Tesla Motors on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma have been closely covering Tesla Motors, and their research reports have been largely divided between bullish and bearish sentiment. Analyst Vicki Bryan reported that market consensus estimates for Tesla’s Q3 deliveries have been falling so hard and fast they now approach her formerly well below market estimate. Meanwhile, Baptista Research reported that Tesla managed to surpass the revenue expectations as well as the earnings expectations of Wall Street, achieving an all-time high in vehicle production, deliveries, and revenue. On the other hand, Kevin George reported that there is potential for Chinese brands to encroach on European markets, and Vicki Bryan also reported that Tesla’s Q2 deliveries were solidly higher versus expectations, due to 11th hour fire sales. Finally, Vicki Bryan also reported that prices have been slashed and slashed again, on top of expensive incentives, but Tesla has been unable to ease elevated inventory in key markets.
