Key Stories Impacting Tesla

Here are the key news stories impacting Tesla this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Tesla beat Q4 revenue and EPS expectations and showed growth in energy-storage revenue, which supports near-term cash flow and offsets auto weakness. Reuters: Tesla revenue beats estimates
• Positive Sentiment: Tesla disclosed a ~$2B investment in Elon Musk’s xAI and reiterated plans to expand robotaxi/Optimus initiatives — a narrative that could re-rate Tesla if the “physical AI” story delivers substantial recurring software or robot revenue. CNBC: Tesla to invest $2B in xAI
• Positive Sentiment: Late-session headlines that SpaceX is exploring a merger or tie‑up with Tesla buoyed sentiment and drove short-term buying interest tied to consolidation/speculation. Reuters: SpaceX said to consider merger with Tesla
• Neutral Sentiment: Analyst reactions are mixed — some firms raised targets (TD Cowen, Cantor Fitzgerald), others trimmed them or kept conservative ratings — adding dispersion to near-term price targets and investor guidance expectations. MarketScreener: TD Cowen raises target
• Neutral Sentiment: Tesla disclosed 1.1M active FSD subscriptions and emphasized robotaxi rollout — useful long-term optionality but uncertain timing and monetization scale. Benzinga: FSD subscriptions revealed
• Negative Sentiment: Tesla reported its first full-year revenue decline and falling vehicle deliveries, and profitability was pressured — fundamentals that justify caution for investors focused on the traditional auto business. FT: Tesla suffers first annual drop in revenue
• Negative Sentiment: Management guided capex to more than $20B for 2026 to fund robots, chips and factories — a major increase that raises cash‑burn and execution risk until those investments prove revenue-generating. Reuters: Tesla plans $20B capex
• Negative Sentiment: Ending Model S and Model X production and converting lines for Optimus is disruptive operationally and removes legacy revenue lines while new businesses scale — a near-term headwind with uncertain payback timing. CNBC: Tesla ending Model S and X production
