Tesla stock's up 75% in a year! Time to buy?
There is rarely a shortage of news – or opinions – when it comes to electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). But while there has been a fair bit of doom and gloom around lately when it comes to the firm, Tesla stock is now 75% higher than it was a year ago. The long-term performance has been even more impressive. Every pound put into Tesla stock five years ago is now worth over a fiver (ignoring exchange rate movements during that period). So, could this be one to tuck away in my portfolio today and hope for more money-spinning magic in future? At the right price, my answer would be an unambiguous yes. Vehicles are a huge business and likely to stay that way. Over time, I expect electric cars and trucks to form a growing part of that market. Tesla is well-positioned here: it has a vertically integrated manufacturing model already operating at scale, a strong brand, proprietary technology, and large base of existing customers. However, this market is different to how it was a few years ago. Tesla has lost its pre-eminence, as Chinese rivals including BYD expand at pace both in their home market and overseas. Tesla's first-quarter sales were sharply lower than last year. That could reflect some production lines being out of action for part of the period as well as adverse publicity related to Tesla's chief executive's political involvement. But a key factor behind the fall – and one I see as a long-term risk – is a more competitive marketplace. That risks eating into profit margins across the industry. I also see opportunities for Tesla beyond making and selling cars. One is its planned launch of self-driving taxi fleets. Another is the robotics business. On top of that, it already has a sizeable power storage business that is growing very fast. Given the rise in its stock price over the past year, Tesla is currently sitting on a nice round market capitalization of $1trn. That is a lot of money. Never mind whether the stock can move higher in future, is it even worth its current price? I do not think so. The Tesla stock price-to-earnings ratio now sits at a dizzying 176. Ford, by contrast, is on 8 and General Motors on 7. Tesla's valuation seems to build in huge expectations for future performance. But as I discussed above, recent signs about the company's business performance have been alarming, not encouraging. While power storage is doing well, the core car business has been in reverse. Meanwhile, its competitive environment is becoming more challenging by the month and I do not see that changing. To me, the current Tesla stock price looks unjustifiably high. So, I shall not be investing. The post Tesla stock's up 75% in a year! Time to buy? appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Trump's Bill Would End EV Subsidies: Could That Bankrupt Lucid Group?
Lucid Group has limited capital and is burning through its cash rapidly. Eliminating EV tax credits could affect Lucid's competitiveness. 10 stocks we like better than Lucid Group › Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) is growing its electric vehicle (EV) sales rapidly right now. In 2025, analysts expect its revenues to jump by 73%, and in 2026, they anticipate an even faster growth rate approaching 100%. There's just one problem: Included in Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is a provision that would eliminate the federal tax credits for electric vehicles. That would effectively raise the prices of EVs by $4,000 to $7,500 -- a huge potential blow to demand. When you look at the numbers, things could quickly get ugly for Lucid. But there's also some reason for hope. Lucid's sales growth over the next couple of years will primarily be driven by its recently introduced Gravity SUV. Previously, the company only offered its Air sedan, which ranged in price between $70,000 and around $100,000 depending on the configuration. SUVs, however, are much more popular than sedans in the U.S. right now. Long term, however, it will be critical for Lucid to develop some mass-market vehicles, which are typically priced under $50,000. Tesla's two mass-market models -- the Model 3 and Model Y -- currently account for more than 90% of its unit sales. Such vehicles bring scale to sales growth, but also to operational leverage, which is immensely beneficial to profitability. If the U.S. eliminates federal EV tax incentives, having more affordable vehicles in its lineup will be crucial to Lucid's growth and stability. While the company has previously teased plans to launch several new mass-market models in 2026, details about those potential EVs have been scarce. Plus, it takes billions of dollars to get a new EV model to market. With less than $2 billion in cash on its books, Lucid will likely need to tap the credit and equity markets again before these vehicles launch. Over the past 12 months, it booked a net loss of $3.8 billion. This all puts Lucid in a tight spot. It needs to get mass-market vehicles on the road to boost sales, scale, and profitability. But it will need more capital to do that, and if Trump and the Republicans in control of Congress end the federal EV tax credit, that could lead investors to pull back from the space, limiting Lucid's ability to easily raise capital. That would not be a good position for an early stage, capital-intensive business to find itself in. But could the elimination of EV tax credits actually end up helping Lucid in the long term? There's a case to be made that ending the EV tax credit could eventually benefit Lucid. Demand for EVs would likely take a hit over the short term as the real costs to consumers rise, but if Lucid can get its affordable models to market on schedule, that could mitigate some of the impact. Meanwhile, competitors that fail to introduce mass-market EVs could struggle to maintain market share, giving Lucid more room to grow. I'm skeptical of this optimistic view. Lucid is far behind competitors like Rivian and Tesla in terms of both financing and the ability to launch additional affordable vehicles. The recent departure of its longtime CEO may put even more strain on its ability to raise capital. In terms of publicly traded EV companies, Lucid arguably has the most to lose due to its diminutive size and limited lineup. Will Trump's bill cause Lucid to go bankrupt? Not immediately. But the company has been relatively quiet about its plans for new mass-market EVs, and it could be years before its production scales meaningfully. That leaves it with a limited lineup of high-priced vehicles -- not an ideal situation when achieving scale will require it to provide affordable options.

How Elon Musk Is Reinventing Tesla's Strategy
Elon Musk's pivot to robots isn't just shifting Tesla's TSLA 1.94%increase; green up pointing triangle business model. It is changing its DNA. The electric-car maker was founded almost 22 years ago on a simple, if not radical, idea: Electric vehicles were possible not with some sort of breakthrough in batteries but rather through integrating proven technologies in a new way.
