01/07/2026 03:42 AM • Tesla stock has declined over 12% from its December all-time highs amid concerns about China factory shipments falling for a second consecutive year and slowing global EV demand. BYD has been confirmed as the world's largest EV seller in 2025. Analysts present two trading strategies: buying the dip ahead of earnings (with New Street Research maintaining a Buy rating and $600 price target), or waiting for confirmation after the earnings report to assess whether management can address demand concerns.

Technical indicators show bearish crossover and oversold conditions. However, long-term uptrend remains intact and analyst support suggests weakness may be temporary.
