3 Signs Tesla Is Starting December on the Front Foot

Written by Sam Quirke. Article Published: 12/4/2025. 

Key Takeaways

• Tesla’s stock has bounced off key support, keeping its uptrend intact.
• Analysts are taking bullish stances with fresh upside targets.
• Strong data out of China and an expanding robotaxi fleet are fueling optimism heading into the new year. 

Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) closed just under $430 on Tuesday — about 12% above its recent low near $385. For a stock that has spent the past three months stuck in a tight range, that is a meaningful move and suggests the bulls may be regaining control.

With December now underway, Tesla appears to be finding its footing after a volatile autumn. A combination of technical strength, improving analyst sentiment, and better operational momentum is helping investors reset expectations heading into year-end. Here are three reasons Tesla is starting December on its front foot—and one risk to watch.

Reason #1: Technical Strength Is Back

They Laughed at $30. They Won’t Laugh at $70. (Ad)

They wrote silver off as a “boring metal,” but its move above $33 has forced analysts to reconsider what’s really driving this market. With AI hardware, EVs, solar, and next-gen electronics all dependent on silver — while global supply continues to lag — this quiet setup is starting to look like one of the most overlooked opportunities in the commodities space.

Most investors still haven’t connected the dots, which is why this new silver forecast guide breaks down the fundamentals behind the move, the real pressure building beneath the surface, and the steps to consider before silver becomes front-page news.Get the Silver Forecast Now

Tesla’s chart has quietly been building strength since the end of last month. The bounce from $385 marked a successful defense of the rising trendline that’s been in place since April, and the resulting higher low confirms the uptrend remains intact.

$385 is a key level the stock tested twice in November, and both times buyers stepped in aggressively. From a technical perspective, that resilience indicates there’s still conviction behind the shares despite months of choppy trading.

Momentum indicators support this view. The relative strength index (RSI) has risen from near-oversold levels, suggesting buying interest is returning, while the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) has logged a bullish crossover, signaling a potential next leg higher.

Taken together, these technical readings make a strong case that Tesla’s price action is increasingly in the hands of the bulls.

Reason #2: Analyst Support Is Strengthening

Sentiment on Wall Street has been largely positive in recent weeks, which is helping the stock regain momentum.

Last week, Mizuho reiterated its Outperform rating with a $475 price target, implying roughly 10% upside from current levels.

That followed Stifel Nicolaus reaffirming its Buy rating and raising its target to $508, one of the more bullish calls on the Street and implying close to 20% potential gains.

Both updates point to renewed confidence in Tesla’s growth pipeline and technology edge, particularly around its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and next-generation vehicle programs.

Analysts note that with costs stabilizing, margins improving, and key projects like the Cybercab progressing, Tesla is entering 2026 on firmer footing.

Reason #3: Operational Metrics Are Turning Positive

Beyond sentiment, Tesla’s real-world performance is beginning to flash green again after a challenging year. For example, the company plans to double its robotaxi fleet in Austin this month, a move that underscores management’s confidence in the program and its underlying technology.

Meanwhile, sales in China, one of Tesla’s key markets, have picked up noticeably. A recent update showed shipments in November rose about 10% year-over-year, marking Tesla’s second-best month for Chinese sales this year.

That is encouraging given the competitive pressure in China’s EV market and tight pricing throughout the year. Together, these developments show a business that continues to execute operationally despite broader macro uncertainty.

One Risk: European Weakness

Not all regions are firing on all cylinders. Tesla’s performance in Europe remains under pressure: registrations fell 49% in Denmark and nearly 60% in France last month compared with a year earlier. While those are relatively small markets, they highlight ongoing brand and demand challenges that could weigh on sentiment if they spread.

This slowdown has been visible for months and is largely priced into expectations. Still, with European consumer sentiment soft and competition heating up, investors should monitor these trends. If they worsen, they could limit Tesla’s ability to expand margins through 2026.

Holding the Line Into Year-End

For now, Tesla’s rebound into December suggests the bulls have the upper hand again. The technical picture has solidified, analysts are leaning bullish, and the company’s core metrics continue to impress where it matters most—China and its autonomy roadmap.

If the stock holds above $430 in the coming weeks, it would further confirm that momentum has returned. That would set the stage for a stronger start to 2026, assuming macro conditions remain supportive and execution stays sharp.

Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by  Charity Mobile

A Night Prayer

Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Quote of the Day

“Let not your heart be disturbed… Am I not here, who is your Mother? Are you not under my protection? Am I not your health? Are you not happily within my fold? What else do you wish? Do not grieve nor be disturbed by anything.” -Our Lady of Guadalupe to St. Juan Diego 

Today’s Meditation

Knowing our past, our wounds, and our resulting emotional, mental, and spiritual tendencies helps us recognize our weak points and “triggers.” Awareness of these triggers means that they can’t sneak up on us and that we are always prepared for them. It also shows us the virtues we must actively cultivate to strengthen our souls against these impulses. Importantly, this kind of self-knowledge also reveals the people and things in our past that we need to forgive! We just can’t get around forgiveness. It is a huge part of the spiritual life. No wonder Our Lord spent so much time discussing it in the Gospels and wove it into the Our Father prayer! —Good Catholic Digital Content Series, Confession

Examination of Conscience

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession.

 Reflect on the victories and losses 

Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

• Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
• In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
• Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
• Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.

 Act of Contrition 

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

 Practice gratitude 

It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day. 

• Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
• What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
• Thank God for all these moments!
• Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.

 Renew your commitment to Christ 

Remember our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

• Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
• Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
• If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
• Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.

Rest with God

The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. — Psalm 50:1

Hello All,

Please join us, our Zoom Link is below for this Saturday’ssession at 8:00 AM PST 12/13/2025. I am thankful for all of you. We show gratitude to God by “giving thanks in all circumstances …” [1Thess. 5:18a]

We will gather in two days to fellowship, but will have no prepared notes. I had a dental procedure last Friday and I am recovering slowly. Thus my notes are not as fully formed as I would like them. In addition we may fulfill our role as Christians by the simple act of fellowship and discuss the coming celebration of Jesus’ birth; the health challenges of one of the very earliest members of the Young Family – Leila Lushanlo; and the gift of MAHA.

We will start at the usual time and keep our time open for an hour so all may come and go as their own time permits.

As we work our way through the early chapters of Matthew; in Chapter 5 we come across the beatitudes. I would suggest a refreshing read of Matthew 5:13-16(Salt and Light) and then go immediately to Matthew 28:16-20 (Great Commission). Jesus has each of you in mind when uttering those words, and when read as a unit and not as separate and distinct events of Jesus ministry we more fully understand our sense of purpose. 

May the Holy Spirit bless you, keep you and bring you His peace.

Love, hank

Carvana Soars Over 10,000% From Lows—Now It’s in the S&P 500

Written by Jeffrey Neal Johnson on December 9, 2025 

At a Glance

• The company’s addition to the S&P 500 index creates significant, automatic buying demand from passive and tracker funds.
• This milestone was earned through a fundamental business transformation that delivered sustained profitability and impressive year-over-year revenue growth.
• Management has shifted its focus from survival to market dominance, backed by a fortified balance sheet and clear guidance for continued strong unit sales.

Carvana Co. (NYSE: CVNA) has just completed one of the market’s most remarkable comebacks. Just a few years after facing bankruptcy concerns that sent its stock tumbling to an all-time low of $3.72, the company is now joining the prestigious S&P 500 index. This milestone event, effective before the market opens on Dec. 22, 2025, serves as a powerful validation of a dramatic operational and financial turnaround that has seen the stock gain over 10,000% from its 2022 lows.

The market’s reaction to the news was immediate and decisive. Carvana’s stock price jumped by double digits to a new 52-week high of $456.97 on explosive trading volume of over 14 million shares, nearly four times its daily average. This is more than a symbolic victory; it is a significant technical event that will force a new wave of institutional buying, cementing the company’s status as a high-growth industry leader.

Starlink’s $100 Billion IPO: Your Chance to Invest Early (Ad)

Elon Musk’s Starlink project is generating major speculation ahead of a potential IPO that some analysts believe could reach a historic $100 billion valuation. According to James Altucher, there may be a smart “backdoor” way for everyday investors to position ahead of that event without needing traditional IPO access — and he says it can be done for under $100. He’s also sharing a free ticker tied to this trend for anyone who wants to take a closer look.Click here to learn more

The Index Effect: A Powerful, Non-Discretionary Catalyst

Carvana’s inclusion in the S&P 500 creates a powerful and automatic demand for its shares, a phenomenon known as the Index Effect. The reason lies in the mechanics of modern investing. An estimated $13 trillion in assets is directly indexed or benchmarked to the S&P 500. The massive passive funds and ETFs that track this index are now obligated to purchase Carvana stock to mirror the index’s composition accurately. For these funds, buying is not a choice based on valuation or sentiment; it is a mandate.

