Revenue came in at $23.35 billion, undershooting Wall Street\u2019s consensus target of $24.1 billion. The weaker-than-expected revenue reflected the inelasticity of demand despite Tesla\u2019s string of price cuts and price discounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, the auto gross margin, excluding regulatory credits, fell to 16.3% compared to an expected 17.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Future Fund\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Gary Black&nbsp;<\/strong>said the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/analyst-ratings\/analyst-color\/23\/10\/35323572\/teslas-rare-double-miss-analyst-expects-wall-street-to-revise-estimates-after-q3-ea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quality of earnings was poor&nbsp;<\/a>as it came off higher regulatory credits, which adds 100% to the bottom line without any expenses, and a lower-than-expected tax rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The management commentary also did not encourage investors despite the company confirming the&nbsp;<strong>Cybertruck&nbsp;<\/strong>launch data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla bull&nbsp;<strong>Daniel Ives<\/strong>&nbsp;reduced the price target for Tesla stock from $350 to $310.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a nutshell, we would characterize last night\u2019s conference call as a \u2018mini-disaster,&#8217;\u201d Ives said. Instead of commenting on the falling margins and the constant price cuts seen globally, Tesla CEO&nbsp;<strong>Elon Musk&nbsp;<\/strong>focused on higher interest rates, and FSD\/AI investments, and highlighted the difficult path for Cybertruck production over the next 12 to 18 months, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In premarket trading, Tesla stock fell 6.19% to $227.67, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/benzinga.grsm.io\/lxquj26b2sag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Benzinga Pro data.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted October 19, 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/analyst-ratings\/analyst-color\/23\/10\/35326059\/tesla-stock-pulls-back-to-late-august-lows-whats-going-on\">Tesla Stock Pulls Back To Late-August Lows: What&#8217;s Going On?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shares of electric vehicle maker Tesla, Inc. fell over 5% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company\u2019s disappointing third-quarter earnings report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,8,9,22,26,3],"tags":[267,2015,4109,161],"contributors-categories":[13584],"class_list":{"0":"post-197879","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-north-america","7":"category-region","8":"category-securities","9":"category-stocks","10":"category-text-articles","11":"category-traders-insight","12":"tag-earnings","13":"tag-ev","14":"tag-stock-market","15":"tag-tesla","16":"contributors-categories-benzinga"},"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tesla Stock Pulls Back To Late-August Lows: What&#8217;s Going On?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Shares of electric vehicle maker Tesla, Inc. fell over 5% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company\u2019s disappointing third-quarter earnings...\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197879\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tesla Stock Pulls Back To Late-August Lows: What&#039;s Going On?
