Recently, the company announced record production and deliveries for the quarter that smashed analyst expectations. However, street estimates for Q3 haven't risen as much as one might expect, which could lead to another blowout earnings report this week.</p>\n<p>For the period, preliminary deliveries of 241,300 beat street estimates by nearly 20,000 units. In Q2 of this year, the average revenue per vehicle delivered (including regulatory credit sales) was just under $50,700. If you basically round off, the math tells you that a beat of that size should equal about an extra billion dollars in revenue. Going into the report, the street was exactly at $13 billion for its Q3 average, but take a look at where we are now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c6077ce9974face1a7cfbeabe2e93e0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"73\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha analyst estimates page</span></p>\n<p>Despite the large deliveries beat, the street average hasn't even risen by $650 million, so the consensus seems to be a bit low right now. Additionally, the \"low\" estimate seems completely off base, as that would represent a decline over Q2's top line figure despite an extra roughly 40,000 deliveries. Don't forget, the sequential jump in Model S cash deliveries was around 6,000 units, which at an average selling price of $100,000 is an additional $600 million in revenue alone. Taking the low estimate out would increase the street average by $100 million. Unless there was some massive discounting going on or some prior period adjustment, any revenue estimates around or below $13 billion just don't seem logical.</p>\n<p>Model Y sales to Europe, more Model S sales (including the expensive Plaid), and a full quarter of price raises in the US should all be tailwinds. The standard range Y in China will provide somewhat of a headwind, along with a slightly stronger dollar in the quarter. However, Tesla may be able to potentially recognize hundreds of millions of dollars in deferred revenue related to its full self-driving feature as that program expanded a bit during the quarter. I also am projecting a $100 million sequential decline in credit sales.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest question in the quarter will be margins. All of those price hikes, the mix of more Model Y and new Model S, and the ramp of production in China should be positives, potentially offsetting some or all supply chain or chip shortage inflation. In my base case, I'm assuming that total automotive gross margins increase by one percentage point, or a little more than half of the 190 basis points they jumped from Q1 to Q2. As I usually do, the table below shows a bear, base, and bull case, with dollar values in millions except per share amounts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f864f8d975853337e47b5f88687b983\" tg-width=\"551\" tg-height=\"595\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">I'm sure there will be critics who think I'm just trying to set a high bar so that Tesla cannot beat my base case. That is not true here, as on the revenue side I'm not even halfway between the street average and the high estimate on the street. On the bottom line, I'm not even calling for Tesla to beat by as much as it did in Q2 (47 cents). Also, using the average jump from Q2 to Q3 non-GAAP earnings per share over the past three years would put us a bit above $2 per share, and I'm still calling for a one handle there. For Tesla to miss estimates on the bottom line, gross margins would have to drop by about a percentage point sequentially. Even then, a little revenue upside or savings on the operating expense lines could still fuel a bottom line beat.</p>\n<p>The other major item investors will be watching for is an update on Tesla's production facilities. It appears that Shanghai 3/Y production is now greater than Fremont's, and the Berlin and Texas factories are still on track to open this year. The company needs these facilities to come online in the next few months if it wants to hit a 50% yearly growth rate for 2022, likely meaning over 1.3 million deliveries. Any Tesla-specific delays that linger meaningfully into the new year may also impact other new products (Semi, Cybertruck, new Roadster) that have already been delayed a bit, as well as allowing the competition to potentially steal some market share. In the past few days, Tesla removed the Cybertruck's specifications and prices from its website. This may have to do with surging commodity costs since that product was unveiled, and it likely means Tesla will raise prices when production finally starts.</p>\n<p>As for Tesla shares, they are currently in a very nice uptrend and have broken solidly above $800 after the Q3 delivery report. As the chart below shows, the 50-day moving average (pink line) has crossed back above its longer term counterpart (200-day in purple). The stock closed Friday less than $60 from its all-time high, so the only concern here might be that the earnings report could be the old \"buy the rumor, sell the news\" type of event.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d6c847a0a536db8d53da68a6fbbbeac\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Yahoo!

