Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39658170/tesla-could-be-on-the-verge-of-a-9-day-winning-streak-as-nvidia-apple-microsoft-and-other-mag-7-">stock rally accelerated</a> following the company&#8217;s second-quarter deliveries report and the steep ascent obliterated the short positions of some hedge funds, a report said on Sunday. 
Short Interest Spikes: The percent of hedge funds tracked by Hazeltree which shorted Tesla rose from under 15% at the end of March to 18% at the end of June, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-07/hedge-funds-that-piled-into-big-tesla-short-stung-by-huge-rally">said</a> Bloomberg in a report. This marked the highest percentage in over a year, the report said.
These contrarian bets may have saddled the funds with losses, the report said. In the two sessions following the deliveries report, Tesla shorts may have lost $3.5 billion on a mark-to-market basis, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/07/04/tesla-short-sellers-lost-3point5-billion-in-two-days-after-q2-deliveries.html">according </a>to S3 Partners&#8217; estimates, CNBC reported.

Analysts Positive Of Turnaround: Tesla&#8217;s profit margins are on track to see an improvement, thanks to lower production and raw material costs, Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein said, Bloomberg reported. While expressing confidence in the company returning to profit growth in 2025, the analyst reportedly said &#8220;How Tesla handles the market's intensifying focus on affordable EVs will be key.&#8221;
Hedge fund Ambient&#8217;s chief investment officer Fabio Pecce reportedly said that Tesla is &#8220;very difficult for us to position,&#8221; given investor dilemma regarding the company&#8217;s fundamentals and management&#8217;s effectiveness. That said, Blue Orca Capital founder Soren Aandahl said the valuations in the EV space are so beat up that he now avoided shorting the sector. &#8220;It's no longer an obvious contrarian bet, because those tend to do best if investors enter &#8216;when things are a little bit higher,'&#8221; he said.
But Eirik Hogner, deputy portfolio manager at hedge fund Clean Energy Transition, however, sees more downside. &#8220;Ultimately, I think you need to see more bankruptcies" before the market starts to look healthier,&#8221; he said. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39391166/fiskers-bankruptcy-leaves-investors-asking-hard-questions-about-ev-viability">Fisker and Arrival are among the EV startups that went bankrupt recently</a>, while some of the newbies are operating with a severe cash crunch.
Fund manager Gary Black, who co-founded Future Fund, reminded his followers of his comments from the previous week. &#8220;I said last week that those who short $TSLA should have their heads examined,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The fundamentals of the EV business are too strong and $TSLA is too well positioned to take advantage of the secular megatrends favoring EVs over ICE vehicles,&#8221; he added.
In premarket trading, the stock fell 1.66% to $247.35, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174"> Benzinga Pro data.</a> The stock has gained about 38% since it began the recent streak of eight sessions of gains. With Friday&#8217;s advance, the stock wiped away its year-to-date loss and is up 1.2% for the year.

As Tesla Rally Hurts Shorts, Fund Manager Says 'Fundamentals Of The EV Business Are Too Strong' And Elon Musk-Led Company 'Too Well Positioned'

Porsche AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POAHY#OTC">POAHY</a>) has decided to end the production of some of its internal combustion engine models earlier than planned, as the company accelerates its transition to electric vehicles.
This comes after Porsche&#8217;s parent company Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39493800/why-do-some-tesla-investors-so-despise-rivian-asks-bullish-gary-black-they-dont-appear-to-get-th">recently invested $5 billion</a> in Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>), a rival to Elon Musk&#8216;s Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), as part of its global expansion strategy in the electric vehicle market.
What Happened: The German automaker will discontinue the production of petrol-powered versions of its SUV model Macan for non-European markets by 2026, earlier than initially projected, reported Reuters. The company will then focus on electric versions of the Macan to further its sustainability agenda.
Production of the combustion engine versions of the Boxster and Cayman sports cars, known as the 718 model range, will cease next year. Porsche is already concentrating on the electric versions, which are set to be launched in 2024. The production of petrol-powered versions of the 718 and Macan for European markets has already been stopped.

