Tesla (TSLA) Gets $285 PT, Neutral — Goldman Flags Weaker U.S. EV Demand
In a research note, the analyst told investors that they are raising their US auto forecast to reflect more measured tariff levels than what had been proposed originally. This is despite that it still anticipates auto sales in the US to slow down in the second half after people bought early to avoid tariffs.
The firm anticipates US auto sales at 15.75M and 15.50M units in 2025 and 2026, respectively, whereas its prior forecast was 15.40M and 15.25M.
'However, we lower our expectation for EV (BEV) mix in the US to better reflect company-specific datapoints (in particular weaker sales at Tesla, which has accounted for roughly half of the US BEV market historically, but also more flexible EV targets and/or slower EV sales from Ford, GM, and Rivian).'

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq trade mixed as Wall Street weighs Google, Tesla earnings
US stocks traded mixed on Thursday, as hopes for a US-EU trade deal kept fresh records in sight and Wall Street assessed earnings from tech giants Alphabet (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA). The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) dropped 0.3%, paring earlier losses amid a post-earnings slide in IBM (IBM) shares, after the blue-chip index ended Wednesday just shy of its first record close this year. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) climbed 0.3% after reaching all-time closing highs. Alphabet beat Wall Street's second quarter earnings expectations and doubled down on its AI spending spree. The Google parent's shares rose alongside other AI-linked stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA), helping buoy the tech-focused gauges. Read more: Full earnings coverage in our live blog But fellow "Magnificent Seven" stalwart Tesla's stock sank after an earnings miss, a continued slump in European sales, and a warning from CEO Elon Musk that the EV maker faced "rough quarters" as President Trump's budget bill kills off tax credits. Trade deal hopes continued to run high after the US-Japan pact helped fuel more records for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite on Wednesday. The EU and US are closing in on an agreement that would impose a 15% tariff for most imports from Europe, instead of the 30% threatened, media reports said. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs That rate is emerging as a potential new baseline for the "reciprocal" tariffs set to kick in on Aug. 1, going by Trump's comments late Wednesday. Previously, the president had imposed a 10% baseline rate on countries as part of his sweeping April tariffs. Meanwhile, Trump and the White House have taken their battle over interest rates with Fed Chair Jerome Powell to a new level. In an unusual presidential move, the president is slated to visit the Federal Reserve's headquarters at 4:00 p.m. ET today following weeks of mounting criticism over its $2.5 billion renovation. It sounds like Trump now has a new minimum tariff rate: 15% Yahoo Finance's Ben Werschkul reports: Read more here. Stock watch: TKO Group + Netflix on Hulk Hogan news Reports have surfaced this afternoon that iconic wrestler Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71. TMZ and The NY Post both reported the news. I would keep a close eye on TKO Group Holdings (TKO) on this one. The company is the holding company for WWE and UFC. Hogan, of course, is the most recognizable wrestler ever, bar none. I am curious about how the company honors Hogan in the months ahead, and the details could be shared on the company's Aug. 6 earnings call. I would also keep an eye on Netflix (NFLX) as WWE is exclusively streamed on there now. I suspect the upcoming Monday Night Raw episode may get more eyeballs than norma; following this news. Intel to report Q2 earnings as Wall Street looks for signs of turnaround Intel (INTC) will report its second quarter earnings on Thursday as the company's new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, continues his attempt to turn around the ailing chip giant, Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley reports.

Wall Street bullish on Alphabet as Search growth stays steady amid AI disruption fears Wall Street analysts were bullish on Alphabet stock following the Google parent's earnings, as Search revenue continued to climb despite fears of AI displacing the dominant search engine. "Another stable qtr for Search results increases our confidence in the AI transition and should ease concerns on a potential revenue reset," Bank of America analyst Justin Post wrote in a note. Post raised his price outlook on Google shares to $217 from $210. Post and other analysts noted that AI Overviews helped drive 10% more Search queries for the types of searches that the AI is used for. The Overviews has 2 billion monthly users, and the Gemini app has hit 450 million monthly active users. RBC Capital analyst Brad Erickson raised his price target on Google shares to $220 from $200, saying, "We still believe that GOOGL's AI competitors along with its own AI search tools are driving traffic headwinds across the internet, and yet, it is still finding a way to distribute enough intentful volume to grow the business plenty fast." Still, Alphabet has fallen short of giving hard dollar figures for its AI business while focusing on how the technology is driving growth in its existing businesses. Notably, analysts didn't seem discouraged by Alphabet raising its capital expenditure guidance for the year to $85 billion from $75 billion, driven by spending in infrastructure such as data centers and server equipment to power AI. Erickson said the company's "AI investment decisions are being made with clear ROI signals in front of it." Fed gets new legal headache with lawsuit seeking to make FOMC rate meetings public The Federal Reserve got a new legal headache Thursday when a money manager sued Chair Jerome Powell and other central bank policymakers in a Washington, D.C., federal court, arguing it is violating a 1976 federal law by keeping its monetary policy meetings behind closed doors, Yahoo Finance's Jennifer Schonberger reports.

