Tesla (TSLA) is set to announce its fourth-quarter and full-year 2019 financial results tomorrow, Wednesday, January 29, after the markets close. As usual, a conference call and Q&A with Teslas management is scheduled after the results.<\/p>\n
Here we take a look at what both the street and retail investors are expecting for the quarterly results.<\/p>\n
As usual, Teslas vehicle deliveries drive most of its earning results, since vehicle sales represent the automakers main revenue stream at the moment.<\/p>\n
Tesla already released its Q4 2019 numbers confirming a new record of 112,000 deliveries and the production of 104,891 cars.<\/p>\n
Its the third quarter in a row that Tesla achieved new record deliveries, and its a significant increase over Teslas previous record quarter when Tesla delivered 97,000 cars and produced 96,155 cars.<\/p>\n
Wall Streets revenue consensus for Tesla during the third quarter is $7.047 billion, and Estimize, the financial estimate crowdsourcing website, predicts a slightly higher revenue of $7.158 billion.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, analysts are predicting a large increase over the last quarter when Tesla delivered $6.3 billion in revenue.<\/p>\n
However, they are predicting that revenue is going to be down from Q4 last year due to a reduction in the price per vehicle.<\/p>\n
The predictions for Teslas revenue over the past two years: Estimize predictions in blue, Wall Street consensus in gray, actual results in green:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now for earnings per share, or maybe loss per share, though its not likely this quarter based on the estimates.<\/p>\n
The Wall Street consensus is a gain of $1.62 per share for the quarter, while Estimizes prediction is a slightly bigger gain of $1.79 per share.<\/p>\n
Earnings per share over the last two years: Estimize predictions in blue, Wall Street consensus in gray, actual results in green:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Analysts appear more optimistic about Tesla after they missed their estimates by a big margin last quarter when Tesla surprised everyone with significant earnings.<\/p>\n
Theres going to be a lot of stuff to talk about during the call.<\/p>\n
At the end of last quarter, Elon listed Teslas two most critical priorities for the end of the year: accelerating the rate of solar installations and delivering all vehicles.<\/p>\n
For the most part, Tesla achieved the vehicle deliveries, and well see what they did with the first critical priority.<\/p>\n
We reported yesterday on how Tesla seems to be ramping up solar roof installations.<\/p>\n
Well see what Tesla has to say about the state of its solar business, but I think shareholders and Tesla fans are more interested in two things: Model Y production and Battery and Powertrain Investor Day.<\/p>\n
They want to know when those two are going to happen.<\/p>\n
It should be a compelling call.<\/p>\n
