Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) investor Ross Gerber shared footage of protesters outside a Tesla store in Santa Monica, highlighting growing public backlash against the electric vehicle maker amid CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s political activities.
What Happened: &#8220;Guess the Tesla takeover was in Santa Monica today. My wife ran into this peaceful display of distaste for Elon Musk in front of the Tesla store,&#8221; Gerber wrote Sunday on X. The video concludes with the voice of his 9-year-old child saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we don&#8217;t have a Tesla.&#8221;
Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, has grown increasingly critical of Tesla despite his long-standing investment in the company. In a recent interview, he stated <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44321998/why-ross-gerber-finds-tesla-stock-expensive-despite-its-50-plunge-fundamental-story-has-to-be-revalued">Tesla shares remain overvalued</a> even after plunging nearly 50% since mid-December.
&#8220;There&#8217;s this game that is happening now where the fundamental story has to be revalued,&#8221; Gerber said, noting Tesla&#8217;s forward price-to-earnings ratio of 65 remains more than triple the S&amp;P 500 average.

Why It Matters: The protests come amid escalating tensions surrounding Musk&#8217;s dual role as Tesla CEO and leader of the Department of Government Efficiency in President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration. Demonstrations have <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42028821/amazon-india-to-shift-headquarters-to-bengalurus-outskirts-to-cut-costs">occurred at Tesla showrooms</a> across the U.S., with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently calling for an FBI investigation into what she termed &#8220;organized attacks&#8221; on Tesla facilities.
Gerber previously indicated he would &#8220;eventually&#8221; sell his Cybertruck, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43761581/ross-gerber-says-hes-eventually-selling-his-cybertruck-because-the-hate-is-real-as-protests-rock-tesla-showrooms">writing in February</a> that &#8220;the hate is real&#8221; after spotting a vandalized vehicle. Public figures like singer Sheryl Crow have publicly documented selling their Teslas over political disagreements with Musk.
Tesla&#8217;s challenges extend internationally, with German sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44295808/tesla-braces-for-lowest-quarterly-deliveries-since-2022-jpmorgan-predicts-a-brand-has-lost-so-much-value-so-quickly">reportedly dropping 60% year-over-year in January</a> following Musk&#8217;s support for far-right political groups. JPMorgan Chase analysts warned Wednesday that Tesla &#8220;lost too much brand value too quickly&#8221; and could face its lowest quarterly deliveries since 2022.
The company reported its first-ever annual sales decline in 2024, though Musk pledged Tuesday that Tesla would double its U.S. vehicle production over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346423/teslas-biggest-bull-frustrated-with-elon-musks-focus-on-doge-over-company-patience-wearing-thin">the next two years</a>.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) continues to trade at elevated valuation levels despite Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. significantly reducing its stake in the iPhone maker, according to a prominent market analyst.
What Happened: Lawrence McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, highlighted concerns about Apple&#8217;s current price-to-sales ratio in a post on X on Sunday. 
&#8220;Think about your 401k and Apple, its (S&amp;P 500) Top holding — From 2005 to 2020, Apple traded between a 2 and 5 handle price to sales. On Christmas Eve, she peaked at 10.2x sales and now sits—After Buffett dumped nearly 70% of his shares—at 8.2x,&#8221; McDonald wrote.
The price-to-sales ratio measures a company&#8217;s market cap relative to revenue, showing how much investors pay per dollar of sales. Apple&#8217;s current 8.2x P/S far exceeds its historical 2-5x range, a premium it began surpassing after June 2020, according <a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/inr/apple/ps-ratio/">to</a> CompaniesMarketCap
McDonald warned that the growing influence of passive index funds is damaging the market&#8217;s ability to price stocks efficiently, with Apple being a prime example.

Why It Matters: The comments come after Buffett&#8217;s dramatic reduction in Berkshire&#8217;s Apple holdings over the past year. Berkshire held 905.6 million Apple shares valued at approximately $174 billion at the start of 2024 but sold 116.2 million shares in the first quarter and an additional 389.7 million in the second quarter. 
By the end of the third quarter, Buffett had further reduced the position to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41428505/warren-buffett-may-have-missed-out-on-23m-worth-of-profits-after-selling-apple-stocks-report">around 300 million shares</a>.
The valuation concerns and China sales troubles have impacted Apple&#8217;s stock performance. While AAPL gained 14.8% over the past year, it significantly underperformed the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 25.6% rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43198776/will-warren-buffett-sell-more-apple-stock-after-iphone-sales-drop-in-china">during the same period</a>.

What Happened: iRobot, the company behind the iconic Roomba vacuum, is facing mounting pressure from Chinese tech manufacturers such as Roborock, Ecovacs, Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>), and Dreame Technology, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/China-tech/Chinese-robot-vacuums-leave-Roomba-in-the-dust-with-arms-and-legs">reported</a> Nikkei Asia.

Why It's Important: On Wednesday, it reported a 44% year-over-year <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44274332/why-consumer-robot-maker-irobots-stocks-are-plunging-today">drop in fourth-quarter sales</a>, totaling $172.03 million, surpassing the analyst consensus forecast of $171.00 million.
The company revealed significant uncertainty about its ability to sustain operations for at least 12 months following the release of its consolidated 2024 financial statements.
