The Rise and Brutal Fall of EV Stocks: What’s Next?

Tornike returns to the blog with a shock post about the current state of EV stocks. The electric vehicle (EV) industry has experienced a rollercoaster ride in recent years, with stock prices soaring to unprecedented heights before plummeting back to earth. Since the start of 2024, EV stocks have sharply declined, led by Rivian, which has seen a drop of over 60% year-to-date, and Tesla, the industry giant, which is down more than 30% this year. In contrast, major market indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have remained in positive territory for the same period. This article takes a deep dive into the factors behind the rise and fall of EV stocks, examines the current state of the industry, and explores what the future may hold for the surviving players in this highly competitive and rapidly evolving market.  Click here for the full article.
