SC has highlighted this Insight as a Top Pick
SUMMARY
  • Tesla's Q1 results on April 20th (after market) will likely beat Street estimates, but the overshoot may not be as important as profit margins, which should decline versus Q4 2021.
  • Q2 outlook is grim, given the lockdown of Tesla's Shanghai factory. Even if output ramps up in May, exports--which are 40% of output--may not recover due to epic port congestion.
  • Tesla has 2 new factories ramping up as of this month. A slowdown at its most profitable plant amid start-up costs could raise the need for equity financing.
