It is null because it didn't load yet when you try to access it. You should be handling it asynchronously.

Handle the DocumentCompleted event and access the Document in the handler.

Replace the code you have with:

WebBrowser JOJO = new WebBrowser();

JOJO.DocumentCompleted += new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventHandler

                          (this.BrowserDocumentCompleted);

JOJO.Url = new Uri("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA?p=TSLA");

And here is the handler:

void BrowserDocumentCompleted(object sender,

    WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)

    {

        if (e.Url.AbsolutePath != (sender as WebBrowser).Url.AbsolutePath)

            return;



        string Tesla = "";

        var sal = (sender as WebBrowser).Document.GetElementsByTagName("div");

        foreach (HtmlElement link in sal)

        {

            if (link.GetAttribute("className") == "D(ib) Mend(20px)")

            {

                Tesla = link.FirstChild.InnerHtml;

            }

        }

        label1.Text = Tesla;

    }

Now you will maybe face other problems with redirections. But that is another discussion :)
