US Top News and Analysis | Tesla shares fall after results. But this market speculation may keep the stock afloat for a while

Tesla’s shares slipped after the company reported a larger‑than‑expected capital‑expenditure increase, raising its annual cap‑ex plan to $25 billion. Wall Street analysts are focusing less on the earnings numbers and more on speculation that a possible merger with Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX—set to launch an IPO worth up to $2 trillion—could buoy the stock. Baird, Roth and Jeffries note that sentiment and Musk’s ambitious rollout of projects such as Cybertruck, autonomous taxis, energy storage and the new Terafab semiconductor fab are driving the market, while traditional valuation metrics are becoming less useful. The analysts warn that higher cap‑ex may push Tesla into negative free‑cash‑flow territory, but expect the SpaceX IPO and merger rumors to dominate short‑term trading and keep investor interest high.
