Tesla Inc: Guggenheim Maintains 'Sell', $175 Target Ahead of Earnings
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) (About (STA Research): Is a Canadian investment research company specializing in advanced stock research and analysis. Our research team comprises of Financial Professionals). Analyst Update Guggenheim Securities has reiterated its 'Sell' rating on Tesla, Inc. and maintained a 12-month price target of $175.00 ahead of the company's upcoming earnings release. The bearish stance reflects concerns over margin pressure, demand uncertainty, and intensifying global EV competition, particularly from Chinese automakers. Guggenheim analysts have previously flagged issues related to Tesla's price cuts across key markets like the U.S., China, and Europe, which may weigh on profitability in the near term. Additionally, investors remains skeptical about Tesla's AI and Full Self-Driving (FSD) monetization timeline and sees limited upside in the core auto business without significant breakthroughs. Maintaining the 'Sell' rating before earnings also signals that Guggenheim anticipates underwhelming quarterly performance or cautious forward guidance from Tesla's management, especially in light of macroeconomic headwinds, slowing global EV sales, and the lack of major new vehicle launches in the current pipeline. Consensus Outlook Tesla currently holds a 'Hold' consensus rating from Wall Street analysts, reflecting a balanced but cautious sentiment. While some analysts remain bullish on Tesla's long-term technological and operational potential, others cite concerns around near-term valuation, profit margins, and competitive pressures. This mixed view is further evidenced by the average 12-month price target of approximately $300, which is below the current trading price—a signal that, in the eyes of analysts, Tesla may be overvalued at current levels.

Trump administration cancelled a US$4.9B loan guarantee for a line to deliver green power
TOPEKA, Kan. — The Trump administration on Wednesday cancelled a US$4.9 billion federal loan guarantee for a new high-voltage transmission line for delivering solar and wind-generated electricity from the Midwest to the eastern U.S. The U.S. Department of Energy declared that it is 'not critical for the federal government to have a role' in the first phase of Chicago-based Invenergy's planned Grain Belt Express. The department also questioned whether the US$11 billion project could meet the financial conditions required for a loan guarantee. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly derided wind and solar energy as 'unreliable' and opposed efforts to combat climate change by moving away from fossil fuels. The Department of Energy also said Wednesday that the conditional commitment to Invenergy in November was among billions of dollars' worth of commitments 'rushed out the doors' by former President Joe Biden's administration after Biden lost the election. 'To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its conditional commitment,' the agency said in a statement. It wasn't immediately clear how much the department's action would delay or stop the start of construction, which was set to begin next year. The company's representatives didn't immediately respond to emails Wednesday seeking comment The company has said its project would create 4,000 jobs and new efficiencies in delivering power, and that it would save consumers US$52 billion over 15 years. The line would deliver electricity from Kansas across Missouri and Illinois and into Indiana, connecting there to the power grid for the eastern U.S. It could deliver up to 5,000 megawatts of electricity. 'When electricity demand and consumer power bills are soaring, it's hard to imagine a more backward move,' said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a nonpartisan, Washington-based group supporting renewable energy. Keefe called the Grain Belt Express 'one of the country's most important energy projects' and suggested Trump cancelled the loan guarantee 'just because it will bring cleaner energy to more people.' But two prominent Missouri Republicans, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley and state Attorney General Andrew Bailey, are vocal critics of the project, describing it as a threat to farmland and land owners' property rights. Bailey called the project a 'scam' and a 'boondoggle.' Hawley said on July 10 that he had secured a pledge from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright to cancel the loan guarantee in a conversation with him and Trump. Critics like Hawley object to the company's ability to use lawsuits against individual land owners along the line's route to compel them to sell their property, which Hawley called 'an elitist land grab.' Online court records show that the company filed dozens of such lawsuits in Missouri circuit courts in recent years, and the Missouri Farm Bureau's president posted on the social platform X Wednesday that the project threatened to 'sacrifice rural America in the name of progress.' Democrats on the U.S. Senate's energy committee suggested on X that Trump, Wright and Hawley 'just killed' the project, but Invenergy announced in May that it had awarded US$1.7 billion in contracts for work on the project. And Bailey suggested in a statement that the project could still go forward with private funding without the loan guarantee, saying, 'If Invenergy still intends to force this project on unwilling landowners, we will continue to fight every step of the way.' --- John Hanna, The Associated Press

SharpLink Just Bought 10,000 Ethereum and Sent Its Stock Soaring. Here's What Investors Need to Know.
