Tesla's stock has seen an 18% market return over the past year, but how does this stack against peers rapidly scaling in the evolving EV landscape? As of 11/24/2025, TSLA exhibits strong free cash flow (7.15% margin) and operating margins (5.09%) compared to many traditional automakers. However, its LTM revenue growth turned negative (-1.56%), contrasting with some peers' positive growth and recent reports of a return to double-digit revenue growth in Q3 2025 after a sluggish first half. Furthermore, TSLA's lofty 265.44 PE ratio suggests a premium valuation that could limit upside if growth challenges persist amidst intensified competition and analyst concerns about the stock being "untethered from fundamentals".
TSLA's 5.1% operating margin, above peers but below PCAR's 11.4%, implies lower pricing power or efficiency.TSLA's -1.6% LTM revenue growth, behind GM, F, RIVN but above PCAR, OSK, shows slowing EV demand.TSLA's 18.5% stock gain and 265.4 PE, despite stronger peer returns, indicates high growth expectations.
