Tesla reported Q2 FY2026 earnings showing an 8% rise in automotive revenue but a sharp 14.7% stock drop due to investor concerns over its strategic shift from car manufacturing to becoming an AI-focused company. The company plans over $25 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, leading to negative free cash flow and compressed gross margins at 16.3%, pressured by price cuts and incentives. Investors are wary as Tesla's heavy AI investments may delay returns, risking further valuation declines in upcoming quarters.
