Buying stocks in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments, otherwise known as a diversified portfolio. Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by potential rises elsewhere.
This means that it’s generally a good idea to invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or index funds like the S&P 500 to gain quick exposure to a variety of companies and industries. Tesla is a major part of the NASDAQ index, so it’s included in many global funds and investment trusts like the S&P 500, as well as ETFs.
Valuing Tesla stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Tesla's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

TTM: trailing 12 months
We're not expecting Tesla to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Tesla's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 25 August 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tesla shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Tesla shares which in turn could have impacted Tesla's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Tesla's shares have ranged in value from as little as $101.81 up to $314.6667. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Tesla's is 2.0028. This would suggest that Tesla's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
