Commentary
TSLA.us is up 145% since its January low. The stock is benefiting from enthusiasm around tax credits, its charging network, and the Cybertruck.
Tax Credit
All versions of the Model 3 now qualify for a full $7,500 tax credit. This makes the car cheaper for buyers and is because of an update from the Internal Revenue Service. Previously the standard range qualified for only a $3,750 credit.
Charging Network
TSLA.us has also agreed to let GM's electric vehicles use its supercharger network. This follows a similar deal concluded with Ford. In effect, Tesla's network is becoming the standard for the US.
The Cybertruck
There is a positivity around Cybertruck sales and demand after Electrek reported that TSLA.us was looking to produce 375,000 Cybertruck units per year. Wall Street had forecasted 250,000 or fewer.
Conclusion
Tesla's price-to-earnings ratio is 67.2, which is higher than its peers. However, its projected earnings growth is close to 20% and its return on equity is expected to be 24.8% in 3 years. The market is currently focusing on the positive news from the company.
