==Summary==

* Tesla is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.<ref name=":3">https://www.tesla.com/about</ref>
*The company sells and leases high-performance fully electric vehicles and energy generation and storage systems, and offers services related to its products. It emphasises performance, attractive styling and the safety of its users in the design and manufacture of its products and is continuing to develop full self-driving technology for improved safety. It also strives to lower the cost of ownership for its customers through continuous efforts to reduce manufacturing costs and by offering financial and other services tailored to its products.<ref name=":4">https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000156459021004599/tsla-10k_20201231.htm</ref>
* Assuming that Tesla increases its share of the automotive market to 10% (from 2%) and other assumptions, the expected return of an investment in the company over the next five years is 72%. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £1,720 in five years time.
* The degree of risk associated with an investment in Tesla is 'high'.

==Operations==

=== How did the idea of the company come about? ===
The idea of the company came about when the now founding team of the company realised that the current way that humankind is meeting its energy needs is unsustainable and bad for the planet.<ref name=":9">https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me</ref> 

Currently, an estimated 85% of the world's energy needs are met by burning fossil fuels<ref>https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/30797/EGR2019.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y</ref>, and energy production and consumption are responsible for 76% of annual human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.<ref>https://www.climatewatchdata.org/ghg-emissions?breakBy=sector&chartType=percentage&end_year=2018&sectors=total-including-lucf&start_year=1990</ref><ref>https://www.wri.org/insights/4-charts-explain-greenhouse-gas-emissions-countries-and-sectors</ref>

Researching into a better way to meet the energy needs, the team concluded that the best way to do so is to move to a solar electric economy, from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy.<ref name=":9" />

Accordingly, in the team's quest to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, the Tesla company was born.

=== What's the mission of the company? ===

Tesla is a company that's on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy.<ref name=":3" /> In other words, the company's objective is to accelerate the world's transition to energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

=== What are the main offerings of the company? ===

The company's main offerings fall into two main segments: (1) automotive and (2) energy generation and storage.<ref name=":4" />

==== Automotive ==== 

The automotive segment includes the sales and leasing of electric vehicles as well as sales of automotive regulatory credits.<ref name=":4" /> Additionally, the automotive segment is also comprised of other services including non-warranty after-sales vehicle services, sales of used vehicles, retail merchandise, sales by the company's acquired subsidiaries to third party customers and vehicle insurance revenue.<ref name=":4" />

The main way that Tesla promotes the offering is through media coverage and word of mouth.

=== What's the current strategy of the company? ===

According to a blog post in 2016 in which the CEO of Tesla detailed the company's master plan<ref>https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-deux</ref>, the current strategy of Tesla consists of four milestones:

#Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage;
# Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments;
# Develop a self-driving capability that is 10x safer than manual, via massive fleet learning; and
# Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it.
It's worth noting that 10 years earlier, Elon detailed the company's first master plan<ref name=":9" />, and the company has managed to achieve all of the milestones, which were as follows:

#Build a sports car (i.e. the Tesla Model S);
#Use that money to build an affordable car (i.e. the Tesla Model 3);
#Use that money to build an even more affordable car (i.e. a cheaper version of the Tesla Model 3); and
#Provide zero emission electric power generation options (i.e. Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall and Megapack).

== Market==

===Total Addressable Market ===

Here, the total addressable market (TAM) is defined as the global automotive market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $3.0 trillion.

===Serviceable Available Market===

Here, the serviceable available market (SAM) is defined as the global car market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $1.0 trillion.

===Serviceable Obtainable Market===

Here, the serviceable obtainable market (SOM) is defined as the US car market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $262 billion.

== Competition==

===Automotive===

Tesla believes that its vehicles compete in the market both based on their traditional segment classification as well as based on their propulsion technology. For example, Model S and Model X compete primarily with premium sedans and premium SUVs, and Model 3 and Model Y compete with small to medium-sized sedans and compact SUVs, which are extremely competitive markets. Competing products typically include internal combustion vehicles from more established automobile manufacturers; however, many established and new automobile manufacturers have entered or have announced plans to enter the market for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles. Many major automobile manufacturers have electric vehicles available today in major markets including the US, China and Europe, and other current and prospective automobile manufacturers are also developing electric vehicles. In addition, several manufacturers offer hybrid vehicles, including plug-in versions. 

Tesla also believes that there is increasing competition for its vehicle offerings as a platform for delivering self-driving technologies, charging offerings and other features and services, and it expects to compete in this developing market through continued progress on its autopilot, full self-driving and neural network capabilities, Supercharger network and its infotainment offerings.

