At Toyota shareholder meeting, all eyes on level of support for chairman
Toyota Motor Chairman Akio Toyoda may be in no danger of not being re-elected at the automaker's annual general meeting on Tuesday, but any further big drop in shareholder support could lead to increased action on governance reforms. This year's AGM will follow scandals involving violations of certification tests at Toyota and its group companies including compact car maker Daihatsu and truck unit Hino Motors. Proxy advisory firms Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis have recommended that Toyoda not be re-elected, citing concerns over governance and the board's independence.

Tesla vs. Toyota: Kevin Paffrath compares automaker growth
Financial analyst and YouTuber Kevin Paffrath ("Meet Kevin") joins Market Domination to discuss Tesla's valuation as CEO Elon Musk touted the company's AI initiatives at Thursday's shareholder meeting. Paffrath believes there is a large difference between what Tesla is going to deliver versus what Elon Musk promises. He states that compared to Toyota (TM), Tesla has been on a downward trend: "The difference between the two companies is growth. I value Tesla at a PEG ratio [Price/Earnings-to-Growth] of 1.67, assuming we can get about 30% growth once we bottom out from here. Toyota's growing, in some years, it's projected to grow negatively, but more reasonably, it's growing somewhere between 5-6%, which is barely above the rate of inflation. So that's one of the reasons you see the valuation disparity." He adds, "I think you can go short, and people get mad at me for saying this, but it's just a hedge. It's a macro hedge. You go short bitcoin, you could use a fund like BITI (BITI). I'm not affiliated with them. It's a negative one. The reason for that is when risk assets sell off, Tesla goes down... you don't want to short the whole market for a hedge because that's not going to work. You specifically want an offsetting risk hedge." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
