Tesla (TSLA) Gets $410 Target, Morgan Stanley Says ‘Muskonomy’ Is the ******* Story Tesla (TSLA) Gets $410 Target, Morgan Stanley Says ‘Muskonomy’ Is the ******* Story We recently published a list of 12 AI Stocks on Analysts’ Radar. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stands against other AI stocks on analysts’ radar. The recently imposed US sanctions on chip use have angered China. In recent news, the country has stated that it may take legal action against any individual or organization who are found assisting or implementing U.S. measures that advise companies against using their advanced semiconductors. According to the U.S. published guidance, companies risk violating export controls if found using Ascend AI chips from Shenzhen-based Huawei. In response, China’s commerce ministry said there could be “corresponding legal liabilities” against those involved in implementing U.S. measures and that it constitutes “discriminatory restrictive measures” against ******** firms. READ ALSO: 10 AI Stocks Investors Are Watching Today and 15 AI Stocks Surging on News and Analyst Ratings. The sanctions are seemingly a new strategy adopted by the US to curb China’s progress in the AI arms race. The world is yet to watch the success of this strategy as opposed to the AI diffusion rule imposed earlier, which the world came to know had failed miserably after the arrival of DeepSeek. Even Jensen Huang has deemed the AI diffusion rule to be a failure. “All in all, the export control was a failure. The fundamental assumptions that led to the AI diffusion rule in the beginning, in the first place, has been proven to be fundamentally flawed.” In fact, the sales block advanced AI chips to China, forcing companies to buy semiconductors from ******** designers. It also pushed the country to invest aggressively in a robust supply chain that doesn’t rely on manufacturers outside the country. For this article, we selected AI stocks by going through news articles, stock analysis, and press releases. These stocks are also popular among hedge funds. The hedge fund data is as of Q4 2024. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here). Tesla (TSLA) Gets $410 Target, Morgan Stanley Says ‘Muskonomy’ Is the ******* Story Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 126 Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is an automotive and clean energy company that leverages advanced artificial intelligence in its autonomous driving technology and robotics initiatives. Morgan Stanley reiterated the stock as “Overweight” with a $410 price target. The firm said it’s standing by top pick Tesla. According to the firm, upcoming developments are likely going to boost investor confidence in Tesla’s role beyond automotive manufacturing. The analysts are optimistic about ’Muskonomy,’ a term which refers to the economic ecosystem surrounding Elon Musk’s ventures. Story Continues The rating reaffirmation follows Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s interview by CNBC’s David Faber at the Giga Texas facility in Austin. The firm noted the rarity of such interviews by Musk and also how insights from Musk could help steer the company’s future direction. “We believe events between now and year-end will go some way to convince investors that Tesla is more than a car company. In many ways, we believe Tesla’s role in the ‘Muskonomy’ is more important than ever before.” Overall, TSLA ranks 5th on our list of AI stocks on analysts’ radar. While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than TSLA and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.

