Tesla Earnings Today: What to Expect as Investors Eye Profit Margins Over Deliveries
Article Summary
BUY- Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) reports second-quarter earnings after U.S. markets close, with Wall Street expecting a sharp jump in earnings per share from last quarter, though most of the good news already came out weeks ago.
- Tesla already told investors it delivered 480,126 vehicles in the second quarter, up 25% from a year earlier and well above the roughly 406,000 vehicles analysts expected, while energy storage deployments rose more than 40% from last year.
- The number investors will watch closest is Tesla's automotive profit margin excluding regulatory credits, with estimates pointing to a possible dip to around 18.1%, down from 19.2% in the first quarter.
- Tesla's stronger automotive performance should improve near-term earnings and help finance its artificial intelligence investments, but Robotaxi, Full Self-Driving and Optimus remain the main drivers of the stock's valuation, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley and Barclays.
