$NIO Inc.(NIO)$According to the 27 industry analysts covering NIO, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2023, before generating positive profits of CN¥2.1b in 2024. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 97%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$Tesla officially announced a three-for-one stock split, meaning the company's stock price — which has jockeyed between $600 and $1,000 for a year — is about to get more affordable for investors.The stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 25th.Tesla (TSLA) shareholders approved the split Thursday at the company's annual shareholders' meeting. Following the split, a person who owned one share of the company will hold three, and the price of each of those shares will be one-third of the price at that time. At Friday's closing price of roughly $865, that would make the post-split price per share just about $288.Stock splits are usually done to increase a stock's liquidity, making it ea

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$While demand for personal computers is down and the U.S. government is blocking the sales of some of the company's chips to Russia and China, the long-term potential remains strong for Nvidia. As more devices become connected to the Internet and dependent on chips, the greater the potential for a market leader like Nvidia there will be in the long run. The company estimates that there is a $1 trillion market opportunity for it to tap into, with chips and systems as just one piece of that potentially worth $300 billion. There's another $300 billion opportunity in the automotive industry, plus $150 billion in the omniverse (i.e., the metaverse for engineers), $150 billion in enterprise software for artifi

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$A New Frontier in the MetaverseJust recently, two examples of Nvidia's drive to innovate came to the fore. The first is a blog post describing Sensory's use of hybrid computing, which uses both cloud-based and on-premises computing resources. Hybrid computing helps Sensory bring interactivity to many types of voice-enabled electronics, from wearables to refrigerators and microwave ovens.Of course, this couldn't be accomplished without the right hardware, and Nvidia is glad to provide it. To that end, some of Sensory's recently introduced AI-embedded voice and vision applications "rely on NVIDIA NeMo — a toolkit to build state-of-the-art conversational AI models — and Triton Inference Server for its Sens

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Google agreed to pay a total of $391.5 million to 40 US states to resolve a probe into controversial location-tracking practices that the Alphabet Inc. unit says it already discarded several years ago, in what state officials are calling the largest such privacy settlement in US history. Google will “significantly improve” its location-tracking disclosures and user controls starting next year as part of the deal, according to a statement issued Monday by Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, who led the negotiations with her Nebraska counterpart, Doug Peterson. In an interview, Rosenblum called Google’s practices “crafty and deceptive” because the company had secretly recorded users’ movements and

$Apple(AAPL)$ At today’s prices, Apple stock trades for around 24 times trailing twelve-month earnings. To some, this may appear pricey, given the potential for growth deceleration, plus the fact that, with rising interest rates, even the most high-quality of stocks have moved down to valuations under 20 times earnings. However, it’s possible that AAPL stock can maintain this valuation, throughout the current rough patch. Although the market has its concerns, it’s well aware that this company is much better-positioned to bounce back from the in-progress downturn than its peers. While Alphabet and Meta may be still struggling to get earnings back to pandemic-era highs in 2024,FY2024 earnings forecastscall for Apple to

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  Tesla has been facing some serious challenges in 2023. In fact, one could argue that the company's fundamentals are weaker now than they were at the start of the year. For starters, revenue growth has slowed dramatically. In the third quarter, sales were up by just 9%. That's a long way from the growth of 71% and 51% posted in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Softer demand amid higher interest rates naturally gets in the way of consumers wanting to buy new cars, as their monthly payments increase and things become less affordable. Making matters worse, competition in the industry is only going to intensify. There are many other car companies out there working on their own EV product line-ups. And th

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$Electric car pioneer Tesla dropped from having the third-biggest selling model of any new vehicle player in September in Australia, to No.17 in October in a market where overall sales climbed by 16.9 percent compared with a year ago. The solid rise in sales of new vehicles comes at a time when households are more nervous about rising costs and the Reserve Bank of Australia keeps lifting rates to try to curb runaway inflation. The Ford Ranger ute displaced its long-time rival the Toyota HiLux as the No.1 selling vehicle of any type as the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries announced its latest monthly sales figures on Friday. There were 5628 Ford Rangers sold, and Toyota HiLux was No.2 at 4884. Un

