Tesla & Elon Musk, GM Outlook, McDonald's Sales: Trend -Ticker

00:00 Speaker A

It is now time for some of today's trend kickers. We observe Tesla, General Motors and McDonald's. First, the board of Tesla reports reports, the EV manufacturer for the search for a new CEO. In a declaration published on X, the company did the report as absolutely wrong. In addition, the board of Elon Musk's ability to continue to lead the company is very confident. The Tesla shares have fallen by around 30% since the beginning of the year, and analysts have blamed Dogge to take too much time from Elon Musk. The CEO assured the investors of Tesla's latest profit call that he would spend much less time for Doge from May. The shares have currently dropped by 7/10 percent.

00:56 Speaker B

Yes, and of course we have this rejection from the company here. Of course, you would have this question in the room in view of the question mark that investors were obviously sold here in the last quarter. Nevertheless, it is an interesting timing that took place from the White House after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. President Trump thanked Elon Musk for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency and says that they are welcome as long as they would like to be here, but then say quote: “I think he wants to return to his cars.” Next, General Motors will reduce his profit forecast for the year as a whole, which runs up to $ 5 billion in auto duties. In a letter to the shareholders, CEO Mary Barra wrote that the company will have a strong dialogue with the administration about trade policy. On Tuesday, President Trump signed an order to relieve some auto tariffs, although a delivery of 25% will remain for all vehicles imported to the USA. The instructions here at the beginning of the year for the company, over 15 billion now within the range of $ 10 to $ 12.5 billion.

02:26 Speaker A

Yes, exactly. And we monitored extremely precisely what the reaction of some automobile manufacturers would look like, especially in view of some tariffs in which they searched for exceptions. But these exceptions will be rolled over over time over time. And that will be a greater kind of implication that we have to watch closely to see how the manufacturers are looking for everything, the OEM and the production of these vehicles, because it really aims to ensure that some of the vehicles or most vehicles have actually expanded most of these models in the USA. And here many exceptions would actually come into play.

03:36 Speaker B

Absolutely.

03:38 Speaker A

We also follow McDonalds here this morning. After the shares of the golden arches are under pressure after the Fast food chain, in the first quarter of the previous year by 3.6%, which is the worst of the sales reserve since the Covid pandemic, since careful consumers exceed their expenses. McDonald's remained unchanged for his full year, and the CEO said that he was confident that the company's ability to navigate hard market conditions was confident. The shares of McDonald's, MCD, here by about 1.9% in front of the market.

04:21 Speaker B

Right, by calling McDonald's we get a great insight into the health of the consumer. The company talks about the consumer in this economy. This could possibly weigh many other names that are developing here. They also talk about consumers who do not necessarily come in for breakfast, but possibly reduce some of these expenses. Another story of a careful consumer. It is interesting to compare it to people like Yum brands who are a little overplayed in his Taco Bell business, um, possibly the pricing of McDonald's a little, because consumers are starting to fight but also not to fight because they have restored this instruction for the year. Of course, it depends on whether you can be able to fulfill them forward.
