Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is showing signs of recovery despite recent sell-offs and negative fundamentals, according to Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black. Black highlights a balance between declining fundamentals and excitement over Full Self-Driving (FSD) and robotaxi developments. He notes a significant drop in earnings estimates for 2024 and 2025 but suggests that much of the negative news may already be factored into Tesla's stock price. Black also points out the potential risk of price cuts due to high Model Y inventory levels and the importance of Tesla's guidance on delivery growth and earnings estimates for stock movement.