$Apple(AAPL)$ With a diversified revenue stream, and an ability to adapt to new consumer trends, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will always be one of the strong tech stocks to bet on. Even Warren Buffett once said he continues to invest in Apple because of its brand, ecosystem, and strong economic moat. In addition, we have to consider that Apple is a global leader in innovation. Just look at the iPhone alone. First introduced to the public in 2007, it’s now one of the most popular mobile phones in the world, with a growing market share. Better, earnings have been solid. The company just beat expectations on revenue and profits, and it showed that global demand for its products is still high. In its fourth quarter, the company’

$Apple(AAPL)$“AAPL has executed well in a tough environment and its earnings power seems more sustainable than large-cap tech peers,” the 5-star analyst said. “We see a slightly above-average valuation vs. peers as fair when we compare AAPL’s total growth potential and earnings power with the growth expectations of the peer group. With steady gross and operating margins and a solid balance sheet, we see the potential reward from stock outperformance as skewed positively when compared with the company’s risk profile.”

$Netflix(NFLX)$While Netflix waits for subsequent seasons of its hard-hitting series to boost memberships, the next likely push for subscriber growth will be the introduction of its ad-supported tier. The company announced its venture into ads in early 2022, partnering with Microsoft to get the job done. As ad-supported streaming options have grown in popularity, the move is positive for the company and potentially opens up a market of people who previously saw the platform as too expensive. However, the ad initiative will not come into effect until at least early 2023 -- leaving less to boost Q3 2022.Additionally, a recent study from Civic Science has shown that ad-supported options are more likely to attract existing Netflix subscribers than new

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$Personal finance company SoFi submitted an impressive Q3'22 earnings on Wednesday, but shares unfortunately dropped about 11% as the market sold off. The fintech made massive progress regarding the growth of its ecosystem and the resumption of student loan payments nextyear could be a big catalyst for SoFi's EBITDA growth. Due to strong momentum regarding customer acquisition and lending and financial services product growth, the outlook for the SoFi platform and the stock is bright. Despite good earnings, shares have skidded due the Federal Reserve raising interest rates yet again. I believe shares of SoFi have an attractive risk/reward trade-off and are most likely undervalued!

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$Today, investors are celebrating TSLA stock averting a potential negative catalyst. But while they do, it is important to keep in the mind the effect of Tesla selling off so much Bitcoin. Elon Musk has long been a vocal supporter of the crypto. In July 2021, he stated, “I might pump, but I don’t dump … I don’t believe in getting the price high and selling, and I would like to see Bitcoin succeed.”Tesla reminded investors of its commitment to the crypto during its Q1 earnings report. “We believe in the long-term potential of digital assets both as an investment and also as a liquid alternative to cash,” it said. Shortly thereafter, Musk tweeted he would not be selling his crypto holdings.This doesn’t mean that Musk has necessari

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$Tesla Inc. shareholders cleared the way Thursday for the company to complete its second stock split in about two years, based on a preliminary vote count.Elon Musk's electric-vehicle maker, whose stock price has roughly tripled in the past two years, is planning a 3-for-1 stock split that the company has said is designed to make ownership more accessible to employees and individual investors. Tesla needed shareholders to sign off on issuing the new shares to complete the split. The move wouldn't affect the company's market value, which topped $960 billion as of Thursday.That proposal was among more than a dozen facing investor consideration at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, held at the company's A

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$Nio Mauled by Grizzly ResearchIn a scathing report issued on June 28, Grizzly Research accused Nio of cooking its books to continually beat Wall Street forecasts for its earnings and sales. Specifically, Grizzly Research claims that Nio uses affiliate Wuhan Weineng to juice its numbers.Nio famously runs a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) program where consumers who purchase Nio vehicles pay a subscription fee to swap depleted batteries for fresh ones rather than shell out big bucks for at-home battery charging infrastructure. However, it is Wuhan Weineng, not Nio, that rents the batteries to Nio vehicle owners. Nio sells the needed batteries to Wuhan Weineng and records the sales as revenue.Following an investigation, Grizzly Research all