Starmer’s ‘U-turn’ and Trump ‘ambush’ Starmer’s ‘U-turn’ and Trump ‘ambush’ 11 minutes agoShareSaveShareSave Sir Keir Starmer’s winter fuel “U-turn” dominated Thursday’s papers. The Times says pensioners now face waiting more than a year to have winter fuel payments reinstated after “one of the biggest” walk backs of the PM’s tenure. Also making the spotlight is Donald Trump’s “ambush” of South African president Cyril Ramaphosa. The paper describes the US leader confronting him with a video which he said “proved” white farmers in South Africa were being “murdered” and “their land confiscated”. “Starmer makes U-turn on winter fuel payments” leads the Financial Times as it reports on the PM’s backtrack of cuts to winter fuel payments for pensioners. The paper says Sir Keir has “bowed to pressure from Labour MPs” after the party suffered a series of “humiliating” defeats in local elections this month. “Trump rounds on Ramaphosa” headlines the paper’s coverage of the US president’s meeting with his South African counterpart. Sir Keir’s “partial climbdown” on winter fuel payments also leads the Guardian’s front page. The paper says the government’s U-turn “will help to head off a growing backbench rebellion” over its £5bn ******** cuts next month. “Trump in ‘white genocide’ ambush” is also featured, paired with a photo of President Trump holding up photos to the press as the South African president looks on. “Keir: we get it” rounds out the Mirror’s coverage of the PM’s backtrack on winter fuel payments. The paper also emphasises that pensioners must wait until October to find out if they qualify under the new rules. And “finally” encapsulates Tottenham overcoming a 17-year drought to win the Europa League. The Daily Express says “fight for fuel pay for all not over” as it reports that Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has vowed to keep fighting for pensioners after Labour’s U-turn. Spurs’ “£100m glory” is also celebrated. The Metro says the prime minister has been “boxed in” by members of his own party on winter fuels. The paper also teases its Cannes Film Festival coverage, “ScarJo’s debut and Spacey’s back” alongside photos of actors Scarlett Johansson and Kevin Spacey. The Daily Telegraph reveals Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to consider restricting access to the state pension for “recently arrived immigrants”. The paper says it has seen a secret memo which suggests “a power struggle at the heart of the Cabinet”, with Rayner “straying from her brief in an attempt to change economic policy”. Also on the front page is a story about the PM who is due to “sign away Chagos Islands at a cost of £9bn”. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is “open to new wealth taxes” to avoid further borrowing, the i Paper reports. The paper says Reeves does not disagree with Angela Rayner on the principle of taxing the wealthiest despite rejecting the deputy PM’s leaked list of suggested tax hikes. Elsewhere, Tottenham’s victory over Man United is summed up by words from head coach Ange Postecoglou: “I always win things in my second year”. “Reeves reeling from triple blow” declares the Daily Mail as it recounts what it calls a “humiliating day” for the Chancellor. The paper sums up Wednesday’s flurry of announcements as “open warfare in the Cabinet”. The Daily Star leads with a plea from Jay Slater’s mother after two of the teen’s friends were missing from his inquest on Wednesday. Finally, “Paedos to be castrated” blasts the Sun as it reports that Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s is looking into making the chemical castration of paedophiles and rapists mandatory.

Wesfarmers tips $60m loss at Covalent Lithium joint venture with SQM, expects more pain ahead Wesfarmers tips $60m loss at Covalent Lithium joint venture with SQM, expects more pain ahead Wesfarmers has revealed it expects to book a $60 million loss for its share of the Covalent Lithium joint venture this year as it concedes prices for the key battery metal will remain depressed in the short term. And it warned investors that figure could climb even high in 2025-26. But the retail conglomerate — which holds an equal share of the $2.6 billion joint venture along with Chile’s SQM — told analysts at an investor briefing day in Sydney on Thursday that it expects demand to remain strong over the medium to long term. Covalent runs the Mt Holland mine south of Southern Cross and is building a lithium hydroxide refinery at Kwinana. Wesfarmers told analysts that global electric vehicle penetration was forecast to increase from 19 per cent in 2024 to 41 per cent over the next six years, and that new supply would be required “to meet anticipated strong long-term demand”. But it acknowledged new global lithium projects coming on line were holding back a price rebound. Prices of the spodumene concentrate produced by WA miners to power EV are yet to show any meaningful signs of improvement and remain more than 90 per cent off their late 2022 peak. The prevailing price is currently $US690 a tonne, according to Shanghai Metals Market, down about $US130/t in the space of a month and continuing a broad decline over the past two years. Wesfarmers also pointed to the global upheaval caused by President Donald Trump’s war on tariffs as a potential threat to a price recovery. ”The full impact of US tariffs on the battery value chain is unknown and creates uncertainty in the short term,” it said. Wesfarmers’ share of output from Mt Holland this financial year is set to come in at about 140,000 to 150,000 tonnes as the plant ramps up to nameplate capacity. It said the following financial year would be one of transition, with higher unit costs expected as the lithium hydroxide refinery at Kwinana ramps over an 18-moth ******* after first product. The refinery is now 88 per cent complete and commissioning is due to start by the middle of this year. “At current subdued pricing, losses in FY26 are expected to be greater than FY25, impacted by the timing of ramp up and product qualification,” it said. Wesfarmers will be hoping to avoid the problems that have held back production of its neighbour. IGO’s refinery has been plagued by technical problems for years and chief executive Ivan Vella earlier this month conceded the miner was running out of patience with the project it shares with Tianqi. IGO and Tianqi in January aborted expansion works at Kwinana and shortly after crossed out $525m of the refinery’s book value. The operation incurred a net earnings loss of $161.1m for the first half of the 2025 financial year. Mr Vella said the battery metals producer “cannot continue to just spend money” at the Kwinana refinery “without a clear path of where that takes us economically”.

