Verdict: Miss
Tesla verfehlte den bereinigten EPS-Konsens deutlich: Tatsächlicher non-GAAP EPS war 0,33 USD – rund 30 % unter dem Zacks-Konsens von ~0,47 USD und sogar 39 % unter dem zum Zeitpunkt des Berichts geltenden Konsens von ~0,53 USD. Das GAAP-EPS lag bei 0,32 USD. Ursachen: Das GAAP-Betriebsergebnis brach um 57 % auf 398 Mio. USD ein, die operative Marge kollabierte von 4,1 % auf 1,4 % – trotz Rekordumsatz von 28,24 Mrd. USD (+26 % YoY, Beat). Treiber des EPS-Misses waren höhere Betriebsausgaben, anhaltender Margendruck und gestiegene Kosten. Die UBS-Schätzung von 0,67 USD und das positive ESP-Signal erwiesen sich als stark überhöht. Quellen: Electrek (22.07.2026), Shacknews, Teslarati, Qz.com, StockTitan.

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end.

Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
