Tesla buy or sell? Bubble?Reasons to buy Tsla
Although electric cars occupy a small portion of the global automobile market, Tesla has acquired a large market share within this niche segment. Tesla has a little less then 1% marketshare worldwide which is impressive for a young car company like Tesla. Especially in the electric segment where it has 16% marketshare in 2019. The company has a strong performance adn the unique design helps the sales. For example the preorder of the Tesla Truck. Also the solar and storage deployments will probably witness significant growth aided by the positive reception of the Megapack and Powerwall products.
The delivery of Model 3 has risen significantly, which counts for a big part of the companies overall deliveries since it the best selling car of Tesla so far. Besides Model 3, Model Y is also improving Tesla’s prospects. The construction progress for Gigafactory 4 in Berlin and Gigafactory 5 in Austin are also underway, with production from both plants expected to start this year.
With China being the biggest EV market, Tesla’s ambitious production plans in the country bode well. Robust production of Model 3 from the new Gigafactory in Shanghai bode well for its future growth. The Shanghai factory is ramping up well and commands a higher market share in the Chinese EV market.
Over a multi-year horizon, Tesla anticipates achieving 50% average annual growth in vehicle deliveries. Meanwhile, low leverage of Tesla offers financial flexibility. Notably, its long-term debt-to-capital ratio stands at 0.31, lower than its industry's 0.54.
Historically, from 2016 to 2020 sales of TSLA increased in average of 45% from one year to another, with an estimate of 49% sales growth for 2021 and 33% for 2022.
The liquidity and Solvency of Tesla are both scoring good which means Tesla is able to pay of short term as long term obligations.
Reasons to sell Tesla inc
The company’s high R&D and SG&A costs do raise concerns. During the last reported quarter, R&D and SG&A costs were up both yearly and sequentially. Capex soared 138% year over year and is likely to increase this year as well, thereby affecting cash flow and margins.
Tesla's excessive reliance on credit sales remain a concern. In 2020, Tesla posted a net GAAP income of $721 million. Without the regulatory credit sales, the firm would have incurred a loss to the tune of $859 million.
Stretched valuation of Tesla is a concern. Going by the EV/EBITDA multiple, which is often used to value auto stocks, Tesla is currently trading at a trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA multiple of 187.9, considerably higher than the industry average of 52.41. The firm’s P/S ratio of 17.3 also compares unfavorably to the industry’s 3.05.
Tesla bubble?
Based on the future outlook of the industry and the company and considering all the discussion around TSLA bubble, it can be assessed which will be the fair value for the company at the moment. For this, the EPS reported for last quarter was taken and annualised which gives us 0,96$ per share. Based on recent developement and estimation, it is forecasted that Tesla will have an annual growth in earnings of 40% each year, first 5 years and 10% from year 6 to year 15.
For safety reason 15 years is the number of years we will calculate with as there is a reasonable time to recover an investment. The forecasted EPS after 15 years based on this growth is around 12,17$ per share. Multiplying these with a decent P/E ratio of 35, the fair price would be currently below 500$, while the real price is just under 800$.
Buy or not?
Although it is clear that the company is the market leader and may outperform without problem any other company from the industry for the never ending future, however, following value investing principles, the current price is out of real position and may lead to the fact that the stock is overvalued.
Thus, the stock may face a corrective action in the near future. However, it is a bit funny to observe that even in a period of instability and uncertainty and in this Covid-19 situation, where people use the cars a lot less, Tesla kept it's position, and even increased its position, without recording great losses.
This could mean that value trading as we know, may not be applicable anymore and the investors should adjust and adapt trading principles and behaviours accordingly.
If you are a value investor, like I am, then Tesla is not the right choice to invest in.
K-Shaped Recoverymany people still thinks we're in a V-Shape recovery , but it's a K-Shaped recovery in progress right now.
which is one of last thing you want to see in a major economy.
dumb money goes into many worthless tech companies and spike their market caps at unbeliavable levels. (just like before 2000 dotcom bust)
on the otherside industrial sectors are not showing any robust recovery signs.
from this perspective this market is totally unstable now and crash is inevitable.
