Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tesla stock closed most recently at three hundred sixteen United
States dollars and six cents, posting a gain of over
three per cent on the day. Recent trading activity has
shown higher than average volumes at times, followed by stretches
with considerably lighter activity. For example, on one recent day,
ninety million shares traded, which was well above the daily average,

(00:20):
but yesterday's total was just thirty seven million, only about
a third of usual volume. This volatility in trading hints
at both renewed interest from investors following headlines and the
caution that often surrounds technology shares navigating periods of rapid change.
The upward momentum comes in the wake of several unpredictable
weeks for Tesla investors. The company's latest quarterly results disappointed

(00:44):
Wall Street, with revenue falling by almost twelve per cent
year over year to approximately twenty two and a half
billion United States dollars. Earnings per share were forty cents,
down from fifty two cents a year ago and slightly
below analyst Expectationsvaries and automotive sales also declined, and gross
margins slipped to seventeen point two percent. These results did

(01:07):
not go unnoticed, prompting farms such as Dyewa and Stifle
to lower their profit forecasts and price targets. Dyewa cut
its twenty twenty five earnings estimate to one dollar and
fifty five cents, for example, though retail investors remain bullish
and the company's valuation still hovers around one trillion United
States dollars. Tesla has also captured market attention for its

(01:30):
push into non automotive ventures. Notably, the new Tesla branded
diner in Los Angeles reportedly generated forty seven thousand United
States dollars in just six hours, stoking speculation that complementary
businesses could help offset softer vehicle demand. Meanwhile, Wall Street
remains divided on the company's outlook. Consensus among more than

(01:52):
thirty major analysts is hold, with price targets spanning from
nineteen to five hundred United States dollars and the media
near three hundred one. Big name investment banks such as Goldman,
Sachs and Benchmark have just raised their targets slightly to
three hundred fifteen and four hundred seventy five United States dollars, respectively,
but maintain mixed recommendations. In summary, while Tesla faces operational

(02:15):
challenges and uneven demand in its core electric vehicle business,
its strength as a brand and ongoing innovation continue to
fuel both optimism and debate among analysts and investors alike.
