Tesla: The MOST Dangerous Stock.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me kevin here all right
office is still a mess but i owe you an
update on a tesla tesla had absolutely
phenomenal earnings this week and it's
actually
down on the week well we've got to talk
about this and why i believe that if it
weren't for the federal reserve this
entire month tesla would have already
surpassed
sixteen hundred dollars per share this
month
it obviously hasn't but let's talk about
where my thesis is and my response to
the folks who say tesla is just an
extremely overvalued company it's a dumb
company to invest in and it's way too
risky
let's talk about that because i think
it's way too risky not to invest in
tesla
okay folks first this is not financial
advice these are my opinions second most
companies have a single product or line
of products that are extremely
innovative and useful to customers for
example take adobe we love adobe adobe
premiere adobe photoshop adobe lightroom
but once you acquire customers with an
amazing product and you grow for many
years in a row what do you do once
you've acquired them well you try to
prevent people from leaving to different
services like maybe going to final cut
on the mac and no longer using premiere
or whatever
well at the same time maybe the company
will continue to update their software
to minimize people leaving and providing
more competitive elements but really at
some point after you grow after you have
your first sort of blow up your
exponential growth like oh my gosh
everybody's using pdfs remember pdfs are
a creation of adobes
you get this big growth curve it almost
seems exponential but because of the law
of large numbers exponential can't go on
forever with businesses so you tend to
have a leveling off this is what we call
the s-curve
slow growth at the beginning of a
business exponential growth at the boom
of a product or service and then a
capping out
and to add growth you end up having to
add new types of businesses like
analytics for ads something that adobe
is doing and that's great it is now
helping adobe achieve a wall street
forecasted average growth rate
of 12
for the next five years
its projected earnings this year are
13.7 dollars which means at 408 dollars
per share its closing price today april
22nd here
adobe sells for 30 times earnings simple
all we did there is divide the price
by
13.7 cents or 70 cents of earnings boom
you get 30. that's a multiple it's a p
ratio it's like a gross rent multiplier
or
once you get down the line more like a
net
rent multiplier but don't worry so much
about that for those real estate folks
they'll know what i mean when i say grm
now another cool thing that you could do
though
is you can take this growth rate we're
going to do this with tesla as well
that the company's growing at which is
12
and actually divide the multiple that
you're paying for the company uh by the
growth growth rate so if you take 30
times earnings that the company's
selling for right now and divided by the
growth rate you get the peg ratio in
this case that would be 2.19
approximately because you're dividing 30
by a growth rate of about 12. okay makes
sense
now this is also when most people look
at the chart of a company like adobe and
say oh adobe i'm paying about 2.19 in
terms of a peg ratio 30 times 2022
earnings it's down 27.5 this year to
date if you go out 12 months it's down
20 so in other words it's been on a
large downtrend and some folks might
look at this and say hey here's an
opportunity to buy adobe at a discount
but wait a minute
discount to what a euphoric stock market
or is there some spectacular new
innovative growth coming to adobe see
here you're buying a falling stock with
a 30 times earnings rate and a peg ratio
of 2.19 thanks to the 12
growth rate so you're investing in adobe
for 12 growth and you're paying 30 times
earnings for that okay
these folks might then also think well
using similar metrics here if we just
look at price to earnings tesla is
ridiculously overvalued i mean trillion
dollar company for an auto manufacturer
that seems crazy
and this is unfortunately where most
investors completely misunderstand
stocks margins and tesla see tesla has
phenomenally high margins and margins
that are shockingly growing during
inflationary times imagine when we don't
have inflation and how much margin
expansion we could get we thought 30
percent in margins could be good but
when we get things like the cyber truck
we might actually be knocking on the
door of 35 to 40 margins but forget
about that for men forget about the fact
that the company is becoming much more
efficient than any car company to have
ever existed before tesla today almost
entirely is a car manufacturer and at
this point if we stack up the numbers of
tesla versus adobe we find that tesla
has an earnings per share of an estimate
of about 15.9 this year
at a thousand dollars that means it's
trading for about 63 times earnings
that's more than twice adobe's valuation
right seems like a rip-off like adobe
was trading for 30 times earnings why am
i paying 63 times earnings for tesla
kevin do you just proved yourself it's a
rip-off
well you're going to miss the boat if
you're not already thinking what i'm
thinking but before i tell you what i'm
thinking in my response we've got a
message from a great sponsor today here
it is thank you today's sponsor

quickly and easily with a custom plan i
always talk about how important your
credit score is to real estate investing

estate
well
score master not only allows you to
easily and quickly boost your score but
you can protect it as well don't wait to
start building your credit go check out
scoremaster in the link in the
description down below to get my special
pricing okay so i left off mentioning
that adobe is selling for about 30 times
earnings and tesla is selling for 63
times earnings which makes it seem like
you're paying almost well actually a
little bit more than two times the
valuation for tesla as you are adobe
right because you know they're selling
for uh a pe of about 30 and the tesla's
right around 60 63.
