It's sad to say, but I'm glad we're at a point where shareholders now look at job cuts as a negative, and layoffs don't result in an increase in share price.
Amazon have been cutting jobs for their third year running now, on top of URA, and the only thing keeping our CEO in a job right now is happy shareholders.
You must be looking at a different chart.
God fucking damnit, I hate Wall Street.
Best example of how Monkey-brain driven the markets are.
Zoom out about a week.
Its fair to say that last week, TSLA was oversold and is now bouncing back from that. But the -55% profits and -$2.3ish Billion FCF are bad numbers.
TSLA is down from $180, where it was just a few weeks ago. $140 prices this past week apparently was too low, but there's no chance in hell that TSLA goes back up to pre-Q1 announcement numbers. Q1 2024 was awful. Declining sales around the world in all major areas: China, Europe, AND USA. They're weak everywhere.

I’ve been bearish on Tesla for years, but it’s getting increasingly obvious with growing EV competition that their market cap is/was absurd hype that defies fundamentals or even possible value if Tesla was a monopoly
A 6 month chart is supposed to correlate with the effect of today's layoffs announcement?
The layoffs were known last week though.
Sure, the news is finally talking about the layoffs, but people were locked out of their badges and complaining last week about this. So now its official today, but it was public knowledge last week when that price declined dramatically.
So the employees were nominally on the books until today. Big woop. They stopped working a week ago and complained about it online. You can't hide a mass of 10,000+ sad and angry employees talking shit about Tesla. The stock moved on that before the official layoff announcement today.
I don't think they do view it as negative, their stock is climbing aggressively on this news.
Well. It's climbing based on today's news.
The layoffs have been known for a while so it seems more likely that it's climbing based on other factors, like the hokum about still focusing on a low-prices car.
