On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Tesla (TSLA) shares sank as Elon Musk and President Donald Trump’s simmering feud devolved into a public war of words between two of the world’s most powerful people.
Trump on Thursday said he was “very disappointed” by the Tesla chief executive officer’s criticism of the president’s signature tax policy bill. Musk fired back in several social media posts, saying in one that “without me, Trump would have lost the election.” The president later floated terminating federal contracts and subsidies extended to Musk’s companies and said that he had asked the Tesla and SpaceX leader to leave his administration, which Musk said was a “lie.” Musk went a step further late in the day, saying he would decommission a SpaceX craft used by the US.
- Lululemon (LULU) shares fell sharply after its latest earnings report highlighted the risk posed by new tariffs while exacerbating investor concerns about slowing growth.
The company sees sales in the range of $2.54 billion to $2.56 billion for its fiscal second quarter, below the average analyst estimate. For the full year, Lululemon reduced its earnings per share outlook by about 2.5%. The company and its retail peers are trying to manage supply chains that have been upended by US President Donald Trump’s trade wars. Apparel and footwear production hubs in Asia including China and Vietnam face elevated tariff rates as the White House negotiates new trade deals.
- Planet Labs (PL) shares skyrocketed as much as 55% - a record jump — after the company’s first-quarter revenue topped expectations. Citizens analyst said the satellite-data provider had a “stellar quarter” and the stock remains an opportunity for long-term capital appreciation.
