  • China Evergrande's ex-CEO sells Hong Kong home at almost half of purchase price

    China Evergrande's former CEO, who Chinese regulators recently said was "uncontactable", has sold his home in Hong Kong at a loss of HK$74 million ($9.48 million) from the purchase price, according to a property agent. Xia Haijun last month sold a 2,834 net sq ft (263 sq m) five-bedroom duplex flat in North Point Mid-Levels district on Hong Kong island for HK$82 million, said Gary Lam, a senior sales director at real estate agency Centaline. Xia, who stepped down from the embattled Chinese developer in 2022 after an internal probe found he was involved in diverting loans worth $2 billion secured by unit Evergrande Property Services to the group, bought the flat from New World Development in 2019, according to records from the Land Registry.

  • Tesla is biggest market bubble in world history: Short seller

    Tesla's (TSLA) stock momentum seems to have stalled Friday morning after shareholders voted to approve CEO Elon Musk's pay packages — valued at nearly $46 billion — at the company's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday. Many analysts and Wall Street experts have shared new, incredibly bullish forecasts for the EV company, including Wedbush's Dan Ives — whose latest call sees Tesla's market cap reaching over $1 trillion in 2025 — and Ark Invest (ARKK) Founder, CEO, and CIO Cathie Wood, who believes the stock could reach $2,600 by 2029. However, not everyone shares this enthusiasm around Tesla and Elon Musk. Clean Energy Transition CEO and Portfolio Manager Per Lekander — a long-time Tesla short-seller — joins The Morning Brief to explain his $15 price target, likening Tesla to "the next Enron." "Let's not forget, that the stock is down 60% from all-time high at the same time as the market has gone up, 20, 25% in the meantime," Lekander says, citing Tesla's earnings and its year-to-date stock losses. "So the stock needs to go down. Once it goes down, it's going to go down more. And I think what drives it down is earnings. And I think we are very, very close to the turning point because so far it's been a slippery slope. They've sold cars poorly therefore they lowered the price, therefore earnings went down..." Lekander characterizes Musk as "missing... what's going on in the overall EV space" coming out of COVID-19 pandemic trends.
