'US House Is Likely to Kill EV Tax Credit, Speaker Johnson Says'- Bloomberg

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stock is trading lower amid reports that new car sales in the U.K. and Germany hit two-year lows.
What To Know: According to Reuters, Tesla&#8217;s new car sales in April plunged 62% year-over-year in the U.K., while sales in Germany dropped 45.9%.
The company sold 536 new cars in the U.K. in April, down from 1,404 during the same month in 2024. Overall electric vehicle registrations in Britain rose 6.9% in April.
In Germany, Tesla sold 885 cars last month. From January to April 2025, the company sold 5,820 vehicles, marking a 60.4% year-over-year decline. Electric vehicle registrations in Germany surged 53.5% in April.
What Else: According to <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/05/tesla-cybertruck-inventory-skyrockets-to-record-high/">Electrek</a>, Tesla currently has about 10,000 units of its Cybertruck in inventory. At the start of 2025, Electrek reported the company had approximately 2,400 units in stock.
Tesla shares may be under pressure as investors weigh the company&#8217;s performance against competitors in expanding electric vehicle markets. The recent buildup in Cybertruck inventory compared to the start of the year may also be raising concerns about demand or production efficiency.

Tesla Stock Slips Amid European Sales Drop, Cybertruck Inventory Build

WIIM

Tesla shares are trading lower amid reports that new car sales in the UK and Germany hit two-year lows. An additional report stated the company has over 10,000 units of Cybertruck inventory.

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) European woes continue to pose a problem for Elon Musk&#8217;s EV giant as sales in the UK and Germany hit new lows.
What Happened: Sales for the company's vehicles fell by over 62% in the UK compared to last year and declined 46% YoY in Germany, according to a report published by Reuters on Tuesday.
This decline in sales follows a trend for the company in Europe, with sales plunging in some other markets within the region. Tesla's share in the European market also declined to 2%, from 2.9% last year.
Why It Matters: Musk's company sold over 512 vehicles in April, compared to 1,352 units last year in the UK. Interestingly, Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45192200/teslas-european-woes-deepen-as-new-car-sales-for-april-plunge-in-spain-as-chinese-rivals-soar">sold over 571 units</a> in Spain, a 36% decline, according to data released by experts.
Tesla's sales in the region have taken a hit in Europe, even as EVs have seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44975755/tesla-sales-decline-28-in-europe-as-ev-car-market-experiences-growth-report">greater adoption from drivers</a> in the region. Sales for BEVs rose 17.1% in the region, ACEA data shows.
The company also faces stiff competition from rivals in the region, with Chinese EV giant BYD Co. Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/05/45202597/tesla-stock-falls-on-european-sales-decline-rising-competition-whats-going-on">triple-digit growth</a> in sales. BYD also pivoted its European strategy earlier and is all set to produce vehicles in the region with a manufacturing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45097773/satellite-images-put-tesla-rival-byds-hungarian-factory-capable-of-producing-200k-units-annually-in-the-spotlight">facility in Hungary</a>.
The decline in sales for Tesla comes as Musk's endorsement of far-right political ideals has resulted in backlash against the billionaire as well as his company's products being at the receiving end of vandalism.

Tesla New Car Sales Hit 2-Year Low In UK, Germany As European Woes Continue

President Donald Trump&#8216;s sweeping budget package faces a bumpy road in Congress as Republican lawmakers work to meet House Speaker Mike Johnson&#8216;s Memorial Day deadline, balancing tax cuts with spending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44916245/congress-could-greenlight-trumps-big-beautiful-tax-bill-by-summer-things-are-moving-very-very-quickly-says-hassett">priorities that have divided the party</a>.
What Happened: The ambitious &#8220;one big, beautiful bill&#8221; combines tax breaks, spending cuts and increased border security funding, with House committees approving portions largely along party lines. Republicans have made most progress on spending increases, approving approximately $350 billion for the Pentagon and Homeland Security, while tax cuts remain unfinished, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-big-bill-tax-cuts-medicaid-1c893945b416419d806dacb6d24b895a">reported</a> the Associated Press on Monday.
&#8220;There are some bumps in the road,&#8221; acknowledged Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, on Fox News Sunday.
The immigration portion includes $46.5 billion for border wall construction and $4 billion to hire 3,000 new Border Patrol agents. The plan aims to deport 1 million migrants annually and imposes new fees, including a controversial $1,000 charge for asylum seekers.
Defense spending would increase by $150 billion, including $25 billion for Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Golden Dome&#8221; missile defense system and $21 billion to restock ammunition supplies.

