Feels like a world of investment has been removed by reflectors Tesla (Nasdaq: Tsla) In 2024, investors were in love with artificial intelligence supplies (AI) Nvidia and Palantir. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk focused on other efforts – both business and political – in the last few quarters. In addition to the excitement around the electric vehicles (EVS) who threw themselves out and stopped growth in the industry, the Tesla shareholders (and perhaps the executive director) also lost their enthusiasm for the company.
Yet, while I am writing this today, Tesla shares have been 100%100%in the last 12 months. The EV manufacturer and the technological company have demolished the market and traded on a market cap of $ 1.3 trillion. He will need to report his earnings in the fourth quarter 29 January after the market closure. Do you need to buy shares before the earning report? Let’s look closer.
When analyzing Tesla’s stock, we first have to look at how many cars sell customers of each period. Historically speaking, the company increased volumes of units like Gangbuster, but in 2024 faced slowing down. Tesline 12 months of durable delivery have stopped several quarters. In fact, delivery 2024. They were lower than in 2023. This great slowdown certainly influenced by slowing down the profits on the EV category, especially in the United States.
The more, the fact is that Tesla implemented a large price reduction to throw out the products out of the door. During the last 12 months, which ended in Q3 of 2024 (we got Q4 this week), Tesla’s gross margin was 18%and the operating margin was only 8.5%. This number of operational margins is approximately half of the level that the company hit several years ago, which is a worrying development of the company.
Given the reduction of prices and slowing down delivery, we should not expect anything radically differently when Tesla reports its Q4 financial companies. The growth of revenue will be weak at best, and margins of profit will probably be much lower than where they were a few years ago.
EV job is not doing too well right now. Tesla investors like to remind you that the company has ambitions to be more than EV manufacturers. He works on solar technology, commercial battery cells, self -evaluating technology and what he calls Cybercab, as well as research by AI and humanoid robots.
All these innovations sound exciting. In fact, the company is quite fast growing with batteries (although it will not be significant for supplies worth $ 1.3 trillion). However, the product map should leave investors skeptical that it will be material for Tesla’s financial effect in the coming years. For the first time, Tesla has been promising self-giving cars for a long time, as well as the infamous robotax. They have not yet appeared. A humanoid robot called Optimus looks like a great idea, but it seems far from implementing. There were fantastic reporting that the demonstrations for Optimus exaggerated Tesla’s technology in the field of humanoid robot.