A look at a century of logarithmic Dow - it's not a bubble!I keep hearing that stocks are in a bubble, but that just isn't true. People always look at charts in a linear mode, but this is not how math works. To get accurate prices and movement we MUST look at a logarithmic chart. When you do this for the Dow Jones average for the last century you clearly see we perhaps are a little inflated, but nowhere near Bubble territory. You want a Bubble? 1929 - now *that* was wildly over valued (with a subsequent epic crash). Now if in 2023 the Dow is above 45k? Then you can get back to me about how we might be in an asset Bubble. Until then I expect the trend to continue bullish.
Unbridled Optimism, Irrational exuberance, wild speculationThe NQ is stuck. how many times can you hit new ATH price in 2 days? 5? 10? 20? I watched Sam Zell, Billionaire Investor on CNBC this morning saying what myself and a few others say in the room.
While Retail traders use their stimulus checks gambling in the market, like the cocaine monkey hitting the cocaine button and ignoring food and water till they drop dead this market NEEDS to correct.
Is buying the dips a real speculation trade when we drop from 13,686 to 13,683? Nobody knows what will happen in any given moment in the Markets, and yet in the room 90% of Traders are predicting
what will happen in complex patterns, for example, "we will dip to NN,NNN and they go up". how could they possibly know in this market? We are in a crazy, irrational bubble..
Having said that I do think there is a good chance we get a "Turnaround Tuesday", we defiantly need to get an UP and down cycle going again... Hey it may not happen, there is a 50/50% chance it will.
It's just what makes sense.
TSLA Bubble is close to bursting!Almost at the end of a large 5th Elliot Wave, will need to pull back hard to make Tesla healthy. This could be triggered by earnings tomorrow or soon after (It may approach 1000) Tesla is losing market share in Europe at a face pace to VW. Extremely overvalued at the moment due to people using it as an asset like BTC.
Target 1 Short - 364
Target 2 Short - 219
Bitcoin + SPAC = Double the BubbleThrew some money at this today. Bakkt, a group that has been trying to bring a Bitcoin ETF to market for several years now, has decided to go the SPAC route to market. SPACs have been one of the hottest things during this crazy bubble market. I expect it will probably go up a stupid amount for no good reason. Target? No idea, let's say $75, lolz
$600 SPY in 2022 - Bubble ModeThe following Model is Based off the .com Bubble price action, candles have been resized to reflect % change in current price levels relating to the SPY.
Start point of the model was determined by when some fund managers speculated the .com bubble was in a bubble when it was just beginning to form. Our current start point is started also based on the same reasoning that some fund managers back in September started thinking we were in a bubble.
Current Bubble Factors:
The average Retail Investor out-performed Hedge Funds This Year
Fed Dropped Interest Rates to the Lowest Rate in History
BACKGROUND:
2 Years before the .com bubble crashed, and 2 years before the 08 bubble crashed, the federal reserve tried to combat these financial bubbles by dramatically increasing interest rates. By lowering these interest rates to so low and promising not to raise them for 2 years, they've basically welcomed a financial bubble with open arms.
Literally, EVERYONE, is trading now. Easy money = Bubble money
Literally, 2.7 trillion done in stimulus deals, more then ever before.
Bubble? What bubble? Ah this bubble! nah...You see how manipulative the markets have been with 1 twitt, forget about elections outcome. 2 key events:
1. 20% tax period starting towards end of March
2. FED to keep rates to 0% till 2023, what else do you need?
Although valuations are to the sky short is out of the table at the moment, maybe towards end of 21-22,with rates at 0% where do you think all these trillions sitting at 0% will go?
Get ready to see some crazy stuff happening, TSLA 1 trillion, Zoom 300billion , Apple to 3 trillion etc etc etc... can you stay on the sidelines for a year or more????
