Tesla (TSLA) will be reporting its Q1 earnings on Wednesday after the closing bell, and Wall Street anticipates strong year-over-year revenue growth around 13%.
First quarter earnings for Tesla could be excellent according to estimates, but the company’s sales figures for the previous quarter were underwhelming. The company’s move to expand to robotics and AI products has opened the door for impressive growth, but so far that growth has been marginal. The company’s stock fell .90% on Tuesday.
Tesla is working on a household android called Optimus and is looking to expand its robotaxi service. They are also growing their AI services to be used in vehicles, robotics, and other products. That expansion has cost them dearly in capital expenditures, cutting into their quarterly profits, but placing them in an enviable position within the growing AI market.
Will Tesla’s New Ideas Save It?
We have been reporting on Tesla’s robotaxi service for several quarters now, and they just launched that service in Dallas and Houston. That launch came at a key time, just before the company is set to release their quarterly earnings.
The company has been consciously moving away from its focus on electric vehicles, rebranding as a robust, wide-ranging company with lots of services and products to offer. The company is fighting hard to keep its valuation as a high growth, Magnificent Seven stock that deserves plaudits.
The company missed their vehicle delivery estimates last quarter, falling short of the 365,645 units they expected to shift. The numbers show a shortfall of about 7,600 electric vehicles, and the company may struggle again to meet their sales targets.
While Tesla does not provide sales data for EVs, the closest way analysts can figure that number out is by looking at vehicles delivered. They were not able to meet their targets last quarter, and shareholders are right to wonder if they will come up short again this week as well.
Analysts say that Tesla will report earnings per share (EPS) of $0.30-$0.37. Their revenue may come in at about $21.9 billion, growing 13% from the previous year at this time. However, if that is what they earned for the quarter that would be a loss from the previous quarter. Shareholders will be paying attention to gross margins during Wednesday’s earnings report.
Tesla and other high growth tech companies are being carefully watched by investors who want to see excellent profits but are instead seeing tight margins. The pinch on profits is coming from the development side of the company, as their capital expenditures are very high in order to keep them on the cutting edge of the AI industry.