===Energy generation and storage===

====Energy Storage Systems====

The market for energy storage products is also highly competitive, and both established and emerging companies have introduced products that are similar to Tesla's product portfolio or that are alternatives to the elements of its systems. Tesla competes with these companies based on price, energy density and efficiency. Tesla believes that the things that give it a competitive advantage in its markets are: the specifications and features of its products, its strong brand and the modular, scalable nature of its energy storage products. 

====Solar Energy Systems====

The primary competitors to its solar energy business are the traditional local utility companies that supply energy to Tesla's potential customers. Tesla competes with these traditional utility companies primarily based on price and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by Tesla's solar energy systems. Tesla also competes with solar energy companies that provide products and services similar to it. Many solar energy companies only install solar energy systems, while others only provide financing for these installations.

|-
|What's the estimated current size of the total addressable market?
|$2,975,000,000
|Here, the total addressable market (TAM) is defined as the global automotive market, and based on a number of assumptions<ref group="Note" name="Note01" />, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $2.975 billion.
|-
|What's the estimated terminal annual growth rate of the total addressable market?
|3%
|Research shows that the growth rate of the global automotive market (i.e. the total addressable market) is similar to the growth rate of global gross domestic product<ref>http://www.robertpicard.net/files/econgrowthandadvertising.pdf</ref>, which has averaged (medium) around 3% per year in the last 20 years (2001 to 2022)<ref>https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/WLD/world/gdp-growth-rate</ref>.
|-
|What's the estimated company peak market share?
|10%
|Stockhub estimates that the peak market share of Tesla is around 10%, and, therefore, suggests using the share amount here. As of 31st December 2021, Tesla's current share of the market is around 1.8%.
|-
|Which distribution function do you want to use to estimate company revenue?
|Gaussian 
|Research suggests that the revenue pattern of companies is similar to the pattern produced by the Gaussian distribution function  (i.e. the revenue distribution is bell shaped)<ref>http://escml.umd.edu/Papers/ObsCPMT.pdf</ref>, so Stockhub suggests using that function here.
|-
|What is the estimated company lifespan?
|60 years
| Tesla employs around 110,000, making the company a large organisation (more than 10,000 employees), and research shows that the average lifespan of a large corporation is around 50 years.<ref>Stadler, Enduring Success, 3–5.</ref>
|-
|What's the estimated standard deviation of company revenue?
| 6 years
|Another way of asking this question is this way: within how many years either side of the mean does 68% of revenue occur? Based on Tesla's current revenue amount (i.e. $54 billion) and Tesla's estimated lifespan (i.e. 60 years) and Tesla's estimated current stage of its lifecycle (i.e. growth stage), the Stockhub company suggests using 6 years (i.e. 68% of all sales happen within 6 years either side of the mean year), so that's what's used here.
|-
| colspan="3" |'''<div style="text-align: center;">Growth stages</div>'''
|-
|How many main stages of growth is the company expected to go through?
| 4 stages
|Research suggests that a company typically goes through four distinct stages of cash flow growth.<ref>Levie J, Lichtenstein BB (2010) A terminal assessment of stages theory: Introducing a dynamic approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice 34(2): 317–350. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-6520.2010.00377.x</nowiki></ref> Research also shows that incorporating those stages into the discounted cash flow model improves the quality of the model and, ultimately, the quality of the value estimation.<ref>Stef Hinfelaar et al.:, 2019.</ref>



In addition, research shows that a key way to determine the stage which a company is in is by examining the cash flow patterns of the company.<ref>Dickinson, 2010.</ref> A summary of the economic links to cash flow patterns can be found in the appendix of this report. Stockhub estimates that with Tesla's operating cash flows positive (+), investing cash flows negative (-) and its financing cash flows positive (+), the company is in the second stage of growth (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth.

On 7th February 2022, Tesla said it currently expects: to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as it has done in the last four fiscal years; its capital expenditures to be between $5.00 to $7.00 billion in 2022 and each of the next two fiscal years; and its ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in its sales. Accordingly, based on forward looking statements, it appears that the company is in stage two of the business lifecycle  (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth remaining.

==Valuation==

===What's the expected return of an investment in the company?===

Stockhub estimates that the expected return of an investment in the company over the next five years is 72%. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £1,720 in five years time. The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.

Assuming that a suitable return level over five years is 10% per year and Tesla achieves its expected return level (of 72%), then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.

