Tesla (TSLA) shares are sliding as investors become more concerned about late deliveries, production capacity, and increased competition. Morgan Stanley noted that the electric car maker is at a crossroads as it faces engineering challenges with the Model X.  The company is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results after the bell on Wednesday. According to FactSet, Tesla is expected to post an operating profit of $0.16 a share on revenue of $1.85 billion.

Chesapeake Energy

Chesapeake Energy (CHK), the second-largest natural gas producer in the United States, plunged at the opening bell following reports that the company has hired a restructuring law firm. The stock was halted three times in early trading. Chesapeake is scheduled to disclose fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 results on February 24th.

Kinross Gold

It’s a great day for Kinross Gold (KGC) investors. The stock is soaring after the company was upgraded to “outperform” from “market perform” by BMO Capital. BMO noted the gold-mining company trades at a discount to its peers and is planning to expand, which could be a positive move for the stock.
