Coming into today, shares of the electric car maker had gained 2.13% in the past month. In that same time, the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector lost 1.52%, while the S&P 500 lost 4.45%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from Tesla as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect Tesla to post earnings of $0.77 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 26.67%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $25.08 billion, up 16.88% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $3.44 per share and revenue of $100.13 billion, which would represent changes of -15.48% and +22.91%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Tesla. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.
