Tesla is set to release its fourth-quarter earnings report, and investors are bracing for potential volatility in the company’s share price.

As we approach the earnings announcement, let’s delve into what to expect from Tesla’s upcoming financial results and explore some trading strategies to navigate this announcement.

When Will Tesla Report Q4 Results?

Tesla is scheduled to unveil its fourth-quarter results on Thursday, January 25th, at 8 am (AEDT), after the close of the market.

There’s no doubt it will have a significant impact on Tesla’s stock performance.

Analysing Tesla’s Q3 Performance

Tesla’s previous quarter, Q3, was marked by disappointment as the company missed both earnings and revenue expectations.

Additionally, concerns were raised about the potential of the Cybertruck to generate substantial short-term positive cash flow.

These factors contributed to a challenging quarter for the electric vehicle manufacturer.

Breaking Down Tesla’s Q4 Production and Deliveries

Despite the challenges faced in the previous quarter, Tesla achieved record-breaking numbers in Q4 2023.

The company reported over 484,000 deliveries and nearly 495,000 vehicles produced. In total, Tesla produced 1.846 million vehicles and delivered just under 1.81 million units.

While these figures exceeded the 2022 totals of 1.37 million and were in line with the October guidance of 1.8 million, they fell short of Tesla’s earlier 2023 goal of two million vehicles.

Breaking down the numbers further, approximately 477,000 Model 3/Y vehicles were produced, with over 461,000 delivered. The “Other Models” category accounted for 18,200 vehicles (3.8% of the total) produced and 23,000 delivered.

Tesla’s Eventful Quarter

The fourth quarter of 2023 saw Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD surpass Tesla as the world’s largest producer of electric vehicles, primarily due to its lower-priced models.

However, Elon Musk argued that Tesla should not be directly compared to traditional car manufacturers, stating that Tesla is “an AI/robotics company that appears to many to be a car company.”

As Tesla prepares to unveil its Q4 results, investors and traders will closely monitor the company’s financial performance and the impact of various factors on its share price.

With the potential for market volatility, devising well-thought-out trading strategies will be essential to navigate this critical event in Tesla’s journey.

Alphabet has launched a record $20 billion bond offering to finance its massive AI infrastructure build-out, signalling strong investor confidence in the company’s growth strategy. The oversubscribed sale shows that investors are betting on Alphabet’s AI potential and long-term returns.

By using debt instead of equity, Alphabet can raise funds without diluting shareholders. The money will support AI research, advanced computing, and other strategic projects, cementing the company’s leadership in the sector.

Major financial firms’ stocks fell sharply after an AI tax tool launch, raising investor fears of disruption in advisory services.

Shares of major financial services firms tumbled after the launch of a new AI-powered tax planning tool. LPL Financial dropped nearly 11%, while Charles Schwab and Raymond James Financial fell more than 9%, signalling investor concern over AI disrupting traditional advisory services.

Morgan Stanley also saw a 4% decline as fears grow that AI could replace some of the most profitable offerings of established firms. Earlier this year, the introduction of other AI models already caused turbulence in software stocks, suggesting this could be a broader trend affecting multiple sectors.

The iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers and Securities ETF was down 4% on Tuesday, reflecting the market-wide uncertainty surrounding AI adoption in finance. Investors are closely watching whether AI will complement or cannibalise the industry’s core services.
