Tesla, Alphabet Stocks
Momentum for the industrials sector and the broader market will be in focus with a heavy upcoming week of second-quarter earnings, which includes reports from more than one-fifth of the S&P 500, led by Alphabet and Tesla, the first of the “Magnificent Seven” megacap tech and growth companies to report.Tesla is at a crossroads. The ongoing robotaxi deployment, next-gen car platform, and Elon Musk’s leadership are key drivers. Prices range from bearish $115–200 to optimistic $500–$800 depending on execution, tech advancement, and macro trends.
If traders are considering TSLA, weigh short-term volatility and policy risk against potential long-term gains from autonomy and AI integration. Diversify your portfolio and track upcoming earnings, robotaxi updates, and global EV market share metrics for a clearer picture.
Alphabet is well-positioned to benefit from AI and cloud momentum, with analysts expecting 10–15 per cent upside to around $205–220 over the next year. However, regulatory uncertainty remains a major risk that could significantly impact its trajectory. Investors should keep a close watch on upcoming earnings, legal rulings, and AI product monetization developments.
