Prokidney, Soundhound AI, Quantumscape, Intel, And Nvidia: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

"Wishing for the 1950s past is a bad mistake," warned LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman in a May 14 <a href="https://www.possible.fm/podcast/">&nbsp;"Possible" podcast</a>, where he and co-host Aria Finger argued that artificial intelligence examiners will overhaul higher-education assessments.&nbsp;
The veteran investor said professors clinging to decades-old curricula risk irrelevance as AI tools powered by dynamic questioning enter lecture halls, pushing universities toward tougher, real-time oral exams.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Forces A Faster Study Sprint</h2>
Generative AI has already vaulted into student toolkits. A <a href="https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/26/student-generative-ai-survey-2025/">survey</a> published in February by the<a href="https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/02/26/student-generative-ai-survey-2025/"> Higher Education Policy Institute</a> and digital publisher Kortext found 92% of U.K. undergraduates use such tools—up from 66% a year earlier—while 88% have inserted AI-generated text directly into assignments.

</ul>
"I could spend 30 hours writing an essay, or I could spend 90 minutes with my ChatGPT, Claude, Pi—whatever—prompting and generating something for that," Hoffman said, arguing that such shortcuts undermine the "whole point" of college: learning. He predicted AI-enabled tools will continue to spread until professors embed the technology into assessments rather than try to ban it.
Colleges are already adjusting. Academic integrity firm<a href="https://guides.turnitin.com/hc/en-us/articles/28294949544717-AI-writing-detection-model"> Turnitin</a> revised its AI-writing detector to hide scores below 20% to curb false positives and focus faculty on serious violations.
A March <a href="https://cssl.osu.edu/documents/2025-student-life-survey-generative-ai-tagged.pdf">survey</a> at Ohio State University that explored how students use generative AI found that 73% of undergraduates use generative AI into weekly study routines. "You can't ignore the new tool," Hoffman said, adding that an AI examiner able to ask follow-up questions "will be harder to fake than the pre-AI times."
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Hoffman Backs AI-Oral Exams</h2>
Enforcement still lags. In early April, the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ai-cheats-slip-under-radar-as-few-university-students-penalised-56kpcv6pp">Times of London</a> reported that fewer than 1 in 400 Russell Group students faced discipline for AI cheating last year despite 90% admitting tool usage, underscoring the gap Hoffman expects AI-proctored orals to close.
Because oral questioning demands mastery across "the whole zoom" of a course, Hoffman urged departments to convert some multiple-choice finals into viva-voce sessions overseen by large-language models.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pilot Programs Show What's Coming Next</h2>
Pilots are underway. In January, <a href="https://ai.asu.edu/openAI">Arizona State University and OpenAI</a> launched a campus-wide challenge inviting faculty to embed ChatGPT Enterprise into lessons. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech's <a href="https://iac.gatech.edu/news/item/676992/school-modern-languages-pilots-assistant-language-instruction-created-alum">language-instruction pilot </a>using the Spirant Assistant has been discontinued. According to Britta Kallin, associate professor and German program director at Georgia Tech, the program was halted because the computer scientist overseeing Spirant AI determined it was too costly to maintain and develop.
Hoffman closed the episode by reminding educators their mission remains to prepare graduates to thrive alongside intelligent agents. "The most central thing is preparing students to be capable, healthy, happy participants in the new world," he said.&nbsp;

'Wishing For The 1950s Past Is A Bad Mistake' — LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman Says AI Will Disrupt Professors Who Refuse To Evolve

The much-awaited preliminary report on the devastating Air India crash, involving a Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) airplane, in June, which claimed 260 lives, is expected to be released by the end of this week.
What Happened: The report, potentially illuminating the circumstances surrounding the most deadly aviation disaster of the past ten years, is being compiled by Indian investigators. However, the exact release date and the extent of information it will contain are yet to be confirmed, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, bound for London, crashed shortly after departing from Ahmedabad, resulting in the death of all but one of the 242 passengers and 19 individuals on the ground.
The investigation into the crash of Air India flight 171 is primarily centered around&nbsp;the engine fuel control switches,&nbsp;following an examination of the Boeing 787&#8217;s flight and voice data recorders. Anonymous sources have stated that the black box data does not definitively determine whether the crash was caused by incorrect, accidental, or deliberate actions.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of India, which is leading the investigation in accordance with international rules, has not yet responded to requests for comment. The investigation has been characterized by a scarcity of information, with only one press conference held by the Indian government, where no questions were allowed.
The crash has significantly impacted the Tata Group&#8217;s attempts to rehabilitate Air India&#8217;s image and overhaul its fleet after purchasing the airline&nbsp;from the government in 2022.&nbsp;The incident has also heightened safety concerns within India&#8217;s civil aviation sector, which is relying on a surge in aviation to support broader development objectives.