What Happened: Trump has drawn <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/04/45064937/donald-trump-threatens-to-veto-any-gop-bill-that-touches-medicaid-or-social-security-if-it-cuts-it-i-would-not-approve">clear boundaries for negotiators</a>, telling TIME Magazine he would veto any bill cutting Social Security or Medicaid. &#8220;If it cuts it, I would not approve,&#8221; Trump said, limiting changes to efforts targeting &#8220;waste, fraud and abuse.&#8221;
Trump has also expressed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45107801/trumps-proposed-millionaires-tax-draws-fierce-gop-pushback-doing-so-would-be-political-death-experts">openness to increasing taxes on millionaires</a>, sparking fierce opposition from conservatives. Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist called it a &#8220;really bad idea,&#8221; warning such a move could be &#8220;political death&#8221; for Trump.
According to the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43574215/trumps-tax-plans-could-slash-revenue-by-11-trillion">Trump&#8217;s proposed tax cuts</a> could reduce federal revenue by up to $11.2 trillion over the next decade, potentially pushing U.S. debt to 149% of GDP without offsetting spending reductions.
If House Republicans manage to pass their version, the legislation will face additional hurdles in the Senate, which is drafting its own package with hopes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/04/45064937/donald-trump-threatens-to-veto-any-gop-bill-that-touches-medicaid-or-social-security-if-it-cuts-it-i-would-not-approve">finalizing it before the August recess</a>.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has promised to fight what he calls the &#8220;extreme Republican agenda.&#8221;

What Happened: Elon Musk's EV giant could be sitting on over $800 million worth of Cybertruck inventory, according <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/05/tesla-cybertruck-inventory-skyrockets-to-record-high/">to</a> an Electrek report on Monday.
The report suggests that despite there not being a way to track Tesla units in the U.S., listings of Tesla models can be tracked. The report also outlines how Tesla may publish a single listing for multiple vehicles at the same location with the same features, which could indicate the company has more inventory.
Tesla did not immediately respond to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga's</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Tesla has been grappling with declining sales figures in the U.S. as well as Europe. The company's market share in Europe currently stands at 2%, down from 2.9% last year, and it registered 571 units sold in Spain, according to experts.
Cybertruck also went through a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44967503/cybertruck-gets-a-down-to-earth-redesign-as-tesla-shifts-to-traditional-pickup-marketing-amid-poor-s">shift in marketing strategy</a>, which positions the vehicle as a capable, rugged pickup truck and expands on its utilitarian quotient. The company also released a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">cheaper, RWD variant </a>of the Cybertruck to appeal to a wider customer base.
Tesla's new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44857987/tesla-experiences-151-decline-in-new-vehicle-registrations-in-california-report">vehicle registrations </a>also fell in California, and the company's profits declined by over 71% YoY. This comes at a time when the company was reportedly exploring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">a future without Musk</a>, which both the billionaire as well as the company have categorically denied.
Price Action: TSLA currently trades for $280.26 on the NASDAQ, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Tesla Has Over 10,000 Units Of Unsold Cybertrucks In Its US Inventory Amid Poor Sales: Report

