Tesla Q2 Earnings Today: What to Expect?
Silicon Valley-based electric vehicle manufacturer and giant killer, Tesla, reports eagerly anticipated Q2 earnings today.
Story So Far: Tesla’s share price has been on an exceptional bull run this year, making it the most valuable automaker in the world. As such, there’s a lot of hype around the Q2 earnings report that’s due after the close of trading on Wednesday.
Wall Street expects Tesla to lose 14 cents a share on $5.1 billion in sales. Earnings forecast for the Covid-affected Q2, when auto production was shut across the US, dropped below $2 a share. However, the recovery was swift, and the company delivered more vehicles than in the profitable first quarter, thus boosting the estimates for Q2 sales estimates.
Tesla has also had three consecutive profitable quarters and if it posts a profit in the hotly anticipated earnings report, it will earn a place in the S&P 500 index. If this happens, there would be a huge demand for Tesla stocks from funds tracking the S&P 500 as they rebalance their portfolios to adjust for the change. More buying than selling can thus drive up the price.
As an aside, China can become a catalyst for Tesla’s growth story in the second half of the year and 2021 given the growing demand there for EVs.
Market Reaction: JMP Securities analyst has downgraded the stock to Hold. Credit Suisse analyst also rates the stock to Hold and has a $1400 price target. CFRA analyst lowered their rating from Hold to Sell while maintaining a $1,100 price target. Kallo rates share Hold and have a $984 price target.
Tesla dropped 4.54% on Tuesday after an exceptional bull run to close at $1,568.36.
