The market

Market Catalysts Reignite Optimism

The surge followed President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new trade agreement with the UK, as well as hints that more international deals could follow. This news gave Tesla and broader markets a lift, particularly for stocks with global exposure like Tesla, which benefits from reduced trade barriers.

Q1 Earnings Miss and a Rocky Start to 2025

Despite this recent upswing, Tesla’s year began on shaky ground. Disappointing Q1 2025 results and slowing global EV demand led to a sharp selloff. The company reported earnings per share of $0.27, missing the expected $0.42, while revenue fell to $19.34 billion, below the $21.4 billion forecast. These figures reflected both a dip in worldwide vehicle sales and aggressive price cuts aimed at maintaining market share.

Investor Sentiment Begins to Shift

However, sentiment has improved notably since mid-April, with positive price action supported by reassurance that Elon Musk will remain at the helm. Confidence in Tesla’s leadership, along with renewed enthusiasm around global trade talks—including upcoming negotiations between U.S. and Chinese officials—has helped to restore momentum.