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares fell 2.42% on Monday as investors digested troubling European sales data and a prominent fund manager&#8217;s warning about the company&#8217;s growth trajectory.
What Happened: Gary Black, Managing Partner at Future Fund, highlighted alarming sales trends in a post on X, noting that April European sales are projected to drop 47% year-over-year. Black emphasized that this decline can no longer be attributed to Model Y production changes.
&#8220;We predict that FY&#8217;25 Tesla deliveries will be -6% year-over-year versus FY&#8217;24,&#8221; Black wrote, compared to Wall Street&#8217;s estimated 3% decline.
The fund manager expressed concern that Tesla&#8217;s current valuation appears disconnected from its projected earnings. He pointed out that the stock is trading at a significantly higher multiple than its historical average, with its price reflecting over 130 times estimated non-GAAP earnings for fiscal 2025 and more than 90 times for fiscal 2026.
In comparison, Tesla&#8217;s average one-year forward price-to-earnings ratio over the past three years has been around 76 times.

Despite gaining 23% in April, Tesla shares remain down over 26.11% year-to-date.

Gary Black Flags 47% Projected Drop In Tesla's April Europe Sales, Predicts 6% Decline In 2025 Deliveries

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk shared a host of updates, outlining what he believes the future holds for the billionaire's ventures, including TSLA, SpaceX, and Neuralink.
What Happened: "It's a company that I've grown and nurtured over twenty years," Musk said about Tesla in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
"Tesla in a few months will release Unsupervised Full Self-Driving," Musk said before sharing that the Unsupervised FSD tech will first see application in Austin, Texas, before being rolled out to the rest of the U.S.
"In fact, in the future, it'll be unusual to see a manually-driven car. It'll be like seeing a horse," Musk said, highlighting his optimism for the technology's far-reaching impacts.
He then shared an update on Tesla's Optimus line of humanoid robots, calling it a "personal R2D2 or a C3PO robot buddy" and predicted it'll be a "massive, massive product."
Musk went on to reiterate his ambitions of setting up a city on Mars with SpaceX before sharing an update about Neuralink's BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) called Blindsight, which the billionaire says will help blind people see, including those who have been blind from birth.
"Hopefully we'll be able to do the first Blindsight implant in a human later this year, within the next 12 months, I'm quite confident we can do that," Musk said. He also shared how the company hopes to begin work on a Neuralink implant, which will help people with a "severed spinal column to walk again."
Why It Matters: Musk's comments in the interview come as Tesla will begin its robotaxi operations in June. The company has already released the robotaxi in a limited rollout and completed over 1,500 trips.&nbsp;
Tesla and other U.S.-based autonomous driving companies also got a boost from the Trump administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45001024/trump-administration-announces-exemptions-for-autonomous-driving-companies-in-the-us-eases-self-driving-crash-report-requirements">through exemptions</a> in the U.S. auto safety standards.
However, Tesla continues to experience difficulties as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45192200/teslas-european-woes-deepen-as-new-car-sales-for-april-plunge-in-spain-as-chinese-rivals-soar">company's sales plunge</a> in Europe, as the company registered 571 vehicles in Spain, according to data released by ANFAC.
Elsewhere, Musk's SpaceX added over 28 satellites to its low Earth orbit constellation of Starlink space-based internet services. However, experts have raised concerns about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45163320/as-elon-musks-spacex-adds-28-starlinks-research-flags-climate-impact-from-deorbiting-satellites">the ecological impacts</a> of the satellites deorbiting and reentering the Earth's atmosphere.
Interestingly, NASA is facing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45189017/nasa-prepares-for-6-billion-budget-cut-amid-shift-towards-elon-musks-mars-focused-initiatives">$6 billion budget cut</a> from the Trump administration, as well as a shift towards Mars-focused ventures, which could be a boost for Musk and SpaceX.

