Tesla shares were up around 6% in premarket trading on Monday as it was upgraded from a "hold" to a "buy" by analysts at Morgan Stanley.

BMW (BMW.DE)
German car maker BMW was hitting British headlines on Monday as it set out a plan to increase its investment in its UK operations.
BMW will lay out plans to invest hundreds of millions in a new Mini factory near Oxford as it gears up to produce the next generation of electric vehicles. Production of the Minis would begin at the plant in Cowley in 2026.

Vistry (VTY.L)
Vistry stock tore more than 16% higher on Monday morning in London as the housebuilder vowed to concentrate on its division that partners with local government and housing associations.
It also said it would return $1bn to its investors over the next three years via dividends or buybacks starting with a £55m buyback.
While this was good news for shareholders, it was worse news for workers, as the company said it would also cut jobs in its shift away from private projects.
