On October 22nd, Tesla (TSLA) will be releasing its 3rd quarterly earnings statement, and the stock is already gaining and outperforming much of the market.
This has been a strained week for the stock market, with the indices climbing and falling from day to day, but Tesla stock has trended mostly bullish since October 10th. The company is set to release its earnings report next week.
Tesla Defies Stock Market with Strong Growth
Since Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has stepped away from his work at the Department of Government Efficiency and taken the reins of Tesla back over, the company’s stock has been climbing. Just looking back at the last few months, we can see significant growth for Tesla stock, moving from a price of $309 per share at the beginning of August to the October 17th value of $440.
During the current week that has been marked by an erratic stock market and overall stock decline, Tesla has been performing well. Investors are worried about the government shutdown and how it is affecting stock investments. They are also worried about sticky inflation, high unemployment, and extensive tariffs from China.
Tesla Stock May Be Overvalued
These concerns are likely to have an effect on Tesla’s stock when they release their earnings report next week. Because the stock is doing well right now but sales are not as high as they were last year, analysts are concerned that Tesla stock may be overvalued. The company is bucking the stock market trends at the moment, but that could be driven by overly optimistic investors.
If that is the case and Tesla is due to see a stock dip, then investors need to wait for their entry point for now. There could be a downturn for the company’s stock very soon as investors realize that the robotaxi service is not as successful as hoped and that electric car sales for the company are still sluggish. Some of the backlash against Tesla and Musk has died down now that Musk is stepping away from government, but the sales are simply not where they were the previous years for Tesla to be the market leader it used to be.
Tesla enjoyed strong sales numbers in September but has mostly had a disappointing year. The European market has been especially disappointing, with EV sales for Tesla in France down 47% in August and 83% in Sweden. Registration for new Tesla cars fell 50% in the Netherlands and just over 4% in Italy for August as well. Tesla has a lot of work to get back to its impressive sales numbers from 2024, and that is primarily why analysts are concerned about the currently high value of this stock.