Tesla's Elon Musk Says Manually-Driven Cars Will Be 'Unusual' In The Future, Shares Updates On SpaceX, Neuralink

Economist Peter Schiff is challenging conventional wisdom that China needs the United States more than vice versa, questioning just how essential U.S. consumer demand really is for China&#8217;s manufacturing engine, amid a surge in the global middle-class consumer base.
What Happened: On Sunday, Schiff, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump's tariff policies, pushed back against a growing pro-tariff narrative that claims China has no alternative buyers for its manufactured goods besides American consumers, in a post on X.
&#8220;It's said there's no way China can find buyers for its manufactured goods without U.S. consumers,&#8221; Schiff said. &#8220;But we're only 4% of the world's population.&#8221;

But we&#39;re only 4% of the world&#39;s population. If the dollar&#39;s exchange rate dropped by 50%, the savings and incomes of the other 96% would double, empowering China&#39;s other customers.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Schiff contends that the true constraint on global consumption is the artificially inflated U.S. dollar. He argues that if the dollar were to depreciate by 50% against a basket of global currencies, &#8220;the savings and incomes of the other 96% would double,&#8221; boosting the purchasing power of China's &#8220;other customers.&#8221;

He explains this further by stating that demand in the U.S. is a function of the Dollar&#8217;s exchange rate. &#8220;If the dollar falls relative to other currencies, the purchasing power of Americans is transferred abroad,&#8221; Schiff says. In other words, as the dollar weakens, consumers in other countries gain greater purchasing power.

This was in response to an article on X by hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, regarding how &#8220;the United States&#8217; role as the world&#8217;s biggest consumer of manufactured goods and greatest producer of debt assets to finance its over-consumption is unsustainable.&#8221;

Schiff has repeatedly argued that a strong yuan and a weaker U.S. dollar may actually benefit Beijing by boosting domestic consumption, countering the narrative that China would <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/04/44805832/peter-schiff-counters-claims-china-wont-sell-us-treasuries-fearing-strong-currency-but-a-strong-yuan-might-suit-beijing">avoid dumping U.S. Treasuries</a> to protect its own economy.

Peter Schiff Challenges US Dominance After Elon Musk's China Consumption Narrative — A 50% Drop In The Dollar Could Supercharge China's Global Consumer Base

On Monday, ChatGPT-parent OpenAI said that it will retain its nonprofit parent's control over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44066117/elon-musk-battles-openai-over-move-to-for-profit-model-and-experts-are-pushing-back">its for-profit operations</a>, scaling back a plan to transition fully to a public benefit corporation amid mounting legal pressure and investor concerns.
What Happened: In a letter to OpenAI's employees that was shared in a blog post, Altman said that public benefit corporations have become the go-to for-profit model for AGI labs such as Anthropic and xAI, as well as mission-driven companies like Patagonia.&nbsp;
"OpenAI was founded as a non-profit, is today a non-profit that oversees and controls the for-profit, and going forward will remain a non-profit that oversees and controls the for-profit. That will not change," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a blog post.

Earlier this year, OpenAI announced that it plans to raise up to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44580172/openai-finalizes-historic-40-billion-funding-round-valuing-company-at-300-billion-with-backing-from-softbank-and-microsoft">$40 billion in a round led by</a> SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) at a $300 billion valuation. That round was reportedly contingent on OpenAI transitioning to a for-profit model by year-end.
In a call with reporters, Altman hinted that he new structure does not jeopardize those plans, reported Reuters.
He added that OpenAI would continue working with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), regulators and newly appointed nonprofit commissioners to finalize the plan.
OpenAI Board Chair Bret Taylor said the updated approach follows discussions with civic leaders and the Attorneys General of California and Delaware.

