Analysis of Tesla Stock Investment Prospects
- Earnings Forecast Decline: Tesla is expected to report a 3.7% revenue decline to $24.8 billion for Q4 2025, with earnings potentially dropping 38% to $0.45 per share, which could lead to a stock sell-off, providing a better buying opportunity for investors.