Given the sharp sequential rise in deliveries, the street seems a bit low with some of its estimates, and any margin increases would likely mean a significant bottom line beat. Investors will be looking for updates on production capacities, not only to see if Berlin and Texas are close to being ready, but to start thinking about how far over one million deliveries Tesla could get next year. It certainly will be interesting to see the stock's reaction afterwards, as the recent rally may mean investors are pricing in another big beat.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla Q3: Blowout Possible Again</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla Q3: Blowout Possible Again\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-10-19 13:58 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460443-tesla-stock-blowout-q3-possible-again><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nQ3 street estimates seems rather low.\nMargin strength could lead to large beat.\nInvestors looking for comments on supply chain issues.\n\nAdrianHancu/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nAll eyes ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460443-tesla-stock-blowout-q3-possible-again\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4460443-tesla-stock-blowout-q3-possible-again","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1198851965","content_text":"Summary\n\nQ3 street estimates seems rather low.\nMargin strength could lead to large beat.\nInvestors looking for comments on supply chain issues.\n\nAdrianHancu/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nAll eyes will be on electric vehicle maker Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)as the company reports its third quarter results after the bell on Wednesday, October 20th.

To facilitate its AI capabilities, Etsy completed a migration to <b>Alphabet</b>'s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Cloud in early 2020.</p>\n<p>Also, on Etsy's Q1 2021 earnings call, CEO Josh Silverman talked about a focus on multivariate models powered by machine learning.

These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the <b>S&P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq</b> <b>Composite</b> are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.</p>\n<p>The trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a473d5ba64c80633f42466d051223667\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image Source: Getty Images</p>\n<h2><b>Amazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish</b></h2>\n<p><b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!</p>\n<p>That said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.</p>\n<p>After being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.</p>\n<p>There are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.</p>\n<p>However, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.</p>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>'s slowing user-growth isn't an issue</b></h2>\n<p><b>Facebook</b>'s (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.</p>\n<p>Facebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.</p>\n<p>Like Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.</p>\n<p>Despite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.</p>\n<p>Zuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.</p>\n<h2><b>Apple is going from strength to strength</b></h2>\n<p>By now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.</p>\n<p>Despite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>While shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android.

These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.\nThe trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.\nImage Source: Getty Images\nAmazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!\nThat said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.\nAfter being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.\nThere are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.\nHowever, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.\nFacebook's slowing user-growth isn't an issue\nFacebook's (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.\nFacebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.\nLike Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.\nDespite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.\nZuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.\nApple is going from strength to strength\nBy now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.\nDespite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%. Although Apple easily topped analyst expectations for revenue and earnings, investors reacted negatively to commentary from CEO Tim Cook that chip shortages could impact iPhone and iPad sales in the current quarter.\nWhile shortages are never ideal, in the short term this is an example of a \"good problem.\" Demand outstripping supply means your product is coveted, and it's unlikely many iPhone users will step out of its ecosystem to buy an Android. In fact, it's this sticky user base that will power Apple's next phase of growth, as Apple has been aggressive at monetizing its installed base with services and recurring subscription-based revenue.\nRevenue attributable to services grew 33% over the prior year, an acceleration from the 27% growth rate the prior quarter.

If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!</p>\n<p>That said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.</p>\n<p>After being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.</p>\n<p>There are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.</p>\n<p>However, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.</p>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>'s slowing user-growth isn't an issue</b></h2>\n<p><b>Facebook</b>'s (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago.

