Tesla’s Q3 Earnings Reveal Stalled Growth Amid EV Market Challenges
Tesla's third-quarter earnings fell short of Wall Street expectations, with adjusted EPS of $0.50 missing the $0.55 estimate despite record revenue of $28.1 billion. Operating margins plummeted to 5.8% from 10.8% year-over-year, highlighting persistent cost pressures in the auto sector.
While energy segment performance and free cash FLOW provided bright spots, the results underscore Tesla's growth deceleration. The stock remains priced for perfection, yet fading tax credit tailwinds and surging operating expenses suggest near-term headwinds.
