Tesla shares lose 52% in 2022

Shares of Tesla Inc. fell by more than 6.0% yesterday, forcing analysts to revise their price targets. Considering the situation the company is in now, analysts now believe Tesla stock would need to rise by a whopping 80% to reach its median analyst target price. Shares of the company, which is headed by Elon Musk, have already fallen by 52% this year to $167.87, well below analysts' projections of a 12-month average price of $302. This year's downturn has brought Tesla's market capitalization down to just $530 billion, a far cry from the $1 trillion valuation it had in April.

Right now, the company is facing multiple challenges due to renewed quarantine measures in China, which are again paralyzing supply chains. Furthermore, Musk has shifted his focus to Twitter Inc. This is compounded by rising commodity prices and buyers being pressured by inflation and rising interest rates.

Despite this, many analysts stick to their optimistic forecasts: 27 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg recommend buying the company's shares, 11 recommend holding them, and seven recommend selling them. The most optimistic forecast sees Tesla stock reaching a price of $530.

However, it's clear that shares of many companies, including Tesla, will struggle to recover in the coming years, especially given the Federal Reserve's ongoing policy.

Premarket movers

Currently, Tesla has added 1.54% during the premarket, but that gain is very precarious.

Shares of Zoom declined by 8.9% in premarket action due to weak fourth-quarter outlook, despite the videoconferencing company beating earnings and revenue expectations.

Technology giant Dell gained as much as 6% after the company exceeded third-quarter earnings per share estimates, which stood at $2.30 after adjustments, about 44% above the $1.60 expected by analysts.

Shares of clothing company Urban Outfitters added 2.6% after it reported higher-than-expected revenue growth in the third quarter of 2022. Earnings per share narrowly missed expectations. However, Urban Outfitters lost 1.96% at the end of the previous trading session.

Shares of Agilent jumped by 4.1% after the consumer electronics company beat expectations for per-share earnings and revenue in the fourth quarter.

On the technical side, the S&P 500 remains in a sideways channel after yesterday's rather quiet trading session. The main goal for bulls right now is to defend the support level of $3,942. As long as the index will remain above this level, demand for risky assets should remain. This will allow the instrument to increase and regain $3,968 and $4,003. Above it lies the level of $4,038, a breakout of which make a further upward correction towards the resistance at $4,064 more likely. The most distant target is $4,091. If the index breaks below $3,942, it will quickly drop to $3,905. From there it could test the support at $3,861. A breakout below this level will quickly push the trading instrument down to $3,905, and it will also allow the index to test the support at $3,861.
