Tesla profit tanked 46% in 2025
- guywithahat 8mo agoI guess that's one way of saying Tesla beat revenue and earnings expectations. Stock price went up 3% in after-hours trading.
- cmsj 8mo agoWhen you absolutely, positively, must find a nice thing to say about Tesla, yes, their 11% revenue decline - their second year in a row of revenue decline, was indeed slightly less bad than analysts expected...
- brokensegue 8mo agoanalysts are kinda irrelevant when a stock isn't connected to fundamentals anyways

- Analemma_ 8mo ago11% revenue decline during a year where the global EV market grew 20% [0]. That's just abysmal, especially for a company which was once the only game in town if you wanted a "serious" EV.

- wat10000 8mo agoTesla is often compared to Apple. I guess in this case it’s the Apple that dominated an emerging market, then fumbled it and completely lost the market to the IBM PC and ended up as a bit player for the next two decades.
- r00fus 8mo agoExcept Apple ditched their firebrand founder to fumble it all. In Tesla's case they are tied to the hip of their "founder" and are fumbling it. Stonk still high though so...
- verdverm 8mo agoI read "beating" more like ICE tactics then coming out ahead of a prediction, seems perhaps more accurate
- rconti 8mo agoBad news that is priced in is still bad news. The meta-commentary of the bad news being priced in, and the behavior of the stock post-earnings is absolutely useful information and valid analysis, but it's not the key takeaway unless you're a day trader.

- wat10000 8mo agoWho cares how it compares to expectations? So some experts thought it would be even worse. Why do I care what they thought? A massive drop in profits is much more relevant.
- indubioprorubik 8mo agoTesla is stock is great. Not because its great. But because its a optin for people, who cant opt out on a system, that opted out on them. Its like the only "fast-forward technology-wise-and-break-things" button that still seems to work. You can vote in a loose cannon - and it still will refuse to break the ship.
- HardwareLust 8mo agoWhy is this flagged?
- cmsj 8mo agoMeme stock must be protected, apparently.
- lawn 8mo agoNegative coverage about Musk or Trump is usually flagged. Sometimes vouching and upvotes negate it, but not always.
- addandsubtract 8mo agoMeanwhile, the other Tesla thread is still up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46802867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46802867
- rsynnott 8mo agoHeresy against Dear Leader! Anything insufficiently complementary of either Musk or Trump tends to get flagged by their weird simps.
- johnnyanmac 8mo agoStories like this being flagged is exactly why I feel this HN commitment to curious and quality readings is completely broken. If some super minority of users need to weaponize the site's features to hide an earnings call, can those users really be trusted with flagging privileges?
- rich_sasha 8mo agoGood job the PE ratio increased in lockstep, more than compensating for the earnings going down the toilet. Just hodl and chill.
