Tesla Stock Nears Breakout as Model Y Demand Soars Ahead of Tax Credit Cut
Aug 11 - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares extended their winning streak Monday, climbing 3.5% to $341.8 and aiming for a fourth consecutive day of gains. The move puts the stock on the verge of a potential technical breakout, with chart watchers flagging $368 as the next key target if it can hold above the $338 resistance level, according to strategist Mark Newton. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with PSKY. Fresh data on Tesla's order backlog shows Model Y wait times stretching to four-to-six weeks, up from one-to-three earlier this summer. The jump suggests rising demand, likely fueled by buyers rushing to secure the soon-to-expire $7,500 federal tax credit. The incentive, scaled back under President Donald Trump's July 4 tax bill, has created a sense of urgency among prospective EV owners. Year to date, Tesla shares remain down about 18%, reflecting a challenging first half. However, over the past 12 months, the stock has rallied roughly 65%, supported by improving production metrics, pricing stability, and renewed enthusiasm for the company's growth story. For many Tesla bulls, the real long-term catalyst remains the company's autonomous-driving technology. Advocates believe its progress in full self-driving capabilities could open up entirely new revenue streams and transform Tesla's earnings profile over the next decade.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq waver as Trump reportedly extends China tariff deadline
Stocks wavered on Monday as President Trump reportedly granted another 90-day extension for steeper China tariffs and as traders eyed a key inflation reading this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell 0.4%. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell into negative territory to slip 0.1%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq (^IXIC) slipped below the flat line after rising as much as 0.4%. Stocks reacted little to reports from CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post that indicated that Trump pushed back his China tariff deadline until Nov. 9 as the two sides continue to work on negotiating a firmer deal. Additional tariffs on China were previously scheduled to go into effect on Tuesday. Wall Street is coming off a week that saw the Nasdaq Composite notch two consecutive records at its end. The S&P 500, meanwhile, just missed a record close on Friday. Tech stocks overperformed as Apple (AAPL) posted its best week since 2020 on the heels of its White House spotlight with President Trump. Nvidia also closed Friday at a fresh record amid signals from Trump that Big Tech companies could avoid looming chip tariffs. But in another tariff-related twist, President Trump confirmed on Monday he made a deal with Nvidia —allowing the AI chip giant to sell its H20 chip to China for a revenue cut in exchange. "This [H20] is an old chip that China already has," Trump said on Monday, noting the agreement does not extend to Nvidia's next generation Blackwell. The Financial Times reported on Sunday that both Nvidia and AMD agreed to give the US government 15% of the money they make from selling certain computer chips to China. Nvidia and AMD shares reversed early losses on Monday. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Trump has claimed that his tariffs are having a "huge positive impact on the stock market," though Wall Street is still navigating the twists and turns of sweeping duties on dozens of trade partners which went into effect last week. Now, investors are turning their attention to his previewed sectoral duties on semiconductor and pharmaceutical imports, as well as a looming Tuesday deadline to extend a tariff pause with China. Wall Street will get another glimpse this week into how those tariffs are affecting price pressures in the US. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is set for release on Tuesday, followed by the Producer Price Index on Thursday and retail sales data on Friday. Inflation reaccelerated in June, and economists have warned that the tariffs will likely continue to seep into price data in the coming months. On Monday Trump clarified gold (GC-F) will not be tariffed the precious metal futures market whipsawed last week amid confusion on whether Swiss bars would be subject to levies.

Gold at session lows as Trump says precious metal will be not be tariffed Gold (GC=F) futures traded near session lows on Monday afternoon after President Trump said imports of the precious metal will not be tariffed. "Gold will not be Tariffed!" said a statement posted on social media. The precious metal declined more than 2% to trade near $3,404 per ounce. Last Friday gold futures touched intraday record highs amid reports that imports of Swiss gold bars would not be exempt from tariffs. Later in the session the metal trimmed gains after the White House indicated it would clarify "misinformation about the tariffing of gold bars and other specialty products." stock falls 23% after lowering revenue guidance Inc. (AI) stock tumbled as much as 30% on Monday morning after the software company reported a steep sales miss and as its founder's health issues are spurring a search for a successor. Shares were down 23% in afternoon trading. The company released preliminary results late Friday showing revenue well below analysts' estimates as it undergoes a reorganization of its sales operation. Guidance for the fiscal first quarter also came in lighter than expected. Bloomberg reported that CEO Tom Siebel attributed what he called "completely unacceptable" results to recent health issues that prevented him from actively helping to sell the company's software. Several weeks ago, he said the company would begin to search for a successor. As Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi noted today, problems appear to be company-specific — not an indicator of the overall AI trade. "But I think now is probably the time to pivot away from some of the pure plays and go to more of bank shots on AI, and names like that would be in the industrials that, you know, aren't even tech stocks, but are benefiting from all of the infrastructure spending," John Campbell of Allsprings Global Investments said on Opening Bid.

