Tesla (TSLA, Financial) has seen a mix of gains and challenges over the past year.

The stock's Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is at 176.74, and it trades at 13.88 times its book value. The stock is currently valued at 10.8 times expected sales.
In 2024, the company reported a slight increase in vehicle deliveries, reaching 495,570 compared to 484,507 the previous year. However, 2024 marked the first year of decreased total deliveries. Weak sales in European markets and increased competition from Chinese manufacturers were contributing factors to the decrease. The Q1 2025 report revealed a 13% year-over-year drop in deliveries, totaling 336,681 vehicles.
Despite these declines, the launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, in late June, and a recent Q2 report exceeding some analysts' expectations, show potential for future growth. The company produced 410,244 vehicles and delivered 384,122 in early Q2, representing a 14% decline year-over-year but still surpassing some forecasts, offering support for stock gains.
From a valuation standpoint, Tesla's stock is considered to be significantly overvalued according to its GF Value, which currently estimates the stock's worth at around $242.83. Despite this, Tesla's strong market presence and new ventures keep investor optimism alive. The company's GF Score of 89 reflects a strong balance sheet and growth potential, although challenges remain in its financial metrics. Tesla's Altman Z-score of 14.04 signifies strong financial strength and a low likelihood of financial distress, while insider purchases over the past three months indicate confidence within the company's executive ranks.
While Tesla (TSLA, Financial) faces challenges such as slowed revenue growth and issuing new debt, the company shows resilience and potential. Investors remain hopeful about Tesla's ambitious projects, including expansion into more affordable vehicles and new energy ventures. The stock's recent performance and future outlook suggest that despite short-term volatility, Tesla remains a formidable player in the automotive industry.
