Here is additional information that you should know prior to the earnings release:
1) Unusual option activity - bullish or bearish?
If we look at the expiry date options 01/26/24, 02/02/24 and 02/09/24, the volatility smile (also known as Volatile slew) chart showed a "smile" indicating the price movement is uncertain. The strike price range between 20 to 400 though higher volume was traded below the current price.

3) Cathie Wood latest analysis about Tesla
The combination of Tesla's rising EV production, industry-leading battery technology, and the potential of autonomous driving results in an estimated share price of $2,000 by 2027 in Wood's base case. Given Tesla's current share price, Wood is calling for a nearly 800% increase within the next few years.

6) Bottom line
When reading Tesla Q4 earnings, you need to have a growth mindset to avoid emotional trading like panic selling. Don't just look at the headline or what the media (or someone) wants you to see or hear. It's a good practice to question the source of information and ignore personal opinion especially those who regularly give negative bias comments about Tesla (confirmation bias). Lastly read articles on both sides - positive and negative and make a final decision after due diligence before you decide to sell or hold the share.

  • Pr3car1ous : You should actually do some research on Cathy....
    And Jim Bones is sometimes accurate! Yes, 90% of the time bet against him, but there were several occasions last year he was spot on

  • ZnWCOP Pr3car1ous: I bring out Cathie Wood's article because her view is often misunderstood. You should also read more about her Tesla's share prediction in 2020. As for Jim Cramer, you should do more research about him. I advise you to read analyst ratings on both sides - bullish and bearish.
