In summary... they made a profit, they have positive cash flow, cash on the balance sheet is up, debt is down... they are weathering the COVID storm amazingly well.

SUCK ON THAT TESLA HATERS!!!

Surely you understand there’s an enormous gulf between “I hate Tesla” and “TSLA is clearly overvalued if a bad day of trading wipes out more market cap than the total market  cap of Toyota”

Oh definitely.  I personally think the stock is overvalued even if Houghton I’m a Tesla fan

I don’t understand at all how Tesla could possibly be worth more than the likes of Ford, GM, and Toyota. How can a company be worth so much when it is a surprise for them to turn a profitable quarter?

I mean Ford and GM have gone bankrupt before. Their ongoing and on-the-books liabilities are massive, and certainly Ford has huge issues with selling cars that don’t start with “F-“ . Toyota is another matter though.

I read a thorough article that tried to explain how institutional investors would comb through their financials and it came up with a share price of around $1100. Beyond about $1250 they said it’s just speculation or people who are anticipating margins of 30%+ and in their view that’s just not attainable for those cars. They used Ferrari for comparisons but said it was outside of the realistic upside for a mass-market company like Tesla... still cool to see how the math worked though.
