TSLA Earnings: Tesla Falls on Q2 EPS Miss

Shares of EV maker Tesla (TSLA) fell in after-hours trading after the company reported earnings for its second quarter of Fiscal Year 2024. Earnings per share came in at $0.52, which missed analysts’ consensus estimate of $0.61 per share.

However, sales increased by 2.3% year-over-year, with revenue hitting $25.5 billion. This beat analysts’ expectations of $24.74 billion. The bump in sales can be attributed to an increase in Cybertruck deliveries, higher regulatory credits revenue, growth in the Energy/Storage business, and growth in Services. This was despite a reduction in the deliveries and average selling prices for its “S3XY” models.

Furthermore, free cash flow gained year-over-year, coming in at $1.3 billion compared to $1 billion in Q2 2023.

Investor Sentiment for TSLA Stock Is Currently Negative

In addition, the average portfolio weighting allocated towards TSLA among those who do have a position is 13.96%. This suggests that investors of the company are very confident about its future.

However, in the last 30 days, 0.7% of those holding the stock decreased their positions. As a result, the stock’s sentiment is below the sector average, as demonstrated in the following image:
