Tesla Q2 Preview: Deliveries Dip, Robotaxi Hype

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) will report second-quarter results after the bell on 23 Jul 2025. Wall Street expects adjusted EPS of $0.39 on revenue of $22.22 billion, down 25% and 13%, respectively, from a year earlier as sequential deliveries slipped and aggressive pricing continued to bite. The stock is 16% lower year-to-date, lagging the S&P 500 after surrendering roughly one-third of its December peak. Even with softer deliveries, the shares remain popular among retail investors. They will focus on the pace of the Full Self-Driving rollout, updates from the Austin robotaxi pilot, and a timeline for the long-promised lower-cost model. Investors will also watch whether automotive gross margin, projected to slip from 18% a year ago, stabilizes despite new incentives compressing average selling prices, and how rising tariffs flow through to the bottom line. The newly signed Big Beautiful Bill removes federal EV tax credits, adding further pressure to U.S. demand and eroding regulatory-credit revenue. After publicly backing Donald Trump, later feuding with him, and now launching his own political party, CEO Elon Musk is likely to face questions about whether politics could distract from execution. Energy generation and storage remain a small slice of sales but are growing quickly. Investors will look for evidence that momentum continues. Meanwhile, options pricing implies a 7% swing around the print, underscoring the need for a compelling AI-and-margin story to keep sentiment buoyant. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

BNSF Railway taps Goldman Sachs for railroad acquisition, sources say

By Sabrina Valle (Reuters) -Berkshire Hathaway-owned BNSF Railway is working with Goldman Sachs to explore the takeover of a rival railroad, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. A deal would add to a slew of M&A activity in the railway sector, amid rival Union Pacific's possible acquisition of Norfolk Southern to create a $200 billion coast-to-coast rail network. A merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern would create the first modern West-to-East single-line freight railroad in the U.S., altering the industry's competitive landscape for peers like BNSF. BNSF did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. It was not immediately clear whether BNSF would target Norfolk or the other East Coast carrier, CSX, according to Semafor which first reported the development. Shares of Norfolk Southern were up 2.4% in extended trading.
