Tesla earnings preview: will shares disappoint as costs and supply chains bite?


Recommended Posts

After it surprised on the upside earlier this month on a near 70% rise in year-on-year quarterly deliveries, could Tesla (TSLA) find it only has bad news to publish this time around?

Tesla Q1 earnings preview: what to expect

It will be the turn of Tesla to report earnings on Wednesday 20 April 2022.

That comes after the closing bell on Wall Street and the stock trades all-sessions on the IG platform, so that will provide an opportunity to trade the share price as it publishes its numbers and as the company delivers anecdotal commentary throughout the evening.

So far as the numbers are concerned, analysts are looking for earnings per share (EPS) of a consensus $2.24 on revenues of $17.63 billion. It's certainly expected that this will be another profitable quarter for the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer.

It is worth remembering, though, that Tesla doesn't produce revenue numbers, rather it focuses on quarterly deliveries. At the beginning of the month, it told investors that it delivered a record number of its cars in the first quarter - 310 000 to be precise - despite supply chain challenges. That was almost 70% higher than the same period last year.

However, those supply chain issues, now also compounded by enforced Covid lockdowns in China, could see a rather more cautious statement. Additionally, rising input costs could send in another unwanted headwind, a reason why Tesla is considering buying its own lithium mine so it can rely on its own dedicated supply chain of the battery metal. So, all that to watch out for as Tesla details its numbers.

Tesla share price

Let's take a look at the share price. It is worth looking at this in the context of the fact that it's an all-session stock so you can trade this when it produces the data.

As we see things at the moment, it's trading just around about the point at which the company goes into this $1 trillion level of total market worth. It coincides with that 100 000 that you've got on that line there which is $1,000 per share.

Now, the company has applied for a stock split so that number will come down at some point in the future, in the next couple of months or so.

Finally, another potential talking point could be about CEO, Elon Musk's move on Twitter. Will the Tesla chief give any more detail on his possible bid for the social media giant?

I think so far as the shares are concerned, it's certainly well worth watching out for commentary around the difficulties the company is having in terms of its supply chain, the rise in input costs, but also whether or not there is going to be an opportunity, it could well be seen as an opportunity, for Tesla to continue to benefit from Musk's involvement in Twitter.

    • Overnight in Asia, stock markets experienced a mixed trading session. The rebound in Chinese industrial profits provided some relief, but this was partially offset by a subdued handover from Wall Street. Australian CPI was also stronger than expected, dampening sentiment on fears that the RBA may have to raise rates again. Moving on to Europe, equity futures indicate a quiet open. In the US, the Senate voted to clear a procedural hurdle for the bipartisan bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has indicated that a stopgap funding bill will be brought to the House floor on Friday. US durable goods orders are the main event of the session.   
    • I have seen several people leaving their daily jobs to enter into cryptocurrency because they think it's a place where fast money can be made lol. Some people have done it and Excel but that doesn't mean what works for Mr A will work for Mr B. @cryptorovers is an example of a successful crypto enthusiasts who left his McDonald's job in 2016 to become a full time crypto investor but several people have also tried that and got lost.  Getting into new business or opportunity can be dilusional atimes, I could remember when I got into crypto few years back, my popular slang was WAGMI meaning we are all gonna make it together but is that actually true? Of course it isn't. Becoming a crypto Millionare requires a lot. Take for instance, Ben Amstrong popular called Bit boy crypto, aside the fact that he's an early investor in Bitcoin, he has a YouTube channel with over 1.5 Million subscribers and over 1M followers on Twitter where he shares crypto news update, market trends, technical analysis and other new innovations in the world of crypto and blockchain technology across his SNS which has earned him recognition and influence. It is true that when you create influence, money will flow in, no wonder he's now worth around $8M. Embracing cryptocurrency is not a sure way to financial stability. As a matter of fact, it could lead to severe financial loss if one do not do his own research well. To succeed in this space, one must be knowledgeable enough. It's a common parable that people wants to follow who knows the way. Know when opportunities knocks at the door, be patient, remember it took Bitboy almost a decade to hit a million dollar from his BTC holdings.  . Are there other ways you think one could explore or apply to succeed or be financially stable in the crypto space? please feel free to share.
