00:01Hello, I'm MINGTOUJUN, your stock explorer
00:02Recently, Tesla's stock price has been surprisingly calm
00:04Many investors have also relaxed their alertness
00:05However, such a stock is often the most seductive to investors
00:10Whether it's a big rise or a big fall, it's often a bad time for us
00:16Recently, I realized that Tesla is starting to make big moves again
00:20This is likely to bring a next wave of stock market shocks, and many of us ordinary investors have not yet realized it
00:24So I think it's necessary to do a detailed analysis with you
00:28In fact, this video is a recording I released on my MetaPro a while ago
00:33On MetaPro, I fully analyze each stock and implement basic strategies to track each stock
00:36Tesla is..
00:39One of the most important companies
00:42This video is actually my latest financial analysis of Tesla
00:50Because it is so important, I decided to share it with all of you
00:58I believe that after watching this video, you will be able to see when to seize the opportunity and when to respond to the risk
01:03Let's quickly summarize the important data from this financial report
01:08This quarter, Tesla's revenue reached $28.1 billion, which increased by 12% year-over-year, and the net profit increased by 24% year-over-year, which is obviously higher than the market expectation of $27.3 billion
01:14The income is strong because vehicle sales are very good, and the energy business continues to perform strongly
01:19Separately, the car sales this quarter..
01:25Tesla achieved a revenue of $21.2 billion, which increased by 6% compared to the same year, and a 27% increase overall, higher than the market expectation of $209 billion
01:30In terms of deliveries, the company delivered a total of 49.7 million cars over three quarters, creating a new record and exceeding the market forecast of 43.9 million
01:39The reason why the sales figures far exceeded expectations boils down to two main factors
01:43The first is that the Model YL in the Chinese market has brought new momentum
01:50This six-seat domestic version of the Model Y has been very popular since early September and has maintained a supply-demand balance until mid-October, with Chinese market orders still strong
01:53The demand has been lined up until December
01:56The demand is still rising
02:00The second is the tax exemption from the U.S
02:03Department of State's bill, which extends to the end of the third quarter
02:07This caused a wave of shopping trends and increased sales in the third quarter
02:11However, part of the sales revenue was actually revealed when the delivery data was announced at the beginning of the month
02:15So, there has been limited price push after the financial report
02:20What the market is more concerned about is the interest rate
02:24In this quarter, Tesla's interest rate on sales is 14.7%, slightly higher than last quarter's 14.1%
02:29If we exclude the impact of carbon footprint considerations, the net profit in the car industry rose from 15% in the previous quarter to 15.4%, which is consistent
02:33With the market expectations, Tesla maintains a two-week upward trend
02:36The net profit is an important indicator for analyzing Tesla's fundamental aspects
02:38I will do a detailed analysis later
02:41In addition to selling cars, energy businesses also performed brilliantly
02:45In the third quarter, the energy business revenue was $34.2 billion, which increased by 44%
02:50There was also a 22% increase compared to the previous quarter
02:54The net profit also increased by 1% compared to the previous quarter, continuing to be a strong driver
02:58In addition, this financial report must mention the cash flow
03:03This quarter, Tesla's cash flow hit a record $4 billion, far above the market expectation of $1.5 billion
03:06Higher cash flows are of great significance
03:09Significance to Tesla: because Tesla is spending a lot on AI investment, and there are rumors that it will be acquired
03:12So, the steady cash flow will drive the market's confidence
03:16In addition to the strong sales business behind it, it also successfully cleared about $2 billion of inventory from the company, releasing a large amount of cash
03:25The performance of the income sector is indeed very good, but the performance of the profit sector is not so bright
03:30This quarter, the company's non-GAAP profit was $17.7 billion, which is a significant 29% decline, and $19 billion less than the market expected
03:34The problem here lies with the costs
03:39However, this increase in costs is used for necessary investments in AI or other strategic areas
03:43Some one-time expenses, so the market does not care too much
03:47Overall, Tesla has strong income and cash flow this quarter, plus the trend of return on assets continued
03:53It can be said that the basic face of the financial report is quite good
03:57The only problem is that the profit is poor
04:02This part itself did not cause too much impact on the stock price within the expected time
04:06Later, we will do a more detailed analysis of the profits
