Electric vehicle stocks were gaining on Monday ahead of the highly-anticipated earnings call from Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) on Wednesday. It certainly helped that a pair of analysts provided some bullish insight on the stock ahead of earnings. Barclays raised its surprisingly low price target on Tesla from $370 to $380 per share. Deutsche Bank was a bit more positive on the stock as an analyst added Tesla to its short-term Catalyst Call Buy List after forecasting that Tesla will top Wall Street expectations for the quarter.

NIO stock forecast

Chinese EV giant BYD officially surpassed German automaker Volkswagen in the second quarter as the strongest OEMs in the EV sector. Of course, BYD still trails Tesla in terms of global dominance, but BYD is rapidly gaining on the industry leader. The news comes amidst a time of uncertainty for BYD’s stock as investors wait for a sell order that mirrors the position of top stakeholder Warren Buffett to pass through the clearing system.
