Tesla Q3 Earnings Announcement

22-10-24

 

Tesla will announce its third quarter earnings this Wednesday after market close following the lacklustre robo-taxi event which failed to woo investors on 10th October.

After reporting third quarter deliveries of 462,890 units above the 462,000 expected by analysts, the focus during the upcoming earnings call will be on the businesses profit margins.

In its Q2 2024 earnings report, Tesla delivered revenue of $25.5 billion, surpassing market expectations of $24.73 billion by 3.11%.

Despite the revenue beat, Tesla’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) fell short, coming in at $0.52 against the projected $0.62, marking a significant miss of 16.13%.

The Q2 EPS shortfall highlighted the company’s struggle to maintain profitability as it remains in a ruthless price-cutting contest with Chinese rival BYD.

Musk’s plan to produce a “fully autonomous unsupervised” cybercab for delivery before 2027 was met with amusement by investors that have grown weary of his ambitious capital-intensive ideas which lay blind to regulatory scrutiny.

Previous earnings calls have marked periods of significant volatility, Tesla’s share price has moved by a minimum of 12% intra-day following each quarterly update so far this year.

Call Option

buy 1 TSLA Weekly 08-Nov-2024 217.5 Call @ $11.30 = $1130 debit 

Trade Idea

Call Option

TSLA Cash price = $216.50 (as of  22/10/2024 ) 

Buy: 1 (contract) x $11.30 (contract price) x 100 (contract size) = $1130 debit 

Total consideration of $1,130 (excl. fees + commissions)

A 10% increase to $239.25 by 08-Nov-2024 expiry would yield a 92% return on your investment. 

This strategy will break even if TSLA = 228.80 at expiry on  08-Nov-2024
