Based on Wall Street’s forecast of 35% long-term earnings growth, Black calculated that this translates to PEG ratios of 6.3 times and 4.4 times, respectively. The PEG ratio compares a company’s valuation with its expected growth.\nBy comparison, the average “Mag 8” stock, excluding Tesla, trades at a PEG ratio of 2.7 times, he said.

The PEG ratio compares a company’s valuation with its expected growth.\nBy comparison, the average “Mag 8” stock, excluding Tesla, trades at a PEG ratio of 2.7 times, he said. This suggests that Tesla’s premium is unusually high compared with its peers. That gap, Black noted, helps explain Tesla’s underperformance versus the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 this year and over the past one, three and five years.\nThree Questions That Will Decide Tesla’s Stock\nWhether Tesla can outperform after lagging major indexes depends on three factors, Black said, how quickly Robotaxi scales into meaningful earnings, whether rivals commoditize autonomy as happened in EVs from 2021-2023, and Robotaxi’s safety profile as it expands beyond geofenced Austin to other U.S. cities, Europe and Asia.\nIn the same post, Black said he’d rather see those three questions answered than face criticism from Tesla bulls. “Let’s move the discussion forward,” he said.\nEarlier, after CEO Elon Musk touted the Cybercab’s rare-earth-free motor as a major engineering feat, calling it “extremely hard to achieve,” Black said key deployment details, including planned vehicle numbers, went unanswered at the event.\nThe safety concerns Black raised are already being put to the test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an audit inquiry into Tesla’s certification that the Cybercab meets federal safety standards, citing the vehicle’s lack of a steering wheel, pedals and mirrors.\nTrading Metrics\nTesla has a market capitalization of $1.39 trillion, a 52-week high of $498.83 and a 52-week low of $297.38.\nThe large-cap automotive stock is down 21.27% year-to-date.\nBenzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Tesla stock is showing short-term gains, while its medium- and long-term trends remain negative.\n\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\n\n\n\nRead Also:\n\nAI Adoption Spreads Beyond Tech as Finance, Manufacturing Businesses Race to Catch Up\n\n\n\nPhoto courtesy: Rokas Tenys on Shutterstock.com","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"TSLA":1.97,"07766":0.6,"WANT":0.6,"TSLT":0.6,"09366":0.6,"TSII":0.6,"TEST":0.6,"ELOL":0.6,"FDRV":0.6,"STSLAmain":0.6,"TSLW":0.6,"TESL":0.6,"LIT":0.6,"TSLL":0.6,"WATS":0.6,"CRSH":0.6,"TSLS":0.6,"SMOG":0.6,"TSLY":0.6,"TSYY":0.6,"TSDD":0.6,"TSLO":0.6,"TESC":0.6,"07366":0.6,"TSLQ":0.6,"TSLG":0.6,"TSLZ":0.6,"TSLR":0.6,"TLA":0.6,"TSLP":0.6,"TSLI":0.6,"TSL":0.6,"09766":0.6,"IDRV":0.6}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"posts","isTTM":true}
