Analysis

Hope premium

Tesla, Inc. is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 2391.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 8/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.
