TeslaTSLA

Business Snapshot

• Tesla, Inc. is a NASDAQ-listed US common stock under ticker TSLA. The payload does not provide a sector or industry classification.
• The latest supplied price is $309.31. The session range was $293.43–$399.36, indicating exceptionally high intraday volatility.
• Tesla’s reported revenue was $28.236 billion in the latest period. The business generated $398 million of operating income and $1.114 billion of net income.

Financial Trends

• Revenue: Latest revenue rose to $28.236B from $22.387B, a $5.849B increase (+26.1%) versus the prior period. Compared with the oldest supplied quarter, revenue was essentially flat: $28.236B versus $28.095B, up $141M (+0.5%). The annual 2025 figure of $94.827B is not directly comparable with the quarterly figures.
• Gross margin: Gross profit increased only $31M, from $4.720B to $4.751B, while gross margin contracted from 21.08% to 16.83%, a 4.25 percentage-point decline. Versus the oldest quarter’s 17.99%, the latest margin is down 1.16 points.
• Operating performance: Operating expenses increased from $3.779B to $4.353B, up $574M (+15.2%). Operating income fell from $941M to $398M, down $543M (-57.7%); operating margin declined from 4.20% to 1.41%. Against the oldest supplied quarter, operating income fell $1.226B, from $1.624B, and margin declined 4.37 points from 5.78%.
• Net income and EPS: Net income rose from $477M to $1.114B, up $637M, and diluted EPS increased from $0.13 to $0.32. This improvement contrasts with the deterioration in operating income and gross margin, so the payload does not establish that core operating profitability improved.
• Free cash flow: FCF declined from $1.444B to $352M, down $1.092B (-75.6%) sequentially. Versus the oldest quarter’s $4.800B, latest FCF is down $4.448B (-92.7%). The trajectory is sharply weaker. Capital expenditures rose from $2.493B to $8.282B, while operating cash flow increased from $3.937B to $8.634B.
• Cash and liquidity: Cash declined from $16.603B to $15.219B, down $1.384B, and is down $3.070B (-16.8%) from $18.289B four periods ago. Current assets fell sequentially by $990M, while current liabilities rose $1.287B. The current ratio declined from 2.04 to 1.94, and from 2.07 four periods ago.
• Balance sheet growth: Total assets increased from $143.724B to $148.524B sequentially and from $133.735B four periods ago, a $14.789B (+11.1%) increase. Equity rose from $84.116B to $86.858B and from $79.970B four periods ago. Liabilities, however, increased from $58.922B to $61.005B and from $53.019B, a $7.986B (+15.1%) increase over four periods.
• Inventory: Inventory declined sequentially from $14.434B to $13.752B, but remains $1.476B (+12.0%) above the oldest supplied quarter.
• Shares: Reported shares outstanding increased from 3.755B to 3.949B sequentially and from 3.324B four periods ago. The supplied weighted-average diluted share count was comparatively stable across the quarterly income statement, so the two share measures should not be treated as identical.

Financial Health

• The latest balance sheet remains liquid, with $15.219B of cash, $68.758B of current assets, and a 1.94 current ratio. However, liquidity has weakened from four periods ago, when cash was $18.289B and the current ratio was 2.07.
• The key concern is cash conversion: latest FCF of $352M is far below both the prior quarter’s $1.444B and the oldest supplied quarter’s $4.800B, primarily alongside a major increase in capital expenditures.
• Profitability is also under pressure. Revenue recovered sequentially, but gross margin fell sharply to 16.83% and operating margin to 1.41%. This indicates weaker operating leverage despite higher reported sales.
• Total assets and equity are growing, but liabilities are growing faster than equity over the four-period comparison. The payload does not provide debt values or a debt-to-equity ratio, so leverage cannot be fully assessed.
• Overall, the latest period shows adequate near-term balance-sheet liquidity but a deteriorating profitability and FCF trajectory. The investment case requires evidence that the heavy investment cycle can translate into improving margins and cash generation.

Insider Activity

• No insider sentiment or insider transaction data was provided. Insider buying, selling, and ownership trends therefore cannot be assessed.

