Tesla's stock slide looks to be unrelenting

Published On Feb 12, 2025, 6:10 AM

Tesla's stock (TSLA) has dropped about 33% since hitting a record high in December 2024, continuing a downward trend in February. Current pre-market trading shows shares priced at $321. Concerns regarding Tesla's sales figures, particularly a steep decline in vehicle sales in China, coupled with new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, are contributing to the bearish sentiment around the stock. Additionally, Tesla's recent earnings report showed lower sales and missed estimates on earnings per share, further dampening investor confidence. Analysts believe that without significant new developments from the company, Tesla's valuation may be seen as overvalued compared to traditional automotive competitors.

TSLA

Negative

The ongoing decline in Tesla's stock is influenced by external factors such as weak sales in critical markets and increased production costs due to tariffs. With the stock already down significantly and no immediate positive catalysts in sight, further declines seem probable unless there are substantial improvements in sales or business strategy.
