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 121x. In other words, Tesla shares trade at around 121x 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 12.203. 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 $13.2 billion.

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

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 2.295. This would suggest that Tesla's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
