Notably, BYD outsold Tesla in Chinese EV sales by 29% in the first half of this year.Tesla Has a New Class-Action LawsuitTSLA stock is making headlines due to a fresh class-action lawsuit related to range accuracy.The lawsuit accuses Tesla of exaggerating its EVs’ range in marketing and using a diversion team to avoid addressing customer complaints about range.The legal action, represented by Milberg Coleman Bryson Phillips Grossman, involves three plaintiffs alleging Tesla didn’t address their legitimate range concerns.Although a class-action lawsuit poses some concern for Tesla stock, its impact remains minimal for now. Shares have experienced only a slight dip on Thursday.However, the lawsuit’s outcome might become a negative trigger, influencing stock performance. Investors in TSLA stock need to monitor the legal proceedings for potential long-term implications.Tesla Stock DowngradesWhile I generally support long-term investment in Tesla, current valuation worries advise against immediate stock entry.UBS analyst Patrick Hummel, like me, recognizes Tesla’s merits but recently shifted his rating from “buy” to “hold.” It appears his primary concern is the stock’s overvaluation.Tesla leads globally in electric and autonomous mobility, though the upcoming year suggests a balanced risk/reward scenario, as noted by Hummel.Like him, I appreciate Tesla’s strides in affordable EVs, but I also find the risk-to-reward balance for Tesla stock more “balanced” than enticingly “attractive.” This sentiment is highlighted by Tesla’s high non-GAAP trailing 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 65.01x, notably surpassing the sector’s median of 13.17x.TSLA Valuation is Not AttractiveTesla has thrived by expanding manufacturing and capitalizing on low commodity costs and vehicle pricing power for improved margins.However, this advantageous situation is shifting. Tesla lowered prices by 10% in China, a major market. With intense competition investing heavily in the EV sector, ongoing pricing pressure could hamper Tesla’s future profit margins if selling prices are forced down.Numerous concerns cast shadows over Tesla’s outlook, but the primary deterrent for investors is its high valuation, particularly compared to industry peers.The stock’s trailing P/E ratio of nearly 50 contrasts starkly with the norm of around 10 for automotive companies, considering intense competition, substantial capital requirements, and commodity price volatility.Purchasing Tesla shares at present incorporates a presumed fivefold earnings growth, even considering possible margin decline because of earlier reasons.While Tesla might exceed these projections, less risky opportunities likely exist for investors, especially amid the current bear market.
