Tesla’s stock fell 8% after its poor Q2 report, but the ‘Musk Magic’ premium is still sky-high
Tesla's market cap fell below $1 trillion, but it still reflects investors' assumptions of enormous future growth.
Tesla reported Q2 2025 revenue of $22.5-billion and adjusted EPS of $0.40, roughly in line with consensus but slightly below Roth’s estimates of $23.6-billion and $0.41. Non-GAAP auto gross margins came in strong at 15.
Tesla’s battery business has been feeling the pain, too. For a while, this was a growth area for the company, albeit one with a relatively minor contribution to the bottom line. During Q2 2025, Tesla’s energy generation and storage division brought in $2.8 billion in revenue, a 7 percent decline from the same period in 2024.
General Motors says it lost more than $1 billion in the second quarter because of U.S. tariffs. Stellantis lost more than double that in the first half of the year and blamed a sizeable chunk of that on tariffs, as well.
ET with analyst reactions Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are straddling the flatline in postmarket trading as the company’s second quarter results were not as bad as Wall Street expected and avoided a second consecutive top- and bottom-line miss with profits in-line with expectations.
Tesla’s Q2 sales decline is its worst this decade, but there is one bright spot. The company's energy storage business is quietly booming.
