Seven stocks in the S & P 500 tend to rise alongside Tesla shares, according to an analysis of recent data by CNBC Pro . The share price performances of these S & P 500 stocks were highly correlated to Tesla's last month. However, unlike Tesla's more than 30% plunge this year, these stocks have either remained flat or have relatively modest negative returns. A correlation of zero would indicate no statistical link between the EV automaker's stock and the share price of the seven companies. The consensus upside potential for the stocks listed above was derived from FactSet's poll of analysts covering each stock.

May 8 (Reuters) - Memory chip firm Western Digital Corp (WDC.O) forecast fourth-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates and a bigger current-quarter loss, signaling that memory chip demand will take longer to recover as cloud spending also shrinks. Seagate Technology Holdings (STX.O), which makes hard disks for storage like Western Digital, last month said it was seeing a "more elongated customer inventory correction" and that it expects demand recovery to begin only towards the end of 2023. While memory chipmakers have been cutting production to alleviate oversupply and prop up memory chip pricing, a weak global economic outlook has clouded the hopes for a quicker recovery. Western Digital expects fourth-quarter revenue between $2.40 billion and $2.60 billion. However, Western Digital reported third-quarter revenue of $2.80 billion, beating estimates of $2.70 billion.
