Tesla stock price largely based on ‘hype’ and ‘pixie dust,’ venture capitalist says

The steep slide in Tesla’s (TSLA) stock price this year is starting to catch the eye of valuation watchers. “Not since 2018 has Tesla traded at these levels,” Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in an email to Yahoo Finance. “On an EV/EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization] basis it’s the cheapest valuation to date.” Ives — a former Tesla bull who made headlines in mid-November for removing the EV maker’s stock from Wedbush’s best ideas list — isn’t too far… Source link

Tesla stock bear surprises with upgrade after $600 billion rout

Tesla stock woes have caught the attention of one noted Wall Street bear on the EV maker.

The analyst served up several reasons for the valuation-based upgrade. “(1) With the… Source link

Musk identified potential successor as CEO, Tesla board member says

When it comes to litigation, it’s surprising the kinds of revelations that come out when someone is under oath. And that includes what’s next for Tesla’s (TSLA) leadership. During testimony yesterday at trial over Elon Musk’s 2018 pay package, Tesla board member James Murdoch testified that Elon Musk has identified someone as a potential successor for his role as CEO at Tesla. “He actually has,” Murdoch said when a plaintiff’s attorney asked him to confirm that Musk has never… Source link