Why It's Important: The decision marks a shift from OpenAI's earlier proposal, which would have ceded control of the company's for-profit arm to shareholders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43185661/openai-struggles-to-value-microsoft-stake-as-it-looks-to-transition-to-for-profit-entity-as-trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-project-kicks-off-report">under a public benefit corporation</a> structure.
That plan would have allowed for greater capital-raising flexibility but sparked criticism over whether OpenAI was drifting from its founding mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
Instead, the nonprofit will continue to oversee the for-profit OpenAI LP while also becoming a significant shareholder in it.
The change also comes as OpenAI faces a lawsuit from co-founder and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk, who accused the company of abandoning its nonprofit mission. A jury trial in that case is scheduled for March 2026.
A Musk-led consortium previously made a $97.4 billion acquisition offer for OpenAI, which CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43622400/sam-altman-says-elon-musks-97b-bid-for-openai-is-a-move-to-slow-down-a-competitor">Altman promptly rejected</a>.

OpenAI Reverses Course As Sam Altman Says Nonprofit Will Remain In Control Amid Elon Musk's Lawsuit And Investor Pushback

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become the world's second-richest person, overtaking Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder Jeff Bezos.
What Happened: Zuckerberg's net worth has climbed to $212 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, after Meta shares jumped more than 16% over the past month, outperforming the S&amp;P 500's 11.52% gain.
Amazon stock rose just 6.33% in the same period, keeping Bezos' net worth at $209 billion.
On Monday, Zuckerberg gained $846 million, while Bezos lost $2.90 billion, the data showed.

Zuckerberg, on the other hand, was the only gainer among the top three, adding $846 million to his as of the last change and $4.63 billion year to date.

Why It's Important: On May 1, Meta reported first-quarter revenue of $42.31 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $41.39 billion. For the second quarter, the company expects revenue between $42.5 billion and $45.5 billion, compared to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro's</a> estimate of $44.06 billion.
Price Action: Meta shares are up just 0.01% year-to-date but have climbed 28.69% over the past 12 months. On Monday, the stock rose 0.38% during regular trading but slipped 0.36% after hours, settling at $597.10.
Meta currently holds a consensus price target of $704.19, based on assessments from 43 analysts. The highest target comes from Tigress Financial, which set a price of $935 on Feb. 11, 2025, while the lowest was issued by Scotiabank at $525 on April 21.
The three most recent analyst updates by RBC Capital, Morgan Stanley, and JMP Securities set an average price target of $713.33. That figure suggests a potential upside of 19.47% from Meta&#8217;s current trading level.
Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings assigns Meta a strong growth score of 74.97%, highlighting its solid performance.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound"> Click here to see how it stacks up against</a> Amazon and Tesla.

Mark Zuckerberg Overtakes Jeff Bezos To Become World's Second-Richest Person As Meta Stock Soars

BofA Securities analyst Justin Post <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UBER/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained a Buy</a> rating on Uber Technologies, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) with a price target of $96, up from $95 on Sunday.
Uber will report its quarterly earnings results on May 7 before the market opens.
For the first quarter, Post&#8217;s bookings and revenue estimates were $43.5 billion, and $11.73 billion were higher than the Street estimates of $42.9 billion and $11.62 billion.