===What are the assumptions used to estimate the return?===

{| class="wikitable"

!Description 
!Value
!Commentary
|-
| Which valuation model do you want to use?
|Discounted cash flow 
| There are two main approaches to estimate the value of an investment: 
# By calculating the present value of the investment's expected future cash flows (i.e. discounted cash flow valuation); and
#By comparing the investment to other similar investments (i.e. relative valuation).

Research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or more, the approach that is more accurate is the discounted cash flow approach<ref name=":5">Demirakos et al., 2010; Gleason et al., 2013</ref>, so that's the approach that Stockhub suggests to use here; nevertheless, for completeness purposes, separately, the valuation of the company is also estimated using the using the relative valuation approach (the valuation based on the relative approach can be found in the appendix of this report).  

Tesla has never paid cash dividends, and on 7th February 2022, it said that it currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, Stockhub suggests using the free cash flow valuation method (rather than the dividend discount model). 
|-
|Which financial forecasts to use?
| Stockhub
|The only available long-term forecasts (i.e. >15 years) are the ones that are supplied by the Stockhub company (the forecasts can be found in the financials section of this report), so Stockhub suggests using those.

===Sensitive analysis===

The main inputs that result in the greatest change in the expected return of the Tesla investment are, in order of importance (from highest to lowest):   

#The size of the total addressable market (the default size is $3.0 trillion);
#Tesla peak market share (the default share is 10%); and 
#The discount rate (the default time-weighted average rate is 8%).

The impact of a 50% change in those main inputs to the expected return of the Tesla investment is shown in the table below.

===Relative valuation approach===
As noted earlier in this report, research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or more, the approach that is more accurate is the discounted cash flow approach, so that's the approach that Stockhub suggests using to determine the estimated value of the company (the valuation based on the discounted cash flow approach can be found in the valuation section of this report); nevertheless, for completeness purposes, separately, the valuation of the company is also estimated using the using the relative valuation approach.

====What's the expected return of an investment in Tesla using the relative valuation approach?====

Accordingly, Stockhub estimates that the expected return of an investment in Tesla Inc over the next five years is 4.4x. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £4,400 in five years time.  The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.

Assuming that a suitable return level over five years is 10% per year and Tesla achieves its expected return level (of 4.4x), then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.

====What are the assumptions used to estimate the return figure?====

|-
| Which type of multiple do you want to use?
| Growth-adjusted EV/sales 
| For the numerator, Stockhub believes that to account for the different financial leverage levels of its peers, it's best to use enterprise value (EV), rather than price. For the denominator, Stockhub believes that because it expects Tesla to reinvest almost all of its revenue back into the business  over the five year forecast period and therefore its earnings are expected to be abnormally low over the period, it's best to use sales. Accordingly, Stockhub suggests valuing its company using the EV/sales ratio. However, Stockhub feels that to take into account the different business lifecycle stages of its peers, the most suitable valuation multiple to use is the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple<ref group="Note" name="Note15" />, rather than the EV/sales multiple. 
|-
|In regards to the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple, for the sales figure, which year to you want to use?

|Year 5 
|Stockhub suggests that with sales forecast to grow exponential over the five year forecast period, it's best to use forward-looking data, rather than historic data.


In regards to the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple, for the sales figure, Stockhub suggests that in order to account for the forecasted exponential growth of the business, it's best to use one at the end of the forecast period (i.e. Year 5). 
|-
|In regards to the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple, for the sales growth figure, which year(s) do you want to use?
|Year 6 to 8, from now
|Stockhub suggests that for the sales growth figure, it's best to use Year 6 to 8.
|-
|In regards to the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple, what multiple figure do you want to use?
|89x
|In Stockhub's view, Tesla closest peer is [[Apple]]. [[Apple]] trades on a multiple of 89x.
|-
|Which financial forecasts to use?
|Stockhub
|The only available forecasts are the ones that are supplied by the Stockhub company (the forecasts can be found in the financials section of this report), so Stockhub suggests using those.
|-
| What's the current value of the Stockhub company?
|$688 billion 
|As at 21st May 2022, the current value of its company at $688 billion.
|-
|Which time period do you want to use to estimate the expected return?
|Between now and five years time
|Stockhub suggests that to account for general market cyclicity, it's best to estimate the expected return of the company between now and five years time.

=== Global greenhouse gas emissions by sector<ref name=":11">https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector</ref> ===

The 'energy use in industry' category relates to the energy used to manufacture products connected to the industry sector, such as iron and steel (7.2%), chemicals & petrochemicals (3.6%) and tobacco products and food processing (1%).

