Q3 sales jumped 29% to $2.68 billion, with diluted EPS at $1.02, far above estimates. The company cited booming AI-driven data center demand and announced acquisitions and a new dividend.

  • Tesla Q1 2026 Earnings Beat; Stock Faces Mixed Outlook for 2030
    May 20, 2026, 10:24 AM EDT. Tesla (TSLA) reported Q1 2026 earnings per share (EPS) of $0.41, exceeding the $0.36 consensus, with automotive gross margin rising to 21.1% from 16.2%. Operating income increased 135.8% year-on-year (YoY), and services plus Full Self-Driving (FSD) revenue jumped 42% to $3.75 billion, with 1.28 million active FSD subscriptions up 51%. Despite strong fundamentals, Tesla shares fell 8.83% year-to-date to $409.99 amid skepticism about AI monetization and scaling autonomy. Wall Street's average target is about $412, while a proprietary model estimates a base case price of $510 by 2030, with a bull case of $645. Achieving $650 requires significant price-to-earnings multiple expansion or sharp EPS growth from AI ventures, amid challenges like increased operating expenses and production constraints.