This creates a significant, near-term demand shock. The forced buying from passive funds provides a strong technical tailwind and a new level of support for the share price as the inclusion date approaches. This dynamic also puts immense pressure on short sellers, investors who bet that a stock’s price will fall. As of mid-November, over 11 million shares of Carvana were held short. The sudden, inelastic demand from index funds can trigger a short squeeze, a scenario where short sellers are forced to buy back shares to close out their losing positions. This rush to buy adds fuel to the fire, further accelerating the stock’s upward price momentum.

The Engine of the Turnaround: Data-Driven Validation

While the index news is a powerful catalyst, it was earned, not given. Carvana’s inclusion was made possible only after the company met the S&P’s strict financial criteria, chief among them being sustained profitability under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). This achievement serves as an institutional stamp of approval on a business that has fundamentally transformed itself from a cash-burning growth story into a profitable industry leader.

The data from its recent financial reports tells the story of this operational success.

• Profitability Mastered: After a period of significant losses, Carvana has demonstrated a strong command of its bottom line. In the third quarter of 2025, the company reported a net income of $263 million and now boasts a positive trailing twelve-month earnings per share (EPS) of $4.38.
• Explosive Growth: Proving it can scale profitably, Carvana’s revenue grew an impressive 55% year-over-year in the third quarter. This was driven by a 44% increase in retail units sold, far outpacing many of its industry peers. This performance beat revenue estimates but missed on EPS, showing that cost efficiencies remain a key focus.
• A Fortified Balance Sheet: The company has aggressively de-risked its financial position. Over the past two years, it has retired $1.2 billion in corporate debt, and its net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio now stands at a healthy 1.5x, its strongest financial position ever.

This impressive financial recovery is the result of concrete operational improvements. By integrating its acquired ADESA auction sites, the company has positioned inventory closer to customers, cutting average delivery times by a full day. In a pilot program in Phoenix, Carvana is now achieving same-day or next-day delivery for 40% of customers, a capability that sets a new standard for the industry.

From Turnaround to Market Dominance

Carvana’s recent financial performance has sparked debate over the stock’s high valuation, with its price-to-earnings ratio(P/E) now exceeding 100. This premium reflects the market’s confidence in Carvana’s disruptive potential and its progress toward its long-term target of selling 3 million vehicles annually with industry-leading profit margins.

Investors have also noted the recent pattern of stock sales by top executives. However, these transactions are typically executed under pre-scheduled Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, which allow insiders to sell shares for personal financial management and diversification. Critically, key insiders, including CEO Ernie Garcia III, continue to retain substantial equity stakes, ensuring their long-term interests remain closely aligned with those of shareholders.

With its entry into the S&P 500, Carvana is embarking on a new era. The narrative has decisively shifted from survival to market share dominance. Management’s guidance reflects this confidence, forecasting over 150,000 retail units sold in the fourth quarter and full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA at or above the high end of its $2 to $2.2 billion range. For investors, the focus now turns to execution as Carvana leverages its powerful e-commerce platform and fortified balance sheet to redefine the future of automotiveretail.

Will 2026 Mark a Turnaround for Costco?

Authored by Jordan Chussler. Originally Published: 12/3/2025. 

Key Takeaways

• Costco has dealt with numerous headwinds this year, including tariffs and souring consumer sentiment, resulting in a year-to-date gain of just 1.34%.
• Despite that, Costco has beat on earnings nine of the last 10 quarters. 
• The company could turn a corner in 2026, supported by strong fundamentals, bullish price targets from analysts, and negligible short interest.

2025 has been a mixed bag for consumer staples companies in the retail sector. While Target’s (NYSE: TGT) well-documented struggles have produced a year-to-date (YTD) loss of more than 34%, other retailers have fared much better. 

Walmart (NYSE: WMT), for example, has shown an ability to adapt to President Trump’s tariff policies and the resulting shifts in consumer behavior. 