These proven companies provide the bulk of index returns, as both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are weighted by market capitalization. Large cap stocks have also earned their massive sizes due to their histories of exceeding expectations and making patient investors steady returns.\nThe trade-off has always been framed as sacrificing growth for the stability large-cap stocks provide. But investors are increasingly rejecting this false narrative as many large-cap tech stocks continue to post above-average growth rates. These three large-cap companies offer the stability of large-cap stocks, with above-average growth potential.\nImage Source: Getty Images\nAmazon's \"slowing growth\" narrative is too bearish\nAmazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has made quite a few investors rich on its way to a $1.7 trillion market cap, including its founder Jeff Bezos -- now the second-richest man in the world. If you had invested $10,000 at its market debut in 1997, your stake would be worth more than $20 million today!\nThat said, shares of Amazon are trailing the S&P 500 this year, posting a 3% return versus 17% for the index. Despite posting a year-over-year revenue increase of 27%, Amazon missed analyst expectations of a 29% top-line beat. Additionally, the company guided for third-quarter revenue to come in at $109 billion at the midpoint, below consensus estimates of $119 billion.\nAfter being faulted for having no earnings for years, Amazon smashed earnings per share estimates by 23% despite missing on the top line. Ironically, investors ignored the increased profitability of the business to focus on slowing growth.\nThere are reasons for long-term investors to consider this nothing but noise. Pandemic lockdowns boosted demand for e-commerce last year, which made 2021 a difficult year for comparisons. However, Amazon's higher-margin business segments like third-party seller services (38%), AWS (37%), and subscription services (32%) all outperformed analyst expectations.\nHowever, what's exciting is the company's catch-all other division, which is mostly advertising. During the quarter, revenue attributable to other increased 87% and is now half the size of AWS. Amazon's temporary sell-off has given long-term investors an attractive entry point.\nFacebook's slowing user-growth isn't an issue\nFacebook's (NASDAQ:FB) Mark Zuckerberg isn't as rich as Bezos, trailing him by an estimated $70 billion, but at 37 he still has a long career ahead of him. Zuckerberg has grown Facebook from an idea to a $1 trillion market cap, and shares are currently 840% higher than their $38 IPO price nine years ago. And there are still long-term drivers drivers ahead for the company.\nFacebook's stock rally was halted in its tracks due to second-quarter earnings, despite growing revenue by 56% and EPS by 101% -- both higher than consensus estimates. Investors were disappointed with the company's commentary on revenue growth in the back half of 2021 and the fact that daily active users in the lucrative U.S. and Canadian markets declined from the prior year's corresponding period.\nLike Amazon, Facebook is seeing a return to normal after the pandemic. Social media usage understandably exploded during the pandemic, and a return to more in-person events was always going to impact the company's engagement.\nDespite the modest yearly decline in daily active users (DAUs) (1.5%), the company still has 195 million people across the U.S. and Canada logging into a Facebook product daily, and can monetize users by raising costs per ad, like it did this quarter.\nZuckerberg is now focused on his most audacious plans yet -- the metaverse. The company acquired virtual reality company Oculus in 2014, and plans to use its headsets to create an entirely new virtual world for users. The potential upside could be bigger than anything it's done yet.\nApple is going from strength to strength\nBy now, you might have identified a theme in the above stocks, as all are mega-cap tech companies that sold off after earnings. Against that backdrop, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a natural fit, as shares moderately sold off after the company reported fiscal third-quarter earnings. Although its market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, the company continues to have growth drivers.\nDespite concerns that the iPhone market was saturated, Apple grew revenue attributable to the device 50% over the prior year and boosted total revenue higher by 36%.

