NEUTRAL IMPACT
Tesla's Q4 2023 EV sales were surpassed by BYD, but it led annual sales with 1.8 million vehicles. Stock surged 110% in 2023, with a slight dip of 3% in early 2024. Q4 earnings report is highly anticipated with an estimated EPS of $0.74.
While BYD's surpassing Tesla in Q4 sales could be seen as negative, Tesla's strong annual performance and significant stock surge in 2023 may mitigate short-term impact. The upcoming Q4 earnings report will be more indicative of the stock's direction, and the anticipation of this event suggests a neutral short-term impact until the actual figures are released.
