While second quarter earnings season kicked off last week, many consider the real tests to begin when the so-called \u201cMagnificent Seven<\/a>\u201d stocks report. The first of those is after the close today when Tesla (TSLA) reports. (Netflix (NFLX), a former FAANG stalwart with a stellar year-to-date performance of its own, also releases earnings today.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though TSLA is \u201conly\u201d the fifth-largest US company by market capitalization, it is the clear number one in many investors\u2019 mindspace.  It is perpetually the most actively traded stock and equity option class at our firm.  The cumulative volume numbers are astounding.  Using Bloomberg data for average price and volume, nearly $30 trillion worth of TSLA shares have changed hands this year, over 30X the company\u2019s market capitalization.  (For comparison, about $8.6 trillion of MSFT have traded, which is a bit over 3X it\u2019s market cap).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the stock up about 140% on a year-to-date basis, with about half of those gains occurring since it\u2019s last (disappointing) earnings report, it is clear that a considerable amount of good news is being priced into TSLA shares.  By any metric, the stock is phenomenally expensive.  Its P\/E is an eye-watering 87 on both a trailing and forward basis, and its PEG ratio is an eye-watering 5.1.  Investors are paying a huge growth premium, yet analyst estimates \u2013 at least for the next 12 months \u2013 are relatively stagnant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to FactSet data, reported by Barron\u2019s<\/a>, street consensus is for operating income of $2.7 billion, earnings per share (EPS) of 80 cents, and revenues of $24.2 billion.  The market so far cares little that none of those numbers are projected to be only modestly above last year\u2019s or last quarter\u2019s results.  In the second quarter of 2022, Tesla generated operating income of $2.5 billion, and EPS of 76 cents on sales of $16.9 billion. Last quarter, operating income was $2.7 billion, and EPS was 85 cents on sales of $23.3 billion.  Gross profit margins are considered to be a key metric.  They are projected to be about 18%, down from last quarter\u2019s 19% and last year\u2019s 30%.  As with any company, but even more crucially for TSLA, much of the market\u2019s reaction will depend upon the company\u2019s guidance, particularly about whether margins might rise sufficiently to allow profit upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If TSLA was a normal stock, statistics like those should make investors extraordinarily concerned about the potential for disappointment.  But TSLA is anything but a normal stock. We\u2019ve long asserted that TSLA is a \u201cfaith-based<\/a>\u201d stock.  It has a large cadre of zealous advocates whose quasi-religious faith in TSLA and its founder have indeed been richly rewarded.  Thus, it is always difficult to divine what might occur next in such an eclectic name.  That is why we turn to the options market for assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At-money options expiring on Friday are currently trading with an implied volatility of about 117%.  That implies that TSLA will average roughly 7% moves for the coming two days.  Bear in mind that moves like this are typical, if not modest, for TSLA after earnings.  On the day following earnings, the last few moves for TSLA have been -9.75%, +10.97%, -6.65%, +9.78%, +3.23% and -11.55%.  It would be quite imprudent to expect much below the current pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBKR Probability Lab shows some modest caution ahead of this afternoon\u2019s report.  With TSLA trading around $298, the peak probability implied by options expiring Friday is for a modest decline to the $290-$292 range.  Perhaps even some of the most faithful are hedging their bets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the minor risk aversion displayed by the above graph, it is somewhat to surprising to see that the lowest implied volatilities for this week\u2019s options occur around $280, a bit more than 5% below current levels.  We are quite used to seeing relatively symmetrical skews in TSLA, as shown in the August options (orange line below).  That is not surprising for a stock that is all about price appreciation.  It is also not surprising that there is no shortage of buyers of above market calls, either from the faithful or those hedging short positions.  But is interesting that the cheapest options (on an implied volatility basis) are those that would hedge against the sort of decline that we saw last quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could it be that TSLA options show investors to be simultaneously cautious AND sanguine about today\u2019s earnings report?  For a normal stock, that might be an irresolvable contradiction.  For TSLA, however, it\u2019s just another day at the office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
