Analysts expect earnings per share of $0.44 and revenue of $21.87 billion, down from last quarter’s $0.73 EPS and $25.71 billion. Poor delivery numbers suggest a challenging report, which could further impact the stock.Sentiment on X posts on X reflect mixed sentiment. Some users highlight Tesla’s long-term potential in AI and autonomy, arguing that weak deliveries are temporary due to production line refreshes. Others point to declining sales (e.g., 47% drop in European sales) and brand crises as significant risks.Investment ConsiderationsTesla’s stock remains highly volatile, trading at a premium (194% above Morningstar’s fair value estimate of $246). While its innovation in EVs, AI, and energy storage offers long-term potential, near-term risks include tariff-related costs, brand erosion, and weak demand. Investors may want to wait for the April 22 earnings call for clarity on financial health and Musk’s strategic outlook before making decisions.If you’re considering investing, Tesla’s high valuation (forward P/E of 103.15) and current challenges suggest caution.
