There are “no quick fixes” to Tesla’s problems, according to HSBC. Analyst Michael Tyndall reduced his price target on shares by $35 to $130. His new forecast suggests 52.2% downside potential for the stock from Wednesday’s close. “The seeds for the current sales weakness pre-date the recent brand issues,” Tyndall, who has a reduce rating on the stock, wrote in a note to clients Thursday. Tesla’s aging products with limited driving assistance technology have pressured the company in the China market, according to Tyndall. Meanwhile, the electric vehicle maker has struggled with European fleet buyers, which constitute 60% of the…

Now, it’s up at $272, representing a 15.5% gain. This means that any brave soul who invested £10k in the stock a week ago would now have about £11,550. Tesla defies logic Sticking with prime minister theme, let me trot out one last quote (from Winston Churchill): “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” To me,…
Image source: Getty Images The S&P 500 remains a focal point for investors hoping to navigate a confusing mishmash of political developments and tumultuous markets in 2025.

They offer a complex and often contrasting view of the market’s potential direction. Conflicting figures As Reuters notes, the US economy presents a paradoxical scenario. Despite forecasts of a slowdown in growth for 2025, Wall Street analysts project record-high corporate profits. According to the LSEG,…
Image source: Getty Images Everything’s relative, so while my Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) shares put on a solid show last year, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment. FTSE rivals Barclays (LSE: BARC) and NatWest did an awful lot better, doubling in value. Barclays’ impressive surge following a strategic overhaul which included cutting £2bn of costs to boost shareholder payouts by £10bn within three years. Snapping up Tesco Bank further boosted its domestic retail banking presence. At the same time, Lloyds got bogged down in the motor finance mis-selling scandal. This, according to some estimates, could cost it £3bn in…

Vu Trung Kien, director Climate Change Resilience Centre Countries like the US and the European Union are implementing stringent carbon regulations, such as the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and increasing scrutiny on supply chain emissions. Vietnamese businesses that fail to adopt carbon labelling risk losing access to lucrative markets. However, those that proactively integrate carbon footprint transparency into their products can gain a competitive advantage, enhance brand reputation, and secure long-term profitability. Across the world, forward-thinking countries have embraced carbon labelling as a strategic tool for trade success. These efforts have not only helped businesses comply with regulations but…
Image source: Getty Images Despite the heightened interest in renewables, since March 2020, the FTSE 250’s three solar energy funds have under-performed the wider market. As a result, they now trade at a significant discount to their net asset values. And their yields are all close to — or in excess of — double figures. Difficult times The directors of Foresight Solar Fund (LSE:FSFL) are particularly frustrated at the failure (as they would see it) of investors to recognise the underlying value of its assets. They are now considering various strategic options and recently said: “The Board is of the…
