$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ beat EPS expectations at $0.41 vs $0.37 and made $22.38B.
Here's why it SPIKED then crashed...🚩
The single largest driver of the profitability improvement was "one-time benefits related to warranty and tariffs" not cost cuts, not volume growth, not FSD revenue.
This is not good.
Tesla built over 50,000 more vehicles than it sold, signaling significant inventory buildup.
You don't want cars sitting on lots.
Remember, net income was only $477M on $22.4B in revenue a 2.1% net margin while the company trades at over 150x GAAP earnings.
Energy storage revenue fell 12% YoY sec, which was supposed to be Tesla's fastest-growing segment.
So pay attention, the quality of the beat is questionable it was built on one-time items, not organic business acceleration.
