Finder may not concur with these signals and accepts no responsibility for the performance of your stocks.
Can I buy Tesla stock on the TSX?

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.
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 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 66.7% lower 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 $214.25 to as high as $488.54. Tesla's beta measurement of stock volatility is 1.87. For comparison, the market () 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.