Bitcoin surges above $120,000, ethereum rises as investors pile into crypto Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged on Monday to trade near record highs as investor enthusiasm and momentum around crypto grew. The digital token reached $122,000 on Monday before easing to around $120,000. The gains come as inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have grown and public companies have been adding bitcoin to their balance sheets. Bitcoin wasn't the only cryptocurrency getting a bid; ethereum (ETH-USD) touched 2021 levels on Monday. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap has surged roughly 190% since the April market lows. Companies have been adding ethereum to their balance sheets as a way to gain exposure to the tech infrastructure behind decentralized finance and digital assets, such as stablecoins. The move higher in crypto also comes as stocks hover near record highs on expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September and President Trump's next Fed chair pick will likely bring looser monetary policy. Intel stock jumps with CEO Lip-Bu Tan reportedly set to meet with President Trump Intel (INTC) stock jumped more than 4% ahead of CEO Lip-Bu Tan's reported visit to the White House after President Trump called for his resignation. Citing unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that Tan is set to meet with Trump Monday to explain his personal and professional background and to propose ways that Intel and the government can collaborate. Intel did not immediately respond to Yahoo Finance's questions regarding the reported meeting. Read the full story here. Tesla stock rises as EV maker applies for electricity supply license in UK Tesla (TSLA) stock surged 3% on Monday after the EV maker applied for a license to provide electricity to UK households and businesses. Apart from making electric vehicles and robotaxis, Tesla also provides Megapack batteries. The company's energy business grew 30% year over year last quarter, accounting for its largest margins. If the electricity supply license application submitted to the UK energy regulator Ofgem is approved, Tesla would be allowed to compete with other energy firms in the region. Micron jumps after memory chipmaker raises Q4 financial guidance Memory chipmaker Micron (MU) — which supplies its semiconductors to Nvidia (NVDA) to use in its products — saw its stock jump more than 4% Monday after raising its financial outlook for its fourth quarter, which ends Aug. 28. The company said it expects to see adjusted revenue of $11.1 billion to $11.3 billion, up from its prior projected range of $10.4 billion to $11 billion. Micron expects to report quarterly adjusted earnings per share of $2.78 to $2.92, more than its previous range of $2.35 to $2.65. "This revised guidance reflects improved pricing, particularly in DRAM, and strong execution," the company said in a statement. Micron's DRAM chips are one type of memory chip used in devices like personal computers and smartphones. Stocks steady at the open US stocks were steady at the open on Monday after the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) notched two consecutive records last week.

Chip stocks were in focus Monday after Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) reportedly inked deals with the US government to sell their chips to China in exchange for sharing 15% of their revenues from the country.

Nvidia stock was off by 0.4% premarket, while AMD stock dropped 1.4% as investors digested the unusual deal in which the chipmakers will essentially pay for export licenses. While the details are still being worked out, the chips in question reportedly include Nvidia's H20 AI chip and AMD's MI308 chips, which previously faced export controls from the Trump administration. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made the deal at the White House last Wednesday, the same day Apple (AAPL) agreed to increase its US investment to $600 billion, ostensibly to help the company avoid tariffs, as the Trump administration looks to monetize trade policy. An Nvidia spokesperson told Yahoo Finance: 'We follow rules the U.S. government sets for our participation in worldwide markets. While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide. America cannot repeat 5G and lose telecommunication leadership. America's AI tech stack can be the world's standard if we race." As for other chip stocks, Intel (INTC) and Qualcomm (QCOM) shares rose, while Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) fell modestly.

Target still in the bear camp Good WSJ story this morning on Target (TGT) and its many challenges, one of them finding its next CEO. I wrote more on this a couple months ago. I would expect an abysmal quarter (another one) from Target when it reports second quarter earnings on August 20. The company is not only dealing with operational challenges, but it has totally lost the value perception battle with Walmart. I don't see these dynamics changing this year, and maybe not until deep into 2026 provided an outside CEO is brought in to run a full assessment of the business. Bitcoin near a fresh record Bitcoin looks to be breaking out of its recent trading range, nearing a fresh record this morning. There doesn't appear to be a clear catalyst for the pop today, though this Sunday X post from bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor may have stoked the bulls. It suggests he will continue to be a buyer of bitcoin — perhaps no surprise, but the crypto market likes to be coddled. "If you don't stop buying Bitcoin, you won't stop making Money," Saylor wrote. crashing Shares of (AI) are getting crushed pre-market to the tune of 30%. And the rout is 100% deserved. Late Friday the company said it sees preliminary first fiscal quarter revenue of $70.2 million to $70.4 million, about 33% below the mid-point of its prior guidance for $100 million to $109 million. Sales would be down 19% from the prior year. The adjusted operating loss will be $57.7 million to $59.9 million, roughly twice the $23.5 million to $33.5 million loss that it had expected. I don't think there is anything to read into the AI trade here — this seems very company-specific, and tied to a sales reorg.