The transport category relates to the emissions generated from the 'powering' of transport activities. Note, the transport category does not include emissions from the manufacturing of motor vehicles or other transport equipment (those emissions are included in the ‘energy use in industry’ category).

According to the Global Change Data Lab charity, to reach net-zero emissions, there is no single fix; innovations across many sectors are needed<ref name=":11" />. For example, even if we could fully decarbonize our electricity supply, we would also need to electrify all of our heating and road transport.<ref name=":11" />

'''Bid-ask spread'''

The bid–ask spread is the difference between the prices quoted for an immediate sale (ask) and an immediate purchase (bid) for the investment. 

For example, if the price to buy an investment is $663.90 and the price to sell the investment is $663.89, the bid-ask spread of the investment is $0.01 (i.e.$663.90 minus $663.89). Converting the figure into percentage, the bid-ask spread is 0.0015063% (i.e. $0.01 divided by $663.90).

'''Investment risk'''

Research shows that an investment has two main types of risks: 1) non-systematic and 2) systematic. Systematic risk is the risk related to the overall market, and non-systematic risk is the risk that's specific to an individual investment. Evidence shows that taking on non-systematic risk is inefficient, and it's, therefore, best to eliminate it; and in most cases, elimination is fairy easy to do [by holding a diversified portfolio of investments (i.e. around 15 investments)]. Accordingly, when assessing the riskiness of an investment, it’s best to look at the systematic risk only (i.e. ignore the non-systematic risk). A key measure of systematic risk is beta, and a main way to determine the riskiness of an investment is to compare the beta of the investment with the beta of the market, which is 1. For example, Tesla's beta is 2.12, and is, accordingly, 112% above the market beta (of 1); assuming that a 'high' level of riskiness is 50% or more above the market beta, then the riskiness of investing in Tesla is considered to be 'high' (112%>50%).

'''Current ratio'''

The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures whether a firm has enough resources to meet its short-term obligations. It compares a firm's current assets to its current liabilities, and is expressed as follows:-

Current ratio = Current assets divided by current liabilities 

Acceptable current ratios vary from industry to industry and from business lifecycle stage.

'''Quick ratio'''

The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is a type of liquidity ratio, which measures the ability of a company to use its near cash or quick assets to extinguish or retire its current liabilities immediately. It is defined as the ratio between quickly available or liquid assets and current liabilities. Quick assets are current assets that can presumably be quickly converted to cash at close to their book values.

A normal liquid ratio is considered to be 1:1. A company with a quick ratio of less than 1 cannot currently fully pay back its current liabilities.

The quick ratio is similar to the current ratio, but provides a more conservative assessment of the liquidity position of firms as it excludes inventory, which it does not consider as sufficiently liquid.

'''Cash ratio'''

The cash ratio is a liquidity measure that shows a company's ability to cover its short-term obligations using only cash and cash equivalents.

The cash ratio is derived by adding a company's total reserves of cash and near-cash securities and dividing that sum by its total current liabilities.

The cash ratio is more conservative than other liquidity ratios because it only considers a company's most liquid resources.

A calculation greater than 1 means a company has more cash on hand than current debts, while a calculation less than 1 means a company has more short-term debt than cash.

'''Power purchase agreement'''

A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a contract between two parties, one which generates electricity (the seller) and one which is looking to purchase electricity (the buyer). The agreement defines all of the commercial terms for the sale of electricity between the two parties, including when the project will begin commercial operation, schedule for delivery of electricity, penalties for under delivery, payment terms, and termination.

'''Energy capacity'''

The energy capacity is defined as the ability of a material to absorb and store energy.

'''Kilowatt-hour''' 

The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy equal to one kilowatt of power sustained for one hour and is commonly used as a measure of electrical energy. One kilowatt-hour is equal to 3600 kilojoules (3.6 megajoules).

