Pro Research Insights

Investing Pro (first link in description) pro research shows since 2023, Tesla's revenue has not increased. Net margins have decreased. Over the last 3 years, price performance has gone from a PE ratio of 34x to 365x (10x multiple), yet revenue is not increasing and profit margins have gone from 15% to 3%.

Elon is selling the dream of the Optimus robot and robo taxi. It's a dream because it's not a reality yet, but people invest based on optimism that Elon might pull it off. Elon Musk has said the Optimus robot, once sold, will be the highest and most purchased product ever in history, more than the iPhone. If true, Tesla can trade at a cheap price based on that projected valuation.

Mag 7 Comparison

Tesla is the most expensive stock to own out of the Mag 7 companies. It's trading at a high premium because people value it as if it's already selling the robo taxi and Optimus robot, despite no revenue or profit from them yet.
