TESLA EARNINGS DUE AFTER MARKET CLOSE TODAY

Tesla will report Q2 earnings after the US market close today and is hoping to put an end to selling pressure that has dominated most of 2022. The car maker mentioned earlier this year that it will need to trim its salary bill and floated the idea that it could reduce its prices due to surging inflation – a move that if implemented could squeezing profit margins.

However, analysts appear optimistic on the stock 25 buy readings, 10 sells and 9 holds.
