Trump auto tariffs deal won’t boost Tesla, as deeper concerns weigh on stock

Forex Short News

Evercore analysts remain hopeful that the Trump administration will eventually strike a tariff agreement that benefits automakers, but hold a more cautious view on Tesla.

Notes several concerns on TSLA

  • Tesla’s long-term earnings outlook continues to decline
  • projected 2026 earnings per share now roughly 85% lower than estimates made in 2022
  • flagged issues including a lacklustre rollout of autonomous vehicle technology, Elon Musk’s politically charged social media activity, and technical indicators that suggest the stock may be approaching a negative trend
  • Tesla shares are down over 21% year to date

Expects Tesla’s second-quarter earnings to come in between 38 and 40 cents per share, below the Wall Street consensus of 44 cents.
