Tesla is a global electric car maker and clean energy company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2003, Tesla designs and produces electric vehicles and energy generation and storage products, including solar panels and at-home charging stations. Its network of 45,000+ Superchargers is the largest network of fast-chargers in the US.
Co-founded and led by billionaire Elon Musk, Tesla is currently the most valuable car brand worldwide. In addition to its lineup of sedans and SUVs, Tesla's future vehicle models include the Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla's version of a pickup truck, and its upcoming fully electric semi truck, dubbed Tesla Semi. Tesla (TSLA) stock launched on the NASDAQ in 2010 and its share price has since experienced massive growth.
July 8, 2025: Tesla's shares shrunk by 8% after Musk declared the formation of a new US political party, the "America Party". This reignites concerns from investors about Musk's focus on Tesla while sales continue to decrease.
June 24, 2025: Tesla's stock pops by 10% after Musk launched his Model Y robotaxi in Austin and Texas over this weekend.
June 18, 2025: Tesla shares fell nearly 4% after temporary production halt announced on the Cybertruck and Model Y models . This is scheduled for the week beginning June 30th. Tesla stock has declined about 22% this year.
June 6, 2025: Tesla shares could rebound if the fallout gets settled at the meeting that Trump and Musk plan to hold this Friday and they both come to 'amicable' terms.
June 5, 2025: The Trump-Musk bromance has hit a rocky patch, and the very public tit-for-tat has seen Tesla's share price sink 14% today (though it remains up year-on-year). It's somewhat of a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" for Elon, whose close ties to Trump were previously alienating many would-be Tesla customers.

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.
Tesla's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 178x. In other words, Tesla shares trade at around 178x recent earnings.
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 shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Tesla's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.4829. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Tesla's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Tesla's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $12.5 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Tesla's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Tesla.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 27.59
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Tesla's overall score of 27.59 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 61st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Tesla is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 1.25/100
Tesla's environmental score of 1.25 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 17.81/100
Tesla's social score of 17.81 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 10.53/100
Tesla's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Tesla is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Tesla scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Tesla hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Tesla Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

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 24 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 $182 up to $488.5399. 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 2.461. This would suggest that Tesla's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
