It’s no secret that TSLA shares are pricey, with the company’s 8.1X forward price-to-sales ratio representing a steep 198% premium relative to the S&P 500.
Still, the value is a fraction of 2021 highs of 23.9X, perhaps indicating that long-term investors could start getting interested.

Quarterly Estimates
Analysts have had mixed reactions to the quarter to be reported over the last several months, with five negative and five downwards earnings estimate revisions hitting the tape. Still, the Zacks Consensus EPS Estimate of $0.95 suggests a stellar 53% Y/Y uptick in earnings.

The company’s top-line is also in exceptional health; the Zacks Consensus Sales Estimate of $22.3 billion reflects a 62% Y/Y uptick in quarterly revenue.
