Tesla (TSLA): Positioning for growth as Musk eyes record sales

28 oct

As we anticipated in our last update, Tesla bounced right at the expected level following its earnings call. After posting better-than-expected earnings, TSLA shares surged up 20% on market opening. Tesla reported a 17% increase in net income for the September quarter, reaching $2.2 billion, which beat analyst expectations. Additionally, revenue grew by 8%, reaching $25.2 billion, just shy of the consensus estimate of $25.4 billion.

Most noteworthy, Elon Musk hinted at a promising future outlook. He stated Tesla aims for a record-breaking quarter in vehicle sales, with potential growth of 20% to 30% in 2025. However, there is still cautious sentiment about whether this will follow the pattern of past announcements, where major news led to temporary rallies, followed by dips if expectations weren’t met.

As we highlighted previously, a bounce here suggests a likely revisit to the range high. If the current trend continues, the next high could align with the trendline, potentially forming another lower high. For sustained upside, breaking this trendline with a solid push is critical. We’re closely watching these developments and will keep you updated on any relevant changes.