Why It Matters: The crash of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in June was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">significant blow</a> to India&#8217;s aviation industry. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46131852/boeing-787-dreamliner-black-box-recovered-data-under-scrutiny-to-provide-insights-into-fatal-air-india-crash">recovery of the black box data</a> was a crucial step in the investigation, providing potential insights into the cause of the disaster. 
However, the investigation faced controversy when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133937/boeing-787-dreamliner-crash-india-shuts-door-on-un-aviation-expert-probing-plane-accident">India denied a UN Aviation investigator</a> the opportunity to join the probe. 
The outcome of this report could have far-reaching implications for the future of India&#8217;s aviation industry and the reputation of Boeing.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Boeing stock closed 0.05% lower at $218.52 and was largely unchanged in the after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro.</a>

Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner Crash Report Expected On Friday As Investigation Centers On Engine Fuel Control Switches: Report

Nike (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) predicted Air Jordan would make only $3 million in sales over its first three to four years. Instead, the line <a href="https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/how-much-has-michael-jordan-been-paid-for-his-nike-jordan-brand-partnership-not-nearly-enough.html">brought in about $126 million</a> in its first year. That breakout success vaulted NBA great Michael Jordan into retail legend and reshaped Nike's future.
Jordan Brand now earns billions yearly, keeping the Jumpman logo central to modern sneaker culture. That journey started with one risky contract and a shoe the NBA tried to ban.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rookie Deal Reshapes Sneakers</h2>
In October 1984, after meeting at Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, <a href="https://www.espn.com/blog/playbook/dollars/post/_/id/2918/how-nike-landed-michael-jordan?">Nike signed</a> Jordan to a five-year endorsement deal worth $500,000 annually.

</ul>
"Nike&#8217;s expectation was at the end of year four they hoped to sell $3 million of Air Jordans," agent David Falk said in <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/the-last-dance-story-behind-michael-jordan-nearly-choosing-adidas-over-nike-explained-in-doc/">ESPN's documentary</a>, "The Last Dance." Jordan had favored Adidas, yet his mother, Deloris, persuaded him to hear Nike's pitch.
The contract included a signature shoe, unheard of for a rookie, plus stock options and royalties on every pair sold. Nike backed the launch with posters, television spots, and campus tours that cast the 21-year-old guard as both hero and rebel. By season's end, Air Jordan revenue hit $126 million, smashing every forecast and proving a player could anchor an entire product family.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Banned Shoe Fuels Buzz</h2>
"The NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately, the NBA can't keep you from wearing them," teased a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5QbV-wnhtY">Nike ad</a> after the league cited uniform rules and fined Jordan $5,000 each game for wearing the red-and-black Air Jordan 1, which debuted on April 1, 1985.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
The controversy sparked demand. <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/sportsbusiness/news/story?id=1920101">Retailers moved</a> 450,000 pairs within a month at $65 each, ESPN added. Rappers, playground players, and director Spike Lee amplified the buzz, making the sneakers status symbols beyond sport.&nbsp;
Analysts later called the launch the first modern "drop," where scarcity and story fuel instant sell-outs. That momentum helped Nike secure future athlete lines, from Charles Barkley in 1992 to LeBron James in 2003, each modeled on Jordan's template.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jumpman Revenue Soars</h2>
Jordan Brand became a standalone Nike division in 1997 and still powers earnings today. For the quarter that ended May. 31, Nike <a href="https://investors.nike.com/investors/news-events-and-reports/investor-news/investor-news-details/2025/NIKE-Inc--Reports-Fiscal-2025-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-Results/default.aspx">posted </a>$11.1 billion in revenue. Jordan Brand recorded $7.27 for the full fiscal year, following a 16% year-over-year decline.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinbirnbaum/2023/10/02/michael-jordan-joins-forbes-400-worth-3-billion/">Forbes</a> reported Jordan's net worth at about $3 billion, driven by royalties exceeding $150 million a year. Hype stays sharp.<a href="https://sneakernews.com/2025/04/23/travis-scott-jordan-jumpman-jack-bright-cactus-fz8117-102-release-date/"> Sneaker News</a> reported the Travis Scott x Jordan Jumpman Jack "Bright Cactus" sold out on April 30 at $200.<a href="https://www.gq.com/story/air-jordan-1-low-chicago-2025-release"> GQ</a> wrote that the Air Jordan 1 Low "Chicago" returns this holiday season for $140.&nbsp;