04:09But these data reflect the past
04:12As investors, we need to pay more attention to the future situation
04:15This is the key to deciding its stock price trend
04:19For the stock price logic of Tesla, we have always emphasized the dual-line thinking
04:22The basic face is one line, the technology trend is another
04:25Another line
04:28In the current situation, the technological trend is the primary factor, while the fundamental aspect is secondary
04:31The two factors jointly determine Tesla's stock price
04:34Therefore, to understand Tesla's future stock price trend, we must clearly see the development logic of both factors moving forward
04:37Let's look at the first factor first
04:41The fundamental aspect presents a negative risk, but it is the basis of Tesla's stock price
04:46Let's analyze it quickly
04:51The most fundamental part of the fundamental aspect is undoubtedly the car sales business
04:57The biggest variable here is the expiration of tax benefits, especially in US legislation, where the electric vehicle subsidy of $7,500 has been reduced, leading to a decrease in Tesla's vehicle prices
05:03Significantly
05:09More importantly, the strong sales in the third quarter actually carried over to a certain extent into the fourth quarter and even into early 2026 because many consumers who planned to order late in advance completed their purchases in the third quarter
05:15In other words, the good results of the third quarter may have released some demand early
05:19The market was expecting sales to stabilize with new, cheaper models in the fourth quarter
05:24However, in early October, Tesla launched two new models, which were actually just a low-end Model 3 and Model Y
05:29Their prices are only about $5,000 cheaper than the standard versions, but the configurations are significantly reduced
05:33The market was expecting a real shipment of 2.5 million units
05:38USD Model 2, but it was a USD 3.7 million version
05:42The difference between the two is too big, and it's hard to stimulate sales
05:47So, on the day of the new car release, the stock price fell by more than 5%
05:51And from the current situation, the market has been rumored to be in the fourth quarter
05:55The affordable Model 2 should be impossible to launch
06:00One side is the end of the tax break, and demand had already been announced in advance for the third quarter
06:04The other side is the fall of the affordable version of Model 2
06:08So, it looks like the car sales performance will not be very good from the next quarter onwards
06:12The current market forecast is that sales will be about 430,000 units in the fourth quarter
06:16It's already a lot lower than in the previous three weeks
06:19500,000
06:21But in my opinion, this number may further lower the price
06:24In addition to sales, the market is more concerned about the progress of interest rates
06:27What about this part of the future? The biggest factor affecting interest rates is sales itself because Tesla's cost of building a car is not small
06:32The easiest way to increase the interest rate is to increase the volume and flatten the expenses
06:41Just like this quarter, the increase in interest rates has a significant relationship with the rise in the amount of money paid
06:46So, on the other hand, we know that in the future, sales will likely fall significantly, which will greatly affect interest rates
06:51Secondly, the tax impact is still ongoing
06:55Although..
07:00Tariffs have always been there, but in this financial report, it was mentioned that the tax impact has a certain delay
07:03This is related to the sales and settlement impact on the accounting
07:05It is expected that this impact will be fully realized in the next quarter
07:08In addition, the U.S
07:11raw material market may also face new tariffs
07:14The new steel and aluminum tariffs in August have covered the steel and metals used in electric vehicles and motor vehicles
07:16Tesla is not excluded from the tariff list
07:20How much impact the specific tariffs will bring is still uncertain, but it is obviously a negative factor
07:24Fortunately, the new model will help slow down the pressure from the increase in horsepower
07:29Although the price of the new..
07:33The model is lower, but after all, there is less material, plus production and the use of the original oil production line
07:37There is no so-called production capacity climb, so this should be very low in terms of negative impact on horsepower
07:41For other models, including Model Y Long Range, etc., there is no such pressure as production capacity climb
07:44Compared to the past few seasons, which more or less had the burden of production capacity expansion for new models, in the foreseeable future, this part of the pressure is not present
07:52This will provide some support to the company's horsepower
07:56Overall, I think Tesla's future interest rate outlook is relatively mixed, but the overall situation remains somewhat negative
08:01At least, similar to the past two seasons, the possibility..
