got one of the most technically complete altcoins on the rise. Conclusion Altcoin season is known for turning obscure projects into household names. With Bitcoin Solaris, we're watching that transformation in real time. It blends Bitcoin's scarcity with elite performance, DeFi-ready tokenomics, and viral growth mechanics. As the presale comes to a close, BTC-S is looking more and more like the best coin of this cycle.

‘Why am I Doing This?' These Investors Are Locking in Stock Gains While They Can.
Wall Street is betting that the worst of tariff turmoil has come and gone. Some individual investors aren't so sure. Paul Bachman sold $30,000 worth of an index fund last month, after the S&P 500 recovered losses that followed President Trump's April tariff announcement. At one point last year, he kept about 60% of his portfolio in stocks, with the rest in cash and bonds. Now, he said, that number is just under 50%—and he plans to keep trimming shares and pocketing the cash as stocks climb.
