Tesla Inc. continues to be a focal point of debate among investors and analysts. On one hand, experts appreciate its impressive revenue growth and market presence as a leading electric vehicle manufacturer. However, many express concerns about its high valuation, trading at multiples that seem unsustainable given recent operational challenges and increased competition in the EV and robotics markets. Although there are optimistic views on the company's future, particularly regarding Tesla's venture into autonomous vehicles and robotics, others caution against over-reliance on Elon Musk's vision, suggesting it may lead to volatility and unpredictability in stock performance. The mixed sentiments result in a split perception of Tesla's future, oscillating between excitement for growth potential and skepticism about current valuations.
Very volatile. The story is shifting a bit from rapid EV growth to managing its scale. Q2 saw delivery fall 5% YOY, but still beat reduced expectations. Price cuts help, but continue to pressure profitability. Limited near-term upside. Value is 2/10. Compressed margins, rising Chinese competition. Political drama as well.
The fundamental business, EVs, is in decline, so expectations are -13% and -22% revenues and earnings. But the market will give Tesla the benefit of the doubt in robotics. She bought it recently at $293 and is now at $333. This will be rangebound from $260-350. Now, sell calls. This won't change until there are new revenue streams to monetize. You can make money selling calls.
Is not an investment, but a trade. Look at its volatility. At $350, write some calls. He targets $410. He constantly trims his holding. Is great to buy under $300, and sell above $350. It deserves it premium among car companies. Their future lies in robotics, not EVs. Musk plans to sell robots in 2026.
He's liked the company for ages for its EV's, self-driving cars and robots, which show promise, but he could never pull the trigger. However, last night, as the feud exploded, he changed is mind. Tesla and all its businesses changed the moment Musk broke with Trump. Musk got personal and incendiary towards Trump. Trump is vindictive. Musk should not have picked a fight with Trump, despite Musk spending $250 million getting Trump elected. Musk's various businesses dovetail with Washington. If anything goes wrong with Tesla's self-driving cars, he can see Trump banning them. Trump could ban robots, too. So, that leaves the EV's, and that alone makes Tesla over-valued. Tesla cars aren't selling well, and Washington will stop subsidizing them. Musk is a brilliant businessman, but a self-destructive political operator--he's become toxic, and Tesla stock has become too hard to own.
Trading at extremely high valuation. Cult stock. Can't really value it on today's earnings. Have to hope the battery technology takes off and that robotaxis becomes a huge thing. Lots of irons in the fire. If you believe the Musk-hype, this is a must-own.
For the rest of us, who can't cope with the valuation, very hard to buy. Sometimes the growth comes and it works out, and then you wonder why you didn't pay 800x PE ;)
Cult stock. Losing market share. People are paying up for what it's going to do with robotics in the future. He's not.