08:06The rising interest rate is not great, but it is estimated that it will not fall sharply
08:10It is more likely to remain at the current level, which is not ideal, but it is not too detrimental
08:15So overall, whether it is sales or interest rates, I expect Tesla's sales and business fundamentals will remain weak in the future
08:24After analyzing the basics, the highlight is coming: how will Tesla's technological trends develop? This is actually the key to leading the future of Tesla's stock
08:29Let's take a look at the past three quarters
08:34In general, Tesla's technological trend is still advancing according to plan
08:39Robotaxi continues to expand its operating area after launch in Dezhou and Austin
08:42The team has also expanded from there
08:46Originally 20 units to hundreds of units
08:49The range has been extended to California Bay, Nevada, and Arizona, and so on
08:52But now, the cars are all equipped with security features
08:55The FSD v14 version, which has been noticed by many, was also released in early October
08:59However, the overall feedback is generally not as good as expected
09:04In addition, the company has not made many other updates
09:09Therefore, from a technological perspective, the three-season technology lineup is stable but has no highlights, and the overall performance is weak
09:14 What new progress have we seen after this financial report? This time, I will discuss FSD, Robotaxi, and robots in three parts
09:19First, FSD
09:22FSD's cumulative distance has already exceeded 61 miles
09:25This data disclosure
09:27It is a rational formula
09:30When everyone thought that this financial report would end like this, the management team actually broke the sky and announced the first FSD subscription rate during the phone conference
09:37It is currently 12%
09:43I have to say that when I first saw this data, I was still surprised because this number is really not good, although there was no clear market expectation
09:50But from my past research, the market generally believes that this subscription rate could be more than 15%
09:54Then the management announced this data—wasn't it a slap in the face? But then I thought, the management team hasn't released this data for so many years
10:04This time, the financial report suddenly came out; there must be a reason for it
10:07It
10:10What could it be? My guess is that the management team is full of confidence in the subsequent increase in subscription rates
10:12So I want everyone to see its improvement and support their AI story
10:17My guess is not a pure guess, because FSD is indeed promising in the next few seasons
10:19Huge changes will happen
10:22First, the maturity of the product is already stable after V14
10:25Although there are still a lot of complaints on the internet, from my own experience, there is indeed improvement
10:34The frequency of control is also decreasing, and the current optimization is already focused on the details of driving experience and scene coverage
10:38If you look at it according to this technical rhythm, the FSD V15 launched in the..
10:42The second half of next year is very close to the level of fully autonomous driving
10:47This is likely to bring a real technical upgrade
10:51In addition, Tesla is actively communicating with regulatory agencies in China and Europe regarding regional expansion
10:56This area has actually been relatively underdeveloped in the 25 years of Tesla's growth, but I believe management has done a lot of work behind the scenes
11:04If we see these two markets adopt more smoothly in 2026, then the global subscription rate and revenue scale of Full Self-Driving (FSD) will lead to a new round of growth
11:12Considering these two factors, the subsequent subscription rate of FSD is likely to steadily improve
11:17So I guess the management team chose to disclose this data at this time
11:20As investors, we can also look forward to it
11:23Let's look at Robotaxi
11:26Currently, Austin's operating range has been three times larger than when it was on the high line
11:31The total number of unmanned flight routes is more than 250,000 miles
11:35The test routes for the drivers who need to participate in the bend have also exceeded 1 million miles
11:39At the press conference, Musk said that the plan was to get Austin out of the safe zone by the end of this year and to make it completely unmanned
11:48In addition, Robotaxi will expand to 8-10 areas by the end of the year, but did not give more details
11:52It's not surprising that they didn't provide details, because the expansion of the area depends on the supervision of the authorities
11:58and not on Tesla alone
12:03Now, according to the operations in the past few months and the progress of this press release, it can be clearly seen that the company's primary goal in the Robotaxi strategy is not growth, but risk control
12:08To put it bluntly, there is no big problem; this is the part that Tesla can control by itself
12:16So, in terms of the size and efficiency of the fleet, Tesla's progress is not extreme—it's even a little too conservative
12:20But think about it, it's understandable because the most important thing for Robotaxi at the moment is to run through the commercial mode first, make sure there are no problems from 0 to 1
12:28So, it has to be safe
12:31As long as this mode is successfully verified and it is clear how to do it, then the..
12:35Next 1 to 100, which is the part of the scale
12:40It's just a matter of time
12:44According to many media reports, the company's current internal goal is to build about 1,000 test drive teams by the end of 2025
12:48It is expected to make significant contributions to financial statements by the second half of 2026
12:53I think this internal goal is quite credible because the strategic development direction of the existing Robotaxi is already moving in this direction, and the CyberCab model that is compatible with Robotaxi is also expected to be mass-produced in the second quarter of next year
13:05If CyberCab's goal is to mass-produce in the second quarter of next year, it must be a good preparation for the scale of Robotaxi
13:09Otherwise, it It would be meaningless to produce a car without a steering wheel and a platform
13:13So, I think that in 2026, it is very likely to become a key turning point for Robotaxi's commercialization
13:20Speaking of which, I don't know if you have noticed that the pace of FSD (Full Self-Driving) and Robotaxi's technological development is very similar
13:26This is because Robotaxi's operation is based on FSD technology, so Robotaxi's commercialization progress should be similar to FSD's technical progress
13:35And in the second half of the year, especially in the latter half, these two technological developments will likely lead to major breakthroughs
13:40According to the current progress, the certainty of this technology or commercial application..
