Tesla Stock & The Coming Stock Depression.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone me Kevin here we got to
talk about Tesla why because well we
have serious fears in fears Insurance in
the market that we have two major phases
of Market contraction phase number one
is when we just see prices collapse
because price to earnings ratios are
collapsing and that's okay that's
something healthy that happens but phase
two of a recession could be an earnings
recession and this is when we actually
see consumer demand hurt to the point
where people are spending less money on
goods and services as a result companies
show lower top line revenue and lower
net revenue a simple example that I
regularly like to use of course this
video is going to be about Tesla but a
simple example that I regularly like to
use is if you look at the last of Nike
earnings you see that we had tremendous
growth during the pandemic and not a
surprise people buying shoes working out
from home whatever getting workout
clothing you name it but what do we have
in the last earnings report we have a
year-over-year comparison of Revenue
that is down one percent and net
earnings that's down five percent
compared to last year now if you have
that for two quarters or more in a row
you tend to be in an earnings recession
and that oftentimes comes with big old
analyst downgrades and as EPS goes down
at the same time as multiples went down
in the first part of the market crash
well what ends up happening you end up
getting low you end up getting lower
growth expectations and lower premiums
for stocks which in English stocks go
down it's not great in a recession
stocks suffer a lot now there are
however some companies that potentially
could survive an earnings recession and
one of those companies in my opinion is
Tesla and I'm going to explain briefly
why I have that thesis in this video
along with some new information on Tesla
but at first I want to talk to you about
this valuation argument because every
time I bring up Tesla as an investment
people say oh my gosh how could you
invest in Tesla it's so overvalued and
then I like to ask oh you know would you
invest in Apple or would you invest in
Microsoft right now no it's pretty big
names and most people who think that
Tesla is overvalued onto me and say yeah
I mean apple and Microsoft are great
companies so one of my favorite metrics
is the PEG ratio and this is a ratio of
how much money you're paying for growth
this is really important because rather
than just looking at the share price of
let's say a thousand dollar stock
divided by their earnings of say twenty
dollars then you get a price to earnings
ratio of 50. we're now going to take
that 50 and actually compare it to the
growth and if earnings let's say
earnings are a dollar are going to a
dollar and fifty year over year that's a
50 growth rate divide that 50pe by the
growth rate what do you have you have a
peg of one when we do this math with
Tesla we actually get a 2022 PEG ratio
of 1.41 and a 2023 ratio of one anything
under two generally means you're getting
a decent deal for growth anything under
one is just absolutely phenomenal or at
one is is even more phenomenal now if
you look at Apple you have a pig ratio
of
3.8 and if you look at Microsoft you're
over two so when you look at a PEG ratio
where you're actually taking the price
to earnings ratio and you're dividing
that by the growth of earnings you
actually have an extremely in my opinion
well-valued company of course it creates
risk factors the biggest risk factor is
what if that growth slows down growth
slows down then obviously the PEG ratio
goes up and that's one of the big themes
is what if growth slows down and that's
something that we got to talk about
because things are changing in China
delivery weights are now down to one
week in China this is happening at the
same time as Tesla Giga Shanghai is
expanding substantially in fact we're
now expecting 100
000 cars to be delivered out of Giga
Shanghai this is actually incredible
because we've generally been delivering
around 70 000 vehicles per quarter and
now I'm sorry per month okay this is a
per month figure we're gonna go from in
the 70 000 per month to a hundred
thousand vehicles per month this is
phenomenal but because of the pain the
Chinese consumers experiencing in China
Chinese consumers still saving
substantially more remember back in
January we were saying wow the Chinese
consumer is saving four times as much
money as they were last January and we
know the Chinese are very very smart
people especially when it comes to
savings and cash what did you end up
with well basically now a pretty bad uh
recession if not depression in China I
don't I don't really believe that their
GDP is actually still going to be 3.5
this year I think that's nonsense I
think they're negative but we'll never
hear that uh but anyway so obviously
we've got lockdowns in consumer fear in
China but the big issue that we have
with Tesla is what if Tesla manufactures
more vehicles but then doesn't have more
buyers and China is about to be our
first test of that because as we're
expanding and we're seeing wait times go
down which unfortunately is something we
saw happen at Peloton right wait times
came down then prices came down and then
all of a sudden the stock fell 90 right
that's scary if your demand evaporates
you're screwed now do we think that
potentially could happen with Tesla well
of course of course that could
potentially happen with Tesla in fact
Tesla is reportedly giving Insurance
subsidies to get people to buy Teslas in
China of course they've got other
competition like byd and Neo over in
China but most of in my opinion the
reason why we're seeing lower wait times
in China is both a combination of the
fact that we're producing way more cars
but also because well China's uh having
a little bit of a depression okay all
right that's just between you and me all
right I don't want the CCP coming after
me but anyway
the good news is the United States
economy could potentially desire to
absorb those chinese-made Vehicles now a
lot of chinese-made vehicles used to be
exported to Germany but now we've got
Berlin ramping up and maybe we don't
necessarily need as many of those
Vehicles going over to Europe because
we've got Giga Berlin to provide local
production the big issue in my opinion
will be is if Chinese vehicles or
chinese-made Teslas are sitting around
waiting for buyers that's going to lead
