Spotlight on the electric vehicle sector:
The rough ride for electric vehicle stocks in 2022 has not showed any signs of easing, even with a few bright Q1 earnings report turned in over the last two weeks. The spotlight could move back to the long-term potential of electrification with the FT Future of the Car Summit next week featuring Mercedes-Benz (OTCPK:DDAIF) Ola Källenius, Waymo (GOOG) Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana, Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, as well as appearances by the chiefs of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID), Aurora Innovation (AUR), and Polestar (GGPI). TuSimple (NASDAQ:TSP) also has an Investor Day event scheduled for next week in Tucson, Arizona to talk up ita autonomous vehicle technology, as well as update on near-term milestones and the path to commercialization.
The EV events will take place with share prices across the sector in reverse with names like Arrival (ARVL) -73% YTD, Cenntro Electric (CENN) -68%, Sono Group (SEV) -59%, Nio (NIO) -51%, Lordstown Motors (RIDE) -40%, Fisker (FSR) -37%, and Nikola (NKLA) -34% deep in the red. EV juggernaut Tesla trades about 30% below its all-time high.
Conference schedule:
The conference schedule is headlined by the Bank of America Global Healthcare Conference 2022including appearance by Recursion Pharmaceuticals (RXRX), Esperion Therapeutics (ESPR), Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation (NASDAQ:ADPT), Inari Medical (NARI), and Basic Energy Services (OTC:BASX) to name just a few.
Other conferences of note include the Goldman Sachs Industrials and Materials Conference, Oppenheimer’s 7th Annual Emerging Growth Conference, Citi’s 2022 Global Energy, Utilities, and Climate Technology Conference, the Sidoti Virtual Micro Cap Conference, and the Goldman Sachs Seventh Annual Leveraged Finance and Credit Conference.
Western Digital Corp. (WDC) will host its 2022 Investor Day on May 9 during which execs plan to discuss the company’s long-term strategy.
On May 10, Dish Network Corporation (NASDAQ:DISH) will hold an analyst day event and Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS) is set to hold a R&D Symposium.

Barron’s mentions:
The publication convened a transportation roundtable to explore the outlook for automakers and the technologies shaping the industry’s future.
Tesla (TSLA), Uber Technologies (UBER), and Grab Holdings (GRAB) are the top electrification picks of New Street Research’s Pierre Ferragu, while Gamco Investors’ A. Carolina Jolly says underappreciated plays on the logistics of housing and servicing vehicles are Genuine Parts (GPC), O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY), Monro (NASDAQ:MNRO), Universal Technical Institute (UTI), Copart (CPRT), and Snap-on (SNAP). Those stocks are also considered beneficiaries of the push toward autonomous technology.
General Motors (GM) was not totally ignored in all the focus on the automobile industry. GM is called a cheap stock that is not getting credit for the strength of its core automotive business and is seen as well positioned in electric vehicles and autonomous vehicle technology.
The earnings calendar features
3D Systems (NYSE:DDD), Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN), and Disney (DIS) into the earnings confessional. In the electric vehicle sector, a major auto summit will include a talk by Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) will roll past the IPO lockup period for early investors.

Concerns about energy prices resonate
As energy prices stay higher longer, investors will see a good place to deploy capital
Bad news is weighing on supply chains and inflation
The Fed will change its approach if data comes in differently
We have a strong job market
Maybe there’s some evidence of inflation softening just a hair
There’s a lot of room for home prices to slow down without falling
We could see some softer wage growth to try to get to a more-sustainable environment
By the measure of 30-year yields, we’ve removed accommodation faster than we added it in 2020

All 11 sectors are lower, so today’s “strength” is being measured in relative terms, which is to say the “strong sectors” are the ones that are down the least. Currently, that is the consumer staples (-0.4%) and utilities (-1.0%) sectors.
The energy sector (-4.4%), which soared 10.2% last week when the S&P 500 declined 0.2%, is the biggest laggard today, following oil ($107.02, -2.75, -2.5%) and natural gas ($7.68, -0.43, -5.4%) prices lower. A Bloomberg report indicated that Saudi Arabia had cut prices for Asian buyers due to weakening demand related to lockdowns in China to curb the spread of COVID.
The biggest drag of all today, however, is the mega-cap stocks. They continue to bleed on de-risking efforts from concentrated positions. Apple (AAPL 153.64, -3.64, -2.3%), Microsoft (MSFT 266.24, -8.49, -3.1%), Alphabet (GOOG 2277.48, -35.72, -1.5%), Tesla (TSLA 818.08, -47.57, -5.5%), and NVIDIA (NVDA 176.51, -10.24, -5.5%) are all taking another turn lower.
The Vanguard Mega-Cap Growth ETF (MGK) is down 2.9% while the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) is down 1.9%, demonstrating that there is plenty of weakness to be found. The Advance-Decline line also denotes as much. Decliners lead advancers by a 5-to-1 margin at both the NYSE and Nasdaq.
