Tesla reports third-quarter earnings after the bell on Wednesday.
The electric vehicle maker’s revenue is projected to grow from the third quarter of 2022. Net income, however, is expected to take a hit, according to analysts surveyed by FactSet.
During the third quarter, Tesla’s global deliveries increased 26.5% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the company reported below-expectation quarterly sales numbers earlier this month. Tesla said earlier this month that it was still expecting 1.8 million vehicle deliveries for the full year in 2023.
Continued price cuts for the company’s Model 3 and Model Y vehicles and the Cybertruck are expected to be of particular interest during the call with investors and analysts on Wednesday.
Tesla’s stock has surged around 125% year to date after falling sharply in 2022 alongside other growth stocks.
