Shares of Tesla (TSLA) are under pressure ahead of the company's first-quarter earnings results expected out next week, as it contends with a slew of mounting challenges. Tesla is seeking shareholder approval for a $56 billion pay package for CEO Elon Musk, which was initially struck down by a Delaware Chancery Court judge in January. The EV company is now looking to move its incorporation from Delaware to Texas for this controversial compensation plan. Compounding these issues, analysts at Barclays have taken a bearish stance on Tesla's stock, warning that the company's upcoming earnings results could drive the share price even lower. The investment bank has dropped its price target on Tesla shares to $180, down from the previous $225. Additionally, Tesla is reportedly planning to lay off around 10% of its global workforce.
