Tesla stock will be in focus for the global investors starting today. Tesla’s first-quarter earnings report is to be released after the market closes today. Elon Musk’s Tesla will post its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Protests and controversy have also centered on the EV manufacturer because of CEO Elon Musk’s ties to the Trump administration.

Many shareholders and analysts believe that the fortunes of the company could change if Musk leaves DOGE to spend more time on the company’s affairs.

All this and more could be revealed at Tesla’s conference call today. Tesla management will hold a live company update and question-and-answer webcast that day at 4:30 p.m. Central Time (5:30 p.m. Eastern Time).

Tesla is selling fewer cars than it did previously. Tesla’s first quarter 2025 production, deliveries and deployments were released on April 2. In the first quarter, Tesla produced over 362,000 vehicles, delivered over 336,000 vehicles and deployed 10.4 GWh of energy storage products.

Due to lower-than-expected deliveries during the January–March period, Tesla is anticipated to report lower profit margins and earnings for the first quarter.

Tesla’s EPS could be hit badly. With adjusted earnings per share (EPS) predicted to drop by almost 8% year over year to $0.42, Tesla is expected to report a less than 1% decline in revenue to $21.18 billion.

Since the release of last quarter’s report, the adjusted EPS consensus has dropped by more than 40%, while the revenue estimate has been reduced by more than 16%.

Some Wall Street analysts expect earnings of 36 cents a share on $20.1 billion in sales. This contrasts with earnings of 45 cents per share from $21.3 billion in sales during the same period last year.

Analysts surveyed by FactSet estimate Tesla to announce adjusted earnings of 43 cents a share on sales of $21.45 billion, which would be a touch higher than the $21.3 billion recorded for the first quarter of 2024.

Tesla shares trade around $227 and are down by 45% so far in 2025. One big factor for the stock to underperform was Tesla’s falling EV market share in its major markets, namely the U.S., China and Europe.

According to a Reuters report earlier this week, the Trump administration’s tariffs have caused the company to halt shipments of parts from China for its semi trucks and Cybercab autonomous taxi, which could postpone the vehicles’ manufacture and release.