"We don&#8217;t have a seller yet. However the syndicate ends up, we don&#8217;t know. This is a complicated deal. Two factors to consider: Number one, we need Xi and Trump to agree they&#8217;re gonna be a buyer and a seller. That&#8217;s number one," O'Leary wrote.&nbsp;

The second major obstacle is TikTok's algorithm itself, the investor said.&nbsp;

U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and other legislators have raised national security concerns, insisting that any sale must guarantee a complete separation from Chinese technology and influence.

Despite these roadblocks, O&#8217;Leary remains characteristically confident.&nbsp;

Kevin O'Leary Torpedoes Trump's TikTok Deal Claim: 'We Don't Have A Seller'

If building wealth feels impossible, you're not alone — especially when you're just getting started. But according to late billionaire investor Charlie Munger, the key to getting rich isn't chasing millions or betting big on the next hot stock. It starts with a single, stubborn goal: get your hands on $100,000.
"I don't care what you have to do," Munger said back in the late 1990s. "If it means walking everywhere and not eating anything that wasn't purchased with a coupon, find a way to get your hands on $100,000."
He admitted that it's a brutal milestone. "The first $100,000 is a b&#x2A;tch, but you gotta do it," he said.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $10.</a></li>

</ul>
To be clear, Munger wasn't talking about letting it sit in a checking account. He meant invested — put to work, compounding over time. Once you cross that threshold, he argued, wealth starts to build on itself. You don't need to hustle harder—you just need to be consistent, stay invested, and let the math do the heavy lifting.
And he wasn't wrong.
For someone earning an average income and managing to invest $10,000 per year, it could take close to eight years to hit that six-figure target if they're earning around 7% annually—roughly in line with long-term stock market returns. But after that, something shifts. With $100,000 invested and compounding, earning just 7% per year could turn into $200,000 in just over 10 years. Stay the course, and it could snowball to more than $1.4 million in 40 years.
That's the power Munger was talking about. Not magic. Just compound interest—amplified by time, discipline, and not losing your nerve.
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
It's also psychological. Many <a href="https://youtu.be/U1mcmB4oQU0?si=sPi-By0iu3o5DoQg">financial experts agree the $100K mark</a> is not just the hardest financially, but mentally. It's the point where habits are formed, consistency gets tested, and lifestyle choices often have to be reconsidered. Hitting that first benchmark means cutting back, avoiding shortcuts, and often working harder for longer than feels fair. And that's exactly why Munger emphasized it.
The challenge is even steeper today. <a href="https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=100,000.00&amp;year1=199801&amp;year2=202505">Adjusted for inflation</a>, $100,000 in the late '90s would be closer to $190,000 today. But the principle still holds. Getting to your first six figures is a financial boot camp—one that trains you for everything that follows.
Munger didn't just toss out this advice casually. He lived it. Alongside Warren Buffett, he built one of the most successful investing empires in American history—by focusing on fundamentals, patience, and math over hype and shortcuts.
So is Munger right? Absolutely. Whether it takes five years or fifteen, getting that first $100,000 invested is still the hardest — and most important — step to building real wealth. The rest may not be easy, but it's a lot smoother once the compounding kicks in.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-advice-for-lotto-winners">Many are surprised by Mark Cuban's advice for lotto winners: Cash or annuity?</a>
And as Munger said, no matter how hard it is: "You gotta do it."
For those still trying to hit that milestone, there are a few consistent patterns seen among people who make it happen. While everyone's situation is different, some tend to build toward that first $100,000 through a mix of high savings rates, side income, or long-term investing in low-fee index funds that have historically mirrored the S&amp;P 500's average return of around 7% annually. Others explore <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43887869/80-year-old-with-250000-nest-egg-asks-dave-ramsey-where-to-keep-it-safe-he-suggests-this-investment-for-peace-but-it-doesnt-pay-much">interest-bearing accounts like CDs</a>, which at times have offered yields between 4% and 5%, though they lack the compounding growth potential of equities over longer time horizons.
Munger himself famously said the Munger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45984919/charlie-munger-only-owned-3-stocks-and-called-diversification-a-strategy-for-people-who-know-nothing-am-i-securely-rich-damn-right-i-am">family only held about three stocks</a>—emphasizing concentration, not chasing dozens of investments. His philosophy was less about outsmarting the market and more about sticking to what you understand and holding firm.
In the end, whether it's slow, boring, or brutally hard, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43539942/are-you-rich-heres-what-americans-think-you-need-to-be-considered-wealthy-2">$100,000 goal isn't just about the number</a>—it's about proving you can do hard things consistently. And once that's done, as Munger promised, it gets better.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Essential Properties 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A report from Hunterbrook Media published on Tuesday presents a detailed investigation that reveals Western-manufactured microelectronic components are being integrated into Russian military aircraft and weapons used in precision attacks on civilian<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46289306/anduril-ceo-palmer-luckey-says-thank-you-as-trump-resumes-ukraine-arms-shipments"> targets in Ukraine.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: The investigation by the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission (NAKO) and the International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR), with <a href="https://hntrbrk.com/jet-report/">support from</a> Hunterbrook Media, traced over 1,100 microelectronic components from 141 Western companies embedded in Russian Su-34 and Su-35S fighter jets and weapons central to Moscow's precision bombing campaigns.&nbsp;

