Market Index Analysis

  • Tesla (TSLA) is a member of the NASDAQ 100, the S&P 100, and the S&P 500 index.
  • All three indices are retreating from all-time highs with accumulating bearish factors.
  • The Bull Bear Power Indicator of the NASDAQ 100 turned bearish with a descending trendline.

Market Sentiment Analysis

Equity futures are pointing lower this morning, as markets continue to digest Kevin Warsh as President Trump’s Federal Reserve pick. Earnings season, especially in technology, has been mixed to date. Investors will receive over 100 S&P 500 releases this week. Market-moving earnings reports will come from Amazon, Alphabet, Disney, Palantir, and Advanced Micro Devices. The aggressive precious metals sell-off grabs headlines, and Friday’s NFP report could inject more volatility. The brutal Bitcoin sell-off is also adding to selling pressure.

Tesla Fundamental Analysis

Tesla is one of the world’s most valuable companies by market capitalization, but it faces stiff competition from Chinese rivals. Expiring EV credits add to declining market share and shrinking profit margins.

So, why am I bearish on TSLA following its earnings release?

Tesla reported revenues of $24.90 billion and earnings per share of $0.50, beating expectations of $24.79 and $0.45, respectively. Still, I remain bearish after TSLA reported its second consecutive annual delivery decline and lost market share to BYD, Xiaomi, NIO, and other competitors. It also stakes its future on Cybercab robotaxis and Optimus humanoid robots, for which it will retool one of its manufacturing plants. Still, they are years away from being income-generating products. In the meantime, Tesla is losing brand loyalty and market dominance, while valuations remain sky-high. Its subscription-based software pivot is equally disappointing, with a 12% adoption rate.
