Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is poised to report its third quarter 2024 earnings at the end of the trading day today, October 23, 2024. Following the release of Tesla’s Q3 2024 Update Letter, company executives are expected to hold the company’s third quarter earnings call, which would address inquiries from retail and institutional investors, as well as analysts.
TSLA stock is down 16% so far this October, following the company’s release of its third quarter vehicle delivery and production report, as well as the unveiling of its dedicated robotaxi, the Cybercab. While Tesla enthusiasts were excited by the Cybercab, critics and analysts were quite unimpressed with the event due to its lack of details about the robotaxi and its larger sibling, the Robovan.
With this in mind, here are Wall Street’s expectations for Tesla’s Q3 2024 earnings, as noted in an Investors Business Daily report.
GLJ is not part of the WS consensus estimate since he works for himself rather than a major WS firm. See attached for firms that make up the $TSLA consensus.
Many here don’t get how WS analysts get paid. They are not going to put in a ridiculously high estimate so TSLA misses… https://t.co/PKYRa9pnFV pic.twitter.com/ZL48BNxaRe
