Mon Jan 20 23:30:00 IST 2025: ## Tesla’s Q4 Earnings Anticipated, Analysts Predict Slowdown in Growth
**New York, NY – January 25, 2025** – Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is gearing up to report its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings on January 29th. Analysts predict a slight dip in earnings per share (EPS) to $0.68, compared to $0.71 in Q4 2023, while revenue is projected to reach $27.02 billion, a modest increase from $25.17 billion the previous year.
Despite missing Q3 2024 revenue expectations ($25.18 billion vs. $25.37 billion consensus), Tesla reported strong year-over-year growth of 8%. Automotive revenue reached $20 billion, driven by increased vehicle deliveries and energy generation, offset by lower average selling prices. The company maintains its projection for slight growth in vehicle deliveries in 2024 and anticipates the launch of more affordable models in the first half of 2025. The Tesla Semi factory remains on schedule to begin production by the end of 2025.
While a $10,000 investment in Tesla stock a decade ago would have yielded a remarkable 2,828.34% return (compared to the S&P 500’s 226.20%), analysts currently hold a “Neutral” consensus rating on Tesla, with a price target of $293.23 – representing a potential 25% downside from the current share price. This potential downturn may deter some growth-focused investors.
