Tesla (TSLA)
Over the years, EV maker Tesla has evolved into a dynamic technology innovator. It has transformed the EV space much the same way as Amazon changed the retail landscape and Netflix revolutionized entertainment. Tesla is the market leader in battery-powered electric car sales in the United States, with roughly 70% market share. The company’s flagship Model 3 is the best-selling EV model in the United States. Tesla, which has managed to garner the reputation of a gold standard over the years, is now a far bigger entity that what it started off since its IPO in 2010, with its market cap crossing $1 trillion for the first time in October 2021. The EV king’s market capitalization is more than the combined value of legacy automakers including Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, General Motors and Ford.
TSLA is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, with a Growth Style Score of A and VGM Score of B. Earnings are expected to grow 66.1% year-over-year for the current fiscal year, with sales growth of 62%.
Eight analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $1.77 to $11.26 per share for 2022. TSLA boasts an average earnings surprise of 41.3%.
On a historic basis, Tesla has generated cash flow growth of 95.7%, and is expected to report cash flow expansion of 177% this year.
With solid fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, TSLA should be on investors' short lists.