-The energy generation and storage segment includes the sales and leasing of solar energy generation and energy storage products and related services and sales of solar energy systems incentives.<ref name=":4" />
+|Model S Plaid
+|The acceleration of the car is 1.99 seconds.
-=====Current offerings =====
-======Energy generation and storage sales======
-'''Powerwall'''
-Powerwall is a energy storage system (i.e. a type of battery).<ref name=":4" /> What’s unique about the offering is that it's the lowest priced energy storage system that Tesla provides, selling at $10,500. The energy capacity of the product is 13.5 kilowatt hour (kWh). To help put the capacity into perspective, in 2020, the average household in the United States consumed 29 kWh per day.<ref>https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3#:~:text=How%20much%20electricity%20does%20an,about%20893%20kWh%20per%20month.</ref> So, if the average household is powered from Powerwalls only, then it will require around two Powerwalls to power the whole house, at an average annual cost of $2,247.
-[[File:Powerwall2.jpg]]
-'''Megapack'''
-Megapack is an energy storage system.<ref name=":4" /> What’s unique about the offering is that it's the largest energy storage system that Tesla provides, at 3.5 megawatt hour. To help put the energy capacity into perspective, each unit has enough energy to power an average of 3,600 homes for one hour. A single Megapack sells for $1,000,000.
-[[File:Megapack-CleanerGrid-D.jpg]]
-'''Solar Roof'''
-Solar Roof is a roof tile.<ref name=":4" /> What makes the tile unique is that it's the most aesthetically-beautiful, energy generation roof tile. In other words, it's the most beautiful roof tile that generates electricity.
-[[File:5c603e0d86d2c7c005d1df44a jVVOsV8.jpg]]
-For the average house in the US, the total cost of having the solar roof is $59,700, or around $3,078 per year over the expected lifetime of the roof (the key assumptions used to determine the expected cost can be found in the table below). To help put the cost into perspective, the average energy bill in the United States is $1,380 per year, so, at the moment, meeting the energy needs of the average US household using the Tesla Solar Roof is 2x more expensive than the alternative.

+|What's the top acceleration of the vehicle?
+| style="background: green; color: white;" |3.8 seconds
-Tesla believes that its vehicles compete in the market both based on their traditional segment classification as well as based on their propulsion technology. For example, Model S and Model X compete primarily with premium sedans and premium SUVs, and Model 3 and Model Y compete with small to medium-sized sedans and compact SUVs, which are extremely competitive markets. Competing products typically include internal combustion vehicles from more established automobile manufacturers; however, many established and new automobile manufacturers have entered or have announced plans to enter the market for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles. Many major automobile manufacturers have electric vehicles available today in major markets including the US, China and Europe, and other current and prospective automobile manufacturers are also developing electric vehicles. In addition, several manufacturers offer hybrid vehicles, including plug-in versions.
+| style="background: red; color: white;" |5.5 seconds

-The market for energy storage products is also highly competitive, and both established and emerging companies have introduced products that are similar to Tesla's product portfolio or that are alternatives to the elements of its systems. Tesla competes with these companies based on price, energy density and efficiency. Tesla believes that the things that give it a competitive advantage in its markets are: the specifications and features of its products, its strong brand and the modular, scalable nature of its energy storage products.

-====Solar Energy Systems====
+|Which design type is the vehicle?
+| style="background: orange; color: white;" |SUV (i.e. car)
-The primary competitors to its solar energy business are the traditional local utility companies that supply energy to Tesla's potential customers. Tesla competes with these traditional utility companies primarily based on price and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by Tesla's solar energy systems. Tesla also competes with solar energy companies that provide products and services similar to it. Many solar energy companies only install solar energy systems, while others only provide financing for these installations.

+=== What's the current strategy of the company? ===
-|'''Historic'''
-|'''Historic'''
+According to a blog post in 2016 in which the CEO of Tesla detailed the company's master plan<ref>https://www.tesla.com/blog/master-plan-part-deux</ref>, the current strategy of Tesla consists of four milestones:
-|'''Historic'''
-|'''Historic'''
+#Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage;
-|'''Historic'''
+# Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments;
-|'''Historic'''
+# Develop a self-driving capability that is 10x safer than manual, via massive fleet learning; and
-|'''Historic'''
+# Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it.
-|'''Historic'''
+It's worth noting that 10 years earlier, Elon detailed the company's first master plan<ref name=":9" />, and the company has managed to achieve all of the milestones, which were as follows:
-|'''Historic'''
-|'''Historic'''
+#Build a sports car (i.e. the Tesla Model S);
-|'''Historic'''
+#Use that money to build an affordable car (i.e. the Tesla Model 3);
-|'''Historic'''
+#Use that money to build an even more affordable car (i.e. a cheaper version of the Tesla Model 3); and
-|'''Historic'''
+#Provide zero emission electric power generation options (i.e. Tesla Solar Roof and Powerwall and Megapack).

