Stock Market Meltdown: A Tough Week for Titans Like Tesla, Palantir, and Microsoft
The financial world is reeling from a massive stock market downturn this week, with the S&P 500 shedding around 10% of its value over the past two days, thanks to the ongoing trade apocalypse that President Trump keeps ranting about. This crisis isn't just damaging German stocks; it's particularly hammering US giants such as Tesla, Palantir, and Microsoft. Here's what's happening with these stocks and what analysts predict for their future.
Tesla Stock: A Rollercoaster Ride
Well-known electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla has taken a beating on Monday, losing another 6% after its close ties with Trump. Analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities sees Tesla as the biggest casualty in the current trade issues. Despite this, the consensus among analysts is more optimistic, expecting a whopping 32% increase in price.
Palantir Stock: Hanging in There
Data analytics company Palantir is feeling the heat, too, with a 8% dip in stock price on Monday. The company's fortunes are more affected by the general market sell-off than tariffs, but analysts at William Blair see potential uncertainties due to possible order cancellations by the US government if budget cuts are made. Despite this, the positive consensus among analysts forecasts a 29% upside for the stock.
Microsoft Stock: Caught in the Crossfire
Even tech titan Microsoft isn't immune to the market madness, sliding 2% on Monday. Analysts expect operational challenges due to the trade war with China, but they remain upbeat, anticipating a 41% upside potential for the stock.
