Latest updates for Tesla

February 26, 2025: News that Tesla sales in Europe fell by 45% in January drove an almost 9% drop in the company's share price, bringing the market cap back below $1 trillion. The fall in sales was over the same period as a significant increase (37%) in electric cars as a whole being sold across Europe... so in other words the sales must have been going to other brands. The Daily Telegraph tied the decline to Elon Musk's ever-stronger ties to Donald Trump, suggesting damage to the carmaker's rep with "progressives".

February 21, 2025: Tesla closed lower Friday after electric-vehicle peer Rivian Automotive posted better-than-expected gross profits on Thursday evening, and Tesla recalled some cars in the US, according to Barron's.

February 3, 2025: Tesla shares have opened around 6% lower as global markets digest the news about Trump's tariffs and a possible trade war.

January 30, 2025: Tesla's latest earnings report for the last quarter of 2024 was disappointing, with revenue falling 8% compared to the previous year. Revenue came in below expectations at $25.71 billion and so did earnings per share (EPS), which was $0.73.

January 17, 2025: Tesla's shares moved up by 3.5% early in trading on Friday as the prolific trading session provided a solid final day for the week, according to Yahoo Finance.

Is Tesla stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Tesla stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tesla's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Tesla's P/E ratio

Tesla's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 138x. In other words, Tesla shares trade at around 138x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Tesla's PEG ratio

Tesla's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.0935. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Tesla's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Tesla's EBITDA

Tesla's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $13 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Tesla's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Tesla's environmental, social and governance track record

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Tesla.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

Tesla's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 27.59

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Tesla's overall score of 27.59 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 61st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Tesla is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Tesla's environmental score

Environmental score: 1.25/100

Tesla's environmental score of 1.25 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Tesla's social score

Social score: 17.81/100

Tesla's social score of 17.81 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Tesla's governance score

Governance score: 10.53/100

Tesla's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Tesla's controversy score

Controversy score: 3/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Tesla scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Tesla hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) summary

Tesla Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Total ESG score	27.59
Total ESG percentile	60.92
Environmental score	1.25
Environmental score percentile	1
Social score	17.81
Social score percentile	1
Governance score	10.53
Governance score percentile	1
Level of controversy	3

Tesla stock dividends

We're not expecting Tesla to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have Tesla's stocks ever split?

Tesla's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on 24 August 2022 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tesla stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Tesla stocks, which in turn could have impacted Tesla's stock price.

Tesla stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Tesla's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $138.8025 up to $488.5399. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Tesla's is 2.336. This would suggest that Tesla's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