13:45Breakthrough is quite high
13:50As for what this means for investors, I will read it out at the end of the video
13:55Let's first look at another important technological narrative, the humanoid robot, Optimus
14:00In fact, at this Financial Times conference, management spent the most time not on Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Robotaxi, but on the humanoid robot
14:05What's different is that the robot is no longer just a concept, but has the first real mass production plan
14:10Musk said at the meeting that he expects to show the new version of the Optimus V3 in the first quarter of next year and start preparing for mass production
14:20The company's goal is to build a production line with a capacity of one million units next year and officially start production
14:24End of 2026
14:29But it is not easy to really produce one million units a year
14:33Musk repeatedly emphasized the difficulty of mass production, especially the complexity of the zero-bridge first structure and the new supply chain system, etc
14:37According to my understanding of Musk, he should be saying this to deliberately suppress market expectations
14:45After all, the original plan for mass production was supposed to start at the end of this year, but it has now been delayed to the first quarter of next year
14:48From past experience, I guess it is very likely to be delayed again
14:52But then again, the difference between the first and second quarters is not that big
14:56The important thing is that the robot is really in the making stage, which is worth noting
15:03Looking forward to it
15:09And there is a detail: two days before the financial report was released, Tesla's official website suddenly posted hundreds of job openings related to humanoid robots, including positions for production line manufacturing engineers, supply chain management, and others
15:16This basically confirms that Optimus' mass production countdown has officially begun
15:20Personally, I think that if Optimus really enters mass production next year, then Wall Street will likely start to incorporate this business into its valuation models
15:25This is definitely a positive factor for the stock price
15:29But let's not have too high expectations for now
15:34Just like this year's Robotaxi, although it has been put..
15:38Into the valuation framework by mainstream investors, the real pull of the stock price is still limited
15:42After all, it has early financial contributions, and Optimus is the same
15:46The potential is indeed great, but it takes a long time to achieve profitability from mass production
15:50In general, after analyzing Tesla's three major storylines, we find that the main technological trend is very promising for 2026
15:55It is expected that FSD will bring breakthroughs in technology and business, and Robotaxi will achieve real progress in large-scale commercialization
16:04In the past, robots that Wall Street did not pay much attention to have finally entered the mass production stage
16:09What does all this mean? For Tesla? Before giving the final stock prediction, we must review the Tesla stock market four-way logic we have always emphasized
16:19This is an important basis for us to judge the trend of the Tesla stock market
16:23We said that there are two lines that affect the Tesla stock market: the main line is the technology trend, and the secondary line is the fundamentals
16:28We can draw a four-way analysis of the Tesla stock market
16:34As the saying goes, when the main line of the technology trend is strong and the fundamentals are good, the stock price will rise
16:39When the fundamentals are bad, it does not necessarily affect the stock price
16:43When the main line of technology is in a downward trend, the price will react accordingly—if the fundamentals are good, the price might stabilize or fall slightly, but if the fundamentals are bad, the price will decline more sharply
16:52In other words, the technological trend has raised Tesla's stubborn ceiling, determining whether the stock price can rise
16:56The fundamental aspect mainly depends on Tesla's profitability ability, which decides whether the price will fall
17:01You want to grasp Tesla's price performance in the current market
17:04This private sector is a perfect basis for judgment
17:07Okay, after understanding this logic, let's talk about the current four-level outlook
17:10From the previous analysis, we can see that the biggest problem in the fourth quarter is that the situation of the negative line will not perform well
17:13This is very certain
17:17And from the perspective of the main line of the technological trend, important breakthroughs will occur in 2026
17:21And it's mainly the The second half of 2026
17:24There is not much progress in the technology trend that can be seen in the next three months
17:28Therefore, with the combined effect of these two points, it is not difficult to see that Tesla's stock logic is more likely to be at the bottom left of the quadrilateral
17:35But what needs to be further clarified is that although there is little progress in the technology trend, it cannot be considered a strict weak trend
17:43Due to the next quarter, the company will announce its full-year results for 2026, and there will be no clear news in the short term
17:47So, for this quarter, I think the technology trend is more likely to maintain the status quo
17:54And on the stock price, I think the possibility of Tesla's short-term movement is..
