The Future of Tesla

Everybody knows Tesla as one of the top electric vehicle automakers in the market today. Furthermore, the company seems financially healthy and profitable:

However, what does the future reserve in terms of auto market and stock value?

Other automakers are entering the market and will force prices down, reducing Tesla's profit margins. Current energy supply problems in Europe will have negative effects in the output and profitability of Tesla's factory in Germany (Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg). China's lockdowns are having negative effects (Source: Fortune) in the productivity of Tesla Giga Shanghai (Gigafactory 3). The delivery of new vehicles is slowing (Source: Reuters). The economy will enter (officially) in some sort of recession in the second half of 2022. Thus, we can only expect car sales will decrease (2022-2023). Furthermore, Tesla vehicles are on the expensive side, which might contract sales even more.

Since November 2021, Tesla's stock (TSLA) price fell from ~1230 USD to ~720 USD, a decrease of ~42 %. However, in terms of stock valuation, it is still astronomical with a P/E (share price/earnings) ratio of ~97.7.

Forecast:

Tesla is expected to release Q2 (second quarter) earnings on 2022-07-20 after market close. The numbers will be mostly solid, but some yellow/red flags might appear, scaring investors are preparing them for the recession in the next quarters, which will decrease EPS (earnings per share). This might be an opportunity for the stock value to fall even more during the second half of the year. Major resistance levels might be at 550 USD and 450 USD. This is not investment advice, it is solely a personal forecast based on technical analysis and macroeconomic conditions.

Financial Markets For the week, the main stock market indices were slightly up, with the S&P500 gaining 0.6% and the NASDAQ 100 up by 1.1%. The small cap index (Russel 2000) dropped 0.5%. Only the S&P closed at an all-time-high. Gold closed the week at a new all-time-high of 2657$/oz. Silver is still holding the 31$ level and it can go in either direction in the coming weeks, although we favor the downside from a fundamental perspective (slowing industrial demand). The barrel of WTI fell 3.7% and is again around 68$, which is a short-term technical support level. Bitcoin was up by 3.1% and seems to be in the top end of the 53-66k$ range it has been following for the past couple of months. The relative strength of the US dollar (DXY) fell slightly but is still around the 100-101 support level. The EUR/USD is at 1.12$, while the USD/JPY is slightly down to 142 JPY.

The small cap index (Russel 2000) fell 3.1%, giving up the previous week's gains. The precious metals remained strong but are about to stall. Gold gained 0.9% while silver ended the week unchanged. Recently silver broke out of the 32$ level and now needs to defend this level. WTI jumped off the 68$ level, and gained 4.1% this week -it now sits at ~71.6$/bbl. Bitcoin fell 2.7% and is in the upper range of the channel it has been trading in since March 2024. In our opinion, bitcoin it is not looking particularly bearish nor bullish.
