Part 5/9:
Looking ahead, the consensus estimates position Tesla to report earnings of approximately $0.53 per share on revenue nearing $26.5 billion. Swan described the firm's overall earnings outlook as moderately bullish, with a "plus 30" earnings score—an unexpectedly optimistic stance given Tesla’s recent stock run-up and proximity to 52-week highs (around $488 per share).
Despite the stock’s elevated level, Swan pointed out Tesla’s tendency for rapid, substantial moves driven by high short interest, gamma squeezes, and options market dynamics. This creates the potential for "enormous runs" should earnings and outlooks meet or exceed expectations. Conversely, the stock remains vulnerable to downside risk, especially if leadership changes or promised innovations are delayed.
