From Nasdaq: 2025-02-25 20:10:55

Tesla’s shares plummeted 8%, causing its market value to fall below $1 trillion for the first time since November. A 45% drop in European sales highlighted challenges for the electric carmaker, prompting concerns about CEO Elon Musk’s divided attention and the company’s aggressive valuation at 112 times expected earnings.

Investors worry about Tesla’s ability to compete with traditional automakers like General Motors and Ford, as well as global players such as Volkswagen and Hyundai. The company faces pressure to introduce lower-priced models and enhance autonomous technology amid a global surge in EV demand. Market watchers await Tesla’s strategic responses to stabilize sales and restore market confidence.
