Tesla Trades at 219x Earnings. Here’s Why I’m Not Buying the Bet on Its Future.

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares have risen about 3% over the past five days after Q3 deliveries of 486,532 beat analysts' expectations of roughly 462,000, though deliveries were still down about 2% year over year. The stock remains down about 15% this year ahead of Q3 earnings due October 21. Goldman Sachs said the stock will move more on robotaxi, FSD and Optimus updates than on quarterly earnings, keeping a Neutral rating with a $360 price target. The author argues the valuation is hard to justify: the forward non-GAAP P/E of 219.06x is about 81% above its 5-year average, and analysts expect EPS growth of just 5% in 2026 and 23% in 2027 before larger jumps in 2028 and 2029. The author concludes the stock is not worth buying at its current price.
