Navigate the title in bad waters Teslawhich since the beginning of the year almost 40% lost. A shoulder strap that is to be attributed, in part to the political involvement of his patron Elon Musk, linked to the President Donald Trump, but also to the disappointing trend of the sales and to the competition More and more fierce of the Chinese brands of electric cars, much cheaper.
The collapse of the title at Nasdaq
The Tesla title closed the session last Friday a 248.71 dollars On a minimum intraday touched at 233 USD. At this price the Tesla title canceled all the advantage created at the end of 2024, after Trump’s victory in the elections, which had brought Tesla’s value to a peak of $ 480 In mid -December. From here, a correction movement began, first slower, then increasingly steep, which has accelerated in the last month. The performance of thelast month sees the Tesla actions correct by 26%, while the performance year to date Signs a significant -38%.
The causes of the fall
Behind this performance there is certainly an explanation politicswhich refers to the Excessive “exhibition” of the founder Elon Musk On more political and ideological than economic issues. An example is the Visit to the Pentagonyesterday, motivated by its role as a consultant for the PA reform, but according to the American press, the sortie would have hidden strategic purposes and would have led Musk to the attention of information reserved on China, even of a war nature.
The brand has heavily affected it, accusing in the last period the repercussions of denigration campaigns and vandalic actsI, which led to a drop in sales and recycling of cars already sold. According to the Edmunds Consulting Company Le Returns in March have now marked a Maximum historianattesting to 1.4% of the total cars returned against 0.4% of a year ago, while the interest of consumers for the new Tesla models would have fallen to the minimum since 2022.
Competition weighs of low -cost electric cars, which is braking salesfor some time with the less sign, together with the Suspension of the production of the Model Y for a restyling of the production line. And although the patron has said that Tesla still produces “the best-selling car in the world”, the car manufacturer is facing a really hard period, which goes beyond the cyclical drop in annual sales (the January-March quarter is traditionally the worst).
The halving of the value of the Tesla shares on the share market can then be attributed to More technical issueswho have to do with a picture of hypercompus – RSI arrived at 85 – and an increase in the volatility of the title on the peak of 480 dollars, which triggered the correction.
Shareholders in Pressing
This performance has disappointed very investors and analysts. Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities, one of Tesla’s major supporters spoke of a “tornado” fell up on the company and even asked for a Musk’s back from politicswhile the Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has aroused great perplexity, recommending the purchase of Tesla actions.
Musk reassures
I face this situation, Musk tried to reassure investors and employees of Tesla, during a direct on X. The patron of Tesla attributed the performance to “A little storm” and urged employees-actionists a Don’t panic and don’t sell Tesla actions.
“If you read the news, it seems the end of the world,” he ironized the patron of Tesla, trying to throw water on the fire and ensuring that the Tesla cars “will be everywhere” and that “The future is incredibly bright”. “We will do things that nobody has ever even dreamed,” he concluded.
During the meeting with the employees the entrepreneur also spoke of some future projects, like a cheaper line of electric cars and autonomous carstating that Tesla is “a software update away from being completely autonomous”. A leverage that no longer pulls.