If You Keep Cash In A U.S. Bank Account… Read This NOW (Ad)

The Treasury Department just issued a stunning warning: 

U.S. banks could lose up to $6.6 trillion of customer deposits as Americans rush into a new form of money… 

That’s just been authorized under President Trump’s highly controversial new law, S.1582.Go here for details, while you still have time to get ahead of it.

The company—a dividend king, the largest grocer in the United States, and an increasingly significant e-commerce competitor—has posted a YTD gain of nearly 25%. 

Membership-only warehouse club Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) sits somewhere in the middle with a modest 1.34% YTD gain.

Throughout 2025, Costco shareholders have weathered corrections of more than 17%, 12% and 8% at various points. 

With the calendar about to turn to 2026, current and prospective investors are hoping for a bounce-back year driven by Costco’s loyal members, solid underlying fundamentals and bullish forecasts from Wall Street analysts. 

Costco Has Adapted to Tariffs and Continued to Expand

On Monday, it was reported that Costco is suing the Trump administration and seeking a refund for import taxes the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington have deemed “illegal.” 

While the litigation may take months to resolve, it underscores the broader challenges the company has faced—and how it has navigated them.

A key response has been expanding Costco’s private-label brand, Kirkland Signature, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025. According to president and CEO Ron Vachris’s fiscal year (FY) 2025 Q4 earnings callcomments, “Kirkland Signature sales penetration continues to increase, bringing even more high-quality value to our members while offsetting potentially inflationary impacts from tariffs.”

That strategy appears to be working. Costco has broadened Kirkland Signature offerings to provide members high-quality alternatives to tariff-impacted goods. CFO Gary Millerchip said those products typically deliver 15% to 20% better value compared with national brands of comparable quality. 

In Q4 alone, Costco launched more than 30 new Kirkland Signature items, while ancillary businesses—including the company’s pharmacy, optical and hearing-aid operations—all posted strong quarters. Vachris also noted that Costco’s merchants adjusted plans to mitigate tariff impacts for the warehouse chain. 

Those moves helped the company stay on a steady growth path. In FY 2025, Costco opened 27 new warehouses, bringing the total to 914, and plans 35 additional locations in FY 2026 across domestic and international markets. 

The company has also increased its e-commerce presence: online sales topped $19.6 billion (a 15% year-over-year increase), while digitally enabled sales surpassed $27 billion for FY 2025. 

Costco’s Strong Fundamentals Have Remained Intact 

The warehouse club’s core business—selling memberships—maintains an impressively high renewal rate of about 90% in the United States and Canada. That helped Costco beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines when it reported FY 2025 Q4 earnings on Sept. 25—its ninth earnings beat in the last 10 quarters. 

However, the stock was punished after the earnings release, sliding more than 6% before finding a bottom on Nov. 24. Since then, COST is up more than 4%, and investors are looking ahead to FY 2026 with renewed interest.

Earnings are expected to grow about 9.21% next year, from $18.03 per share to $19.69. The company reported quarterly revenue rose 8.1% year over year to $86.16 billion; net income increased to $2.61 billion, up more than 11% YOY; and paid memberships reached 81 million, up 6.3% YOY. 

That performance reflects disciplined management and healthy financials. From 2022 to 2025, Costco’s net income grew at an annual average rate of 11.15%, while annualized earnings per share (EPS) growth averaged 11.53% over the same period. 

Perhaps most notably, the company’s net cash from operating activities rose more than 80% from 2022 to 2025, increasing from $7.39 billion to $13.33 billion. 

What Wall Street Thinks of Costco

Of the 32 analysts covering Costco, the consensus is a Moderate Buy: 19 assign a Buy rating, 13 assign a Hold, and none a Sell. 

Analysts’ average 12-month price target of $1,027.75 implies roughly 11.47% upside from current levels. While that may not signal explosive upside, it is complemented by a dividend yield of 0.56%, which equates to about $5.20 per share annually at current prices. 

Over the past year, institutional ownership(68.48%) has remained solid, with 3,106 buyers outnumbering 2,596 sellers. That has produced inflows of more than $51 billion versus outflows near $27 billion. 

At the same time, Wall Street’s skeptics are proceeding cautiously: short interest in Costco currently sits at just 1.63% of the float.