Recently, the company announced record production and deliveries for the quarter that smashed analyst expectations. However, street estimates for Q3 haven't risen as much as one might expect, which could lead to another blowout earnings report this week.</p>\n<p>For the period, preliminary deliveries of 241,300 beat street estimates by nearly 20,000 units. In Q2 of this year, the average revenue per vehicle delivered (including regulatory credit sales) was just under $50,700. If you basically round off, the math tells you that a beat of that size should equal about an extra billion dollars in revenue. Going into the report, the street was exactly at $13 billion for its Q3 average, but take a look at where we are now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c6077ce9974face1a7cfbeabe2e93e0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"73\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha analyst estimates page</span></p>\n<p>Despite the large deliveries beat, the street average hasn't even risen by $650 million, so the consensus seems to be a bit low right now. Additionally, the \"low\" estimate seems completely off base, as that would represent a decline over Q2's top line figure despite an extra roughly 40,000 deliveries. Don't forget, the sequential jump in Model S cash deliveries was around 6,000 units, which at an average selling price of $100,000 is an additional $600 million in revenue alone. Taking the low estimate out would increase the street average by $100 million. Unless there was some massive discounting going on or some prior period adjustment, any revenue estimates around or below $13 billion just don't seem logical.</p>\n<p>Model Y sales to Europe, more Model S sales (including the expensive Plaid), and a full quarter of price raises in the US should all be tailwinds. The standard range Y in China will provide somewhat of a headwind, along with a slightly stronger dollar in the quarter. However, Tesla may be able to potentially recognize hundreds of millions of dollars in deferred revenue related to its full self-driving feature as that program expanded a bit during the quarter. I also am projecting a $100 million sequential decline in credit sales.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest question in the quarter will be margins. All of those price hikes, the mix of more Model Y and new Model S, and the ramp of production in China should be positives, potentially offsetting some or all supply chain or chip shortage inflation. In my base case, I'm assuming that total automotive gross margins increase by one percentage point, or a little more than half of the 190 basis points they jumped from Q1 to Q2. As I usually do, the table below shows a bear, base, and bull case, with dollar values in millions except per share amounts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f864f8d975853337e47b5f88687b983\" tg-width=\"551\" tg-height=\"595\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">I'm sure there will be critics who think I'm just trying to set a high bar so that Tesla cannot beat my base case. That is not true here, as on the revenue side I'm not even halfway between the street average and the high estimate on the street. On the bottom line, I'm not even calling for Tesla to beat by as much as it did in Q2 (47 cents). Also, using the average jump from Q2 to Q3 non-GAAP earnings per share over the past three years would put us a bit above $2 per share, and I'm still calling for a one handle there. For Tesla to miss estimates on the bottom line, gross margins would have to drop by about a percentage point sequentially. Even then, a little revenue upside or savings on the operating expense lines could still fuel a bottom line beat.</p>\n<p>The other major item investors will be watching for is an update on Tesla's production facilities. It appears that Shanghai 3/Y production is now greater than Fremont's, and the Berlin and Texas factories are still on track to open this year. The company needs these facilities to come online in the next few months if it wants to hit a 50% yearly growth rate for 2022, likely meaning over 1.3 million deliveries. Any Tesla-specific delays that linger meaningfully into the new year may also impact other new products (Semi, Cybertruck, new Roadster) that have already been delayed a bit, as well as allowing the competition to potentially steal some market share. In the past few days, Tesla removed the Cybertruck's specifications and prices from its website. This may have to do with surging commodity costs since that product was unveiled, and it likely means Tesla will raise prices when production finally starts.</p>\n<p>As for Tesla shares, they are currently in a very nice uptrend and have broken solidly above $800 after the Q3 delivery report. As the chart below shows, the 50-day moving average (pink line) has crossed back above its longer term counterpart (200-day in purple). The stock closed Friday less than $60 from its all-time high, so the only concern here might be that the earnings report could be the old \"buy the rumor, sell the news\" type of event.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d6c847a0a536db8d53da68a6fbbbeac\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"245\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Yahoo! Finance</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is set to report Q3 earnings this week, and it would not surprise me if we see the company beat again.

