Company Health Overview
Tesla’s financials signal robust health—$98.36 billion in trailing twelve-month (TTM) revenue reflects a 3% year-over-year bump, despite Q4 2024 delivery dips (485,000 vs. 495,000 expected). Net income of $12.86 billion—down from $15 billion—shows margin pressure (14.4% vs. 17.9% prior), yet $30.72 billion in cash dwarfs a lean $4.96 billion debt load (0.08 debt-to-equity). ROE at 22.5% beats peers, fueled by $1.8 billion in Q4 free cash flow—X posts note: “Tesla’s cash king!” Production scaled—1.85 million vehicles in 2024—though China competition (BYD) and tariff risks linger.
5-Year Forecast
- Revenue: Projected $150 billion by 2029—10% CAGR—driven by Cybertruck (250,000 units/year), Robotaxi rollout (2026), and energy storage doubling to 50 GWh annually.
- Net Income: $20 billion—8% CAGR—as margins stabilize at 15%; FSD adoption offsets cost hikes.
- Stock Price: $400-$450 range—60-80% upside—assuming 50 P/E and autonomy gains; X predicts: “$500 if Robotaxi hits!”
- Risks: Tariffs (25% Canada/Mexico), China slowdown; mitigated by $30 billion cash buffer.
Tesla’s healthy—cash-rich, debt-light, and scaling—poised for growth if autonomy delivers. XOM ($119) and LMT ($600) ride oil-defense waves; TSLA’s a tech play at $250.52—buy on dips.
