Tesla's stock fell as much as 7% on Tuesday after Chinese rival BYD revealed new battery tech.
The article from MSN Money discusses four reasons behind Tesla's significant stock price drop, which saw a decline of over 53% from its peak. Firstly, Tesla's Q3 earnings missed Wall Street expectations, with both revenue and earnings per share falling short, leading to a sharp sell-off. Secondly, Elon Musk's focus on Twitter, where he has been spending considerable time since acquiring it, has raised concerns about his divided attention from Tesla. Thirdly, broader economic conditions like rising interest rates and fears of a recession are impacting high-growth tech stocks like Tesla, making investors wary. Lastly, increased competition in the electric vehicle market, particularly from Chinese manufacturers, is putting pressure on Tesla's market share and pricing power. These factors combined have accelerated the decline in Tesla's stock value.
