JPMorgan analysts reemphasized their “underweight” rating on Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) stock with a $145 price target, suggesting the stock is overvalued by nearly 60%. Tesla shares are down 2.6% today.

Wired reports that Intel (INTC) is in active discussions with both Google and Amazon over advanced chip packaging contracts, a critical piece of the company’s broader foundry revival strategy. CFO Dave Zinsner has signaled that the chipmaker is nearing the finish line on packaging agreements that could generate billions in annual revenue.
JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon issued his latest annual letter, warning that the Iran war has the potential to unleash oil and commodity shocks that keep inflation stubbornly elevated and drive rates well beyond what Wall Street is penciling in.
Dimon once exclaimed, “When you see one cockroach, there are probably more,” about failing lenders. This time around, he’s not overly worried about the private credit situation, suggesting it’s probably not a systemic risk but that credit losses could surprise to the downside.

After a dramatic U.S. Air Force rescue over the weekend, the markets are kicking off the week on a cautious note as geopolitical headlines shift to a possible ceasefire in the ongoing war in Iran. The Nasdaq Composite is posting slight gains, led by the likes of Micron (Nasdaq: MU | MU Price Prediction), Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) and AMD (Nasdaq: AMD). Oil prices are easing from their highs, but both WTI and Brent Crude continue to hover above the psychologically sensitive $100-per-barrel threshold. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz climbed to its highest levels since the early days of the war, with 21 ships passing through over the weekend. In normal times, 135 ships make that same journey every single day.
Here’s a look at where things stand as of morning trading:
Dow Jones Industrial Average: 46,439 Down 0.14%
Nasdaq Composite: 21,901 Up 0.11%
S&P 500: 6,582 flat
Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) stock is recouping some lost ground, tacking on 1% today after last week’s disappointing EV delivery numbers. Canaccord Genuity analysts remain bullish on the stock, keeping a “buy” rating with a $420 price target attached, suggesting runway for roughly 15% gains.
Micron (Nasdaq: MU) is already down more than 20% from its peak three weeks ago, and relief may not be coming anytime soon.

CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) is betting big on itself, boosting its share buyback program by $500 million and catapulting the total program to $1.5 billion.
