Tesla stock ticks up in premarket as Wall Street weighs AI spend, lawsuit risk and demand
Tesla shares rose 0.4% to $451 in premarket trading Tuesday as investors awaited the Jan. 28 earnings report. Wolfe Research warned increased AI spending could pressure 2026 profits but stayed “tactically constructive.” A class-action suit alleges defective door handles on 2014–2016 Model S cars. Tesla reported a 15.6% drop in Q4 deliveries, with full-year deliveries at 1.64 million.
