Tesla Plunges 15% on Earnings Miss, Negative Cash Flow; SpaceX Down 50% From Peak
TSLA is trading near its 52-week low of $297.82 (3.0% above the low).
Summary
Tesla shares cratered 15% after reporting an earnings miss and its first negative cash flow in two years, intensifying a brutal July that has now wiped out 27% of the stock's value. The selloff was compounded by a broader tech rout driven by AI spending fears. Meanwhile, SpaceX has collapsed roughly 50% from its post-IPO highs, shedding over $1 trillion in market value, with its stock down 34% this month alone. This marks a dramatic reversal for Elon Musk's core holdings, which had propelled him to trillionaire status just last month. The negative cash flow at Tesla is particularly alarming given the company's heavy AI and R&D investments, raising questions about near-term liquidity. With Tesla trading near its 52-week low, the pressure is on for the upcoming Q3 delivery numbers to restore confidence.