The analysts&#8217; EBITDA estimate of $1.89 billion was higher than Street&#8217;s estimate of $1.84 billion. He noted that Instacart&#8217;s results and stable growth outlook were positive for Uber Delivery in the U.S.
For Mobility, Post projected bookings growth of 21% ex-foreign-exchange, which is more of a deceleration than BAC card data, which indicates Online Transit spend was stable sequentially.
Post remained constructive on New Verticals&#8217; contribution to growth as Uber invests into new customers and products like Uber Teen or autonomous vehicles.
However, the analyst recently flagged some softer TSA data on U.S. airport activity, so U.S. travel-related trips on Uber could see some modest near-term pressure.
Post also noted that U.S. Rideshare industry pricing data from Bloomberg has pointed to a deceleration in Uber ride pricing. The analyst projected stable 18% ex-foreign exchange growth for Delivery, while BAC card data suggests Online Delivery growth decelerated 1 point versus the fourth quarter.
He is constructive on Uber&#8217;s Grocery &amp; Retail segment, which is estimated to add 2 points to growth in the first quarter as Uber signs deals with brands previously reluctant to partner with 3P apps.
Post expects the tone on autonomous vehicles to be very constructive. Waymos launched exclusively on the Uber app in Austin at the beginning of March. Uber handles matching and fleet management services, while Waymo operates in-car software and roadside assistance.
Early data coming out of Austin and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s recent earnings call comments suggest the ramp is going well, but noted that Uber may also be leaning into tools to boost autonomous vehicle adoption.
Post also expects Uber to highlight its recent partnership with Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) to deploy autonomous vehicles across multiple cities, starting in Los Angeles. Volkswagen&#8217;s AV, &#8220;ID. Buzz,&#8221; will begin testing in late 2025, with plans to offer rides to the public on Uber in 2026.
The partnership is Uber&#8217;s first major auto OEM partner, which can provide large-scale manufacturing capability that goes far beyond software-focused partners.
On Tesla Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) first-quarter earnings call, CEO Elon Musk reiterated his expectation that the company will begin fully autonomous paid rides in June in Austin. Longer-term, Post expects future Tesla launches to drive more Auto OEM AV development activity across the board and new partnerships with Uber.
Post projected second-quarter bookings of $47.65 billion (versus Street estimate of $45.79 billion) and revenue of $12.94 billion (versus Street estimate of $12.34 billion).
Price Actions: UBER stock closed higher by 1.36% to $85.43 on Monday.

Ahead Of Uber Earnings, Analyst Raises Forecast

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) could highlight the launch of a lower-priced Lucid Gravity vehicle and share how tariffs impact the company when the electric vehicle company reports first-quarter financial results after the market closes on<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> Tuesday.</a>
Here is a look at analyst earnings estimates and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Lucid to report first-quarter revenue of $250.0 million, up from $172.7 million in last year's first quarter, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0505">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in four straight quarters, beating estimates in only those four quarters out of the last ten quarters overall.
Analysts expect Lucid to report a loss of 23 cents per share in the quarter, an improvement from 30 cents per share in last year's first quarter.
The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in two straight quarters and four of the last 10 quarters.

Key Items to Watch: Lucid previously reported first-quarter deliveries of 3,199 vehicles, a company record and up 58% year over year.
The first quarter&#8217;s delivery momentum continued a strong 2024, which saw the company post four consecutive quarters of record deliveries.
The company&#8217;s guidance calls for the production of 20,000 vehicles in 2025. Analysts and investors will be looking to see if this guidance remains in place and if the company shares details on delivery guidance for 2025.
Lucid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44825160/whats-going-on-with-lucid-group-stock-on-tuesday">recently unveiled the</a> 2026 Lucid Gravity SUV, a three-row electric vehicle that could better compete with Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and other EV SUV makers. The new version starts at $94,900 with a lower-priced model expected to start at $79,900 and hit the market later this year.
Investors and analysts will be looking for more commentary on the impact of tariffs on Lucid. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff previously said the company will be affected by tariffs and is taking steps to lower the impact.
While tariffs could be negative for Lucid, one positive that could get traction in the earnings report and commentary is potential market share gains from rival Tesla.
Winteroff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44570246/whats-going-on-with-lucid-stock-today">previously said that</a> Lucid was seeing a sharp increase in orders for vehicles from former Tesla owners, which comes as some have grown tired of CEO Elon Musk's push into politics. Tesla vehicles have also been the subject of increased vandalism.
LCID Price Action: Lucid stock is down 5.75 to $2.38 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $1.93 to $4.43. Lucid stock is down 21.3% year-to-date in 2025.

