Tesla stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Tesla stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Tesla's P/E ratio

  Tesla's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 348x.

  That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

• Tesla's PEG ratio

  Tesla's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio comes out to about 4.4866.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Tesla's expected earnings growth.

• Tesla's EBITDA

  Tesla's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $10.8 billion.

Has Tesla stock ever split?

Tesla's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on August 24, 2022. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Tesla stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 200% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Tesla stocks, which in turn could have impacted Tesla's stock price.

How volatile is Tesla stock?

Over the last 12 months, Tesla's stocks price has ranged from $297.38 to as high as $498.83. Tesla's beta measurement of stock volatility is 1.85. For comparison, the market (NASDAQ) average beta is 1. This would suggest that Tesla's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Tesla's beta stock volatility rating.