The components were from manufacturers across 11 countries, with the majority coming from U.S. chipmakers including Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), Analog Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>), On Semiconductor Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). 
The report reveals that despite international sanctions, a complex global supply chain continues to funnel Western technology into Russia.&nbsp;
The investigation analyzed over 180,000 customs shipment records from 2023, revealing a trade worth approximately $805 million in microelectronic goods.&nbsp;
Countries like Serbia play a key role as intermediaries, with sanctioned goods routed through places like Hong Kong and Sri Lanka before ending up in Russia.&nbsp;
"Russia mastered the art of circumventing sanctions," said Anastasiya Donets, head of the Ukrainian legal team at IPHR.&nbsp;
"They are still getting Western tech in Russian weapons that are killing Ukrainians every day," Donets added.&nbsp;
What Else: Several U.S. semiconductor firms — including Analog Devices, Intel, Texas Instruments and AMD — faced scrutiny during a 2024 <a href="https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/subcommittees/investigations/hearings/the-us-companies-technology-fueling-the-russian-war-machine/">hearing</a> of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, titled &#8220;The U.S. Companies' Technology Fueling the Russian War Machine.&#8221;
The hearing revealed that components from the companies were discovered in the Russian Kh-101 cruise missile responsible for the attack on Ukraine's largest children's hospital in 2024.
Senators identified critical shortcomings in the export control and compliance systems of the firms, including weak or delayed responses to external warnings about potential misuse and the absence of regular, systematic audits to detect and prevent diversion.&nbsp;
Donets said that the companies with components used in Russia's attacks have "not only legal, but also a moral obligation" to prevent their technology from being used to kill innocent people.

College? For many in Gen Z, that's starting to sound like a bad investment.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/25/05/45183830/is-college-still-worth-it-gen-z-and-millennials-are-losing-faith-as-ai-disrupts-the-job-market">Why rack up student debt</a> when you can make six figures welding, plumbing, or wiring up a house? That's been the thinking behind the surge in trade-school enrollment — and the so-called "toolbelt generation" is proud to be hands-on. But according to recent data, some of the very careers drawing young workers away from traditional degrees are also posting some of the highest unemployment rates.
According to a <a href="https://www.creditkarma.com/about/commentary/gen-z-drives-a-resurgence-in-blue-collar-work">2024 Harris Poll for Intuit Credit Karma</a>, 78% of Americans believe more young people are choosing trade jobs over college. And they're not wrong. Data from the <a href="https://www.studentclearinghouse.org/nscblog/vocational-focused-public-2-years-lead-enrollment-rise/">National Student Clearinghouse</a> shows trade program enrollment is booming, especially in construction and repair.&nbsp;

