Tesla Shares Drop 8.2% on Q2 Results, EPS Forecast Cut
Tesla shares experienced a significant drop of 8.2% following the release of its Q2 2025 results, primarily due to narrowing profit margins and weak signals for future growth. Despite this setback, the company's stock has surged by 78.6% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming both the S&P 500 and the XLY index.
Looking at the financial outlook, analysts have forecasted a substantial decrease in Tesla's earnings per share (EPS) for fiscal 2025. They predict EPS to be $1.20, marking a 41.2% decline from fiscal 2024. However, a significant rebound is anticipated for fiscal 2026, with EPS projected to surge by 67.5% year-over-year to $2.01.
As of now, Tesla shares are trading above the average analyst price target of $332.03. The company, valued at a market cap of $1.4 trillion, operates in the electric vehicles and clean energy solutions sector, maintaining a dominant market share in the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market. Despite a cautious consensus view among analysts, with an overall 'Hold' rating, 14 analysts have recently given a 'Strong Buy' recommendation for Tesla stock.
Tesla's recent stock performance reflects the challenges and opportunities the company faces in the dynamic EV market. While the company grapples with narrowing margins and weak forward signals, analysts remain optimistic about its long-term prospects, as indicated by the projected EPS surge in fiscal 2026.
