- Tesla (TSLA) shares fell on Friday after starting the week on the upswing. One of Wall Street’s most bearish Tesla analysts further reduced estimates for the company’s earnings, citing the magnitude of car-buyer backlash against Elon Musk. Tesla’s first-quarter vehicle deliveries were far below even JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst Ryan Brinkman’s pessimistic estimate, “confirming the unprecedented brand damage we had earlier feared,” he said in a report Friday. The EV maker also saw a key executive leave. David Lau, Tesla's vice president of software engineering, has told people at the company that he is stepping down, according to people familiar with the matter. Lau, one of the few executives to promote the automaker’s products alongside Elon Musk, has been at Tesla for almost 13 years and has held the vice president title since 2017. His team is responsible for the software in Tesla’s vehicles — overseeing infotainment and information security to over-the-air software updates — as well as cloud services and manufacturing systems.

The KBW Bank Index tallied a roughly 16% drop over Thursday and Friday, the gauge’s worst two-session plunge since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Shares of JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which traded ex-dividend on Friday, erased some $51 billion from its market capitalization.