+===Total Addressable Market ===
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+Here, the total addressable market (TAM) is defined as the global automotive market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $3.0 trillion.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+===Serviceable Available Market===
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+Here, the serviceable available market (SAM) is defined as the global car market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $1.0 trillion.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+===Serviceable Obtainable Market===

-|'''Forecast'''
+Here, the serviceable obtainable market (SOM) is defined as the US car market, and based on a number of assumptions, it is estimated that the size of the market as of today (30th May 2022), in terms of revenue, is $262 billion.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+== Competition==
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+===Automotive===
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+Tesla believes that its vehicles compete in the market both based on their traditional segment classification as well as based on their propulsion technology. For example, Model S and Model X compete primarily with premium sedans and premium SUVs, and Model 3 and Model Y compete with small to medium-sized sedans and compact SUVs, which are extremely competitive markets. Competing products typically include internal combustion vehicles from more established automobile manufacturers; however, many established and new automobile manufacturers have entered or have announced plans to enter the market for electric and other alternative fuel vehicles. Many major automobile manufacturers have electric vehicles available today in major markets including the US, China and Europe, and other current and prospective automobile manufacturers are also developing electric vehicles. In addition, several manufacturers offer hybrid vehicles, including plug-in versions.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+Tesla also believes that there is increasing competition for its vehicle offerings as a platform for delivering self-driving technologies, charging offerings and other features and services, and it expects to compete in this developing market through continued progress on its autopilot, full self-driving and neural network capabilities, Supercharger network and its infotainment offerings.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+===Energy generation and storage===
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+====Energy Storage Systems====
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+The market for energy storage products is also highly competitive, and both established and emerging companies have introduced products that are similar to Tesla's product portfolio or that are alternatives to the elements of its systems. Tesla competes with these companies based on price, energy density and efficiency. Tesla believes that the things that give it a competitive advantage in its markets are: the specifications and features of its products, its strong brand and the modular, scalable nature of its energy storage products.
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+====Solar Energy Systems====
-|'''Forecast'''
-|'''Forecast'''
+The primary competitors to its solar energy business are the traditional local utility companies that supply energy to Tesla's potential customers. Tesla competes with these traditional utility companies primarily based on price and the ease by which customers can switch to electricity generated by Tesla's solar energy systems. Tesla also competes with solar energy companies that provide products and services similar to it. Many solar energy companies only install solar energy systems, while others only provide financing for these installations.

+|$337,721
-|Research suggests that a company typically goes through four distinct stages of cash flow growth.<ref>Levie J, Lichtenstein BB (2010) A terminal assessment of stages theory: Introducing a dynamic approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship: Theory & Practice 34(2): 317–350. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1540-6520.2010.00377.x</nowiki></ref> Research also shows that incorporating those stages into the discounted cash flow model improves the quality of the model and, ultimately, the quality of the value estimation.<ref>Stef Hinfelaar et al.:, 2019.</ref>
+|$411,894
+|$487,157
-In addition, research shows that a key way to determine the stage which a company is in is by examining the cash flow patterns of the company.<ref>Dickinson, 2010.</ref> A summary of the economic links to cash flow patterns can be found in the appendix of this report. The Stockhub users estimate that with Tesla's operating cash flows positive (+), investing cash flows negative (-) and its financing cash flows positive (+), the company is in the second stage of growth (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth. Note, to account for one-off events, the three-year average (median) amount was used to calculate the cash flows.
+|$558,739
+|$621,448
-On 7th February 2022, Tesla said it currently expects: to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as it has done in the last four fiscal years; its capital expenditures to be between $5.00 to $7.00 billion in 2022 and each of the next two fiscal years; and its ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in its sales. Accordingly, based on forward looking statements, it appears that the company is in stage two of the business lifecycle  (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth remaining.

-==Risks==
-As with any investment, investing in Tesla carries a level of risk.  Overall, based on the Tesla's adjusted beta (i.e. 2.12), the degree of risk associated with an investment in Tesla is 'high'.
-Here, to estimate the adjusted beta, we used the iShares MSCI World ETF to represent the market portfolio; and in terms of the time period and frequency of observations, we used five years of monthly data (i.e. 60 observations in total), which is supported by a study and is the most common choice. The beta value in a future period has been found to be on average closer to the mean value of 1.0, and because valuation is forward-looking, it is logical to adjust the raw beta so it more accurately predicts a future beta. In addition, here, we have assumed that for an investment to be considered 'high' risk, it must have a beta value of 1.5 or more. Further information about the beta ratings can be found in the appendix section of this report.
+In addition, research shows that a key way to determine the stage which a company is in is by examining the cash flow patterns of the company.<ref>Dickinson, 2010.</ref> A summary of the economic links to cash flow patterns can be found in the appendix of this report. Stockhub estimates that with Tesla's operating cash flows positive (+), investing cash flows negative (-) and its financing cash flows positive (+), the company is in the second stage of growth (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth.
-The key risks can be found below. For us, currently, the biggest risk to the valuation of the company relates to the strong competition for its products and services from a growing list of established and new competitors (i.e. competition risk).
+On 7th February 2022, Tesla said it currently expects: to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as it has done in the last four fiscal years; its capital expenditures to be between $5.00 to $7.00 billion in 2022 and each of the next two fiscal years; and its ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in its sales. Accordingly, based on forward looking statements, it appears that the company is in stage two of the business lifecycle  (i.e. the 'growth' stage), and, therefore, it has a total of three main stages of growth remaining.

