Strategy Review

1. Why Tesla may fall another 30%?

Without growth, is valuation still justified? Fuguo Bank believes Tesla is a "growth company without growth," with an overvalued valuation. It is expected that sales will remain flat this year and start to decline in 2025. The target price has been lowered to $120, indicating a further drop of around 30%.

2. Apple's rough start to the year, why is Wall Street still bullish?

Since the beginning of the year, Apple has fallen 10%, underperforming the market. However, Wall Street sees this as an opportunity to buy Apple stock, as the upcoming AI "catalyst" could trigger a rebound—when Apple incorporates generative AI into its iOS features, it could boost investor optimism!

3. "Quadruple Witching Day" is here on Friday! Market focus: Nvidia options!

Historically, during the "Quadruple Witching Day" week in the first quarter, there is a higher probability of a bullish trend in the US stock market. However, the week following the "Quadruple Witching Week" is often the opposite, with the S&P falling in 27 out of the past 41 years—and often by a significant margin. Could Nvidia options be the cause of trouble this time?