to price drops and we already know that
China's production is the highest margin
but let's ship these cars instead of
maybe to Europe or locally within China
get them to the United States and bring
those wait times down as we go through
this recession we expect both margin to
go down and the amount of outstanding
buyers available in the buyer pool to go
down we do hope that as wait times start
approaching maybe one to two weeks we
hope that more buyers start coming to
Tesla which may not happen right that's
a risk factor but we hope that more
buyers come to Tesla because a lot of
people when they want to buy a car they
don't want to wait three months or six
months in fact if you look at wait times
in America right now if you want the
long range model 3 it's not even
available for sale because the wait
times are so long that they have
canceled people's ability to actually
pre-order that vehicle in America not
only that but the model 3 currently has
a delivery expected time frame of
October to December that's at least four
weeks but potentially months the model Y
which in my opinion is the best value
for a Tesla has a delivery process or
time frame of December to April and
again I think that's the best of value
car now you're still going to have
people though that say you know what
look I just don't want to buy a car
during a recession personally I think
that's smart I mean when I talk to
people daily when we do our fundamental
analysis in the course member live
streams uh linked down below by the way
there's a coupon code C that expires
soon this month so make sure you get
that before prices go up but when we're
in these fundamental live streams people
ask me like hey should I be buying a car
right now and I hate to say it but no
you shouldn't be buying a car in this
market right uh no I don't think I can
single-handedly you know hurt Tesla's
Market here obviously I'm really heavily
invested in Tesla and while I am
becoming a licensed financial advisor
I'm not your financial advisor so I
can't give you personal advice I can't
tell you what to do but look I'm heavy
on Tesla because I think that we are
going to have continued survival in
earnings and continued demand I'm
starting with the risk factor because if
the if the demand wanes we're going to
see earnings go down and Tesla will end
up just like Nike with negative growth
and if we end up having negative growth
that PEG ratio goes out the window and
instead you have a company that actually
is overvalued so what are the odds of
that well in my opinion fortunately very
very low and they're very simple reasons
for that first shout out to Troy test
like on Twitter for providing us some
expectations he's usually pretty dang
accurate with his expectations uh we
believe that in quarter three Tesla will
deliver 369
000 units that is higher than the 310
000 units we had in January and it's
certainly higher than that summer
slowdown we had of 254 000 when Shanghai
was locked down that is growth folks
that's really really good growth in fact
that is about a 20 delivery growth in a
quarter that is third quarter compared
to first quarter but we expect to go all
the way to 461
000 Vehicles by Q4 that's a hundred
fifty thousand Vehicles more that's 50
more than in q1 it's not even a
year-over-year comparison it's like a
three-quarter comparison which is really
really incredible so fun nominal growth
rate on the actual deliveries we've got
to keep those earnings High though when
that unfortunately filters through
margins fortunately though Elon has been
suggesting that we're starting to see
commodity prices which is obvious I mean
we know iron and copper and a lot of
these commodity prices are plummeting we
know that because we can just look at
them uh but he's even been mentioning
this on Twitter so we could even see
price drops at Tesla to re-motivate
demand which would be very good while
still maintaining margins so there's
definitely a buffer there sort of
somewhat of a margin of safety uh but we
are this is a little bit of a downside
for the first time uh in in really
certainly in the last two years uh which
in my opinion really means ever we are
seeing Tesla's order backlog start to
decline now this is expected in a
recession remember what I've always said
I've always said that in a recession you
would expect a man to just plummet like
30 for Teslas but if outstanding demand
is 35 you could lose 30 percent still
maximize your production and still grow
earnings even through a recession and
unfortunately I just don't think there
are many companies that you can invest
in during this particular recession we
are going through where you're actually
going to see earnings keep going up up
and up in fact the housing market is
already turning we know that we talk
about that in the zero to millionaire
real estate investing course but not
only is that already turning we are
seeing home good retailers like
Furniture retailers and Appliance
retailers according to the Wall Street
Journal this morning start laying people
off because they see demand slowing
because of slowing housing sales this is
exactly what you would expect but a
house market is slowing down it's why
I'm launching the startup house hack
which if you're an accredited investor
this is not a solicitation where you can
go to househype.com to learn more about
investing with me at house hack and I'm
working on the non-accredited version so
if you're not accredited don't worry I'm
still thinking of you well also later
today be doing a live stream for house
hack that'll be at 4 pm so stay tuned
for that uh but we are at about 102 days
of production
that's about three months a little more
than three months I really believe and
that backlog will grow obviously as wait
time shrink I believe as long as we can
keep an order back it doesn't have to be
a big bag
or order backlog as long as we can
maintain well as for at least the next
year
I think Tesla is not going to end up
being in an earnings recession like most
companies and people are actually going
to end up looking at Tesla as a safety
play because they're going to look and
go dang Apple's in an earnings recession
Nike's in a Rings or session what the
heck Tesla one of the largest market cap
companies in the market could end up
actually looking at like a safety play
Imagine That going from thinking that
Tesla might be overvalued to a value
play well maybe I shouldn't say value
but I should say safer play hashtag no
guarantees because don't sue me bro
