Investors eye margins, AI roadmap and earnings outlookWritten by Anupam Nagar, ETMarkets.com|Jul 22, 2026, 12:22:13
PM IST1/5Traders Expect Around 7%-8% Post-Earnings MoveThe options market is pricing in a post-earnings move of roughly
7% to 8% in Tesla shares, marking the largest implied swing following quarterly results in about a year. CNBC estimates
a move of around 7.6%, while broader market expectations range between 7% and 7.8%. The elevated implied volatility
reflects growing uncertainty over Tesla's outlook, particularly around profitability and future growth initiatives.
(Sources: CNBC, Ad Hoc News, Reuters)ETMarkets.com2/5Wall Street Estimates Point to Strong Revenue GrowthAnalysts expect
Tesla to report revenue of around $27-28 billion for the second quarter, with adjusted earnings per share estimated at
$0.54-$0.55. Automotive gross margins are projected to be close to 19.5%. While these estimates indicate healthy revenue
growth supported by record vehicle deliveries, investors will be watching closely to see whether stronger sales
translated into improved profitability.ETMarkets.com3/5AI, Robotaxis and Optimus Take Centre StageInvestors are expected
to focus as much on Tesla's long-term AI ambitions as on its quarterly financial performance. Management is likely to
provide updates on the expansion of its Robotaxi service, progress on the Cybercab platform, development of the Optimus
humanoid robot, and investments in AI infrastructure. Many analysts believe these growth initiatives could have a
greater impact on the stock's direction than the quarterly earnings numbers.ETMarkets.com4/5Record Deliveries Offer
Support, But Questions RemainTesla's record second-quarter vehicle deliveries have strengthened confidence that demand
has recovered after earlier weakness. However, investors remain focused on whether the company can sustain that momentum
while maintaining pricing power. They will also assess the contribution from regulatory credits and, more importantly,
whether higher deliveries translate into stronger earnings and improved cash generation.Reuters5/5What Could Move the
Stock After Results?Tesla's post-earnings share price reaction is expected to depend on several factors beyond headline
revenue and earnings. Investors will closely examine automotive gross margins, updates on the AI and Robotaxi roadmap,
capital expenditure plans, free cash flow performance, and management's outlook for the second half of 2026. Analysts
believe that encouraging progress on AI initiatives could help offset weaker financial metrics, while disappointing
guidance may lead to a sharp decline in the stock given the elevated expectations.(Disclaimer: Recommendations,
