Electric vehicle (EV) companies like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $Boyd Gaming(BYD)$ have captivated the minds of investors everywhere, as many view EVs as a viable new transportation option in a world that badly needs to reduce carbon emissions. In Tesla's case, investors are also betting heavily on future innovations in tech and artificial intelligence (AI) that they believe will significantly increase shareholder value in the coming years.While both companies could have significant upside, Tesla and BYD are at different stages in their journeys, and each is prioritizing different initiatives within their businesses. Let's take a look at which stock is the better buy right now.Tesla: Looking toward the futur

It’s good to be back.I had an awesome holiday in South Korea, getting my annual dose of Kpop and Korean food (I am all Kimchi-ed out now).This week, I am looking into the troubles in the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) industry as EV players have once again cut prices.Could $BYD Co., Ltd.(BYDDY)$ actually be building a nightmare?“Right this way, Mrs Chin. This is the newest EV model by Great Wall Motor. We have recently cut the price by 10%”Mrs Chin, like many Chinese consumers, just glances over. She then folds her arm and say, “Can you go cheaper? BYD’s one is 20% lower. If not, I will just go next door”The salesman holds his tongue, smiles and takes out a a list of prices, “Just for you, Madam, we are willing to cut by 25% for you.”China’s elect

Elon Musk, left, with Donald Trump in the White House in February. The latest tempest around Tesla's shares appears to have passed. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ stock rose for a fourth straight day Wednesday, climbing intraday well above the price at which it closed June 4. That was the session before a spat between CEO Elon Musk and President Donald Trump led to a remarkable series of social-media posts and statements that culminated in a one-day drop of about $150 billion in Tesla’s market value. Tesla’s market value is meanwhile back above $1 trillion, according to Visible Alpha data. Put another way, investors appear to have moved on, even if the degree to which Musk and Trump have—the former earlier today posted that he “went too far” in some of

Which of these beaten-down EV stocks deserves a second look? $Quantumscape Corp.(QS)$ and $ChargePoint Holdings Inc.(CHPT)$ represent two different ways to invest in the growing electric vehicle (EV) market.QuantumScape develops solid-state lithium metal batteries which provide better thermal resistance, faster charging times, and higher maximum capacities than traditional lithium ion batteries. ChargePoint is the largest builder of residential and commercial EV charging stations in North America and Europe.QuantumScape and ChargePoint both closed at their record highs during the apex of the meme stock mania in December 2020. But today, they're both trading more than 95% below their all-time highs. Let's se

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ It's hard to envision Tesla (TSLA) without Elon Musk leading the way. And we don't have to: Musk confirmed Tuesday that he plans to stay put. For a brand that has become inseparable from its key executive, that sounds like a godsend and a curse. Even a refocused Musk faces mounting problems at the pioneering electric vehicle company.Last month, Tesla reported its worst quarter for sales in three years. Subsequent data for April showed continued signs of weakness.Like its megacap peers, Tesla has been on a tear over the past month, buoyed by a tariff reprieve and a trade war thaw. No other "Magnificent Seven" member has risen as much. But that’s another way of saying investors have been on a bumpy ride.Zoom out to a broader tim

Next month could be a make-or-break moment for Tesla.After an incredible two-year run on the stock market, big tech hasn't fared quite so well in 2025. Among the biggest laggards in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks is $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , whose shares have declined 15% year to date (as of May 15).While this sell-off makes Tesla one of the poorest performers among the "Magnificent Seven" stocks, that may soon change.Let's explore why June is going to be such a pivotal month for Tesla's future. And more importantly, I'll take a look at more recent trends surrounding Tesla stock to help assess whether now is a good time to pounce on shares before they potentially go parabolic in a few weeks.What is happening in June for Tesla?Tesla derives the m