Multi-Timeframe Technical Context

• Ultra-short term — minutes: On the 1-minute data, TSLA is below its EMA-12, EMA-26, EMA-50, SMA-20, SMA-50, and SMA-200. RSI-14 is 40.4, MACD is -0.0391 versus a 0.009 signal, and price is near the lower Bollinger Band at $309.36. This is a weak intraminute setup, though the current volume of 6,638 is above the 20-bar average of 2,029.
• Short term — hours to days: The 15-minute close is $309.31, below the EMA-12, EMA-26, EMA-50, and SMA-20. RSI-14 is 36.97, MACD is negative, and price is near the lower Bollinger Band at $308.85. The 1-hour chart shows a larger 200-bar decline of 21.73%, with price below the SMA-20 and far below the SMA-200 of $342.38. RSI-14 is 38.28, consistent with weak momentum but not an extreme RSI reading on that measure.
• Long term — weeks to months: The daily chart is decisively bearish: the latest daily close of $311.21 is below EMA-12 ($333.30), EMA-26 ($359.02), EMA-50 ($376.70), SMA-20 ($363.93), SMA-50 ($390.76), and SMA-200 ($411.60). Daily RSI-14 is 18.08, which signals deeply oversold conditions, while MACD remains negative.
• The weekly chart also remains weak, with price below the weekly EMA-12, EMA-26, EMA-50, SMA-20, and SMA-50. The weekly close is near but below the lower Bollinger Band at $316.20, and MACD is below its signal line.
• The monthly picture is mixed rather than uniformly bearish: the 81-bar monthly series is up 1,375.77%, and price remains above the monthly EMA-50 of $302.75 and lower Bollinger Band of $248.91. However, price is below the monthly EMA-12, SMA-20, and upper trend averages, while monthly MACD is below its signal line.
• Across horizons, the immediate setup is oversold and volatile, but the daily and weekly trend structure remains bearish. Oversold readings can support a rebound without confirming a durable trend reversal.

Bull / Bear Cases

• Short-term bull case: The sharp decline and low RSI readings—especially daily RSI-14 at 18.08—leave room for a technical rebound. Price is near the lower Bollinger Bands on the 15-minute, weekly, and monthly charts. A recovery above the 15-minute middle band near $309.98 and upper band near $311.10, followed by sustained strength above the 1-hour middle band near $310.28, would improve the immediate setup.
• Short-term bear case: Price remains below most short-term moving averages, and the 1-hour series has fallen 21.73% over its 200 bars. A break below the session low of $293.43 would signal renewed downside pressure. The very large session range and elevated ATR values—$3.07 hourly and $15.85 daily—make stop placement and position sizing particularly important.
• Long-term bull case: Total assets increased 11.1% over the four supplied periods, equity increased from $79.970B to $86.858B, and the latest quarter produced $8.634B of operating cash flow. The monthly series also remains substantially above its historical starting level in the supplied sample. A long-term bullish thesis would depend on high capital expenditures eventually supporting renewed revenue growth, margin expansion, and FCF recovery.
• Long-term bear case: Revenue is nearly unchanged versus the oldest supplied quarter, while gross margin fell from 17.99% to 16.83% and operating margin from 5.78% to 1.41%. FCF collapsed from $4.800B to $352M, cash declined 16.8%, and liabilities rose faster than equity. The daily and weekly charts remain below major moving averages, reinforcing the risk that the market is pricing a prolonged earnings and cash-flow reset.
• The payload contains no valuation multiples, analyst targets, company guidance, or forward estimates, so valuation-based bull and bear arguments cannot be quantified here.

Key Levels & Triggers

• Immediate support: Session low $293.43; 1-minute lower Bollinger Band $309.36; 15-minute lower Bollinger Band $308.85. The Bollinger levels are dynamic indicators rather than established horizontal support.
• Near-term resistance: 15-minute middle band $309.98, 1-hour middle band $310.28, 15-minute upper band $311.10, and current daily close reference $311.21.
• Higher resistance: 1-hour upper Bollinger Band $314.92; daily EMA-12 $333.30; 1-hour SMA-200 $342.38; daily SMA-20 $363.93; daily EMA-50 $376.70.
• Major trend resistance: Daily SMA-50 $390.76, daily SMA-200 $411.60, and the supplied session high of $399.36.
• Bullish trigger: Reclaiming and holding the $310–$315 area would be the first sign of short-term stabilization. A later move above $333.30 would challenge the daily EMA-12; sustained recovery above the daily SMA-20 at $363.93 would be more meaningful for the multi-week trend.
• Bearish trigger: A decisive break below $293.43 would expose renewed downside risk. On the longer-term chart, continued failure below the daily and weekly moving-average clusters would keep the primary trend bearish.
• Fundamental trigger: The most important confirmation would be a reversal in the reported trajectory: improving gross and operating margins, materially higher FCF after the elevated capex period, stabilization of cash, and revenue growth that outpaces expense growth.
