With all the bad news and investors being tested, it's worth asking: Is Tesla still a good long-term option?
Let's look at Tesla's value.
Compared to other automakers, Tesla stock is considered expensive and overvalued. We can see this by comparing the P/E ratios of companies.
Today, Tesla's P/E ratio is at 42. This is five times more expensive than the second-most-valuable automaker, Toyota, and roughly twice as expensive as China-based fellow EV maker BYD. Even with its generous margins and the ability to mass-produce EVs efficiently, Tesla's stock isn't worth buying from a pure automotive perspective. However, when viewed in the context of its future endeavors, its potential begins to shine through and hints that it is currently trading at a discount.
Many think that Tesla is the best bet for getting in on the ground floor of the future of AI, even though the company still has a ways to go before it can fully benefit from its investments in this area.
