Tesla misses Wall Street expectations on revenue, earnings per share in second quarter earnings
Briefly

Tesla's second quarter earnings reveal a challenging period, with revenue at $22.5 billion, down 12% year-over-year, marking the largest decline in a decade. Adjusted earnings per share fell to 40 cents, below forecasts. The revenue decline is largely due to decreased vehicle deliveries and price competition in the electric vehicle sector. Operating income decreased to $923 million, underperforming against estimates. Despite these setbacks, Tesla is focusing on next-generation technologies and future ambitions, which seems to resonate with investors despite current challenges.