but wait a minute adobe's growing at 12
how does that compare to tesla ah well
tesla is actually growing at more than
50 percent
if you believe what elon said and that's
average over the next five four to five
years unless of course all of a sudden
consumers decide they hate teslas that
would be a big risk factor right if if
consumers all of a sudden decided they
hate
teslas i promise you this tesla will
crash faster than a model s plaid
carrying netflix's earnings
that's really bad but wait a minute
sixty percent growth is literally five
times the growth of adobe for only twice
the price so you're getting five times
the growth
for
twice
the price
and you're paying a peg ratio of about
one
because again you take that pe ratio
2022pe of about 60 to 63 divided by the
growth rate of the 60 that's about one
so
you're paying twice the price to get
five times the growth you're getting
less than half on the peg ratio this
actually in terms of a growth stock
makes tesla bargain
that makes tesla at least two and a half
times more attractive than adobe now
some folks might disagree with that
again if people stop buying tesla cars
you've got a big problem but now we've
got to think about the s-curve of demand
for tesla because see tesla is more than
just a vehicle manufacturer it's really
a holding company if you think about it
there are four major other s-curves that
we haven't even talked about and i'm not
even considering the cyber trucker semi
truck no no those are all part of the
cars businesses it's all part of the big
five businesses the cars and the four
others think about the big businesses
they have number one cars
duh
high margin cars high quality cars some
of the safest cars to ever exist on the
road
that's number one and everybody wants
one
number two full self-driving chips
ai and autonomy it's almost like an and
i know this sounds a little crazy but it
won't be crazy in the future i expect
it's almost as if tesla has its own
qualcomm and nvidia in its portfolio
that it's holding that's because tesla
makes incredible chips in-house they're
not making chips for you to play video
games or for you to play you know with
bitcoin
they're a chip maker to learn real world
artificial intelligence to train neural
nets and to make our cars more efficient
use less power react quicker better
faster and
of course
more efficiently than ever before
see they're an ai developer and a chip
maker if you want chips to mine again
you know bitcoin or you just want a
regular ai developer and chip developer
i think in the future nvidia and
qualcomm are going to be great companies
maybe at some point in video with their
partnership with lucid will bring out
some form of lane keep assist they have
a partnership so we'll see
but see tesla's not just a car company
it's a car company and a chip company
and an ai company that's business one
and business two think of business three
a battery and energy company
they're making their own supply
number four they're an insurance company
one of uh warren buffett's greatest home
runs
at least as told by his uh
biography warren buffett and the
snowball of wealth
one of his greatest home runs was going
heavy in on geico early
and you might think bo but it's it's too
late for tesla right
i don't think so because then you've
even got business number five robotics
and i think an easy way to visualize
this and how impactful uh these s-curves
could really be in the future is is
really by understanding
the power of being a battery maker
and an ai developer
and a robotics manufacturer we think
that the car business is everything
that's it you know once the car
businesses you know hits the top of its
growth curve it's over for tesla
let's see the beautiful thing is and i
saw this from uh value analyst
number one on twitter this is somebody
that i met uh at the uh
rodeo parties in austin texas cool guy
take a look at this folks i think you'll
like this
what we're so used to as the s-curve
is right here this is your electric
vehicle s-curve
now i might disagree with the size of
some of these but what tesla is is
actually a company that has compounding
s-curves and right now you're only
paying for this green section right here
that's what you're paying for you're
paying for the green that means you're
getting fsd and robo-taxi
for free that's the self-driving the fsd
the chip side right
that means you're getting a battery
manufacturer potentially even here in
the future a lithium miner we'll see
what elon ends up pulling out of his hat
you're getting an energy company
essentially for free but look at the
biggest of the s curves that's almost
like investing in the best possible
robotics startup ever folks
ai robots it's not just manufacturing
robots that test like in
seller license it's the future of
robotics in our homes the optimus
these are the things that you're betting
on with tesla you're not just betting on
electric vehicles and quite frankly
even if you were betting on electric
vehicles tesla is two and a half x more
attractive than adobe thanks to its
phenomenal growth perspective again if
you don't believe in the growth
perspective don't invest in tesla
because we can't yet value fsd robo taxi
because we just haven't seen it full
scale although i watch fsd videos every
day and i know it's getting better and
better and better one day i'll get an
invite to fsd
we know the battery business is getting
better and better and better and they're
probably the folks over at tesla are
probably some of the most brilliant
minds for battery engineering and then
of course that optimus robot so
long story short i'm really happy i am
super heavy in on tesla and
all of this nonsense right now with the
federal reserve is creating a delicious
short-term buying opportunity
we'll see on the other side of this
madness
and your goal is
not financial advice how many tesla
shares can you stack up
see the next one bye
