Uber stock slides after-hours as robotaxi fears resurface, with earnings next in focus

New York, January 22, 2026, 19:18 EST — After-hours trading. Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) shares dropped 2.0% Thursday, closing at $82.56, despite gains in the Nasdaq and Dow. The stock remains roughly 19% shy of its 52-week peak, with trading volume edging above its 50-day average. (MarketWatch) The recent drop is significant as investors grapple with what “driverless” tech means for ride-hailing profits — who owns the cars, who manages demand, and who pockets the margins. Tesla’s newest move in Austin keeps the debate heated, often dragging Uber and Lyft into the mix. (Reuters) Bernstein’s Nikhil Devnani believes Uber’s current

Tesla stock jumps as Musk flags “next month” FSD approvals and drops robotaxi safety monitors in Austin

New York, January 22, 2026, 4:03 PM ET — After-hours Tesla shares jumped 4.1% to $449.15 on Thursday after CEO Elon Musk announced the company had launched robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas, operating without safety drivers onboard. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Musk said he hopes driver-supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) will get approval in Europe “hopefully next month,” with China following a similar timeline. (Reuters) These updates are crucial for Tesla’s stock, as investors have largely based the company’s value on the hope that software and autonomy will outpace car sales. That wager has driven much of

Tesla stock rises in premarket as Musk flags “agonizingly slow” Cybercab, Optimus ramp and Lemonade bets on FSD

NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2026, 09:21 (EST) — Premarket Tesla shares climbed about 1.2% to $436.78 in premarket trading Thursday, following a 2.9% gain on Wednesday that closed at $431.44.

Tesla stock slips as U.S. safety probe on Full Self-Driving gets a new deadline

Tesla stock slips as U.S. safety probe on Full Self-Driving gets a new deadline

New York, January 16, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session underway Tesla shares slipped in early Friday trading after U.S. auto safety regulators gave the company extra time to respond to a federal investigation into its Full Self-Driving system. The extension prolongs regulatory uncertainty around a crucial element of Tesla’s investor appeal: its software and driver-assistance features, which promise recurring revenue as the electric-vehicle market evolves and price cuts take effect. With earnings less than two weeks away, the timing is far from ideal. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration pushed back Tesla’s deadline for critical responses to Feb. 23.

Tesla stock slides as Musk shifts Full Self-Driving to subscription-only

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 4:01 PM EST — After-hours Tesla shares slipped Wednesday following CEO Elon Musk’s announcement that the company will stop selling its Full Self-Driving software as a one-time purchase. Starting Feb. 14, the feature will be available only via monthly subscription. Last year, U.S. safety regulators launched an investigation into 2.88 million Tesla vehicles after reports linked the system to traffic violations and crashes. (Reuters) The pricing shift is significant since FSD remains one of the limited tools Tesla can adjust without ramping up factory production. Investors want evidence that software and services can step up

Tesla stock rises after CPI print; Wolfe lays out robotaxi milestones investors want next

New York, Jan 13, 2026, 09:33 EST — Regular session Tesla shares climbed early Tuesday, buoyed by a steadier mood among rate-sensitive growth stocks following the latest U.S. inflation figures and a new analyst note highlighting autonomy. U.S. consumer prices climbed 0.3% in December, maintaining a 2.7% annual pace, according to the latest data. This keeps the Federal Reserve on track to leave rates unchanged at its Jan. 27-28 meeting. “We got a modicum of good news with today’s CPI report,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B.

Uber stock heads into Monday with robotaxi rules back in focus after Waymo protest

New York, Jan 11, 2026, 16:35 (EST) — Market closed. Uber Technologies Inc (UBER.N) closed Friday down 2.5% at $85.44, with intraday moves ranging from $84.90 to $88.00. U.S. markets remain closed Sunday, as investors weigh if robotaxis — self-driving taxis — are reemerging as a short-term regulatory and competitive trigger. This is crucial as autonomy shifts from test pilots to everyday urban driving, where the rules are far from settled. For Uber, positioned between riders and car providers, how fast the rollout happens—and how regulations take shape—could reshape costs, pricing, and ultimately who owns the customer relationship.

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 18:59 EST — Market closed Ford Motor (F.N) shares slipped 1.4% to $14.20 on Friday, pulling back after a recent rally that had lifted the stock to multi-month highs. The jump matters now because it reignites debate over whether Ford can convert driver-assistance and software into more reliable profit, just as investors reassess the outlook for rates and consumer demand.
