- Analysts expect Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) to report revenue of $1.59B and EPS of -$0.52 tomorrow after the bell. Other key highlights will be an update on Model 3 reservations and discussion on the ramp up of Model X production. A capital raise from the EV automaker could steal the show if the amount catches investors off-guard.
- Stifel Nicolaus is comfortable sticking with its bullish view on Tesla ahead of tomorrow's report. Analyst James Albertine thinks 2016 delivery guidance will be maintained at a level of 80K to 90K units. He also expects a higher mix of Model X vehicles in Tesla's sales tally to help drive Q1 results close to consensus. A capital raise is seen being pushed further down the road, but Stifel hopes to hear from management sooner rather than later on the progress of the Gigafactory.