Key Points SharpLink Gaming has transformed into an Ethereum treasury company with one primary purpose: Buy as much Ethereum as quickly as it can. SharpLink is now the largest corporate holder of Ethereum in the world, with plans to hold 1% of all Ethereum in circulation. While SharpLink stock is still up 370% for the year, some of the initial enthusiasm appears to be cooling as new competitors appear. 10 stocks we like better than Ethereum › On July 11, SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET) purchased 10,000 Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) from the Ethereum Foundation, marking the largest-ever direct Ethereum purchase by a publicly traded company. At today's prices, that Ethereum is now worth an estimated $36 million. But it's not just the size of the deal that has investors abuzz. It's also the fact that SharpLink has gone all-in on its new Ethereum buying strategy, even going so far as to add Joe Lubin, one of the co-founders of Ethereum, as its chairman. Perhaps not surprisingly, the price of SharpLink stock is now up 370% for the year. Here's what you need to know. SharpLink goes all-in on Ethereum In the span of just two months, SharpLink Gaming has turned its business model upside down and inside out. Until May 2025, the company was an affiliate marketer for sportsbooks and online casino operators. Hence the ticker symbol featuring the word "bet." But, at the very end of May, the company announced that it would raise as much as $1 billion from investors in order to purchase Ethereum. The average price for the Ethereum purchased from the Ethereum Foundation was just $2,572. So, with the current price now $3,600, the company has already made a huge profit on this purchase. The company immediately went back into the market, and has been steadily buying more Ethereum throughout July. In fact, it just announced that it will now buy $6 billion worth of Ethereum, a mammoth increase from the $1 billion originally proposed. The ultimate goal is to build its treasury to 1 million. Currently, the company holds over 280,000 tokens in its treasury, easily making it the largest corporate holder of Ethereum in the world. It even holds more Ethereum than the Ethereum Foundation. If it manages to boost its holdings to 1 million Ethereum as planned, then it would control just under 1% of all Ethereum in circulation. What investors need to know All of this buying is part of a broader strategy designed to transform SharpLink Gaming into a powerful Ethereum treasury company. Over time, the company will shed its betting and casino marketing operations, and focus instead on buying Ethereum and supporting the Ethereum ecosystem. This is the same strategy originally developed for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), now doing business as Strategy. Over a five-year period, Strategy has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world. Its stock price has been absolutely on fire as a result. Over the past five years, the stock price of Strategy is up a head-spinning 3,715%. So you can see what's going on here. The goal of SharpLink is to become "the Strategy of Ethereum." There are several publicly traded companies vying for this title, but it now looks like SharpLink Gaming has the inside track. Not only does it own more Ethereum than anyone else, it also has Ethereum rock star Joe Lubin as chairman. Is SharpLink a buy? Based on the above, the obvious conclusion would appear to be that SharpLink Gaming is a strong buy. As soon as the company purchased the 10,000 tokens, for example, its stock price immediately spiked by 50%. For the year, the company's stock is up 370%. What's not to like? Unfortunately, there's something about SharpLink that the market doesn't like. The company's stock is actually down more than 50% since the end of May, when it first embarked on its Ethereum journey. If you take a quick look at the company's stock chart, you'll see what's going on here. Intense investor enthusiasm has been followed by intense investor disappointment. Right now, the market seems to be having a hard time valuing SharpLink. There are several problems here. The first and most glaring one is that SharpLink is a money-losing operation. When the company last reported earnings, revenue was down 24% year over year. And net profit was down 110%. And its stock price had been going nowhere fast for months. So, in some ways, this new push into Ethereum feels like a desperation move. The second problem is that there are other companies also racing to become "the Strategy of Ethereum." The hot name that everyone is talking about right now is Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSEMKT: BMNR), a Bitcoin mining company that is transforming into an Ethereum treasury company with the support of tech billionaire Peter Thiel. So I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger on SharpLink Gaming. I'd much rather buy Ethereum directly, and take my chances there. There are fewer variables to worry about, and less concern about the arrival of new deep-pocketed competitors in the Ethereum treasury company game. Should you invest $1,000 in Ethereum right now?
