He wants to\u2026\u201d, TSLA investors will be eager to learn whether that return is imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, a key element of TSLA\u2019s very rich valuation is its futurism.&nbsp; The stock wouldn\u2019t sport a triple-digit P\/E if it was being valued strictly as an auto company.&nbsp; Hopes for robotaxis, robotics, and other inventions play an integral part in that valuation, and frankly, a visionary who is busy with the day-to-day mechanics of government bureaucracy is highly unlikely to be simultaneously making concrete progress toward those corporate goals.&nbsp; Musk has a unique ability to refocus investors on those elements of futurism if a particular quarter comes up short.&nbsp; His credibility about being able to deliver on his promises will be far greater if he commits to returning to TSLA soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/livecoverage\/tesla-earnings-stock-q1-results-elon-musk-evs-guidance\/card\/here-are-the-key-numbers-to-watch-for-in-tesla-s-earnings-0pNTWSZOSRJsaZ4Gp0KV\">Market expectations<\/a> are for EPS of about $0.41 on revenues of $21.3 billion.&nbsp; Compared to the year ago quarter, the latter number is flat while the former is less than the prior $0.45.&nbsp; To my mind those seem a bit optimistic in light of the previously reported declines in deliveries, but I will defer to the analysts who regularly cover the company.&nbsp; Besides, the point of this piece is to suss out how options traders might be positioned ahead of the results, not come up with our own estimates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After yesterday\u2019s -5.7% decline, giving it a -43% year-to-date drop, one might have been concerned that sentiment has gotten too negative.&nbsp; Today\u2019s 6.2% rise, which recouped all of yesterday\u2019s drop, seems to have relieved some of the short-term pressure, if not the medium-term disappointment.&nbsp; As such, we see from the IBKR Probability Lab that the peak expectation for options expiring this Friday is in the $248-250 range, about 3-4% above the current stock price.&nbsp; Traders are showing some belief that TSLA could be oversold ahead of the report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
