Despite promising reports, the returns on shares of Chinese competitors are still lower than those of Tesla. More importantly, all the aforementioned companies have recorded declines since January 1, 2024.
Will Tesla's report be also bullish?
Tesla is expected to release its sales data this week, with an anticipated drop in gross car margins by 2.1% year-on-year, excluding credits.
Estimates also indicate a 5.4% quarterly drop in deliveries, with 441,019 electric vehicles delivered in the second quarter, marking the second consecutive decline. Notably, this would be the first such occurrence since 2012 when it was phasing out its first Roadster model.
Tesla (D1)
Despite some analysts lowering their delivery estimates, investors remain optimistic, buoyed by Musk's promises of new models and advancements in humanoid robots and robotaxis. Although Tesla's shares have dropped by 16% over the year, Musk's plans to unveil a dedicated robotaxi in August have sparked investor interest. Moreover, the stock price is rebounding from lows set in late April, where declines reached 44% in 2024.