IBM stock slides after software sales disappoint International Business Machines stock (IBM) slid 6% ahead of the opening bell after second quarter sales in its core software segment were lower than expected and the company did not provide a forecast for the third quarter. IBM's software segment, which has traditionally been a bright spot, reported sales of $7.39 billion, missing analysts' average estimate of $7.41 billion, per Reuters. After a 30% run-up in the stock year to date, the company had little room to miss estimates. Still, IBM's adjusted earnings per share of $2.80 topped the Street's expectations, and its revenue of $16.98 billion for the quarter beat estimates of $16.59 billion.

Jobless claims hit lowest level in three months Amid a quiet week of economic data, investors were greeted with yet another sign that the US labor market isn't flashing glaring alarm signals. Data from the Department of Labor released Thursday morning showed 217,000 initial jobless claims were filed in the week ending July 19, down 4,000 from the week prior and the lowest number of weekly filings since the week of April 12. After surging in May, weekly filings have consistently declined throughout the start of the summer. Meanwhile, 1.955 million continuing claims were filed, up about 4,000 from the week prior and hovering near the highest level seen since November 2021. Economists see an increase in continuing claims as a sign that those out of work are taking longer to find new jobs. Tesla stock slides as Musk warns of a 'few rough quarters' Tesla's (TSLA) stock is sinking in premarket as a warning from CEO Elon Musk rings in investors' ears.

The automaker faces the end of EV incentives brought in by President Trump, alongside potential delays to its autonomous vehicle rollout. 'We probably could have a few rough quarters,' Musk said, per Bloomberg. Meanwhile, a report Thursday showed Tesla's sales in Europe fell in June for the sixth straight month, falling 23%. Tesla's finance chief flagged other challenges on a conference call with analysts. Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here.

STMicro stock falls by most in a year after surprise loss STMicroelectronics (STM) delivered a double whammy in its earnings on Thursday: A surprise Q2 loss from restructuring charges and a disappointing outlook for Q3.

Trending tickers: Chipotle Mexican Grill, T-mobile and Wolfspeed Here are some top stocks trending on Yahoo Finance in premarket trading: Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) stock fell 10% before the bell on Thursday after reporting another quarter of negative sales growth. The fast-casual restaurant chain posted results on Wednesday as it navigates an uncertain consumer environment and as its new leadership deals with the most challenging backdrop in years. T-mobile (TMUS) stock rose 5% premarket on Thursday after beating analyst estimates on Wednesday. The telecom group's CEO Mike Sievert told Yahoo Finance's executive editor Brian Sozzi that the company's steady value messaging is helping it to gain market share. Wolfspeed (WOLF) shares rose 18% before the bell. The chipmaker's stock reacted positively this week to the new US-Japan trade deal and has been up 13% over the last five days. The US-Japan trade deal boosts optimism for Wolfspeed as it supports Renesas' EV chip production, raising hopes for more deals with automakers like Jaguar Land Rover. American Eagle stock soars after-hours in latest meme push Stock in retail giant American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) flew up over 25% in after-hours trades overnight Thursday. The individual share price went from $10.82 at close to a peak of $13.80 as of 10:57 p.m. EDT. The jump in value can be attributed to the current meme stock phase that has pushed up value in companies such as Opendoor (OPEN), Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Kohl's (KSS), and GoPro (GPRO) over the past few days. Much of meme-stock mania can be attributed to retail investors making moves in stocks with 'undervalued fundamentals', and the rallying of groups around individual personalities. With this in mind, the release of an ad campaign starring actress Sydney Sweeney has been leapt upon by members of online communities on Reddit and X. Though seen in other companies receiving the benefits of online attention, with Opendoor receiving a 140% increase in retail revenue in the past two weeks, it is unclear whether the increase in stock value will see a corresponding increase in revenue for American Eagle. Oil prices rise on trade deal positivity, stockpile reduction Crude oil prices climbed late night Thursday, fueled by hopes for progress in US trade talks and a surprise plunge in American oil stockpiles, easing concerns about global economic slowdown.

The jump in value can be attributed to the current meme stock phase that has pushed up value in companies such as Opendoor (OPEN), Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Kohl's (KSS), and GoPro (GPRO) over the past few days. Much of meme-stock mania can be attributed to retail investors making moves in stocks with 'undervalued fundamentals', and the rallying of groups around individual personalities. With this in mind, the release of an ad campaign starring actress Sydney Sweeney has been leapt upon by members of online communities on Reddit and X. Though seen in other companies receiving the benefits of online attention, with Opendoor receiving a 140% increase in retail revenue in the past two weeks, it is unclear whether the increase in stock value will see a corresponding increase in revenue for American Eagle. Oil prices rise on trade deal positivity, stockpile reduction Crude oil prices climbed late night Thursday, fueled by hopes for progress in US trade talks and a surprise plunge in American oil stockpiles, easing concerns about global economic slowdown.

