'Bond King' Bill Gross Says 'Tesla Acting Like A Meme Stock,' Draws Parallels To GameStop, Chewy, And Zapp Amid Rising Pump And Dump Trends
The recent surge in Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has led to comparisons with meme stocks, a term used to describe stocks that experience rapid and often irrational price movements. This observation was made by renowned bond manager Bill Gross.
特斯拉股票最近的上涨导致人们将其与模因股票进行比较，后者是用于描述股票价格快速且经常不合理波动的术语。这一观察是由知名债券经理比尔·格罗斯做出的。
What Happened: "Bond King" Gross took to X on Tuesday to express his views on Tesla's current stock behavior. He likened the electric vehicle company's situation to that of a "meme stock," citing "sagging fundamentals" and a significant increase in stock price.
何事发生：特斯拉最近的股票行为让“债券之王”格罗斯在周二的 X 上发表了自己的观点。他将这家电动汽车公司的情况比作“模因股票”，并引用“疲软的基本面”和股价的显著增长。
Despite the 10-day winning streak, Gross believes that Tesla's recent gains are not justified due to its weakened fundamentals. This includes a year-over-year decline of 5.8% in second-quarter vehicle deliveries, which was still above analyst estimates.
尽管连续十天赢得胜利，但格罗斯认为特斯拉最近的涨势并不合理，因为其基本面已经受到削弱。这包括二季度车辆交付同比下降5.8%，但仍高于分析师的预期。
Tesla acting like a meme stock — sagging fundamentals, straight up price action.
But then there seems to be a new meme stock every other day now.
Most are pump and dump.
Chewy. Zapp. And old favorite GME.— Bill Gross (@real_bill_gross) July 9, 2024
特斯拉的行为类似于模因股票，基本面疲软，股价直线上涨。
但似乎现在每隔一天就会有一个新的模因股票。
大多数都是恶意炒作。
Chewy，Zapp 和老牌游戏驿站。—— 比尔·格罗斯（@real_bill_gross），2024年7月9日。
He also pointed out that Tesla is not the only company experiencing this kind of "pump and dump," stock behavior, mentioning other stocks such as Chewy Inc. (NYSE:CHWY), Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ZAPP), and GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME).
他还指出，特斯拉并不是唯一一家经历这种“恶意炒作”股票行为的公司，还提到其他公司，如 Chewy Inc.（NYSE: CHWY），Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Ltd.（NASDAQ: ZAPP）和游戏驿站公司（NYSE: GME）。
Why It Matters: Gross's recent remarks on Tesla come amid a broader context of his skepticism towards tech stocks.
为什么重要：格罗斯最近对特斯拉的言论出现在他对科技股持怀疑态度的更广泛背景下。
Earlier this year, Gross advised investors to avoid the tech sector despite strong quarters from companies like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), (NASDAQ:GOOGL). He recommended sticking to value stocks and highlighted energy infrastructure firms as safer bets.
今年早些时候，格罗斯建议投资者避免科技行业，尽管公司如 Microsoft Corp.（NASDAQ: MSFT）和 Alphabet Inc.（NASAQ: GOOG）（NASAQ: GOOGL）表现强劲。他建议坚持价值股，并将能源基础设施公司作为更安全的投资选择。
Meanwhile, Tesla's market share in the U.S. electric vehicle sector has been shrinking. For the first time, Tesla's EV market share fell below 50% in the second quarter, dropping to 49.7% from 59.3% in the same quarter last year, according to Cox Automotive.
同时，特斯拉在美国电动汽车市场的市场份额一直在缩小。根据 Cox Automotive 的数据，特斯拉在第二季度的电动汽车市场份额首次下降至50%以下，从去年同期的 59.3% 降至 49.7%。
Additionally, prominent investors like Cathie Wood's Ark Invest have been trimming their Tesla holdings. After selling Tesla shares for three consecutive sessions, Ark paused its sales, possibly anticipating a trend reversal.
此外，像 Cathie Wood 的 Ark Invest 这样的知名投资者一直在减持他们的特斯拉持股。在连续三个交易日出售特斯拉股票后，Ark 暂停了其销售，可能是预期趋势逆转。
Moreover, former Tesla critic Ross Gerber has shifted his stance, now expressing bullish views on the company. This change underscores the divided opinions on Tesla's long-term potential.
此外，曾经对特斯拉持批评态度的罗斯·格伯（Ross Gerber）已经改变立场，现在对公司表达看好的观点。这种变化凸显了特斯拉长期潜力的分歧看法。
