Tesla stock

Tesla ( TSLA 3.23% ) has captured the spotlight once again with another showstopper of a quarter. Fans may flock to the company's top and bottom-line growth ...

Tesla is undeniably the best company in the auto industry and could very well accelerate its growth and continue to look like it deserves to be worth a lot more than critiques say it should be. The biggest advantage that Tesla has over the competition is that nearly 100% of its cash flow gets poured into its core business, while other legacy automakers still have a lot of costs associated with internal combustion engine divisions. Put another way, Tesla can sustain its momentum and outpace the growth of its competition. As Howard said, Tesla continues to sport a high operating margin relative to the industry. Tesla earned $5.5 billion in all of 2021, and it already has booked net income of $3.3 billion in the first quarter of 2022. The risk/reward for Tesla just doesn't seem to be worth it quite yet, especially given some of the amazing growth stocks that are on sale right now. Tesla reported an operating margin of 19.2%, which shows just how much it stands out compared to traditional automakers. The company has shown it can operate efficiently even as other manufacturers struggle with supply chain constraints and rising costs. Tesla ( TSLA 3.23% ) has captured the spotlight once again with another showstopper of a quarter. At its recent market cap of about $1.1 trillion, the stock has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 200 based on 2021 earnings. The company grew revenue 81% in the first quarter compared to the prior-year period. While the stock move brings the electric vehicle (EV) leader's already lofty valuation even higher, there are reasons to think it is justified.
