Why Tesla Stock Is Gaining Ground Today (Motley Fool)

Shares of Tesla (TSLA 6.35%) were spiking this morning after the electric vehicle (EV) maker reported strong second-quarter results.

But it was likely the company's earnings that got investors excited this morning. Investors were also likely happy with Tesla's vehicle deliveries, which increased 27% from the year-ago quarter, and the company's net income of $2.3 billion -- a huge increase of 98% year over year. While revenue was below Wall Street's expectations, the company's earnings far exceeded analysts' consensus estimate.

Tesla Stock Jumps On Q2 Earnings Beat, Delivery Target Outlook ... (TheStreet)

Tesla shares jumped higher Thursday after the carmaker topped Wall Street's second quarter earnings forecasts and reiterated its goal for full-year delivery ...

"But we've also had a lot of supply chain and production trucks and as we've got crazy inflation. We think a lot about scaling production and accelerating the advent of sustainable energy." "Cryptocurrency is a sideshow to the sideshow," he added. I do want to emphasize this is obviously subject to force majeure, things outside of our control." But in spite of all these challenges, it was one of the strongest quarters in our history," CEO Elon Musk told reporters on a conference call late Wednesday. "And as a result, we have the potential for a record-breaking second half of the year. Tesla said adjusted earnings for the three months ending in June rose 56.5% from last year to a Street-beating, $2.27 per share, although revenues were modestly light at $16.94 billion.

The average stock price target is $911.74, down from $948.63 at the end of June. “We don’t expect a major initial stock price reaction in either direction, though expect street EPS estimates to likely rise on the Q2 bottom-line beat.” “This was a very important headline for investors, as with Tesla now on a run-rate to produce 40k cars per week, the company heads into 2023 on a 2 million run-rate.” “We believe risk/reward at current levels is not attractive for longer-term investors.” Citi has a sell rating and $375 price target on Tesla. Analysts pointed to the production ramps as a positive.

Where next for Tesla stock as it eyes record-breaking H2? (FOREX.com)

Tesla withstood the pressure in an extremely tough second quarter but has vowed to swiftly recover and deliver record production in the second half of 2022.

The information and opinions in this report are for general information use only and are not intended as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any currency or CFD contract. Tesla said that its new site in Germany has managed to produce 1,000 cars in a single week since opening and delivered a positive gross margin in the second quarter. This report has been prepared without regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and needs of any particular recipient. Tesla ended the second quarter with $18.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and securities that can be sold off at short notice. Shares need to move above $775 to break through the current ceiling and can then bring the 100-day moving average at $828 into the crosshairs. Tesla bought $1.5 billion of bitcoin back in February 2021 and then sold off 10% of that two months later. The stock is up 1.7% in extended hours trade today at $755. The long-awaited Cybertruck, which has already faced several lengthy delays, should be introduced in the middle of 2023. Higher selling prices, an improved contribution from its non-automotive segments and lower stock-based compensation all contributed to the improvement in earnings from last year. However, that was down almost 10% from the first, bringing an end to consecutive quarters of record sales that it has consistently delivered over recent years. Tesla chief financial officer Zachary Kirkhorn said Tesla was still hoping to grow deliveries by 50% this year, suggesting they should top 1.4 million in 2022. Notably, profitability was squeezed dramatically in the second quarter.

Tesla Beat Supply Chain Challenges, What's Next? (Seeking Alpha)

Tesla (TSLA) is expected to maintain strong market share post Q2 results. Check out why we are maintaining our price target of $1100 on TSLA stock.

Yet, based on Tesla’s robust second quarter results and still-favourable 2H outlook despite looming economic challenges, the EV titan is expected to maintain strong market share and price gains in the near-term – it continues to sell every unit it makes, with demand outpacing supply by wide margins still. The European Federation for Transport and Environment predicts more than 300 available EV models within the European automotive market by 2025, while the IHS Markit predicts more than 130 available EV models in the U.S. by 2026, which is equivalent to the number of ICE options available in the market today. The key valuation assumptions applied in our analysis considers Tesla's persistent push into dominating global EV sales over coming years despite intensifying competition, as well as its unmatched manufacturing capabilities and continued leadership in connected-vehicle software development, which is set to be a core driver of sustained margin expansion through the longer-term to support its valuation premium against peers. While Musk has repeatedly stressed that “ supply constraints are the biggest brake on Tesla’s growth” over competition from legacy automakers and EV pureplay start-ups, the measures he has taken as a result are expected to pay off in the longer-term. Adjusting our most recent forecast for Tesla’s actual second quarter performance, as well as management’s reiterated guidance for 50% growth in the current year based on improving supply chain challenges and continued ramp-up across all production facilities, we are projecting total revenue of $94.2 billion by the end of the current year. Yet, an even more economical option is likely needed by mid-decade when global EV adoption is expected to accelerate rapidly in order for Tesla to stay competitive and relevant within the increasingly crowded landscape. While the trends may appear as favourable tailwinds for Tesla on the surface, a deeper dive would reveal that many prospective buyers are alluding to the increasing availability of different EV models for their preference. However, with EV input costs continuing to surge, and the burden being passed on to consumers through recurring sticker price hikes – as in the case of Tesla – the looming economic downturn poses risks of delayed or permanently lost vehicle sales in the near-term, which cannot be ignored. While Tesla’s robust demand environment continues to support pricing gains and market share gains in the fast-expanding EV industry, its hard-to-comprehend and hard-to-justify valuation requires continued perfect execution on growth promises that include best-in-class profit margins through economies of scale, as well as dominance in the market for next-generation mobility technologies like driverless Robotaxis over the longer-term. Global EV adoption has continued to defy the cyclical nature of the broader automotive sector, with strong take rates still, despite a global auto sales slump due to ongoing supply shortages. And this situation begs the question of whether Tesla will inevitably succumb to a similar fate as Netflix ( NFLX) – also an industry disruptor – which saw more than 70% of its market value vanish in the first half of the year following multiple consecutive quarters of deceleration and lost market share to competition. In addition to macro challenges outside of Tesla’s control, the EV pioneer, which has benefited from years of first mover advantage, is now also facing heightened long-term competition risks as both pure-plays and legacy automakers try to take a piece of the burgeoning market.

