All eyes will be on electric car maker, Tesla (TSLA), on Wednesday afternoon as it reports its fourth quarter earnings.The Estimize community is calling for EPS of $0.05, 2 cents higher than Wall Street while revenue estimates of $1.8B are right in line with the Street. Ahead of Tesla's earnings, the Estimize community has frantically dropped EPS estimates by 56% in the last 3 months, reflecting a bearish sentiment on the company's ability to turn a profit in Q4. Sharing this belief, some analysts have recently downgraded Tesla from a hold to sell rating.
The report follows a volatile year for the company which delivered record sales, yet saw its share prices tumble. Investors have grown increasingly concerned over both the short and long term outlook of Tesla and on the heels of its earnings report, share prices reached a 52-week low. The company's over exuberance on car production and shipment guidance has contributed to the sell off we are seeing today. Long term investors fear that volatile macroeconomic conditions, including plunging oil prices are making electric car less attractive to consumers.
Do you think TSLA can beat estimates? There is still time to get your estimate in here!
