Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) first-quarter earnings report, will be released on Wednesday. As the Shanghai plant prepares to reopen after a three-day shutdown due to a surge in Covid-19 cases, Tesla’s earnings are expected to rise.
Since March 28, Tesla’s factory in China has been shut down. However, Bloomberg said the company was set to go back online on Monday. Workers called to Tesla’s facility would be required to reside on-site. Due to the fact that the factory’s output will likely be restricted at first, it is unclear when regular operations may be expected. Tesla Shanghai’s pre-shutdown manufacturing might return as early as mid-May.
A short closure in March owing to security concerns would have little impact on the year’s second quarter. Nevertheless, much attention is paid to Tesla’s quarterly earnings calls.
Elon Musk’s $43 Billion purchase of Twitter keeps Tesla investors on their toes (TWTR). As a result, Tesla’s stock price climbed on Monday.
To understand why Musk aims to take over Twitter, investors will need to know more about Musk’s intentions. According to a Wedbush analyst, Daniel Ives, the company’s financing, regulatory, and Musk’s (Tesla) time management will all be on investors’ minds in the coming days.
“Poison pills” were used by Twitter on Friday to thwart Musk’s takeover attempt. Musk is Twitter’s top shareholder, with a 9.1 percent interest in the company. The effect of this is that Musk may be incentivized to sell additional Tesla shares if he succeeds in his takeover effort.
Tesla’s Profits
Tesla’s earnings are expected to more than triple from last year. Analysts at FactSet estimate that the share price was $2.26 a year ago. According to estimates, sales are expected to increase by 69 percent to $17.595 billion.
According to the company’s earlier statement, there were 310,048 Teslas delivered in the first quarter. Compared to last year, that’s a 68% gain, but it’s still below Q4 levels. So what they said was in keeping with their views.
Ives from Wedbush said the results were better than anticipated in light of the chip shortages and supply-chain delays.
By 2022, FactSet predicts that Tesla will have produced 1.494 million vehicles. However, analysts may or may not have taken Tesla’s production losses in Shanghai into account.
In March, Tesla’s Berlin facility opened, while Austin’s factory opened on April 7. According to sources, Giga Berlin is presently producing 350 automobiles a week. By the end of this month and by the end of the year, Electrek (citing local media) expects to expand production to roughly 1,000 electric cars per week and 10,000 per week, respectively.
It is still necessary for the Berlin plant to purchase particular Chinese-made components and batteries. Consequently, Berlin’s role in the closure of the Tesla Shanghai facility and the logistical issues in greater Shanghai is unknown. ‘
A more accurate Tesla 2022 delivery prediction will pique the curiosity of investors. As a result, additional information about the Cybertruck or other prospective items will be sought out by investors. Tesla Austin’s “Cyber Rodeo,” held on April 7, was where Musk announced that production of the Cybertruck will begin next year.
