Tesla and Nvidia Shares Rebound 3% After a Sharp Drop Yesterday

Tesla and Nvidia shares rebounded 3% in premarket trading on Thursday after a sharp drop on Wednesday.

Tesla shares sank more than 8% on Wednesday, notching their steepest drop since before Donald Trump’s election victory last month, which sparked a sharp rally in the stock.

Tesla closed at $440.13, and is still up 75% since Election Day on Nov. 5. Last week, the stock climbed to a record, surpassing its prior high reached in 2021. Ahead of Wednesday’s drop, it had continued going up, closing at a high of $479.86 on Tuesday.

The pullback coincided with a steep drop in the broader market, including a 3.6% plunge in the Nasdaq, the second-worst day of the year for the tech-heavy index.

Nvidia stock once jumped as much as 4.8% Wednesday as Wall Street analysts reiterated their Buy ratings on the stock despite concerns about rising competition and the possibility that AI chip demand could wane.

But shares reversed direction Wednesday afternoon, ending the day down roughly 1%, as stocks fell across the board following commentary from the Federal Reserve projecting fewer rate cuts and stickier inflation in 2025.

Over the past few days, Wall Street analysts at Bernstein, TD Cowen, Morgan Stanley, and Truist have maintained bullish outlooks on the company.
