Frequently asked questions
What is Tesla Inc's revenue?
Tesla Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $97.88B, and consensus projects about $273.00B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is TSLA?
In its most recent fiscal year, TSLA ran a gross margin of 18.03%, an operating margin of 4.59%, and a net margin of 4.00%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does TSLA generate?
TSLA produced $6.22B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is TSLA's balance sheet healthy?
TSLA holds $16.51B in cash and equivalents against $6.58B in long-term debt, on $82.14B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
