In an interview with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi and Autos Reporter Pras Subramanian, CEO Mary Barra explains GM has had EVs in its sights for a long time. "We do think that there is a potential for EV demand to go down without the consumer tax credit or some of the other aspects of IRA [Inflation Reduction Act]. But remember we started on our EV journey before we even knew IRA was going to be legislated. So we're going to continue on our journey to continue to take cost down, provide great electric vehicles, as well as great ICE vehicles, but great electric vehicles that customers want to have."

Starbucks is in 'early innings' of turnaround story Starbucks (SBUX) exceeded first quarter revenue expectations, reporting $9.40 billion against analysts' estimates of $9.31 billion. BTIG managing director and restaurant analyst Peter Saleh joins Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination Overtime to discuss the company's results and growth trajectory. "Starbucks is a top pick for us this year. We think you're going to start to see some of these results in the back half of fiscal '25," Saleh says. With new CEO Brian Niccol having taken the helm only in September 2024, Saleh acknowledges that change will be "slow," describing it as the "very early innings of this turnaround story." Since Niccol's arrival, Starbucks has prioritized throughput and faster service. Additionally, Saleh highlights the company's unprecedented move into television advertising during sporting events — a strategy he expects to be a "sales driver" in the latter half of 2025. While Saleh acknowledges that fundamentals need improvement, he suggests investors are more focused on other aspects of the company. "We want to hear about what the progress is" regarding efficiency, pricing, and future advertising strategy plans, Saleh explains.

Buying a car 101: 5 tips for potential buyers Kelley Blue Book executive editor Brian Moody joins Wealth with Brad Smith to discuss his five tips for potential car buyers. Moody's first tip is to know your credit score. He notes it's "no problem if you don't have excellent credit, but you want to know that before you go into the process, not in the middle because it will affect your payment if you're borrowing money to buy a car." Second, he recommends getting pre-approved for a loan, explaining, "You're not borrowing the money yet. You still will allow for the dealership to beat that rate and oftentimes they can, but if they can't, then you have that in your back pocket." The third tip is that buyers "should know approximately what interest rate you qualify for, [which is] tied to your credit score, and the bank can help you with that." Watch the video above to hear all five of Kelley Blue Book executive editor Brian Moody's tips for prospective car buyers.

GM CEO Mary Barra: I've talked to President Trump about tariffs GM CEO Mary Barra says the new president is well aware of the consequences of tariffs. Why this bear says Tesla earnings will disappoint Wall Street Tesla (TSLA) is set to report fourth quarter results on Wednesday, the first report since President Donald Trump returned to the White House with Tesla CEO Elon Musk by his side. Guggenheim Securities automotive equity research director Ron Jewsikow joins Market Domination with Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to outline his bearish outlook for the electric vehicle (EV) pioneer's earnings results. Jewsikow says he expects Tesla to fall short of Wall Street expectations on auto gross margins, excluding regulatory credits: "Tesla was quite promotional in the fourth quarter to try and hit their volume growth targets for the year, and as a result, the revenue per vehicle essentially is going to be quite a bit weaker than the Street is forecasting." Despite the jump in Tesla's stock price driven by Trump's 2024 election win, the analyst, who holds a Sell rating on Tesla, says the company likely still faces regulatory hurdles: "We would push back that the vast majority of the bottlenecks on Tesla's kind of pathway to robotaxis and self-driving vehicles is going to come in the form of state and local regulators that have the ability really to control what goes on the road in their jurisdictions, as well as just technological progress." Watch the video above to learn more about Jewsikow's expectations of Tesla's energy storage business and Musk's proposed role in the Trump administration.

[…] Starbucks' Niccol aims to tame the chain's mobile order floods Starbucks' new CEO, Brian Niccol, has a vision to make Starbucks into a classic coffeehouse, but he has to contend with an unusual challenge: the company's mobile orders are as disruptive as they are popular.
