Among the stocks hit hard yesterday were those of big automakers. GM ( GM ) and Ford ( F) were given double-downgrades by Wells Fargo auto analyst Colin Langan. The analyst went straight from buy ratings on the stocks to an outright sell, skipping a neutral rating. In his 77-page report, Langan said that the recent spike in raw material prices have “massively changed the economics of the transition to battery electric vehicles." Langan said he believes the spike in raw material prices like nickel has delayed the cost parity between EVs and gas-powered cars by “at least a decade.” He said supply chain pressures will also hurt the automakers’ planned transition to EV production. He noted that 2022 could be a year for “peak profits” for the legacy automakers. Langan also slashed his price targets.

GM shares closed down nearly 5% at $35.56, while shares of Ford closed down 3% at … [Read more...] about Automakers’ Double Downgrade

Macroeconomic uncertainty and valuation concerns are also among the factors weighing on a potential deal, they added. A representative for Carousell declined to comment, while a … [Read more...] about Carousell, L Catterton SPAC merger talks end amid rout
