Alphabet, Tesla, and Boeing Set to Release Q1 2025 Earnings: Market Expectations and Key Metrics to Watch

Investors are closely monitoring upcoming earnings reports from Alphabet (GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA), and Boeing (BA) this week, with analysts projecting mixed results across the tech and aerospace sectors. Alphabet’s cloud revenue growth, Tesla’s delivery numbers amid softening EV demand, and Boeing’s commercial aircraft recovery progress will be critical focus areas for market participants.

In Brief

• Tesla sees its sales drop, affected by US trade policy.
• Alphabet remains resilient, but pressure on its advertising revenues intensifies.
• Markets fear a recession if tariffs persist.
• Volatility affects all sectors, especially tech and exporters.

Tesla under Pressure: Tariffs as a Sword of Damocles

Tesla finds itself inamid intensifying trade tensions. The tariff pause might seem like a short-term breath of fresh air, buton Chinese imports remains incalculable. After years of rapid ascent, the brand is now facingin several of its key markets.

Tesla is in a unique position: its opportunity in physical AI is so compelling that investors are willing to look past what will likely be a difficult year. In my view, 2025 doesn’t matter; the company is set to see significant improvement starting next year.

While Elon Musk’s company has always stood out for its innovation, the current economic challenges are weakening this trajectory. With, Tesla’s future, once seen as bright, seems increasingly uncertain. A wave of skepticism is blowing over the company, and hopes for a quick recovery seem more and more difficult to envision.

Alphabet: From Resilience to Necessary Adaptation

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is in a stronger position but is not immune to the impact of tariff policies. Itshelps cushion the blows, but the shadow of trade restrictions also weighs on its forecasts.

“Alphabet could feel the indirect effects of trade tensions, notably a decline in advertising spending“, a Morgan Stanley analyst points out.

Certainly, Alphabet benefits from solid resilience, but itsand advertising spending makes it vulnerable to any geopolitical instability.

With profit margins already under pressure, the company must navigate cautiously in a context where tariff policy uncertainty risks hampering its performance, like its competitors. Indeed, while the company appears, the question remains: how long will this resilience hold against the increasingly protective policies of the Trump administration?

Trump’s Tariffs: Another Storm on Already Turbulent Markets

Recent stock market volatility is directly linked to the uncertainties caused by Trump’s tariff decisions. Last week, the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones all recorded declines of 1.5% to 2.6%.

“What is happening right now is this ongoing level of uncertainty in the markets“, observes Sylvia Jablonski, CEO of Defiance ETFs.

Investors find themselves hanging on the developments of American trade policies, and fears of tariff extensions fuel a negative spiral. Stuart Kaiser from Citi summarizes:

We need good news on the tariff front, especially with our key trading partners.

. If good news comes from this front, the markets could rebound; but without reassuring news, the economic climate could deteriorate, increasing the chances of a recession. Companies, particularly those in tech, which depend on global supply chains like Tesla and Alphabet, are exposed to significant instability.

Tariffs imposed by Trump continue to induce major market instability. Many analysts believe these policies could cause significant damage to large tech companies like Tesla, whose viability could be compromised in the short term. Tesla shares, in particular, suffer from a worrying decline, and the company’s dependence on Chinese components only worsens the situation. The outlook remains uncertain, and the coming month will be crucial in assessing the market’s direction.