All eyes on CSX as Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern confirm talks
-- Now that Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NYSE:NSC) have confirmed they are in advanced merger talks, all eyes are on CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) and whether it might also consider a merger. Speculation has pointed to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa), which owns BNSF, as a potential suitor. Additionally, one of the major Canadian railroads—either Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited (NYSE:CP) or Canadian National Railway (NYSE:CNI) —could get involved. However, the Trump administration may oppose a cross-border deal involving a non-U.S. buyer. Shares of CSX rose 0.5% in mid-day trading on Thursday, but are well off session highs. CSX CEO Joseph Hinrichs addressed the rumors during the company's second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday evening. While stopping short of commenting on the speculation, he left the door open to opportunities that could create shareholder value. 'And finally, we know there's been a lot of rumor and speculation about consolidation in the railroad industry in recent weeks,' Hinrichs said in his opening remarks. 'While we cannot comment, we want to be clear that at CSX we are absolutely focused on delivering shareholder value and are always open to anything that can help us achieve this objective.' Later in the call, JP Morgan analyst Brian Ossenbeck asked Hinrichs for his perspective on potential rail consolidation, noting his background as a former shipper. Hinrichs, a 30-year auto industry veteran, emphasized that improving customer service and making it easier to do business with railroads is essential for industry growth. While again declining to comment on mergers, he stressed the importance of reliability, accessibility, and working across the rail ecosystem to better serve customers and compete with trucking. 'So again, I'm not going to talk about how we do that or all those, and as we said in our remarks, we're open to all those possibilities and all those conversations and how we could, we can do that, how we can best create value for our shareholders, properly grow the business and serve those customers better and look forward to those opportunities,' he added.

Trump threatens to escalate trade war with new round of tariffs up to 50%
President Donald Trump said he will impose tariffs ranging from a minimum rate of 15% to a clip as high as 50% as his Aug. 1 deadline looms. 'We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%,' Trump said Wednesday at an artificial intelligence summit in Washington, DC. Trump's latest tariff salvo was aimed at countries that have not yet secured bilateral trade frameworks with Washington. Advertisement 4 President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration is preparing to impose a new round of tariffs ranging from a minimum rate of 15% to a clip as high as 50%. REUTERS While some nations are actively negotiating to lower their rates, Trump emphasized that he intends to apply a 'very, very simple tariff for some of the countries,' citing the logistical challenge of negotiating individual deals with over 150 nations. 'You can't negotiate deals with everyone,' Trump said. Advertisement He added that negotiations with the European Union were 'serious' and tied potential reductions in tariffs to increased access for American businesses. 'If they agree to open up the (EU) to American businesses, then we will let them pay a lower tariff,' Trump said. The markets were mixed Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 164 points, or 0.36%, to 44,846.29 as of noon. The S&P 500 rose 13.68 points, or 0.22%, to 6,372.59, while the Nasdaq gained 43.05 points, or 0.21%, to reach 21,063.06. Advertisement 4 Trump laid out his latest tariff plans, describing them as 'reciprocal' duties ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. Getty Images Trump's comments mark a shift from statements when he initially proposed a universal tariff of 10% on nearly every country during his 'Liberation Day' rollout in April. While his team has previously floated rates between 10% and 15%, Wednesday's remarks indicate that the baseline is now expected to begin at 15%, with significantly higher rates for countries with strained relations with the US. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that smaller nations — including 'the Latin American countries, the Caribbean countries, many countries in Africa' — would face a baseline tariff of 10%. Advertisement Despite initial expressions of interest in formal trade agreements, Trump has recently suggested that the letters themselves constitute a form of dealmaking. Still, countries may reduce their rates through side agreements. 4 Trump's tariff initiative, which he began rolling out in April, is aimed at countries that have not yet secured bilateral trade frameworks with Washington. REUTERS On Tuesday, the White House announced that Trump had agreed to reduce a proposed 25% tariff on Japan to 15%. The reduction was made in exchange for Japan lifting certain restrictions on US products and pledging $550 billion in US investments. A similar deal is reportedly under discussion with South Korea, according to people familiar with the matter. That country is also working toward securing a 15% tariff rate, including on automobiles. In Southeast Asia, the Philippines is also seeking to lower its rate. According to the country's ambassador to the US, Jose Manuel Romualdez, the Philippines hopes to bring down its current tariff rate from 19% to 15%. Vietnam, another country weighing its options, is assessing the possible consequences of not securing a trade agreement. An internal Vietnamese government estimate projects that its exports to the US could fall by as much as one-third if higher tariffs take effect. 4 An aerial view of a container shipped docked at the Port of Oakland on May 20. Getty Images Advertisement India and members of the European Union are also pushing for trade agreements before the new tariffs are enacted. As the deadline nears, multiple governments are working to either strike a deal or gauge the economic impact of the proposed levies. Trump's increasingly firm stance on tariffs suggests a broader strategy to use trade policy as a lever for international concessions. With the Aug. 1 implementation date fast approaching, the administration is signaling that countries will either accept the new terms or negotiate quickly to avoid higher costs.