Albrecht Reimold, a member of Porsche&#8217;s executive board, stated that the decision was driven by the end of the platform&#8217;s cycle. Despite a recent decline in electric vehicle demand, the company remains committed to its electric vehicle strategy.
Why It Matters: The automotive industry is experiencing a significant shift towards electric vehicles. A report by the International Energy Agency predicts that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38386240/automotive-industry-shifts-gears-electric-cars-to-dominate-roads-by-2030">nearly one-fifth of cars in the U.S. and the European Union</a> will be electric by 2030. This shift is expected to reshape the global auto industry and reduce oil consumption for road transport.
However, the transition to electric vehicles has not been without its challenges. The market&#8217;s slower-than-expected adoption of EVs has prompted major automakers to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37688367/electric-vehicle-market-slows-down-prompts-major-automakers-to-shift-strategy">rethink their strategies</a>. In response to the EV market&#8217;s slowdown, consumer preferences and OEM investments have shifted from electric vehicles to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39063832/as-ev-adoption-stalls-due-to-chicken-and-the-egg-situation-hybrids-race-ahead">hybrids as a bridge solution</a>.
Investor Gary Black has praised Volkswagen&#8217;s move to invest in Rivian, describing it as a strategic fit, highlighting Volkswagen&#8217;s capability to manage autonomous auto businesses across its distinct brands like Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36385255/how-to-turn-on-apples-stolen-device-protection-on-your-shiny-new-iphone">instructed its employees in China</a> to use Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhones for work, effectively banning Android-powered devices.
What Happened: Microsoft communicated to its China-based employees that they would only be permitted to use Apple devices for work purposes starting in September, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-08/microsoft-orders-china-staff-to-switch-from-android-phones-to-iphones-for-work">reported</a> Bloomberg, which cited an internal memo.
This decision is part of the Redmond-based software giant&#8217;s global Secure Future Initiative, aiming to ensure that all employees use the Microsoft Authenticator password manager and Identity Pass app.
The move underscores the fragmented nature of Android app stores in China and the growing disparities between Chinese and foreign mobile ecosystems. 
Google Play is not available in China, so local smartphone makers like Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi Corp. operate their platforms. Microsoft has decided to block access from these devices to its corporate resources due to the absence of Google&#8217;s mobile services in the country.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39656269/apples-ai-shift-board-observer-role-at-openai-extended-iphone-settlement-deadline-and-ai-partnership?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple&#8217;s AI Shift, Board Observer Role At OpenAI, Extended iPhone Settlement Deadline, And AI Partnership With Google</a>
Employees using Android devices, including those made by Huawei or Xiaomi, will be provided with an iPhone 15 as a one-time purchase. The company will make iPhones available for collection at various hubs across China, including Hong Kong, where Google&#8217;s services are accessible.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
Why It Matters: This move by Microsoft is significant in the context of the ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39473039/us-probing-chinese-telecom-giants-over-potential-data-threats-report">U.S. investigation into Chinese telecom giants</a> over potential data threats. The U.S. government is scrutinizing China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom for possible misuse of American data, a concern that has also been echoed in Microsoft&#8217;s decision.
This decision comes in the wake of Microsoft&#8217;s increased global security measures, following repeated attacks from state-sponsored hackers. In January, a Russia-linked breach affected dozens of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39573008/microsoft-hack-exposes-texas-agencies-to-russian-state-sponsored-attack-report">U.S. government agencies</a>, including the State Department.
Moreover, this development also highlights the complexities of the Chinese tech market, where companies like Apple have had to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38328967/apple-bows-to-chinas-security-concerns-pulls-2-meta-products-from-app-store">comply with the government&#8217;s security concerns</a> and remove certain apps from their app store. This move by Microsoft further underscores the challenges foreign tech companies face in navigating the Chinese market.

This story was first published on the <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/39658652/apple-may-resume-plans-to-manufacture-ipads-and-airpod-cases-in-india-report">Benzinga India portal.</a>
Apple (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)&nbsp;is reportedly reconsidering plans to manufacture&nbsp;iPads&nbsp;in India, driven by the government&rsquo;s initiative to attract more supply chains to the country. The tech giant is also said to be eyeing Pune for producing AirPod cases.
What Happened: Apple will likely resume its search for a manufacturing partner in India after its previous attempt to collaborate with China&rsquo;s&nbsp;BYD&nbsp;for iPad production in the country was stopped short by government restrictions, Moneycontrol said citing sources.
In addition to ramping up its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-place-to-sell-iphone/">iPhone</a> manufacturing capabilities, Apple is also making efforts to increase the production of components for AirPod wireless charging cases through&nbsp;Jabil&nbsp;in India. The company reportedly plans to start production of true wireless stereo (TWS) AirPods, in India from early next year.
Apple has initiated trial production of components for wireless charging cases in Pune with Jabil and is considering a similar arrangement with Taiwan&rsquo;s&nbsp;Foxconn. Following quality testing and approval, Jabil plans to scale up commercial production of these parts for AirPods&rsquo; wireless charging cases.

The Indian government is also said to be urging Apple to consider producing laptops and desktops in India in the future. The company has reportedly shared ambitious plans for the Indian market for the next two to three years, including establishing an alternate supply chain in the country.
Last year, Apple redirected its iPad product development efforts to Vietnam in collaboration with BYD, following challenges in securing approvals for establishing iPad manufacturing operations in India.
Apple is ramping up local production of its flagship <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-place-to-sell-iphone/">iPhone</a> models in India with Foxconn and&nbsp;Tata Electronics. The goal is to manufacture a significant portion, targeting a quarter of all iPhones in India within the next three to four years.
This development is expected to boost the local manufacturing ecosystem, create jobs and contribute to the Indian economy. It is likely to also position India as a key player in Apple&rsquo;s global supply chain strategy.
