Conclusion of US elections should spur customer capex activity. Prospects of heightened tariffs under a second Trump administration will spur supply chain realignment activities. He has already announced he will slap a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, coupled with an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports the day he is inaugurated. We expect to see more US reshoring activities, as production is brought back to the US. Given its US customer base, Greatech is a beneficiary of this, as we expect customer capex plans to resume, after stalling for the large part of 2024.

BMW (ETR:BMWG) has publicly praised the capabilities of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, version 13.2, in a social media post that reached its 2.6 million followers.

"[V]ery impressive," BMW posted on X in response to a video of FSD 13.2 from AI DRIVR.

The commendation from the German automaker has led to speculation about a potential licensing agreement between BMW and Tesla, although no official deal has been announced.

The expression of interest by BMW suggests tha

The investment bank noted investor enthusiasm around Tesla's role in AI, renewable energy, and onshoring trends, emphasizing its potential to expand into broader markets beyond automotive.

"Elon Musk's entry into the political sphere has expanded investor thinking around Tesla's fundamental outlook," said the bank.

They anticipate Tesla's leadership in the autonomous and electric mobility sectors will grow amid evolving U.S. policies, cementing its position in the industrial landscape.

With Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s stock closing in on the $400 per share mark, Investing.com's poll this week aims to assess the investor sentiment regarding how far it can run by the end of the year.

Tesla shares closed Monday's session at $389.79 after climbing as high as $404 a share earlier in the day. Premarket Tuesday, the stock is up 1% at $393.74.

So, with a close above $400 potentially on the horizon: Will Tesla Hit $500 per Share By The End of 2024?

Analysts are unsure. In a note to client

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) raised its target for Tesla to $400, although they reiterated it as a top pick.

Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald's latest price target increase suggests they do not expect Tesla to hit $500 a share. The firm raised its target on Tesla to $365 from $255 while maintaining a Neutral rating.

The firm said in a note today that they are becoming more bullish on Robotaxi and SelfDriving. However, they remain neutral on the electric vehicle company's valuation and await a better e

We are becoming more bullish on Tesla's Robotaxi segment, following President-elect Trump's plans to potentially develop a federal framework for self-driving vehicles in the United States, and an update to the company's FSD software," said Cantor Fitzgerald. "If [the] framework is established by the Transportation Department, then we see Tesla as a major beneficiary."

They added: "Last week TSLA released an update to its autonomous software via FSD version 13.2, which includes several enhanceme