Tesla Stock Not A Buy Despite 42% Revenue Growth (Forbes)

Tesla lacks sufficient Bitcoin to fuel its factory cash burn. Meanwhile, mastering its supply chain problems and its inability to raise prices enough to ...

My concern is that if Tesla keeps raising its prices, the number of people who can afford to pay such high prices will diminish. So Tesla raised more by selling the bulk of its bitcoin holdings. Some $7 billion of that funding would come from “venture capital firms, tech moguls, cryptocurrency companies, sovereign wealth funds, property firms and mutual funds,” according to Forbes Advisor. 3.2% of Tesla’s sales are sold short. However, doing so will depend on Tesla’s ability to launch new vehicles — for example, it intends to start delivering its Cybertruck in mid-2023 — and improve its supply chains. Sadly for investors, those price increases were not enough to keep its automotive profit margins from falling. Musk said that the company had raised prices several times. As CEO Elon Musk said, “The processing of lithium is insane. I think investors were expecting Tesla to lower that guidance. Shortages of supplies and labor and logistical problems kept factories from running at full capacity. What’s more, Tesla has become a fast-growing profitable company — defying those who sold short its stock. Tesla revenues fell short of expectations while adjusted earnings exceeded them.

Tesla Stock: Here Are the Next Upside Targets After Earnings Beat (TheStreet)

Tesla stock is rallying on its earnings report, and the upside levels are now quite defined. Here's how to trade it from here.

Keep in mind what Tesla means to the overall market. Whatever the automaker’s stance on bitcoin, it hardly matters to the stock price — at least for today. Tesla also reduced most of its stake in bitcoin, which may be swaying sentiment in the crypto. Still and all, Chief Executive Elon Musk said the company planned to buy back its bitcoin stake. Coming into Wednesday evening’s print, Tesla had already rallied in six straight sessions. If the bears were in control, they would have defended the $760 to $770 zone.

Tesla stock gains as analysts applaud earnings results (Seeking Alpha)

Tesla (TSLA) shares gained sharply on Thursday as much of Wall Street took a more optimistic view of the noisy earnings report.

“We continue to believe that TSLA stock is predicated on a growth valuation framework, for which access to low-cost capital is a key input,” Murphy wrote. Finally, Bank of America analyst John Murphy also raised his price target on the stock after the earnings result came in above his expectations. “In a nutshell, the quarter was better than feared with healthy guidance for 2H by Musk & Co. that look achievable with no margin for error,” he concluded. “On the bright side, this should be a short-term problem. “The more cars that rattle through Tesla’s enormous gigafactories the lower the per-unit costs, so the disappointing delivery numbers released earlier this month meant investors had already braced themselves for a step down in profitability,” she wrote. Shares of the Austin-based automaker rose 5.91% after the market open, building on a rebound from late-May lows that left the stock nearly 50% below its January peak.

And in the current backdrop of "a fast-moving business cycle and global central bank tightening," investors should consider mid-cap stocks, say Wells Fargo Investment Institute strategists; specifically, those with "the potential to post stable, high-quality earnings." This overshadowed T's higher-than-expected adjusted earnings of 65 cents per share and revenue of $29.6 billion in the second quarter. Here, we've put together a list of the best mid-cap stocks to buy for these very qualities. And UAL recorded a slimmer-than-anticipated second-quarter loss of $1.43 per share, but revenue of $12.11 billion fell short of the cosensus estimate. - Data from the Labor Department showed jobless claims rose 7,000 on a weekly basis to 251,000 – the most since last November. Still, this did little to move markets today. Mid-cap stocks were another area of the market where investors found green ink today. He added that Tesla is "open to increasing" its Bitcoin holdings in the future, and that "this should not be taken as some verdict" on the cryptocurrency. The S&P 500 Index rose 1.0% to 3,998, while the Dow ended up 0.5% at 32,036. "The company was clearly profitable this quarter," says Wes Gottesman, market advisor at Web3 trading platform TradeZing. "However relative to other quarters, the automotive revenue was down to $14.6 billion, as compared to the previous quarter's $16.9 billion. The culprit clearly being the shutdowns in Shanghai, and cutbacks in production/deliveries. That was the issue for this quarter, at no fault of their own. TSLA did not sell any of its Dogecoin, according to Musk. The maker of electric vehicles reported second-quarter earnings that beat analysts' consensus estimate, though they fell short on revenue.