17:58The stock price is falling and is lower
18:02The technology trend still has some support, but at the same time, the stock price is relatively weak, and the rise in momentum is also very limited
18:06There are also some special interference factors in the fourth quarter that investors need to pay attention to
18:09The first is the shareholders' meeting in early November
18:12This time, the shareholders' meeting needs to vote on Musk's \$10 billion new project
18:15Although I believe this vote will definitely pass, the fluctuations during the process will still impact the stock price, especially before the vote
18:23It is not excluded that Musk will resign or threaten to withdraw from management
18:25In addition, Tesla has a..
18:28Short-term acquisition plan
18:30XAI
18:33This will inevitably involve financing actions, increase the company's financial pressure, and also bring some disturbance to the stock price
18:35So, it looks like the trend of Tesla's stock price in the fourth quarter is weak
18:39The second factor to note is Musk's "buyback plan." In early September, Musk increased his stock holdings by $1 billion, with a purchase price of about $390
18:50This is his largest increase since the $10 million increase in February 2020
18:53This may become an important support for short-term Tesla stock
18:56The above is an analysis of the short-term stock price
19:00What needs to be noted is that the short-term stock price is not certain
19:03I don't think so either
19:06For those of you who have..
19:09Watched it
19:11It is more important to understand the logic behind the stock price, not my personal judgment
19:13So, once the market changes, you can also understand how to deal with it at the first time
19:17But if we take a longer-term perspective and think about the situation of the whole year of 2026, the uncertainty will be significantly reduced
19:24The logic of the stock price will also become very clear
19:27Regarding the quarterly situation, the overall pressure from the secondary line of the basic components of the car in 2026 is still relatively large
19:31The focus here is on the main technology trend line
19:34It can be said that 2026 will be a year when Tesla makes major breakthroughs in the technology field
19:38It is the year that I have been..
19:44Following Tesla for the past 5-6 years
19:49This includes Robotaxi breaking through from 0 to 1, starting to realize the 1 to 100 scale layout, and in the second half of the year, it will begin to make significant contributions to financial statements
19:55FSD is expected to increase penetration rate, achieve commercial progress in the US market, and see technological breakthroughs in the V15 version
19:59Human-shaped robots are mass-produced and included in the valuation model
20:03These will be the key factors that have a significant impact on the stock price, and they are relatively high certainty
20:07The only problem is that we don't know the specific promotion speed and landing rhythm
20:10Regarding this, we expect that after..
20:14The financial report in January next year, we will have a clear result
20:18At that time, the company will give a full year's guidance for 2026
20:20This will be an important stock price turning point
20:23At that time, I will also make an analysis in Metopro for the first time
20:25It is not difficult to find that the stock price logic of 2026 will be completely changed
20:30Let's look at this square again
20:34Obviously, the basic negative trend of Tesla in early 2026 is still hard to see
20:38But its main technological trend line is very strong and has sufficient certainty
20:42This means that the stock price logic will shift from the bottom left to the top left
20:45The stock price will regain its upward momentum
20:48And once the time..
20:51Continues to go on, the situation will continue to change
20:56I believe if the development of the technology trend persists, then by the second half of 2026, FSD and Robotaxi will have made breakthroughs in the future, and will inevitably bring improvements to the sales business
21:04At that time, it is very likely to reach the most favorable double-edged sword stage for investors
21:08The price logic will shift from the left side of the quadrangle to the right
21:12This is the stage that all Tesla investors can't miss
21:16I think you can see the logic behind the future of Tesla's stock price
21:21I will briefly talk about how I personally deal with the stock market trend
21:26First, we must be clear that the stock price performance is not a A simple formula
21:31So whether it is the timing or the stock price performance, it is impossible to follow strictly
21:34We should pay more attention to this trend
21:37From the above analysis, the short-term Tesla stock price is relatively weak
21:41In 2026, it is likely to achieve the company's most important stock breakthrough since its founding
21:46So the most important thing in the short term is to control the risk, and not be eliminated by market fluctuations
21:53And what's more important in the long term is not to miss the company's real key stock breakthrough
21:57From this perspective, I think the fourth quarter of this year is actually a very rare time window for layout
22:01I personally don't like to try to time the market, so I..
22:05I won't judge the point of the price reversal
22:08Early layout and slow waiting will make me more at ease
