Electric vehicle maker Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) is riding high again after Big Money inflows drive gains.
TSLA is the largest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer by market share and has an energy storage business as well. Tesla has captured an industry-leading 17% of battery EV sales through October and next year looks to add a more affordable model to its offerings. Still, the company’s biggest opportunities may be in autonomous driving and robotics (including humanoids), though those may not bear fruit for some time.
Financially, TSLA’s third-quarter revenue grew 8% year-over-year to $25.2 billion, mostly due to increased vehicle deliveries as well as energy generation and storage. The company’s per-share earnings were $0.62. That’s a 17% increase from the previous year, despite economic challenges, largely due to record vehicle deliveries (Cybertruck is now the third best-selling EV in the U.S.)
