Top five Chinese stocks to watch now


Tesla earnings

Tesla’s earnings are expected to drop 20% year-over-year as deep price cuts hit gross margins. Revenue is expected to increase by 26% to $23.73 billion, but will be lower sequentially compared to the fourth quarter.

Already in April, Tesla cut prices further in the United States, Europe and other major markets. China’s EV competitors are introducing a slew of new models this week, many of which challenge Tesla’s aging lineup. So analysts will want to see how margins might come down, and whether deliveries will continue to rise. Investors will also want updates on the Tesla Cybertruck, the updated Model 3 and any hints about the next-generation platform. Tesla bulls also have high hopes for the company’s energy storage business.

Tesla stock

Tesla stock fell 1.5% to 184.31 on Tuesday, continuing to face resistance at the 50-day moving average. The stock has a 207.89 point buy handle cup base that formed just below the 200-day moving average. Investors may prefer to use a decisive break of the 200-day line, currently around 213, as the entry for TSLA stock. The third potential buying point for Tesla stock would be a strong move above the 50-day post-earnings line, providing early entry.

Market rally analysis

The stock market rally had another quiet day, as major indexes didn’t move much after giving up some early gains.

There is nothing wrong with the market digesting the gains and trading tightly near the top of recent consolidations and the highs of 2023, especially as earnings season approaches. This is to let the big stocks take a break while the others prepare.

While market breadth improved significantly on the New York Stock Exchange, it was less impressive on the Nasdaq. There is a tug of war between new highs versus new lows.

It’s time to market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy


What are you doing now

Buying opportunities have been relatively limited over the past several days, although investors could have picked some of them. It’s not the time to dramatically increase market exposure from current levels, whatever those levels may be. The sideways movement of the market, while constructive, does not provide a real boost for individual stocks. This is likely why many promising stock moves fade near the open.

Also, earnings season is likely to swing in stocks, sectors, and indices over the next several sessions.

But there are plenty of stocks showing interesting action from a variety of sectors. Investors want to be ready to increase exposure more meaningfully. So have your watchlists ready.

Read the big picture every day to stay in sync with the market trend, leading stocks and sectors.
