On June 26, Tesla rose 3.25% in regular trading, trading at $387.74/share, with turnover of $6.656 billion. The stock rebounded from the prior session's decline, driven by a confluence of bullish catalysts.
On the news front, Baird analysts predicted that a Tesla-SpaceX merger transaction would materialize within 12 to 18 months, assigning a probability exceeding 80%. The merger thesis positions a combined entity as a tech conglomerate comparable to NVIDIA and Apple, with the acquisition premium lending support to Tesla's near-term valuation.
Simultaneously, Tesla announced its Berlin Gigafactory will raise weekly production to 7,500 vehicles starting October, representing a further 20% capacity increase, with approximately 1,000 new hires planned to support the ramp. The options market had already signaled bullish positioning, with a $264,900 call option bet targeting the $420 strike price expiring July 2, and net bullish options flow totaling $700,500 against just $103,000 in bearish bets.
Within the Automobile Manufacturers sector, the broader group traded higher. Among peers, Ferrari rose 4.39%, Rivian gained 3.90%, Ford advanced 2.09%, NIO climbed 2.01%, and General Motors added 1.10%.
