Tesla shares rose about 4% today, closing near 455 USD, which is roughly a 17 USD gain from the prior close around 438 USD.
What “up ~3–4%” means
• The stock’s latest price is about 455.45 USD, versus a previous close of about 438.07 USD.
• That move of roughly 17.38 USD translates to a gain of about 3.97% on the day, slightly above the 3% move you mentioned.
Trading context today
• Intraday, Tesla traded between about 444.57 USD and 456.55 USD, finishing close to the top of that range, which indicates buyers were in control into the close.
• Volume was roughly 25 million shares, below the average volume of about 80.9 million, so the move came on lighter-than-normal trading activity.
How this fits recent trend
• The current price is modestly above the 50‑day moving average around 445 USD, showing short‑term momentum remains positive.
• It is also well above the 200‑day moving average near 360 USD, so Tesla is still in a longer‑term uptrend despite day‑to‑day volatility.
Valuation backdrop
• At today’s level, Tesla’s market capitalization is about 1.47 trillion USD, reflecting very high growth expectations.
• The stock trades at a price‑to‑earnings ratio near 240, which is rich compared with most large caps and means even modest disappointments in growth or margins can trigger sharp pullbacks.
