FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN TESLA (TSLA) STOCK
Before investing in Tesla (TSLA) stock, here are some things to consider.
Tesla’s (TSLA) risky price-cutting strategy
Tesla (TSLA) has been a standout performer in recent years, consistently achieving remarkable financial results. However, in 2023, many investors anticipated a slowdown for the automaker due to a more challenging economic landscape.
As anticipated, Tesla’s (TSLA) Q1 results displayed signs of weakness, with revenue and operating profit declining compared to the previous quarter. This trend continued into the second quarter, where although revenue showed a robust 47% year-over-year increase, operating income experienced a 3% decrease due to a substantial contraction in the operating margin, dropping from 14.6% to 9.6%. While Tesla (TSLA) sells more vehicles, its per-car profitability has noticeably decreased.
The company could run out of batteries for their products.
The lack of batteries to power their goods was one of the early issues Tesla (TSLA) executives faced. Tesla (TSLA) continues building its legendary Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada, which should address the company's battery shortage. The lithium-ion manufacturing facility anticipates assisting in the production increase to more than 500,000 Tesla (TSLA) cars yearly and has a planned footprint of more than 1.9 million square feet.
Even though the building is just 30% finished, Musk has said Tesla (TSLA) may need more than one gigafactory to meet demand.
To keep the business humming along and the stockholders satisfied, the company will require enormous capital expenditures (CapEx).

Apple (AAPL) Stock
FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN APPLE (AAPL) STOCK
Before investing in Apple (AAPL), here are some factors you should consider.
Dependency on innovation
New product categories or products that would redefine an existing category are necessary for future growth. Instead of reinvesting in R&D or making acquisitions, the corporation intends to return its cash via share repurchases and dividends.
Therefore, there is a chance that the business won't be able to maintain its "innovation" strategy in the future because it isn't using that money now to develop tomorrow's technology.
Possibility of growth
Most analysts concur that iPhone sales drive Apple (AAPL). The company's ability to generate significant year-over-year growth will depend on its ability to expand into new areas, particularly the success of its endeavor in China.
Also, the business can look into new markets for TV/DVD/set-top boxes, watches, streaming services, game consoles, and other "wearables." While these might open up new growth prospects, they won't spur an increase in profitability in the near term (the next 18 months to 2 years) like the anticipated rising domestic demand for the iPhone.
APPLE (AAPL) STOCK FORECAST
The 38 analysts providing 12-month price projections for Apple (AAPL) set a consensus price objective of $ 200.00. High and low estimates range from 240.00 to 125.00. Meanwhile, the median forecast reflects a rise of +14.46 percent over the most recent price of 174.74.