</ul>
On TikTok and Reddit, you'll find Gen Zers touting the benefits of working with their hands: faster paydays, no student loans, and a belief that jobs like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45613320/ai-is-gutting-entry-level-jobs-and-gen-z-is-paying-the-price-warns-linkedins-aneesh-raman">welding and plumbing are "AI-proof."</a>
But a new <a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/best-entry-level-jobs/3716">study from WalletHub</a> throws a wrench in that narrative. Among entry-level roles, building inspectors, electricians, and plumbers are tied for the highest unemployment rate: 7.2%. That's more than three times the unemployment rate for entry-level financial analysts (2.3%), and more than double the rate for graphic designers (3.3%).
Why the mismatch? For one, these roles are often tied to broader economic cycles. It makes sense when you think about it — jobs like plumbing, electrical work, and inspections often depend on new construction and renovations. When building slows down, so does demand. Factor in seasonal shifts and unpredictable project timelines, and some tradespeople may find themselves hustling for steady work.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
And it's not just about job security. A <a href="https://www.careerexplorer.com/careers/electrician/satisfaction/#:~:text=Electricians%20are%20below%20average%20when,the%20bottom%2029%25%20of%20careers.">survey by CareerExplorer</a> found that some trade roles are struggling in other areas too — especially when it comes to satisfaction. Electricians, for instance, rated their career happiness at just three out of five stars, landing in the bottom 29% of all professions. The work is physically demanding, often involves long hours, and in some cases, faces pressure from automation and prefabricated systems.
That doesn't mean all trade paths are risky. Specialized roles — like geotechnical engineers, mining technicians, and drilling specialists — showed far stronger long-term employment and pay stability. It's the generalist roles, especially those dependent on cyclical construction markets, where new workers may hit snags.
Still, for many Gen Zers, the appeal of avoiding $30,000 in student loans and landing a $60,000–$100,000 paycheck early in life is hard to ignore. And with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">AI threatening to upend traditional office jobs</a>, trades still feel like a safer, more grounded choice.
But the data serves as a reminder: not all six-figure trade jobs are built the same. Some may come with more downtime than expected — even if they look solid on paper.
So yes, Gen Z might be trading college degrees for toolboxes. Just don't assume that every wrench comes with job security.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) recently reported a 13.5% year-over-year decline fo<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46221375/tesla-stock-jumps-on-strong-q2-deliveries">r second-quarter vehicle deliveries.</a> A new report showed the impact the Chinese market may have played in the decline.
What Happened: Tesla has struggled with demand in many parts of the world in 2025 with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-tariff-landscape-and-changing-political-sentiment-cloud-guidance">first-quarter deliveries</a> also down year-over-year.
Data from the China Passenger Car Association showed that Tesla deliveries in the second quarter were down 4.3% quarter-over-quarter and down 11.7% year-over-year. The company delivered 128,803 vehicles in China during the second quarter according to the data, reported by <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/07/08/tesla-tsla-sales-decline-china-despite-model-y-refresh-record-discounts/">Electrek</a>.
The company initially said the Model Y refresh and discounts would help boost demand in China in the second quarter. But, a sales decline happened even with the Model Y refresh and all variants of the top-selling electric vehicle available.

Why It's Important: China is one of the largest electric vehicle markets in the world and a major source of deliveries for Tesla. While Tesla faces competition from other companies in the region, recent data showed that it could be struggling even greater than originally feared.
The data also showed that Tesla&#8217;s claims that the Model Y refresh and discounts would boost second-quarter deliveries in the region did not end up happening.
According to the report, Tesla was offering 0% financing on the Model 3 and Model Y in China during parts of the second quarter, marking record discounts.
While Tesla is facing continued pressure over boycotts and brand damage in Europe and the U.S., the report shows that in China it could be competition such as Xpeng, Xiaomi and others that are hurting demand for Tesla vehicles with EVs that are priced less than the Model Y.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla stock closed Tuesday up 1.32% Tuesday to $297.81 versus a 52-week trading range of $182 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 21.5% year-to-date in 2025.