Boeing increases 737 production pace as quality, safety culture improves Boeing increases 737 production pace as quality, safety culture improves By Dan Catchpole SEATTLE (Reuters) -Boeing expects to stabilize 737 MAX production at 38 airplanes a month over the next couple of months, its Commercial Airplanes Vice President of Quality Doug Ackerman told reporters on Tuesday. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration capped output at 38 airplanes a month after a mid-air panel blowout in a nearly new 737 in January 2024. Prior to that, monthly production of its best-selling airplane had bounced between the teens and the thirties but Boeing struggled through a series of crises and controversies that have battered its finances, strained employee morale and shredded public trust. After losing nearly $12 billion last year, the U.S. planemaker needs to increase 737 production to bring in more cash. The company is on track to produce about 38 of the popular single-aisle airplanes this month, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. A Boeing spokesperson declined to comment on the production rate for May. Boeing chief executive Kelly Ortberg previously said that the company needs to prove it can maintain production at that level for several months before it asks the FAA to lift the cap. Once production is running smoothly, the company would also resume work on adding a fourth production line, Ackerman said. Boeing is making steady progress on all six production quality and safety metrics created by the company and regulators, according to its annual Chief Aerospace Safety Officer Report, which was released on Wednesday. Safety concerns submitted by employees to the company’s Speak Up reporting system rose by 220% from 2023 to 2024, according to the report. Ongoing changes continue to make the program more effective, Chief Aerospace Safety Officer Don Ruhmann said during the media briefing on Tuesday. For example, safety concerns are now evaluated by managers from other sections who are more likely to be impartial, rather than those who oversaw the work in question. Boeing is also using machine learning to catch quality problems in its supply chain before they become widespread. While it is still “fine tuning” the approach, it is seeing statistical correlations between the data and the likelihood of supply chain issues, Ackerman said.

On Wednesday, Mr Minns promised that commuters would travel for free on Monday, May 26 as a concession for the inconvenience. He also confirmed a “short and sharp” independent review of the train network would be conducted after the major disruptions and lack of communication.

We’ve got to do better.” Camera IconIt wasn’t easy getting home.

