Tesla shares surge after fourth quarterly profit in a row!

<p><a href="https://admiralmarkets.com/analytics/traders-blog/tesla-earnings-june-2020"><img data-resize="auto" data-resize="auto" data-resize="auto" data-resize="auto" style="width:auto;" data-src="https://fxmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/Tesla_shares-2.png"></a></p><p>In its latest earnings report, <a href="https://admiralmarkets.com/start-trading/contract-specifications/instrument/_tsla" target="_blank">Tesla</a> reported its fourth quarterly net profit in a row. The company, led by Elon Musk, reported a net profit of $104 million in the previous quarter. Last year, they reported a loss of $408 million. A huge difference in just a short period of time which is reflected in its share price.<br></p><p>
While Tesla shares are up nearly 300% – this year alone – its share price continued to rise in pre-market trading after the announcement. Investors were expecting a slight loss, catching a few off guard. Interestingly, a large portion of their profits came from a unique revenue stream.
</p><p>
$428 million of revenue came from the sale of regulatory credits where Tesla sells its zero-emissions credits to other major car manufacturers who need them to avoid carbon-emission penalties. Analysts have called it Tesla's 'secret weapon', especially now that Tesla has a larger market cap of any vehicle manufacturer.
</p><p>
However, even more surprising to analysts and investors was the fact Tesla's revenue of $6.04 billion was $1 billion higher than anyone forecasted. This is also over the coronavirus lock down period. This helped earnings per share surge higher to $2.18 against an expected $1.45.
</p><p>
Due to its fourth month of consecutive profits, Tesla is now eligible to be included in the S&amp;P 500. One reason cited for the incredible rally this year is because index-tracking funds will have to buy the stock as well.