Previews

Lucid Q1 Earnings Preview: Lower-Priced Vehicles, Tariff Concerns, Market Share Gains From Tesla, Top Items To Watch

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares are trading lower Monday after industry data showed a drop in new car sales in Spain, which appears to be adding to concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45192200/teslas-european-woes-deepen-as-new-car-sales-for-april-plunge-in-spain-as-chinese-rivals-soar">over European performance</a>.
What To Know: New registration data from Spanish industry group <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45192200/teslas-european-woes-deepen-as-new-car-sales-for-april-plunge-in-spain-as-chinese-rivals-soar">ANFAC</a> showed that Tesla sold 571 units in the country in April, down 36% on a year-over-year basis. 
Furthermore, sales over the first four months of the year declined 17% compared to the same period in 2024, while the broader electric vehicle category saw sales surge 54%, suggesting Tesla is not keeping pace with broader EV growth in the region.
Meanwhile, Chinese competitors such as BYD, MG and Omoda have posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45192200/teslas-european-woes-deepen-as-new-car-sales-for-april-plunge-in-spain-as-chinese-rivals-soar">triple-digit percentage gains</a> in the Spanish market so far this year, highlighting a shift in consumer preference. Tesla's share of the European market has reportedly slipped from 2.9% to 2% in just one year, compounding concerns for investors.
The broader sales declines comes amid CEO Elon Musk's polarizing political activity, which has led to public protests across Europe and vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles and infrastructure. Analysts have raised concerns over weakening brand strength on the back of Musk&#8217;s political involvement. 
Musk has said in recent weeks that he plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44955303/tesla-stock-is-ripping-higher-wednesday-whats-driving-the-action">scale back</a> direct involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to refocus on Tesla, which reported weak financial results last month. 
Total revenue fell 9% year-over-year in the first quarter as automotive revenue dropped 20% to $13.97 billion due to a decline in deliveries, Model Y updates and lower average selling prices. Tesla said it delivered 336,681 vehicles in the quarter, well below analyst estimates of 377,592 vehicles. 
Despite a strong rebound in Tesla's stock last month, where it gained over 23%, shares remain down more than 30% year-to-date. Reports surfaced last week suggesting that Tesla&#8217;s board was considering a replacement for Musk. Tesla quickly responded, calling the reports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45124373/tesla-board-explored-replacing-elon-musk-as-tesla-ceo-a-month-ago-report">&#8220;absolutely false.&#8221;</a>
&#8220;The CEO of Tesla is Elon Musk and the Board is highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead,&#8221; Tesla chairwoman Robyn Denholm said. 
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares were down 2.45% at $280.16 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Tesla Stock Falls On European Sales Decline, Rising Competition: What's Going On?

Shares of Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are trading lower Monday. But they continue to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/electric-vehicle">in a sideways trend</a>.
A classic ‘Flag' pattern may have formed on the chart. If so, it could be bullish for the shares and suggest the recent uptrend may soon get back into gear. This is why we have made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
Many traders and investors were surprised and confused when Tesla rallied after posting disappointing earnings. They didn't understand why the stock moved higher. But it was simply the result of supply and demand.
Because the numbers were widely anticipated to be bad, people sold or shorted shares before the release. So, by the time the earnings hit the tape, everyone who wanted to sell had done so. The market had run out of sellers.
And a market with no supply can only move higher. Those who wish to buy are forced to push the price up to get sellers interested and draw them into the market.

As you can see on the chart below, the move upwards was driven by a large amount of volume.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="570" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05133303/one-1024x570.png" alt="" class="wp-image-901949" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05133303/one-1024x570.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05133303/one-300x167.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05133303/one-768x428.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/05133303/one.png 1444w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
But some of the people who drove the price higher may have thought that the rally got ahead of itself. They thought that if they took a break and stepped out of the market for a few days, the stock price could decline and they could finish their buying at lower prices.
As a result of these buyers going to the sidelines, the volume that trades fell off. The sideways range that forms on the chart can end up looking like a flag, following a move higher that looks like a pole.
The flag pattern is a ‘continuation' pattern.
If the traders who drove the price higher see that their leaving the market hasn't resulted in the stock dropping, they will reenter the market and continue buying. This could force the stock into an uptrend and it may be about to happen with Tesla.
