Tesla (TSLA) is one stock that remains in the spotlight every week. After missing on second-quarter earnings, Tesla is now reportedly considering selling or spinning off its China business to clear a potential path toward a merger with **** eX (SPCX), according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. CEO Elon Musk has dismissed the report as "absurdly fake news." Still, the speculation raises an important question for Tesla investors: What would happen to TSLA stock if the company actually separated its China operations?
The idea is tied to national security concerns surrounding **** eX's U.S. government and defense contracts. Separating Tesla's China business could theoretically make a combination easier from a regulatory standpoint. Reuters also notes that Tesla's China operations could be difficult to separate given the importance of the company's Shanghai factory to global production.
