Elon Musk's Tesla has been the center of attention these past few years with its astronomical gains, that positioned it as a top investment in most porfolios.
Tesla shares are experiencing a notable uptick in premarket trading on Monday, recovering some of the losses from Friday. This rebound is driven by bullish sentiment surrounding the company’s upcoming third-quarter delivery numbers.
Typically, Tesla announces these figures shortly after each quarter ends, so the next update is expected in just over a week. Barclays analyst Dan Levy stated that he anticipates Tesla will report third-quarter deliveries of around 470,000 units, surpassing the consensus estimate of 461,000.
This optimistic outlook is supported by recent weekly insurance data for Tesla vehicles in China, which has shown significant growth this quarter. Fund manager Gary Black noted that there were 15,600 insured registrations in the week of September 9-15, suggesting that the company is set to achieve its usual quarterly targets.
However, the situation in Europe appears less favorable, with the European Automobile Manufacturers Association reporting a 36% year-over-year decline in Tesla’s sales, totaling 21,701 vehicles in August. The ACEA commented that the electric vehicle market is facing a consistent downward trend.
