Tesla's Energy Segment Faces Q4 Dip As Automotive Grew, But Elon Musk-Led Company Expects Trend Reversal In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Tesla Inc's energy generation and storage segment saw a Q4 revenue decline to $1,438 million, a 7.8% drop from the previous quarter, due to lower energy storage deployments. Despite this, annual revenue for the segment increased by 54% to $6,035 million. Conversely, Tesla's automotive revenues reached a yearly high in Q4 at $21,563 million, a 9.9% increase from Q3. Tesla anticipates that in 2024, the growth rate of its energy storage business will surpass that of its automotive sector. The company is focusing on ramping up its Megafactory in Lathrop, California, which is expected to produce 10,000 Megapack units annually, equating to 40 GWh of energy storage.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Tesla's Q4 energy segment revenue declined, but the company experienced overall annual growth and expects energy storage to outpace automotive growth in 2024. The Megafactory's ramp-up is a key factor in this anticipated growth.
The short-term impact on TSLA stock may be neutral as the Q4 dip in energy revenue is offset by the overall annual growth and positive outlook for 2024. The focus on the Megafactory and energy storage as future growth drivers could maintain investor confidence despite the temporary setback.
