Tesla's (TSLA) stock momentum seems to have stalled Friday morning after shareholders voted to approve CEO Elon Musk's pay packages — valued at nearly $46 billion — at the company's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday. Many analysts and Wall Street experts have shared new, incredibly bullish forecasts for the EV company, including Wedbush's Dan Ives — whose latest call sees Tesla's market cap reaching over $1 trillion in 2025 — and Ark Invest (ARKK) Founder, CEO, and CIO Cathie Wood, who believes the stock could reach $2,600 by 2029. However, not everyone shares this enthusiasm around Tesla and Elon Musk. Clean Energy Transition CEO and Portfolio Manager Per Lekander — a long-time Tesla short-seller — joins The Morning Brief to explain his $15 price target, likening Tesla to "the next Enron." "Let's not forget, that the stock is down 60% from all-time high at the same time as the market has gone up, 20, 25% in the meantime," Lekander says, citing Tesla's earnings and its year-to-date stock losses. "So the stock needs to go down. Once it goes down, it's going to go down more. And I think what drives it down is earnings. And I think we are very, very close to the turning point because so far it's been a slippery slope. They've sold cars poorly therefore they lowered the price, therefore earnings went down..." Lekander characterizes Musk as "missing... what's going on in the overall EV space" coming out of COVID-19 pandemic trends.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -New York Attorney General Letitia James has recovered $50 million from the cryptocurrency platform Gemini Trust to repay investors defrauded in its Gemini Earn program, she said on Friday.

The payout is in addition to James' related $2 billion settlement with crypto lender Genesis Global Capital, which she announced on May 20.
On today's episode of Good Buy or Goodbye, host Julie Hyman is joined by Threadneedle founder Ann Berry to discuss her top stock picks within the tech sector. Berry recommends Palo Alto Networks (PANW) as a buy, highlighting the company's strong positioning in the cybersecurity market. She notes that businesses are increasingly seeking to outsource their "cybersecurity solutions from one place," and Palo Alto's business model caters to this demand. Additionally, Berry emphasizes that the company has forged "big strategic relationships" and secured contracts with multiple prominent enterprises, such as United Healthcare (UNH) and IBM (IBM). Furthermore, Palo Alto boasts an impressive 37% free cash flow margin, which Berry believes could facilitate strategic acquisitions and fuel future growth. On the other hand, Berry names PayPal (PYPL) as a stock to avoid, citing concerns about the company's lack of an execution strategy. She argues that while PayPal "should be winning on gaining share," the new CEO has yet to implement or announce "a big, bold" strategy to drive growth and capture market share. Berry also notes that the company's go-to-market tactics, which were once a strategic advantage, have surprisingly underperformed. Consequently, she believes that without a clear turnaround plan or strategic vision, PayPal will continue to lose ground to competitors in the highly competitive digital payments space.

China's central bank faces a looming test of its resolve to curb the financial stability risks it sees in a rallying bond market as it runs counter to its view of the economy by depicting a long-term outlook of soft growth and low inflation. The People's Bank of China, which has pledged to add treasury bond trading to its monetary policy toolkit, has issued repeated warnings against plummeting yields in long-dated government bonds, but has failed to reverse the trend. Pressure is growing on the PBOC to back statements with action - meaning it would be forced to end a 17-year absence from the bond market by selling.
Evan Tindell, the founder and chief investment officer of Bireme Capital, has approximately 40% of his assets invested in Japanese mid- to small-cap stocks. Tindell joins Catalysts to share his perspective on the opportunities within this market. Tindell advises investors to focus on the valuations of individual companies rather than solely relying on the actions of their respective central banks. This strategy has led him to identify "the biggest opportunity in Japan." Despite Japan's inflationary environment mirroring that of the United States, Tindell believes the Bank of Japan is "likely to normalize rates over a longer period of time." However, this doesn't change his outlook on the potential of Japanese stocks. As more Japanese companies shift their focus toward catering to shareholders, Tindell sees catalysts emerging in the form of share buybacks, dividend payments, and, eventually, the "opening up" of the market "for corporate control."
