Tesla On A 7-Week High

Tesla started the year with an opening price of $250.43 per share. The year has been bearish for Tesla investors as the share price has continued to fall. The lowest price of Tesla in 2024 is $138.49 which hit on the 22nd of April. That low was last reached on January 23, 2023. The price has rebounded from the low and price is currently at $177.70. The bounce was a result of gap-ups on the 24th and 29th of April.

An inverted head and shoulder might be formed as a result of the price action, with the shoulders at $175.90 and the head at $138.99. News media across the internet stated that Tesla is said to cut off 500 employees in the supercharger team. Another news media says Tesla is about to layoff 10% of its global workforce, as Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced the dismissal of two senior executives, Rebecca Tinucci and Daniel Ho and more hundreds of employees.

The RSI on the daily chart has shown that price has been oversold thrice this year, January, March and February. This could be an indication of a possible price reversal. We don’t see the layoff as a threat to the price of Tesla. Our analysts are projecting that price could rally to $268.92 in the coming weeks. This will automatically erase the losses of 2024.

Vertiv Gains 29% Amidst The Current Market Situation

Vertiv is an American provider of equipment and services for data centers. Vertiv Holdings was formerly known as Emerson Network Power in 2016. As of now, Vertiv has a total staff strength of 27,000 globally. Vertiv Holdings had its IPO in July 2018 at $9.68. It is listed on NYSE as $VRT. On the monthly chart since its IPO, price ranged until December 2019 when a new high was reached at $12.43. Just like most stocks, $VRT dipped during the lockdown to an all-time low of $4.76.

As price bounced from the all-time low, a major rally occurred, which took price to $28.88 in September 2021. Despite the price fall of Vertiv in 2022, the company had a revenue of $5.6 billion. The value of Vertiv Holdings dropped as a result of material and freight inflation. It was $40 million worse than expected, and “foreign exchange, divestitures, and other” was $45 million worse than expected in 2022.

Since the beginning of this year, Vertiv Holdings has brought relief to investors as price rallied to break the previous high at $28.88. On the 2nd of August 2023, price of $VRT jumped to $33.01 from $26.51, which was the close of the previous day. The gap-up is yet to be corrected as price is currently consolidating despite general market trends in the last one month being bearish.

The all-time high stands at $36.73. This was reached on August 4, 2023. We foresee a breakout to the upside in the coming weeks leading to a new high which will replace the current all-time high.
