Nasdaq TSLA Tesla

Nio (NYSE: NIO) has taken investors on a wild ride since its public debut. The Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker went public at $6.28 per American depositary share (ADS) on Sept. 12, 2018, and its shares rallied to an all-time high of $62.84 on Feb. 9, 2021. At its peak, Nio's

U.S. stock index futures were subdued on Tuesday, with investors now awaiting a peak in the earnings season and economic data in a major test for Wall Street's sustenance of a recent rally that saw the S&P 500 scale record highs and enter a bull market.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are approaching an industry crossroads. Battery range is arguably the biggest obstacle to EV adoption today, and traditional lithium-ion batteries are potentially topping out.

Tesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) will release its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2023 after the market closes on Wednesday, January 24. While higher deliveries will support its top-line growth, the  electric vehicle (EV) giant’s bottom line could remain under pressure due to the lower average selling prices compared to the prior year.  It’s worth noting that Tesla is  reducing prices to help support deliveries amid a challenging operating environment. The excitement surrounding the EV market has waned due to macroeconomic challenges. Additionally, the EV sector is experiencing heightened competition, which is pressurizing margins.  Against this background, let’s look at the Street’s expectations for TSLA's Q4.  Tesla – Q4 Expectations Wall Street expects Tesla to report revenue of $25.63 billion in Q4, representing a  year-over-year growth of 5.4%. Higher automotive sales revenue, led by  increased deliveries, will support its top-line growth. However, an overall price reduction and adverse sales mix could adversely impact its top-line growth rate.  While Tesla’s top line is likely to improve, its bottom line could continue to decline due to the reduction in the average selling price of its vehicles. Nonetheless, the decline in material and manufacturing costs and the company’s cost-reduction efforts will cushion its margins. Notably, analysts expect Tesla to post  earnings of $0.73 per share in Q4, down 38.7% year-over-year.  Analysts' Ratings Ahead of Q4 Print On January 22, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas lowered Tesla’s price target to $345 from $380, citing a slowdown in demand. Nonetheless, Jonas maintained the Buy rating on Tesla stock. In a similar move,  Barclays analyst Dan Levy cut Tesla’s price target to $250 from $260 and reiterated a Hold rating on January 17. The analyst expects Tesla to face volume headwinds amid softening demand.  Is Tesla a Buy or Sell Now? Despite macro headwinds, Tesla stock has gained over 45% over the past year. However, its margins have consistently declined in the first three quarters of 2023, keeping analysts sidelined.  Overall, Tesla stock has nine Buy, 10 Hold, and four Sell recommendations for a Hold consensus rating.  Analysts’ average price target of $248 implies 18.77% upside potential from current levels. Insights from Options Trading Activity While analysts are sidelined about TSLA stock, options traders are pricing in a +/- 7.09% move on earnings, smaller than the previous quarter’s earnings-related move of -9.3%. The anticipated move is determined by computing the at-the-money straddle of the options closest to the expiration after the earnings announcement. Learn more about TipRanks’ Options tool here. Bottom Line  Tesla’s focus on increasing its vehicle production and delivery capabilities, reducing costs, and improving battery technologies augurs well for long-term growth. However, near-term margin headwinds and soft demand remain concerns. Disclosure
