Ford hikes EV investment to $5 billion in push for budget models
Article content Despite Ford's embrace of smaller, more affordable EVs, the automaker is still moving forward with plans for a successor to the F-150 Lightning full-size pickup. The automaker has repeatedly delayed its next generation electric F-Series truck and has now pushed its launch to mid-2028, from late 2027, according to a person familiar with the change. Article content Ford said in a statement that it has communicated the timing adjustment to its suppliers and employees in June. Article content Ford plans to build it at a new $5.6 billion manufacturing compound in Stanton, Tennessee, in 2028. The factory, Ford's first new assembly plant in a half century, is capable of building more than 300,000 trucks a year, far more than the market is now demanding. It was part of Farley's now-jettisoned $50 billion plan to churn out 2 million EVs a year by 2026 and overtake Tesla as the market leader in battery powered models. Article content Article content It remains unclear how Ford will fully utilize its new Tennessee factory, though Farley has suggested the plant could also produce extended-range electric vehicles, a new type of plug-in hybrid. Article content Ford last year lost $5.1 billion in its EV unit and has said the deficit could widen this year as it brings its new line of battery powered models to life. But Farley has said any new EV at Ford must be both affordable and profitable within its first year on the market. Mainstream consumers have been turned off by the high price of electric vehicles. Article content 'We have all lived through far too many 'good college tries' by Detroit automakers to make affordable vehicles that ends up with idled plants, layoffs and uncertainty,' Farley said in a statement. Article content Ford's big bet on battery-powered models runs up against President Donald Trump's crusade against what he calls an 'EV mandate.' Trump's $3.4 trillion fiscal package is eliminating a $7,500 consumer tax credit on EV purchases and nearly derailed manufacturing subsidies that were critical to Ford's business case for its Michigan battery plant. Article content The automaker lobbied furiously to protect those manufacturing credits, including an appeal by Executive Chair Bill Ford, great-grandson of founder Henry Ford.

Momentum Alert: META and TSLA Shares About to Surge?
During my usual Sunday evening market scan, two names jumped off the screen as standout opportunities for the week ahead: Meta Platforms ( META ) and Tesla ( TSLA ). These are two of the largest, most closely watched names in the market, and right now they both appear to be on the verge of significant technical breakouts. Over the past few months, their paths have diverged. Tesla has been grinding through a year marked by choppy, and volatile price action, while Meta has marched steadily higher, leading the broad market. Despite these differences, both are now aligned in that they both have strong bullish catalysts, and their charts are flashing high-probability breakout signals. Below, I'll break down what's driving each stock, highlight the most relevant quantitative metrics, and walk you through the technical setups that could set the stage for the next big move. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Tesla Stock on the Verge of a Comeback Tesla has spent much of the past year navigating a storm of mixed investor sentiment, partly tied to shifting perceptions of its core EV business, partly to Elon Musk's sometimes polarizing public presence, and partly to uncertainty over whether the company's future lies more in cars or in ambitious side bets like humanoid robots. The result has been choppy, often volatile price action, with the stock barely gaining over the past twelve months even as the broader market has marched higher. That said, Tesla is no stranger to long consolidation phases followed by explosive bull runs. Historically, the stock's biggest rallies have come after extended periods of sideways action, and the current setup is starting to look like one of those moments. On Monday morning, shares broke decisively above a three-month consolidation range, a move that, if sustained, could mark the start of a significant bull run. Fundamentally, two potential game-changers are on the horizon: the rollout of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot and the much-anticipated self-driving taxi business. Either could open entirely new revenue streams and spark renewed enthusiasm from investors, especially if early deployments impress. It's worth noting that Tesla still carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating, reflecting near-term earnings estimate trends. However, technical action suggests the market's tone toward the stock may be shifting. As long as shares hold above the breakout level around $338, the path of least resistance appears higher, with momentum traders likely to pile in. Image Source: TradingView Shares of Meta Approach Another Record High Meta Platforms has enjoyed a remarkably smooth ride over the past year, steadily attracting buyers as both sales and profits continue to grow at an impressive pace. The company's aggressive push into artificial intelligence, integrating AI across its ad platform and more recently ramping up hiring for its in-house AI lab, has reinforced investor confidence in its ability to stay ahead of the