Tesla Earnings Anticipation Sparks Market Speculation
Tesla's fourth-quarter results, due Wednesday post-market, are expected to show year-over-year declines in revenue and profits. Options traders price in a potential 5% swing in either direction by week's end—a MOVE that could either reignite the stock's rally or deepen its retreat from December highs.
Market focus extends beyond electric vehicles to Elon Musk's commentary on Tesla's robotics and autonomous driving ambitions. The CEO recently suggested Optimus humanoid robots could enter public sales by late 2025, positioning these ventures as future revenue pillars amid softening EV demand.
Remarkably, Tesla shares continue defying weakening delivery metrics, with investors increasingly valuing the company through the lens of its technological optionality rather than traditional automotive multiples.