Target still in the bear camp Good WSJ story this morning on Target (TGT) and its many challenges, one of them finding its next CEO. I wrote more on this a couple months ago. I would expect an abysmal quarter (another one) from Target when it reports second quarter earnings on August 20. The company is not only dealing with operational challenges, but it has totally lost the value perception battle with Walmart. I don't see these dynamics changing this year, and maybe not until deep into 2026 provided an outside CEO is brought in to run a full assessment of the business.

Bitcoin near a fresh record Bitcoin looks to be breaking out of its recent trading range, nearing a fresh record this morning. There doesn't appear to be a clear catalyst for the pop today, though this Sunday X post from bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor may have stoked the bulls. It suggests he will continue to be a buyer of bitcoin — perhaps no surprise, but the crypto market likes to be coddled. "If you don't stop buying Bitcoin, you won't stop making Money," Saylor wrote.

Late Friday the company said it sees preliminary first fiscal quarter revenue of $70.2 million to $70.4 million, about 33% below the mid-point of its prior guidance for $100 million to $109 million. Sales would be down 19% from the prior year. The adjusted operating loss will be $57.7 million to $59.9 million, roughly twice the $23.5 million to $33.5 million loss that it had expected. I don't think there is anything to read into the AI trade here — this seems very company-specific, and tied to a sales reorg. Shares of (AI) are getting crushed pre-market to the tune of 30%.

SLP BREAKING NEWS: Simulations Plus, Inc. Stock Significantly Declines After Impairment Charge and Auditor Departure -- Investors Urged to Contact BFA Law
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP) for potential violations of the federal securities laws. Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLP) for potential violations of the federal securities laws. Share If you invested in Simulations Plus, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: . Why Is Simulations Plus being Investigated? Simulations Plus is a software company that develops tools for modeling and simulation in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical industries. In June 2024, Simulations Plus acquired Pro-ficiency Holdings, Inc., a provider of simulation-based learning, intelligence and compliance solutions. During the relevant period, Simulations Plus touted the integration of Pro-ficiency and represented that the acquisition would double its total addressable market and was meaningfully contributing to sales. Simulations Plus also certified that its internal controls over financial reporting were effective. In truth, it appears Simulations Plus struggled to successfully integrate Pro-ficiency and lacked effective internal controls. The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed On April 15, 2025, the Company hired Grant Thornton LLP as its new auditor. Less than two months later, on June 11, 2025, Simulations Plus announced disappointing preliminary financial results for 3Q 2025 citing purported '[m]arket uncertainties surrounding funding, drug prices and potential tariffs' as 'significant headwinds.' On this news, the price of Simulations Plus stock fell $6.39 per share, or more than 24%, from $26.44 per share on June 11, 2025, to $20.05 per share on June 12, 2025. Then, on July 14, 2025, Simulations Plus reported its 3Q 25 financial results which included a $77.2 million charge 'related to prior acquisitions.' The next day, Simulations Plus reported that it had dismissed Grant Thornton. When discussing the dismissal, Simulations Plus stated that 'the Company (i) reviewed certain matters regarding segment reporting and reporting unit determinations, that it determined could not be finalized in time . . . , (ii) evaluated internal controls over financial reporting related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(a) compliance, concluding they could not be finalized timely [], and (iii) there were no 'reportable events' as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.' However, Simulations Plus also revealed that the auditor disagreed with the Company's characterizations and that, according to Grant Thornton, '[it] identified and communicated certain matters to management and the Audit Committee related to segment reporting and reporting unit determinations as well as internal controls over financial reporting. . . . These matters were not resolved to our satisfaction as of the date of our termination.' On the news of the impairment charge, the dismissal of Grant Thornton, and the auditor's findings, the price of Simulation Plus stock declined $4.50 per share, nearly 26%, from $17.47 per share on June 14, 2025, to $12.97 per share on June 15, 2025.
