Tesla Delivers Record Q4 But Misses View: ETFs in Focus
Read MoreHide Full Article
Tesla Motors (TSLA - Free Report) reported record deliveries for the fourth quarter but fell short of the analysts’ estimates due to logistics problems, slowing demand, rising interest rates and fears of recession. The miss has only added to the company’s pains of share price slide, surging inflation and an economic slowdown in China.
This has put the ETFs having a substantial allocation to this luxury carmaker like MeetKevin Pricing Power ETF (PP - Free Report) , Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF (VCR - Free Report) , Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY - Free Report) , Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF (FDIS - Free Report) , Simplify Volt Robocar Disruption and Tech ETF (VCAR - Free Report) and MicroSectors FANG+ ETN (FNGS - Free Report) in focus for this week.
The company delivered 405,278 (388,131 Model 3 and Y, and 17,147 Model S and X) cars worldwide in the fourth quarter. This is up 31.5% from the year-ago quarter and 18.1% from the prior quarter. The electric carmaker produced 439,701 (419,088 Model 3 and Y, and 20,613 Model S and X) vehicles during the quarter.
The fourth quarter was extremely challenging for Tesla. This is especially true as COVID outbreaks in China caused the company to temporarily suspend and reduce production at its Shanghai factory. Additionally, the electric carmaker offered steep price cuts and other promotions in the United States, China and elsewhere in order to spur demand that has put pressure on its margins (read: Tesla Revenues Miss in Q3 Earnings Put These ETFs in Focus).
For 2022, the electric carmaker delivered a record 1.31 million electric vehicles, up 40% from 2021. It has ramped up production after opening new factories in Texas, Shanghai and Berlin.
Tesla's stock tumbled 65% in 2022, its worst year since going public in 2010 and wiping out more than $700 billion in market cap. There are growing fears that demand issues stemming from an uncertain economy would dent the company's target to grow deliveries by 50% annually.
Tesla currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and belongs to a bottom-ranked Zacks industry (in the bottom 30%). However, the stock boasts a top Growth and Momentum Score of A each.
