Tesla Earnings Preview: Traders Anticipate 7% Stock Swing Amid EV Market Watch
Tesla's third-quarter earnings report looms large, with options markets pricing in a potential 7% MOVE in either direction. The electric vehicle pioneer's shares could test December 2023 highs or October lows depending on Wednesday's results. Historical volatility suggests even greater potential swings—Tesla stock has averaged 9.6% moves post-earnings over its last four reports.
Analysts remain divided on valuation, though consensus leans toward overbought territory. Market participants will scrutinize updates on three key fronts: progress toward mass-market vehicles, robotaxi development timelines, and advancements in the Optimus humanoid robot project. Last year's 20% surge following similar announcements sets a high bar for market reaction.