A key way to estimate the cost of equity by looking at the beta (or betas) of the company in question, the cost of debt from a measure of default risk (an actual or synthetic rating) and apply the market value weights for debt and equity to come up with the cost of capital.

+===Relative valuation approach===
-| style="color: red;" |-$3,232
+As noted earlier in this report, research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or more, the approach that is more accurate is the discounted cash flow approach, so that's the approach that Stockhub suggests using to determine the estimated value of the company (the valuation based on the discounted cash flow approach can be found in the valuation section of this report); nevertheless, for completeness purposes, separately, the valuation of the company is also estimated using the using the relative valuation approach.
-| style="color: red;" |-$1,432
-| style="color: red;" |-$2,319
+====What's the expected return of an investment in Tesla using the relative valuation approach?====
+Accordingly, Stockhub estimates that the expected return of an investment in Tesla Inc over the next five years is 4.4x. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £4,400 in five years time.  The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.
+Assuming that a suitable return level over five years is 10% per year and Tesla achieves its expected return level (of 4.4x), then an investment in the company is considered to be a 'suitable' one.
+====What are the assumptions used to estimate the return figure?====

+| Growth-adjusted EV/sales
-| --
+| For the numerator, Stockhub believes that to account for the different financial leverage levels of its peers, it's best to use enterprise value (EV), rather than price. For the denominator, Stockhub believes that because it expects Tesla to reinvest almost all of its revenue back into the business  over the five year forecast period and therefore its earnings are expected to be abnormally low over the period, it's best to use sales. Accordingly, Stockhub suggests valuing its company using the EV/sales ratio. However, Stockhub feels that to take into account the different business lifecycle stages of its peers, the most suitable valuation multiple to use is the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple<ref group="Note" name="Note15" />, rather than the EV/sales multiple.

-As noted earlier in this report, research suggests that in terms of estimating the expected return of an investment over a period of 12-months or more, the approach that is more accurate is the discounted cash flow approach, so that's the approach that Stockhub suggests using to determine the estimated value of the company (the valuation based on the discounted cash flow approach can be found in the valuation section of this report); nevertheless, for completeness purposes, separately, the valuation of the company is also estimated using the relative valuation approach.

-Accordingly, Stockhub estimates that the expected return of an investment in Tesla Inc over the next five years is 4.4x. In other words, an £1,000 investment in the company is expected to return £4,400 in five years time.  The assumptions used to estimate the return figure can be found in the table below.

-| For the numerator, the Stockhub users believe that to account for the different financial leverage levels of its peers, it's best to use enterprise value (EV), rather than price. For the denominator, the Stockhub users believe that because it expects Tesla to reinvest almost all of its revenue back into the business  over the five year forecast period and therefore its earnings are expected to be abnormally low over the period, it's best to use sales. Accordingly, the Stockhub users suggest valuing its company using the EV/sales ratio. However, the Stockhub users think that to take into account the different business lifecycle stages of its peers, the most suitable valuation multiple to use is the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple<ref group="Note" name="Note15" />, rather than the EV/sales multiple.

+=== Global greenhouse gas emissions by sector<ref name=":11">https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector</ref> ===
+The 'energy use in industry' category relates to the energy used to manufacture products connected to the industry sector, such as iron and steel (7.2%), chemicals & petrochemicals (3.6%) and tobacco products and food processing (1%).
-In regards to the growth-adjusted EV/sales multiple, for the sales figure, Stockhub suggests that in order to account for the forecasted exponential growth of the business, it's best to use one at the end of the forecast period (i.e. Year 5).
+The transport category relates to the emissions generated from the 'powering' of transport activities.

