Tesla Poised to Beat on Q2 Earnings: ETFs in Focus
Read MoreHide Full Article
Electric carmaker Tesla Motors (TSLA - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 26 after market close. Let’s take a closer look at its fundamentals ahead of the earnings release.
Tesla has been on a rough journey over the past three months, having lost 11%, more than double the industry’s decline of 2.7%. The trend might reverse if the luxury carmaker comes up with an earnings beat this quarter. The company has seen positive earnings revisions, which are generally a precursor to an earnings beat, ahead of its Q2 report.

Earnings Whispers
Tesla has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an Earnings ESP of +5.85%. According to our methodology, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
The electric carmaker saw positive earnings estimate revision of a penny over the past 30 days. Analysts increasing estimates right before earnings — with the most up-to-date information possible — is a good indicator for the stock. The earnings track is robust for the company, which delivered a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 147.4%. Additionally, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the second quarter indicates substantial year-over-year growth of 104.5% for earnings and 88.7% for revenues (see: all the Alternative Energy ETFs here).
Tesla has a top Growth Score of A and belongs to a top-ranked Zacks industry (in the top 17%). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the average target price is $660.9 with nearly 46% of the analysts giving a Strong Buy or a Buy rating ahead of the company’s earnings.
While Tesla is poised for robust growth, its valuation remains high. The stock has a P/E ratio of 152.64 versus the industry average of 15.14.
Strong Q2 Production
Earlier this month, Tesla reported record deliveries for second-quarter 2021. It delivered a record 201,250 (199,360 Model 3 and Y, and 1,890 Model S and X) vehicles. Deliveries were up 121%, the highest growth rate in two years, from the year-ago quarter and an acceleration from the 109% year-over-year growth reported in Q1. In fact, Tesla logged its best quarter of deliveries ever.
Including Q2 deliveries, Tesla has delivered a total of 386,050 cars so far in 2021. Tesla did not announce an official guidance for this year but stated in its Q1 Update Letter that it expects “to achieve 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries in the coming years.” The ramp-up of production at Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, which began delivering vehicles to customers in China in January last year, and its forthcoming facilities in Berlin and Texas are likely to help it in achieving this goal.
