Tesla CEO Elon Musk would ‘be silly’ to slash prices again, analyst says

Investors are hoping Tesla’s (TSLA) price-cutting ways have run their course for 2023. “Based on the statement that [Elon Musk] made on the fourth quarter earnings call, saying that his demand is 2x his supply, you’d be silly to cut price,” BofA analyst John Murphy on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “You would just be eating into your profitability and not achieving any more incremental volume in the near term.” Earlier this month, Tesla cut the Model 3 base version by $3,000 to $43,990.

Vital Farms raised egg prices ‘reluctantly and in small amounts’: CEO

Vital Farms (VITL) CEO Russell Diez-Canseco says the recent spike in egg prices, up more nearly 60% year-over-year, is “a head scratcher.” “Over the course of 2022, we certainly saw inflationary impacts to our key inputs like the grains we feed our girls [hens] and the diesel fuel that the truckers use to fuel their trucks as they deliver the eggs to the grocery stores,” Diez-Canseco told Yahoo Finance. “Our approach to price increases has been to take them reluctantly in small amounts.” A… Source link

The next three weeks could be a bit of a mixed bag,” he said. De Haan points to planned breaks in production at refineries as… Source link

AriZona beverage company co-founder Don Vultaggio vowed to maintain the brand’s iconic 99-cent can, but to keep that promise amid rampant inflation, something else had to give. At the beginning of the year, the New York-based company (nope, not Arizona) raised the price of its 20-ounce bottle, what it calls “Tallboys,” from $1.00 to $1.25, up 25%, in the Northeast, its largest market. “We changed the price in certain markets at the beginning of this year,” he told Yahoo Finance in a phone… Source link

Egg prices soar nearly 60% as some retail locations see low supply

The cost of eggs stood out in Thursday’s CPI report — rising 59.9% year-over-year and 11.1% month-over-month from November to December. This marked the largest monthly increase since April 2020 and the largest annual jump since September 1973, according to Steve Reed, an economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Eggs, he said, single-handedly brought up the cost of groceries in December, which rose 0.2% month-over-month. “If you sort of removed eggs, if you took eggs out of [the… Source link