-|The asset’s beta measures its market or systematic risk, which in theory is the sensitivity of its returns to the returns on the “market portfolio” of risky assets. Concretely, beta equals the covariance of returns with the returns on the market portfolio divided by the market portfolio’s variance of returns. In typical practice for equity valuation, the market portfolio is represented by a broad value-weighted equity market index. The asset’s beta is estimated by a least squares regression of the asset’s returns on the index’s returns.
+|Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use
-In the typical case in which the equity risk premium is based on a national equity market index and estimated beta is based on sensitivity to that index, the assumption is being made implicitly that equity prices are largely determined by local investors. When equities markets are segmented in that sense (i.e., local market prices are largely determined by local investors rather than by investors worldwide), two issues with the same risk characteristics can have different required returns if they trade in different markets.
-The opposite assumption is that all investors worldwide participate equally in set- ting prices (perfectly integrated markets). That assumption results in the international CAPM (or world CAPM) in which the risk premium is relative to a world market portfolio. In practice, the international CAPM is not commonly relied on for required return on equity estimation.
-For estimating the required return on the equity using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, in terms of time period, and frequency of observations, the most common choice is five years of monthly data, yielding 60 observations. One study of U.S. stocks found support for five years of monthly data over alternatives. An argument can be made that the 2 years, weekly data can be especially appropriate in fast growing markets.
-The beta value in a future period has been found to be on average closer to the mean value of 1.0, the beta of an average-systematic-risk security, than to the value of the raw beta. Because valuation is forward looking, it is logical to adjust the raw beta so it more accurately predicts a future beta.
-The figure here is taken from Yahoo Finance (https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?p=AAPL&.tsrc=fin-srch), on 16th September 2022.

-|Equity risk premium (%)
+|Rice cultivation
-|{{#lst:Template:Regional weighted average equity risk premium|Global weighted average equity risk premium}}
+|1.3%
-|The equity risk premium is the incremental return (premium) that investors require for holding equities rather than a risk-free asset (e.g., government bills or government bonds). Thus, it is the difference between the required return on equities and a specified expected risk-free rate of return. The equity risk premium, like the required return, depends strictly on expectations for the future because the investor’s returns depend only on the investment’s future cash flows.
+|Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use
-Note: the definition of risk-free asset used in estimating the equity risk premium should correspond to the one used in specifying the current expected risk-free return.
-Typically, analysts estimate the equity risk premium for the national equity market of the issues being analyzed (but if a global CAPM is being used, a world equity premium is estimated that takes into account the totality of equity markets).
-'''Historical estimates'''
-A historical equity risk premium estimate is usually calculated as the mean value of the differences between broad-based equity-market-index returns and government debt returns over some selected sample period. When reliable long-term records of equity returns are available, historical estimates have been a familiar and popular choice of estimation. If investors do not make systematic errors in forming expectations, then, over the long term, average returns should be an unbiased estimate of what investors expected. The fact that historical estimates are based on data also gives them an objective quality.
-In using a historical estimate to represent the equity risk premium going forward, the analyst is assuming that returns are stationary—that is, the parameters that describe the return-generating process are constant over the past and into the future.
-'''Forward-looking estimates'''
-Because the equity risk premium is based only on expectations for economic and financial variables from the present going forward, it is logical to estimate the premium directly based on current information and expectations concerning such variables. Such estimates are often called forward-looking or ex ante estimates. In principle, such estimates may agree with, be higher, or be lower than historical equity risk premium estimates. Ex ante estimates are likely to be less subject to an issue such as non-stationarity or data biases than historical estimates. However, such estimates are often subject to other potential errors related to financial and economic models and potential behavioural biases in forecasting.
-Here, the equity risk premium is in relation to the global region, and is calculated as at 1st January 2022 (<nowiki>https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/New_Home_Page/datafile/ctryprem.html</nowiki>).

-=== Global greenhouse gas emissions by sector<ref name=":11">https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector</ref> ===
-The 'energy use in industry' category relates to the energy used to manufacture products connected to the industry sector, such as iron and steel (7.2%), chemicals & petrochemicals (3.6%) and tobacco products and food processing (1%).
-The transport category relates to the emissions generated from the 'powering' of transport activities. Note, the transport category does not include emissions from the manufacturing of motor vehicles or other transport equipment (those emissions are included in the ‘energy use in industry’ category).
-According to the Global Change Data Lab charity, to reach net-zero emissions, there is no single fix; innovations across many sectors are needed<ref name=":11" />. For example, even if we could fully decarbonize our electricity supply, we would also need to electrify all of our heating and road transport.<ref name=":11" />
