Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is trading at around $663.90 at press time. The price is a drop of 42% from the highs it hit at the end of March. Within a month, the stock has shed at least 33%, and more weakness is expected.
Tesla seemed to have countered the macro-economic turmoil better than peers as it hit above $1,150 in March. The concerns are now on Tesla, with persistent supply chain bottlenecks weighing on the stock. Morgan Stanley has since issued a note saying that Tesla will not meet delivery estimates for the second quarter.
Tesla’s Shanghai factory is not spared either by Covid-19. Covid-19 outbreaks have led to several production disruptions at the facility, and this has weighed on the stock.
Besides the macro-economic turmoil, Tesla seems to be hit by the actions of CEO Elon Musk. The stock weakness has been heightened by the potential Twitter acquisition. Investors grew concerned over how Musk will finance the $44 billion deal. As if that’s not enough, Musk called ESG investing a “scam,” which hurt the stock sentiment. The spat followed the exclusion of Tesla from the S&P 500 ESG index.
