Tesla Shares Seen Fairly Balancing EV Demand Headwinds, AI Ambitions, UBS Says

Tesla's (TSLA) recent share-price pullback now better reflects softer electric-vehicle demand and the company's current spending cycle while still leaving room for its long-term ambitions in AI-driven cars and robots, UBS Securities said Tuesday in a report.UBS forecasts 1.6 million auto deliveries in 2026, down 1% from a year earlier, and expects deliveries to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7% to about 2.1 million by 2030, below the 3 million consensus estimate.Tesla's robo-taxi service in Austin, Texas, which has expanded more slowly than expected, could begin adding more vehicles and riders later this year, and the company may be able to offer lower per-mile pricing than rivals, the report said.While CEO Elon Musk has said Optimus Gen3 production could start this summer with high-volume output in 2027, UBS expects the humanoid robot to take longer to ramp up and sees potential parts-supply challenges given the current reliance on China.Tesla shares continue to trade more on sentiment and momentum than fundamentals, the report said. UBS raised its rating on the stock to neutral from sell and maintained its $352 price target.Price: $365.78, Change: $+13.36, Percent Change: +3.79%

Amazon to Acquire Mobile Satellite Services Operator Globalstar

Amazon.com (AMZN) agreed to buy mobile satellite services operator Globalstar (GSAT) as the e-commerce giant aims to add direct-to-device services to its Leo satellite network, the companies said Tuesday.Globalstar's investors may opt to receive $90 in cash for every share owned, or 0.3210 shares of Amazon with a $90 valuation cap. Total cash elections can't exceed 40% of Globalstar's shares.

Its shares were up 9% intraday, while Amazon's rose 2.8%."By combining Globalstar's proven expertise and strong foundation with Amazon's customer-obsession and innovation, customers can expect faster, more reliable service in more places," Panos Panay, senior vice president of devices and services at Amazon, said.Upon completion, Amazon Leo will be able to provide D2D services via its low Earth orbit satellite network and extend cellular coverage beyond the reach of terrestrial networks, the companies said. The plan is to deploy Amazon Leo's own D2D satellite system beginning in 2028."(Amazon) is effectively solving its (Federal Communications Commission) deadline problem by acquiring a functioning satellite operator while also leapfrogging into D2D connectivity, a market SpaceX's Starlink has been targeting," Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Piccolo said in a note e-mailed to.SpaceX is a private company owned by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (TSLA).The transaction, which requires regulatory approvals, is anticipated to complete in 2027."The combination with Amazon Leo will advance innovations in digital connectivity that will benefit our customers and advance us toward a more intelligent, continuously connected world," Globalstar Chief Executive Paul Jacobs said.Amazon said that it agreed to provide satellite connectivity for Apple's (AAPL) current and future iPhone and its smartwatch features. Currently, Globalstar provides satellite service that powers iPhone 14 or newer models, as well as Apple Watch Ultra 3."Apple and Amazon have a long and proven track record of working together through Amazon's core infrastructure services, and we look forward to building on that collaboration with Amazon Leo," Greg Joswiak, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple, said.Price: $246.78, Change: $+6.89, Percent Change: +2.87%

Prolonged Iran War Could Drive Outlook Cuts at US Auto Companies in 2026 Second Half, RBC Says

US automotive companies could lower outlooks in the second half of this year in case of a prolonged Middle East conflict or if the latest oil price shock "adversely" affects consumer confidence, RBC Capital Markets said in a note e-mailed Monday.The US-Israel war with Iran that started at the end of February has sent energy prices surging amid the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important chokepoint for crude flows. Oil prices hovered around $100 a barrel intraday Monday as the start of a US blockade of maritime traffic around Iran's ports reportedly became effective.As most auto suppliers typically maintain one to two quarters of inventory, they are likely to be shielded from increasing raw materials costs in the near term, RBC analyst Tom Narayan said in a note to clients, adding that potential cost hikes in the future can be passed along to original equipment manufacturers. Overall, US suppliers have "negligible exposure" to the Middle East, according to the note."Importantly, we think neither OEMs nor suppliers (will) cut guidance in (the first quarter)," Narayan wrote. "That said, if the Iran conflict is prolonged or if higher oil prices adversely impact consumer confidence, we could see guidance cuts in (the second half of 2026)."Last week, a survey by the University of Michigan showed that US consumer sentiment hit the lowest on record this month, reflecting heightened worries about higher prices and the overall economic fallout from the Middle East conflict.Compared with suppliers, US OEMs could face "greater macro sensitivity," considering higher difficulty in passing along commodity inflation costs and a potential delay in the resolution to the US-Mexico-Canada trade pact due to the Iran war, RBC said."In China, the revised subsidy framework and reduction of the EV purchase tax credit could adversely impact mass-market players, where western suppliers remain structurally under-indexed," Narayan said.In the long term, RBC projects Brent crude prices to be around $80 per barrel, with West Texas Intermediate oil seen at $75 a barrel, according to the note."While elevated fuel prices may support (electric vehicle) adoption in Europe, we expect limited mix shift in the US, where government incentives have been the primary demand driver for EV sales," Narayan said.RBC said it likes Autoliv (ALV), Dauch (DCH) and Aptiv (APTV) on a risk/reward basis. The brokerage reduced its price targets on the shares of several companies, including Ford Motor (F), General Motors (GM), Tesla (TSLA), Mobileye Global (MBLY), and Lucid Group (LCID).Earlier this month, Tesla's first-quarter deliveries missed Wall Street's estimates, with Wedbush Securities flagging a challenging demand environment for the EV maker.Price: $12.11, Change: $-0.02, Percent Change: -0.16%