Recently, the company announced record production and deliveries for the quarter that smashed analyst expectations. However, street estimates for Q3 haven't risen as much as one might expect, which could lead to another blowout earnings report this week.\nFor the period, preliminary deliveries of 241,300 beat street estimates by nearly 20,000 units. In Q2 of this year, the average revenue per vehicle delivered (including regulatory credit sales) was just under $50,700. If you basically round off, the math tells you that a beat of that size should equal about an extra billion dollars in revenue. Going into the report, the street was exactly at $13 billion for its Q3 average, but take a look at where we are now.\nSource: Seeking Alpha analyst estimates page\nDespite the large deliveries beat, the street average hasn't even risen by $650 million, so the consensus seems to be a bit low right now. Additionally, the \"low\" estimate seems completely off base, as that would represent a decline over Q2's top line figure despite an extra roughly 40,000 deliveries. Don't forget, the sequential jump in Model S cash deliveries was around 6,000 units, which at an average selling price of $100,000 is an additional $600 million in revenue alone. Taking the low estimate out would increase the street average by $100 million. Unless there was some massive discounting going on or some prior period adjustment, any revenue estimates around or below $13 billion just don't seem logical.\nModel Y sales to Europe, more Model S sales (including the expensive Plaid), and a full quarter of price raises in the US should all be tailwinds. The standard range Y in China will provide somewhat of a headwind, along with a slightly stronger dollar in the quarter. However, Tesla may be able to potentially recognize hundreds of millions of dollars in deferred revenue related to its full self-driving feature as that program expanded a bit during the quarter. I also am projecting a $100 million sequential decline in credit sales.\nPerhaps the biggest question in the quarter will be margins. All of those price hikes, the mix of more Model Y and new Model S, and the ramp of production in China should be positives, potentially offsetting some or all supply chain or chip shortage inflation. In my base case, I'm assuming that total automotive gross margins increase by one percentage point, or a little more than half of the 190 basis points they jumped from Q1 to Q2. As I usually do, the table below shows a bear, base, and bull case, with dollar values in millions except per share amounts.\nI'm sure there will be critics who think I'm just trying to set a high bar so that Tesla cannot beat my base case. That is not true here, as on the revenue side I'm not even halfway between the street average and the high estimate on the street. On the bottom line, I'm not even calling for Tesla to beat by as much as it did in Q2 (47 cents). Also, using the average jump from Q2 to Q3 non-GAAP earnings per share over the past three years would put us a bit above $2 per share, and I'm still calling for a one handle there. For Tesla to miss estimates on the bottom line, gross margins would have to drop by about a percentage point sequentially. Even then, a little revenue upside or savings on the operating expense lines could still fuel a bottom line beat.\nThe other major item investors will be watching for is an update on Tesla's production facilities. It appears that Shanghai 3/Y production is now greater than Fremont's, and the Berlin and Texas factories are still on track to open this year. The company needs these facilities to come online in the next few months if it wants to hit a 50% yearly growth rate for 2022, likely meaning over 1.3 million deliveries. Any Tesla-specific delays that linger meaningfully into the new year may also impact other new products (Semi, Cybertruck, new Roadster) that have already been delayed a bit, as well as allowing the competition to potentially steal some market share. In the past few days, Tesla removed the Cybertruck's specifications and prices from its website. This may have to do with surging commodity costs since that product was unveiled, and it likely means Tesla will raise prices when production finally starts.\nAs for Tesla shares, they are currently in a very nice uptrend and have broken solidly above $800 after the Q3 delivery report. As the chart below shows, the 50-day moving average (pink line) has crossed back above its longer term counterpart (200-day in purple). The stock closed Friday less than $60 from its all-time high, so the only concern here might be that the earnings report could be the old \"buy the rumor, sell the news\" type of event.\nSource: Yahoo! Finance\nTesla is set to report Q3 earnings this week, and it would not surprise me if we see the company beat again. Given the sharp sequential rise in deliveries, the street seems a bit low with some of its estimates, and any margin increases would likely mean a significant bottom line beat. Investors will be looking for updates on production capacities, not only to see if Berlin and Texas are close to being ready, but to start thinking about how far over one million deliveries Tesla could get next year. It certainly will be interesting to see the stock's reaction afterwards, as the recent rally may mean investors are pricing in another big beat.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":679,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":898896237,"gmtCreate":1628482604429,"gmtModify":1633746804197,"author":{"id":"4088998199430630","authorId":"4088998199430630","authorIdStr":"4088998199430630","name":"Wengyeeee","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd2ef7f5f5e5cfc44b09cec4bcf284f6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4088998199430630"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/898896237","repostId":"2157492988","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2157492988","pubTimestamp":1628480467,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2157492988?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-09 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Top Large-Cap Stocks to Buy in August","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2157492988","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These three large-cap stocks provide growth and stability.","content":"<p>Investors need large-cap stocks in their portfolios.
