Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) isn’t just a car company, it’s a movement. Along with its ground-breaking electric vehicles (EVs), it’s also an energy and AI powerhouse. With a charismatic but divisive leader, Elon Musk - Tesla shares remain one of the most volatile but popular stocks.
While its EV market leadership and margins are strong, rising competition from China and valuation concerns keep investors on edge. Long-term believers buying Tesla shares see it as a tech disruptor, and not just an EV stock - but volatility remains high and the path to future growth is unclear.

Our expert says: Is Tesla stock a buy or a sell?
"After a few years of lightning growth, many major investors have sold some (or all) of their positions in Tesla. That’s because the first phase of Tesla is complete. It’s proved itself as a company that can not only make great electric vehicles (EVs) it can also make a profit.
The issue is that the popularity of Tesla shares means that the stock is already pricing in plenty of future growth. But that doesn’t mean the company won’t go on to exceed expectations. Now that Tesla has proven its core business, it’s expanding and moving into other industries like AI, robotics, and autonomous driving. If Tesla continues to see high demand for its EVs and it breaks ground in other areas, there’s no reason why the stock won’t continue to race forward."

Is Tesla under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, let alone a "Magnificent 7" stock, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Tesla P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
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 281x. In other words, Tesla's shares trade at around 281x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). 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 8.1138. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
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 a whopping $10.8 billion (£8.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of Tesla's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
