Here's What's Driving the Tesla Stock. It's Not Elon Musk's Twins

Dow Jones2022-07-08

Shares of electric vehicle maker Tesla rose 5.53% on Thursday. Here's what's happening.

Chief executive Elon Musk was reported to have had twins with one of his top executives in November. He and Shivon Zilis filed to have their childrens' names altered at a court in Texas, Business Insider reported. Musk has nine known children.

Separately, Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney said that opening up Tesla's (ticker: TSLA) charging stations to non-Tesla EVs could unlock up to $3 billion in annual sales for the company, or 75 cents in per-share earnings, equivalent to about 5% of 2023 estimated earnings.

There are about 136,000 electric charging points in the U.S., of which only about 25,000 are fast ports. Tesla has more than 50% of those. While opening them up to other cars might help other car makers' sales, an open network would also bolster adoption of EVs and lead to higher sales for Tesla as well.

Tesla shares have dropped more than 30% this year, hurt by a broad market selloff as the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates. They have also been affected by Musk's offer to buy social media site Twitter for $44 billion and production problems in China.

    I feel Tesla will do well in the coming years, if he managed his inventories well. Example insulting more charging point for share charging to other EV cars just like petrol stations, they don't serve only Merc, BMW, toyota or Renault but all kinds of ICE..