curve in digital advertising and beyond. The stock's performance since the 2022 lows has been nothing short of extraordinary, with shares surging more than 700%. Yet despite this meteoric rise, Meta still trades at a relatively reasonable 27x forward earnings, a reflection of its exceptional earnings growth and operational execution under CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Looking ahead, several catalysts could propel the stock further: continued AI breakthroughs, effective monetization of its large language model (LLM) platform, and sustained strength in the core advertising business. On the technical side, META is currently consolidating after its recent run, with resistance at $774 marking a potential breakout point. A decisive close above that level would signal the start a fresh leg higher. On the downside, failure to hold above $760 could trigger a short-term pause, suggesting investors might look for more favorable entry points elsewhere before the next rally attempt. Image Source: TradingView Should Investors Buy Shares in META and TSLA? Both Meta and Tesla sit at compelling technical inflection points, each backed by powerful long-term growth narratives. For Tesla, the story hinges on whether its breakout above $338 can hold, potentially setting the stage for a momentum-fueled run driven by high-profile product launches in robotics and autonomous driving. For Meta, the question is whether it can clear the $774 resistance level and extend its already dominant trend, fueled by AI integration and continued strength in its advertising business. From a momentum-trading perspective, the setups are clear: breakouts above these key levels could offer high-probability opportunities for traders willing to manage risk closely. The coming days will be telling, especially as broader market sentiment remains supportive and capital continues to flow into large-cap leaders. For now, both stocks deserve a spot on the watchlist, with alerts set for those critical breakout prices. Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double" Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months. Of those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian highlights the one stock set to climb highest. This top pick is a little-known satellite-based communications firm. Space is projected to become a trillion dollar industry, and this company's customer base is growing fast. Analysts have forecasted a major revenue breakout in 2025. Of course, all our elite picks aren't winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Hims & Hers Health, which shot up +209%.

Musk's Tesla applies for license to supply electricity to British homes
Elon Musk's Tesla has applied to the British energy regulator for a license to supply electricity to households in the United Kingdom. If approved, it would enable Tesla to compete with a host of big energy firms that currently supply the vital utility to properties across England, Wales and Scotland. The application to UK energy regulator Ofgem was lodged at the end of last month by Tesla Energy Ventures Limited, which is based in Manchester. The official document was signed off by Andrew Payne, who is cited as the company's director. His LinkedIn page shows him as listed as head of energy for the EMEA region of Tesla. As well as being the world's most recognized maker of electric cars, Tesla has a business supplying battery storage and solar energy. Last year, the firm saw its revenue from the sale of solar cells, batteries and other energy products nearly double, rising $1.5 billion or 93% compared to a year earlier. Musk, one of the world's richest people, was last week awarded a $29 billion pay package from the firm. Tesla, of which he is the CEO, already supplies electricity to residential properties in Texas. The application comes at a time when the firm's main business – car sales – is on the decline. Tesla's (TSLA) auto revenue fell 16% from April to June and overall revenue was down 12%, according to its earnings report. Sales of its best-selling Model Y and Model 3 fell 12% compared with a year ago, while sales of its more expensive models, including the Cybertruck, plunged 52%. Sales of new Teslas fell by 60% in July in the UK compared to a year ago, according to the Society of Motor Manufactures and Traders (SMMT). Meanwhile, yearly sales dropped by 22% across Europe, according to June figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. The significant drop in sales, not only in the US but around the world, are widely perceived to have been a backlash to Musk's political activities, as well as the growing competition from other electric vehicle makers, most notably from China. Back in 2023 Tesla advertised on LinkedIn for a head of operations to run Tesla Electric in the UK. The listing said that Tesla was venturing into electricity to 'accelerate the transition to sustainable energy.' It said: 'We believe strongly that simplifying and improving the customer experience around retail electricity and virtual power plants is necessary to drive significant adoption amongst consumers. Delivering a seamless, simple customer experience will ensure that small scale residential flexibility can be fully utilized to support the transition of the entire electricity grid to 100% renewables.' CNN has approached Tesla for comment. Lianne Kolirin, CNN. Chris Isidore contributed to this report.
