Tesla Misses Q1 Delivery Estimates by 8%, Cites Slowing China Demand and Berlin Production Issues
Why it matters: Tesla delivered 386K vehicles in Q1 vs. the 420K analyst consensus — the second consecutive quarterly miss. Management cited decelerating EV demand in China and a 3-week ramp-down at Gigafactory Berlin for retooling. BYD continues to outpace Tesla in China with better-priced models. Pre-market: ↓ 4.2%, testing the $180 support level. A clean break below $180 opens the door to $172–175. Watch volume at the open.
NVIDIA Raises Q3 Revenue Guidance to $37.5B — Blackwell GPU Demand "Exceeds All Expectations"
Why it matters: NVIDIA guided Q3 revenue to $37.5B vs. the $34B analyst consensus — a 10% beat driven entirely by Blackwell GPU demand from hyperscalers. Microsoft, Google, and Meta alone are on track to spend $200B+ on AI infrastructure in 2026. Pre-market: ↑ 6.1%. Sympathy plays to watch at the open: $AMD (+2.5% pre), $AVGO (+1.8% pre), $MRVL. The AI trade is not dead.
Apple Faces New Antitrust Probe in China — App Store Practices Under Scrutiny
Why it matters: Chinese regulators launched a formal antitrust investigation into Apple's App Store commission structure and data practices. China represents ~19% of Apple's revenue. A worst-case outcome could shave $4–6B from annual earnings. Pre-market: ↓ 2.1%. This is a slow-burn risk — but it adds overhang to AAPL heading into Q2 earnings next week.
Bitcoin ETFs Record $340M in Outflows — Third Consecutive Day of Net Redemptions
Why it matters: BlackRock's IBIT led outflows at $180M, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $90M. Three consecutive outflow days is the longest streak since February. BTC is holding $94,200 but momentum is clearly fading. Key level: $92,000 support (200-day MA). A break below triggers liquidation risk in leveraged longs.
ExxonMobil Beats Q1 EPS by 9%, Raises Dividend 4.2% — Energy Sector Rotation Thesis Strengthens
Why it matters: ExxonMobil posted EPS of $2.14 vs. $1.96 expected, driven by strong refining margins despite flat oil prices. Raised quarterly dividend to $0.99/share. With the S&P 500 energy sector underperforming YTD by 8%, institutional money is starting to rotate in. Related names to watch: $CVX, $COP, $OXY.
