The S&P 500, a measure of how well 500 big companies are doing, bounced back from a bad day and went up about 0.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which shows how 30 major companies are doing, went up about 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite, which includes many tech companies, also went up 0.4%.

Tesla's report is really important because it can affect the whole stock market. People are curious to see how Tesla did because it's part of a big group of companies called the S&P 500.

Other companies also shared their earnings. One example is GM, a car company, which did really well in the first three months of the year. Its stock went up by almost 5%. Spotify, a music company, also made a profit, which made investors happy.

A survey by Edelman Smithfield showed that investors are feeling positive about new companies going public, especially from April to December 2024.

GM's good earnings report is different from Tesla's struggles. GM is doing well by saving money and selling more electric cars. Tesla is facing some challenges, like lower demand and changes in its plans.

PepsiCo, a big food and drink company, also shared its earnings. While it's good that PepsiCo is still making as much money as it expected, some people are worried because sales went down in some areas.

As companies keep sharing their earnings, investors are paying attention to see how they're doing and how it might affect the stock market.