Dairy Queen CEO says he learned from Warren Buffett that being the ‘smartest person in the world’ isn’t the most important attribute for success Dairy Queen CEO says he learned from Warren Buffett that being the ‘smartest person in the world’ isn’t the most important attribute for success Dairy Queen CEO Troy Bader learned two lessons from his job interview with Warren Buffett: that passion triumphs intelligence when building a business, and there’s always something to learn from others. He’s one of many leaders—alongside billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates and Amex CEO Stephen Squeri—who have leaned on Buffett’s advice to succeed. Many businesses are birthed from a bright idea—but that isn’t enough to take a company big-time. Dairy Queen CEO Troy Bader said Warren Buffett taught him zeal for the mission is more important than anything else; being “smartest person in the world” won’t outperform “somebody who has that passion.” “Anybody you meet, I don’t care who they are—they know something you don’t,” Bader said in a recent interview with Business Insider. It’s just one of the two takeaways that have stuck with Bader since his job interview with Buffett in 2017 to become CEO of the billion-dollar ice cream giant. And as the serial investor just announced he will step down from his Berkshire Hathaway throne after 60 years, his words of wisdom seem to carry even more weight. The Dairy Queen CEO was shown that even the most successful people still have things to learn, and passion triumphs wits in growing a business. Bader admitted it was daunting to come face-to-face with Buffett; especially after Berkshire Hathaway shelled out $600 million to take Dairy Queen company private in 1998. The hedge fund mogul has long had a soft spot for Dairy Queen, both in business and in life. So the sweet treat CEO felt the pressure to impress during their interview. “It was the fall of 2017, I’ll never forget the day,” Bader told Business Insider. “I was very anxious going in because OK, I felt like I knew our business, but you’re sitting down with Warren Buffett.” Buffett wasn’t the type to act “very arrogant” in the meetings as one might expect, Bader said. Instead, the Omaha Oracle spent the first 15 or 20 minutes asking the Dairy Queen executive about something relevant to another business deal in his pipeline. Buffett figured Bader could teach him a thing or two, which ironically taught him a valuable lesson back: that anyone you meet knows something you don’t, regardless of stature. “Warren is a constant learner,” Bader said. “He wants to know what you know and what he can learn from you.” During their conversation, Bader noticed that Buffett was “digging for something more, that energy, that passion, that connection to the business.” That spurred a second revaluation—that Buffett wanted spirit and enthusiasm from the executives he was meeting with. When it comes to running a successful business, passion tops intelligence in getting the job done right. The power of a can-do, passionate attitude in business has been echoed by other executives like Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Cisco’s U.K. chief Sarah Walker. Story Continues Buffett’s words have impacted more than just the people he interviews. Even some of the world’s most respected leaders see the billionaire as a north star in navigating the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. Early on in Melinda French Gates’ philanthropic career running the Gates Foundation with her then-husband Bill Gates, the Berkshire Hathaway investor gave her some advice on managing the stress—and she still lives by it to this day. “Warren Buffett once said to us early in the [Gates] Foundation’s life, ‘Find your bull’s-eye of what you’re working on, and let the other things fall away. You’ll feel better if you keep your talents in that bull’s-eye, keep working those issues, and you’ll feel less bad about letting other things go,’” French Gates told LinkedIn last year. “And I think that’s true.” American Express CEO Stephen Squeri also said he soaked up advice from Buffett during their bimonthly calls. In an interview with Barrons in 2023, the financial services executive recalled getting important guidance from the Omaha investor during the COVID-19 pandemic when no one was in public cashing out their Amex cards. Buffett advised him to hold two things down pat; it could mean a difference between ***** and bust. “His advice to me is, protect two things—protect your customers and protect your brand,” Squeri said.

Postecoglou puts naysayers in their place – again Postecoglou puts naysayers in their place – again Ange Postecoglou has lived up to the early-season promise he made. “I always win things in my second year. Nothing has changed,” the Tottenham manager said after back-to-back defeats early in the Premier League campaign. That narrative has followed him all season yet eight months later, Postecoglou delivered on his word by leading Spurs to the Europa League title with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final in Bilbao, Spain on Wednesday night. “It wasn’t me boasting. It was a declaration … If we fell short, I was ready to cop it,” Postecoglou told **** Sports. His stint at Tottenham has been “the toughest couple of years” of his career, he said. “I knew it going into it,” Postecoglou told CBS Sports. “This football club has had world-class managers, a lot better-credentialed than I am, and haven’t been able to get there, so I knew I had a massive challenge in front of me.” Here’s a rundown of those second-season trophies won by Postecoglou across his career: * South Melbourne (1996-2000) In his first job as a head coach, Postecoglou won Australia’s top-flight title — the National Soccer League — in his second season with South Melbourne and again the following year. * Brisbane Roar (2009-12) Postecoglou achieved the same feat at Brisbane Roar, winning the league title — by now it was called the A-League — in his second season and retaining it the following year. * Australia (2013-17) During the second year of Postecoglou’s four-year stint with the Socceroos, Australia hosted the Asian Cup in early 2015 and reached the final against South Korea. The Australians conceded an equaliser in added time — coincidentally scored by current Tottenham captain Son Heung-min — but clinched a 2-1 win after extra time. It was Australia’s first Asian Cup title. * Yokohama F. Marinos (2018-21) In his first big job outside Australia, Postecoglou lost the Japanese Cup final in his first season with Yokohama F. Marinos but made up for it by winning the top-flight league title by six points the following year. It was the club’s fourth Japanese league championship. * Celtic (2021-23) At Celtic, Postecoglou was in charge of the biggest team in Scotland — albeit one which had relinquished its league title the previous year. Under the ***********, Celtic regained the Scottish Premiership title by four points in his first season and retained it — by seven points — in his second season. Postecoglou then left for Tottenham. * Postecoglou’s other clubs Postecoglou has been coach at three other clubs in his managerial career, but never got to the end of a second full season with any of them. He was at Greek lower-league team Panachaiki (2008) for less than a year, with *********** team Whittlesea Zebras for just three months in 2009 and at Melbourne Victory for 18 months — but left at the start of his second full season to take over the Socceroos.

