Tesla stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Tesla stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Tesla's P/E ratio

  Tesla's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 239x. In other words, Tesla shares trade at around 239 times 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 (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 7.0495. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Tesla's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Tesla's EBITDA

  Tesla's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $11.3 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Tesla stock ever split?

Tesla's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on August 24, 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.

How volatile is Tesla stock?

Over the last 12 months, Tesla's stocks price has ranged from $212.11 to as high as $488.54. Tesla's beta measurement of stock volatility is 2.07. For comparison, the market (NASDAQ) average beta is 1. This would suggest that Tesla's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Tesla's beta stock volatility rating.
