Tesla posts record Q2 revenue and deliveries but earnings pressured by rising costs and investments

Tesla reported record revenues and vehicle deliveries in Q2, showing strong top-line growth across automotive, energy, and services sectors. However, earnings remain under pressure due to increased operating expenses and capital expenditures. The company's future growth depends heavily on early-stage ventures like Full Self-Driving (FSD), robotaxi, and Optimus, which currently dilute earnings. Despite strong cash reserves, Tesla's valuation faces risks from negative free cash flow and high CapEx, leading to a Hold rating with a 7% downside risk due to execution challenges in these ambitious projects.