Trump calls his own foreign aid cuts at USAID ‘devastating’ Trump calls his own foreign aid cuts at USAID ‘devastating’ WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration’s cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development and its aid programs worldwide have been “devastating.” Speaking beside South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a White House visit, Trump was asked about his cutting most foreign aid by a reporter who said the decision had significant impacts in Africa. “It’s devastating, and hopefully a lot of people are going to start spending a lot of money,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “I’ve talked to other nations. We want them to chip in and spend money too, and we’ve spent a lot. And it’s a big – it’s a tremendous problem going on in many countries. A lot of problems going on. The United States always gets the request for money. Nobody else helps.” The State Department, which manages USAID, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The administration has repeatedly defended the cuts, saying they were focused on wasted funds. The gutting of the agency, largely overseen by South Africa-born businessman Elon Musk, is the subject of several federal lawsuits. The United States is the world’s largest humanitarian aid donor, amounting to at least 38% of all contributions recorded by the United Nations. It disbursed $61 billion in foreign assistance last year, just over half of it via USAID, according to government data. The U.S. spent half a billion dollars on South African aid in 2023, mostly on healthcare, the most recent data shows. Most of that funding has been withdrawn, though it is unclear exactly how much. The cuts have had an effect on the country’s response to the **** epidemic. South Africa has the world’s highest burden of ****, with about 8 million people – one in five adults – living with the virus. Washington was funding 17% of the country’s **** budget before the cuts.

FEMA rescinds strategic plan less than 2 weeks before hurricane season FEMA rescinds strategic plan less than 2 weeks before hurricane season Less than two weeks until the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, Federal Emergency Management Agency acting Administrator David Richardson has rescinded the agency’s strategic plan, a comprehensive policy document that outlines the disaster relief agency’s priorities. In a short memo sent to FEMA employees on Wednesday and obtained by CBS News, Richardson wrote, “The 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan is hereby rescinded. The Strategic Plan contains goals and objectives that bear no connection to FEMA accomplishing its mission. This summer, a new 2026-2030 strategy will be developed. The strategy will tie directly to FEMA executing its Mission Essential Tasks.” The memo authored by Richardson was brief — the new agency head now requires that all FEMA memos to, from or for his office be no longer than one page in length, according to multiple current FEMA employees. FEMA did not immediately respond to a CBS News request for comment. Wired was the first to report that the plan had been rescinded. One FEMA official described the strategic plan to CBS News as the agency’s “organizational backbone.” “Without it, there are just a bunch of offices doing whatever they feel like doing,” the official said. The strategic plan, which was published in December 2021 under former administrator Deanne Criswell, was set to expire in 2026. The plan no longer appears on FEMA’s website. Criswell, in a news release at the time the plan was published, laid out three main goals for the agency: “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management,” “Lead Whole of Community in Climate Resilience” and “Promote and Sustain a Ready FEMA and Prepared Nation.” The official told CBS News Richardson is now trying to figure out how to operate FEMA so that it does nothing more or less than what the law requires. Part of that includes nixing the agency’s Office of Resilience Strategy. “That office exists to figure out how to maximize efficacy of publicly spent money on projects that build a resilient infrastructure that can withstand disaster events,” the official said. “Without that guiding star, FEMA will operate as triage instead of actually trying to mitigate future damage before it happens.” The official compared the removal of the ORS to people relying solely on emergency rooms for health care rather than also getting preventative care. “A primary care physician would’ve been able to tell