Stock Opinions by Bryn Talkington
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.
The street expects 11% and 16% revenue and earnings growth. Long-term, GOOG is the most vertically integrated to win. Think of Gmail, Google calendar, YouTube and Google search. Google has all our data and can make a powerful AI assistant. The key thing is how GOOG will monetize their AI (whereas Meta has made that clear).
Earnings decelerated the last couple of years and have no flattened, but will grow again, she expects by 7%. People are excited by this name for its robotics, AI and self-driving cars. It's not only a car company. She had sold in the $200s the January $400 strike price. Tesla has a beta of 2. Be cautious going into earnings on Jan. 23, because there's some hype in the $400s. More normal would be the $300s.
It reports after the closing bell. Owns a small position. A year ago, they were all-in with AI. They already had a proven track record with government. She expects 38% and 53% revenue and earnings growth this quarter. The chart looks exponential, but it will march higher tomorrow. PLTR is one of the few companies implementing AI, a rare pure-play.
