Tesla Stock Is Having One of Its Best Years Ever. It Wasn’t Easy.

Barrons2021-12-28

Tesla stock is about to post its third-best year since going public in 2010. So why does it feel like a failure? Based on numbers alone, it’s hard to think that 2021 has been anything but a success. ...

So why does it feel like a failure?\nBased on numbers alone, it’s hard to think that 2021 has been anything but a success. Tesla stock has gained 56%, more than double the S&P 500’s 27% rise. This was also the year when every auto maker, including Ford Motor (ticker: F) and General Motors (GM), decided all together that Elon Musk was right, that electric vehicles are the future, and they’d better do something to narrow the gap—and fast.\nAnd yet, no one seems very excited about the stock right now. Part of that appears to be a result of Musk himself, an always polarizing figure who became even more polarizing in 2021. If it weren’t his posts on Twitter about Dogecoin,it was his battle with the Biden administration and his inability to ignore the criticism launched at him by politicians, often in language we don’t expect from the head of a major U.S. corporation.\nMusk is one of the great CEOs of all time, almost single-handedly responsible for making EVs real—and for showing that there’s a future in space—and yet he seems unable to let his work speak for him.\nThen there’s all the hoopla around Musk’s sale of company stock. Never mind that his holdings keep growing even as he sells because he’s converting options into stock and selling a percentage to cover the taxes. But Musk’s Twitter pollover whether he should sell put undue focus on what could have been just a normal set of sales—if anything Musk does is ever normal—instead became a spectacle. Tesla shares (TSLA) tumbled16% from Nov. 8 through its Dec. 20 low, but is now down just 4%, with Tesla up 2.5% on Monday.\nThat’s all noise, though. The final reason might be new competition that Tesla faces. Ford and GM are racing to get their EVs on the market, including all-electric versions of their most popular vehicles. Startups like Nikola (NKLA),Lucid (LICD), and Rivian Automotive (RIVN) have started delivering vehicles, and Rivian has a customer in Amazon.com (AMZN)—also an investor in the company—that could buy 300,000 trucks by 2026, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.\nIt’s the latter that might be Tesla’s biggest challenge. For years, Tesla had the EV market to itself, and it took full advantage. Now, it gets harder. That’s not to say that Tesla won’t continue to grow, and perhaps even dominate. But before, Tesla just had to prove that people wanted to buy electric vehicles, that it could develop scale. Now, it needs to demonstrate that it can hold on to its lead.\nStill, Tesla stock has dropped just once since going public in 2010—in 2016, when it fell 11%. And the stock gained more than 740% in 2020, making even a 50%-plus increase feel anticlimactic.\nAnd maybe that’s why Tesla’s year feels so ho-hum. Investors might just be spoiled.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":696535465,"gmtCreate":1640732986161,"gmtModify":1640732986389,"author":{"id":"3575157035905942","authorId":"3575157035905942","name":"LionPanda21","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/826d9bc0b1bfc9e3145623cf6fcb513e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Tesla

So why does it feel like a failure?\nBased on numbers alone, it’s hard to think that 2021 has been anything but a success. Tesla stock has gained 56%, more than double the S&P 500’s 27% rise. This was also the year when every auto maker, including Ford Motor (ticker: F) and General Motors (GM), decided all together that Elon Musk was right, that electric vehicles are the future, and they’d better do something to narrow the gap—and fast.\nAnd yet, no one seems very excited about the stock right now. Part of that appears to be a result of Musk himself, an always polarizing figure who became even more polarizing in 2021. If it weren’t his posts on Twitter about Dogecoin,it was his battle with the Biden administration and his inability to ignore the criticism launched at him by politicians, often in language we don’t expect from the head of a major U.S. corporation.\nMusk is one of the great CEOs of all time, almost single-handedly responsible for making EVs real—and for showing that there’s a future in space—and yet he seems unable to let his work speak for him.\nThen there’s all the hoopla around Musk’s sale of company stock. Never mind that his holdings keep growing even as he sells because he’s converting options into stock and selling a percentage to cover the taxes. But Musk’s Twitter pollover whether he should sell put undue focus on what could have been just a normal set of sales—if anything Musk does is ever normal—instead became a spectacle. Tesla shares (TSLA) tumbled16% from Nov. 8 through its Dec. 20 low, but is now down just 4%, with Tesla up 2.5% on Monday.\nThat’s all noise, though. The final reason might be new competition that Tesla faces. Ford and GM are racing to get their EVs on the market, including all-electric versions of their most popular vehicles. Startups like Nikola (NKLA),Lucid (LICD), and Rivian Automotive (RIVN) have started delivering vehicles, and Rivian has a customer in Amazon.com (AMZN)—also an investor in the company—that could buy 300,000 trucks by 2026, according to Morgan Stanley analysts.\nIt’s the latter that might be Tesla’s biggest challenge. For years, Tesla had the EV market to itself, and it took full advantage. Now, it gets harder. That’s not to say that Tesla won’t continue to grow, and perhaps even dominate. But before, Tesla just had to prove that people wanted to buy electric vehicles, that it could develop scale. Now, it needs to demonstrate that it can hold on to its lead.\nStill, Tesla stock has dropped just once since going public in 2010—in 2016, when it fell 11%. And the stock gained more than 740% in 2020, making even a 50%-plus increase feel anticlimactic.\nAnd maybe that’s why Tesla’s year feels so ho-hum. Investors might just be spoiled.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"CN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":20,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