you that you have a disease that makes your blood not clot properly. Pulling the Office of Resilience Strategy out of the equation means that you’ll bleed out and die from a paper cut because nobody was around to tell you that your life was at risk in the first place,” the said. The move to rescind the strategic plan comes a little over a week after an internal agency presentation featured a slide that noted, “As FEMA transforms to a smaller footprint, the intent for this hurricane season is not well understood, thus FEMA is not ready.” A Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News in response that FEMA is “fully activated in preparation for Hurricane Season,” and described the assessment as “one line in a nineteen-page slide deck and the unsubstantiated opinion of one official inside the agency.” The presentation also cited “culture issues,” staffing shortages and problems coordinating with other federal agencies among the issues it was contending with. President Trump, who has been critical of how the agency responded to past disasters, has suggested transforming it into a “support agency” that largely defers to the states or scrapping FEMA entirely. Richardson has been FEMA’s acting administrator for less than two weeks, replacing the agency’s former acting head, Cameron Hamilton, who was fired by the Trump administration after he told lawmakers he doesn’t believe eliminating FEMA is in the country’s “best interests.” Nicole Sganga Nicole Sganga is CBS News’ homeland security and justice correspondent.

Call for NHS to give women with dense breasts extra ******* scans Call for NHS to give women with dense breasts extra ******* scans Getty Images Women with very dense breasts should be offered additional scans as part of the ***’s NHS breast screening programme to help detect more cancers and save lives, researchers say. A Cambridge University-led study of more than 9,000 women found using different scans from traditional mammograms could treble the number of cancers detected in this group of women. Around one in 10 women have very dense breasts and they have a higher risk of developing breast *******, however cancers are harder to spot in dense breasts because of the way mammograms (breast x-rays) work. This is because they look whiter on the x-rays, the same colour as early-stage cancers. The trial tested different scanning methods on women with very dense breasts who had been given a mammogram and told they did not have *******. It is only through mammograms that women and their health professionals can identify breasts that are very dense. ‘Extra scan spotted my *******’ Louise Duffield, 60, from Ely, Cambridgeshire, was one of the trial participants who had an early-stage breast ******* diagnosed. She had surgery to have the tumour removed within weeks. She says it was a “big shock” when she got the diagnosis. “It’s been a stressful time and it’s a huge relief to have it gone. The tumour was deep in the breast so if I hadn’t been on the trial, it could have gone unnoticed for years.” Other Louise Duffield has had surgery to remove the tumour found by additional scan The study, published in The Lancet, found two alternative methods, an enhanced mammogram and a fast MRI scan, detected 17-19 cancers per 1,000 women screened. Both techniques use injections to make blood vessels more visible – tumours in the breast have a lot of blood vessels. By contrast, traditional mammograms detect eight cancers in every 1,000 women screened. This amounts to more than 20,000 cancers currently detected each year. Women aged 50 to 71 are invited for breast screening every three years and around two thirds take up the offer. Based on the study results and that level of uptake, using the different scanning techniques on women with very dense breasts could identify 3,500 extra cancers per year and potentially save 700 lives. ‘Time to change approach’ Prof Fiona Gilbert, who led the research, said she was convinced the new approach could make a difference. “We need to change our national screening programme so we can make sure more cancers are diagnosed early, giving many more women a much better chance of survival.” The Department of Health and Social Care said its screening advisory body had been looking at ways to improve detection rates in women with very dense breasts for a number of years. It said it would be reviewing the findings of this trial, but it was determined to “fight ******* on all fronts” to improve survival rates. A new national ******* plan for England is expected to be published later this year.
