消息指 SpaceX 或向 xAI 注資 20 億美元，Elon Musk 旗下公司人、財不停交換
此次 20 億美元出資將成為 SpaceX 首次對 xAI 的投資，也是其迄今為止向外部公司投入的最大單筆資金之一。值得注意的是，SpaceX 已在其 Starlink 網絡服務中採用 xAI 的聊天機器人 Grok 提升客戶服務體驗，並計劃在更多業務上展開合作。
Elon Musk 並非首次如此「左手交右手」，最著名的先例是 2016 年 Tesla 以 26 億美元全股票交易收購太陽能設備公司 SolarCity。SolarCity 由 Musk 堂兄 Peter 及 Lyndon Rive 創辦，Musk 本人為 SolarCity 董事會主席並持股 22%。
此外，SpaceX 也是 Elon Musk 用於壯大其他旗下公司的工具，包括早年曾藉此為 Tesla 借得 2,000 萬美元；掘隧道公司 The Boring Company 也據指有使用到 SpaceX 的儀器；甚至是收購 Twitter 時就借得過 10 億美元短期貸款。

Tesla Stock Rises as U.S. Hits China With 160% Graphite Tariff
July 18 - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares surged on Friday as investors assessed new trade restrictions targeting a critical electric vehicle battery input. The stock rose 3%, extending gains for the week. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were little changed. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with BZAI. The U.S. Commerce Department on Thursday imposed a 93.5% anti-dumping duty on specific graphite imports from China, following a determination that the material was being sold below market value. The penalty adds to existing tariffs, lifting the total levy on some graphite products to as much as 160%. Graphite is a core component in EV batteries, with each car using an estimated 100 to 200 pounds. China remains the world's dominant supplier, contributing around 75% of global output in 2024, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Higher import costs could push up battery production expenses, but analysts suggest the overall effect on EV pricing will be limited. The new tariffs come alongside other policy changes impacting the EV sector, including the loss of the $7,500 federal tax credit for some buyers. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Tesla Just Lost Another Sales Exec. How Should You Play TSLA Stock Now Before July 23?
Tesla (TSLA) is back in focus following the abrupt departure of its highest-ranking sales and delivery executive for North America, Troy Jones. It is the latest of several high-profile executive departures that have come as the electric car pioneer struggles to overcome sluggish sales and growing investor angst. The automanufacturer is experiencing a tumultuous 2025 as its auto sales have fallen in key markets and as CEO Elon Musk's political involvements create reputational damage. Tesla's delivery miss in Q2 has further raised questions about its ability to recover demand and preserve margins. More News from Barchart Insider Trading Alert: Here's Who Bought Nvidia and AMD Stock Before the U.S. Chip Deal with China Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for July 23 Robinhood Keeps Hitting New Highs. How Should You Play HOOD Stock Here? Get exclusive insights with the FREE Barchart Brief newsletter. Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. In the days leading up to July 23 earnings, everyone is eager to know if the company can reframe its story, or if leadership shuffles are merely the beginning of its structural issues. About Tesla Stock Currently valued at $1 trillion, Tesla (TSLA) is a true giant in the electric vehicle and clean energy industry. However, that has not protected it from volatility. In the last 52 weeks, TSLA has varied between $182.00 and $488.54. Shares are currently trading at the $330 level, down more than 30% from their 52-week high and down 19% in the year to date. Tesla has a price-earnings multiple of 244.77x and price-sales multiple of 10.61x, significantly above its industry peers. Despite the very high valuation, profit margins are stretched at 7.3%, and year-over-year net earnings fell 71% last quarter. These high multiples, once justified by hypergrowth expectations, appear stretched now as sales decline and demand dips. Tesla stock, on most comparisons, is pricey based on its growth profile. Tesla Misses on Earnings Tesla's Q1 2025 earnings missed Wall Street expectations across the board. Adjusted EPS came out as $0.27, way below the predicted $0.39, and revenue equaled $19.34 billion, lower than the forecasted $21.11 billion. Vehicle revenue decreased 20% year-over-year to $14 billion, due to declining Model 3 and Model Y deliveries and increasing price competition. Net earnings fell to $409 million, down significantly from $1.39 billion for the same quarter last year. Operating earnings fell 66%, as operating margins fell to 2.1%, the lowest since Q1 2020. Management attributed the miss to seasonal factory line updates for the upgraded Model Y, as well as sturdier sales incentives and weaker price power. Still, the company gave no conclusive 2025 forecast and only said that it would 'revisit' estimates in its July 23 Q2 earnings report. Tesla is pressing ahead with its Austin robotaxi pilot and is due to begin assembling humanoid robots later this year. What Analysts Foresee for Tesla Stock Tesla earns a 'Hold' rating consensus. Long-term conviction in its innovation pipeline persists, but sentiment has deteriorated for the near term. Tesla's mean price target is $296, which is 10% down from its current trading price. Such an outlook, combined with mixed sentiment and slowing delivery growth, argues that the market is waiting for Tesla to reassert an appealing growth story before re-rating the shares.

JPMorgan pushes into private company coverage as Wall Street eyes growing opportunity
"This new offering aims to expand our coverage and research into private companies, where we continue to see growing influence and interest from our clients," Hussein Malik, the bank's head of global research, said in an internal memo. "Importantly, private companies are becoming increasingly relevant to various industries, especially in the new economy space," the memo said. The move comes as more company founders and boards choose to stay private longer. The median age of a private company going public has increased from 6.9 years a decade ago to 10.7 years today, according to Morningstar. A major factor behind the decline is the surge in funding for companies like OpenAI and SpaceX, fueled by the rise of private equity and venture capital. Pitchbook estimates that there are $18.7 trillion assets in private markets, including venture capital and private equity — a figure that will reach $24 trillion by the end of 2029. "With approximately 1,200 private companies in the US achieving unicorn status between 2020 and 2023—a notable increase from around 330 between 2016 and 2019—their growing influence on the economy and markets is clear," Malik said in a separate memo to clients. Malik said understanding the private markets has now become key to properly assessing publicly traded companies. "Understanding their impact is and will remain crucial for both public and private market investors to make informed investment decisions," he added. Jamie Dimon has long lamented what he has called "the diminishing role of publicly traded companies in the American financial system." In a 2023 letter to investors, he said the number of US public companies had declined to 4,300 from a peak of 7,300 in 1996.
