Tesla shares traded close to flat in after-hours trading despite a 16% decline in net income and falling automotive sales. The company reported a 16% drop in total revenues to $22.5 billion in the second quarter, with automotive sales declining by 16% to $16.6 billion [1]. The company's gross profit also fell by 15% compared to last year. Elon Musk, the CEO, warned that the company could face "a few rough quarters" as the federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases is set to be eliminated in the fall.

Meanwhile, Alphabet reported a revenue jump driven by growth in its cloud division. The company's total revenue for the second quarter was $96.43 billion, surpassing analysts' expectations of $94 billion [2]. The company's cloud computing services saw a nearly 32% surge in sales, well above estimates for a 26.5% increase. Alphabet's capital spending plans for the year were raised to about $85 billion from $75 billion to meet the rising demand for cloud services.

Both companies are among the stocks to watch in after-hours trading. Tesla's future prospects are closely tied to its self-driving technology and robotics, which Musk sees as the next wave of profit and growth. However, widespread autonomous driving technology is not expected to be available for another 15 years, casting doubt on Tesla's plans [1]. Alphabet, on the other hand, is benefiting from the rise of artificial intelligence technologies, which are driving demand for cloud computing services.
