Tesla's Per-Car Profit Fell Another 8% Last Quarter, and I Fear This May Be the New Norm
Yahoo Finance ·
Earlier this month, drastically improved second-quarter delivery numbers rekindled hope that electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla ( TSLA -2.17% ) was back on track. The company's fiscal second-quarter results, reported after Wednesday's close, however, tainted those strong delivery figures. Here's a closer look. Yes, despite beating analysts' top-line expectations, Tesla's Q2 earnings fell short of estimates. The company turned $28.2 billion in revenue into a per-share profit of $0.33, versus analysts' consensus forecasts of $26.3 billion and $0.50, respectively. Granted, the company is establishing or growing several different businesses with unpredictable developmental costs. These include solar panels and energy storage batteries, of course, but also robotaxis and, soon, humanoid robotics. That's why the earnings miss doesn't necessarily mean a great deal. The fact that its breadwinning electric vehicle business is showing signs of marketability strain, though, is a concern. Tesla might not be able to support the ongoing development of these other ventures from its EV operation as well as previously expected.
