Tesla stock price forecast swings: Wall Street split from $25 to $600 ahead of earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Tesla shares edged higher on Wednesday as fresh price forecasts from Wall Street widened the gap between bulls betting on self-driving and bears focused on the car business. The stock was up about 0.6% at $435.40 in afternoon trade. The calls matter because Tesla is due to report fourth-quarter results after the close on Jan. 28, a reset point for expectations on profit, pricing and the timetable for new products. Tesla said earlier this month it delivered 418,227 vehicles in the quarter and deployed a record 14.2 gigawatt-hours of energy

New York, January 7, 2026, 14:27 (ET) — Regular session Valero Energy Corp shares rose 4.4% to $186.08 in afternoon trade on Wednesday after the refiner said it will keep importing gasoline into Northern California as it idles its 145,000-barrel-per-day Benicia refinery in April 2026.

Europa Clipper’s UV look at Comet 3I/ATLAS backs water-ice call as radio “technosignature” scan finds none

Europa Clipper’s UV look at Comet 3I/ATLAS backs water-ice call as radio “technosignature” scan finds none

WASHINGTON, January 7, 2026, 14:24 (EST) NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft caught interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in ultraviolet light while the object was hidden from Earth-based and near-Earth observatories, the SETI Institute said on Tuesday. It detected hydrogen and oxygen in the comet’s coma — the cloud of gas around its nucleus — pointing to water-ice sublimation, and saw no sign the comet broke apart. Europa Clipper used an ultraviolet spectrograph built for Jupiter’s moon Europa in what SETI described as a rapid repurpose. SETI Institute That matters because 3I/ATLAS is only the third known object seen passing through the solar system from

Netflix stock price forecast: NFLX stuck near $90 as Warner vote backs deal and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Netflix shares edged down 0.2% to $90.50 on Wednesday, after Warner Bros. Discovery’s board again urged shareholders to reject a rival bid from Paramount Skydance and stick with Netflix’s offer. Axios That matters now because the merger fight has become a daily driver of sentiment around Netflix’s near-term path, not just its streaming numbers. Warner said Paramount’s amended offer would amount to a leveraged buyout — an acquisition financed mostly with borrowed money — and flagged roughly $87 billion of pro forma gross debt in the structure.
