Tesla’s Wild Surge: Record Sales, “Affordable” Models & Musk’s $1 Trillion Bet – 10 Key Facts for TSLA Investors

Tesla’s stock has been on a tear in 2025, vastly outperforming the broader market. At around $445 per share today, TSLA sits near its highest levels of the past yearts2.tech. The stock has doubled in value from a year agots2.tech, leaving the S&P 500’s ~17% yearly gain in the dust. Optimism around Tesla’s growth in electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and clean energy has fueled the rally, propelling the company’s market capitalization to roughly $1.4–$1.5 trillion – one of the world’s largest. By comparison, that valuation eclipses many legacy auto giants combined, and prices Tesla around 250× its forward earningsts2.tech, an exceptionally rich multiple. Bulls argue Tesla deserves it, given rapid sales growth and tech ambitions, while skeptics note that a lot of good news may already be “priced in.” Recent weeks have showcased Tesla’s signature volatility.

SpaceX’s $400 Billion Moonshot: How to Invest in Elon Musk’s Rocket Empire in 2025

SpaceX is not publicly traded. In 2025, individual investors cannot buy SpaceX stock on any stock exchange – the company remains private and majority-owned by Elon Musk and early backers get.ycharts.com. Unlike Tesla, which went public in 2010, SpaceX has stayed closely held. Musk has long argued that remaining private allows SpaceX to focus on audacious long-term goals without the short-term pressures of quarterly earnings and public market scrutiny investopedia.com. As he put it, taking SpaceX public too soon could “change its fundamental mission to Mars into a mission for profits,” so he prefers to delay an IPO investopedia.com. SpaceX’s President Gwynne Shotwell has even quipped that SpaceX won’t go public until they’re “regularly flying to Mars”, underscoring the leadership’s stance investopedia.com. For everyday investors, this means no direct way to own a piece of SpaceX. The only people who hold actual SpaceX shares are insiders or wealthy private investors who participated in private funding rounds. SpaceX does occasionally facilitate secondary sales – essentially allowing existing shareholders to sell some of their private stock to other pre-approved investors – but these deals are typically limited to large institutions or accredited investors and are not accessible to the general public reuters.com.

In June, Milan Kovac – the senior VP heading the Optimus program – left the company, leaving the project reportedly “in disarray” electrek.co.

Gross margin fell to 32% because of contract service and purchase accounting costs. AeroVironment's outlook for 2027 revenue is $2.125 billion to $2.225 billion - about 10% growth - but that's below Wall Street's EPS view of $3.84. The stock is moving from the Russell 2000 to Russell 1000 Value and Midcap Value, after a market cap increase.
