The Tesla stock outlook has become a heated topic again, especially after Elon Musk’s bold comparison to Nvidia. Investors now wonder if Tesla can truly rebound and climb toward the top of the market. Despite current setbacks, the Tesla stock outlook still draws strong opinions from both bulls and skeptics.
Tesla’s automotive business, once a growth engine, has shown signs of stagnation. In Q1, Tesla saw a 13% drop in deliveries, falling to 337,000 units compared to last year. Meanwhile, competitors are gaining traction in key markets worldwide. Revenue from automotive sales also dropped 20% year over year. This decline is mainly due to Tesla’s significant price cuts on its models. The new Cybertruck, which Musk has high hopes for, has underperformed, with no major sales expected anytime soon.
Tesla’s profit margins have continued to shrink, now sitting at just 7.4% over the past year. This decline, paired with falling deliveries, which means Tesla could face further pressure on its earnings. Sales are particularly down in Tesla’s largest markets: China, Europe, and the U.S. Without any new models announced, Tesla’s future prospects in the automotive space look uncertain. While the company has hinted at breakthroughs in autonomous vehicles, they have yet to deliver on these promises. Competitors like Waymo have already moved ahead, with 250,000 rides per week.
Despite Musk’s optimistic forecast, reaching a $10 trillion market cap and that seems unlikely. The automotive industry, Tesla’s core revenue source, faces stiff competition, and growth in other sectors like autonomous vehicles remains uncertain. While Elon Musk’s vision for Tesla is ambitious, investors need to consider the challenges they are going to face. Tesla’s growth has slowed, and unless it significantly changes course, the $10 trillion valuation Musk predicts may remain out of reach.
