Tesla shares closed down 14.52% after the company released its second-quarter results, according to market data from BIT (bit.com). The stock later edged up 1.16% in after-hours trading to $323.4. While Tesla posted record-high revenue and vehicle deliveries for the quarter, investors focused on weaker profitability, negative free cash flow and a sharp rise in capital expenditure. Those figures raised concerns about near-term financial pressure. Several Wall Street institutions said Tesla is moving into a phase of large-scale investment in artificial intelligence and robotics. In their view, that spending is weighing on short-term earnings, even as Robotaxi and the Optimus humanoid robot remain the main drivers of the company’s long-term valuation.
