Is Tesla Overvalued? ‘Dean Of Valuation’ Aswath Damodaran Weighs In | Trading Nation | CNBC

He is a Teacher, not a Trader. He lays out the foundation for you to build upon the valuation. Whether or not you succeed (with your prediction / valuation, whatevs) it's beyond the equation. Other factors matter too. Don't bad mouth him.

I'm sure you guys have no idea what he means. When you look at Uber, Uber is a fast growing company. But what makes Uber able to expand this quick? Is its business model. Uber doesn't own any plant, any real asset. Once Uber captures a market, they can just replicate the same model into other different markets without making any capex. But tesla is a manufacturing business. It needs to spend money on plants, machinery and the resembling line. IT TAKES TIME!!! You can build these stuff gravity-defying. And you see tesla have a tradition of missing its production targets.

So aswath doesn't mean tesla is a failure or something. He wants to point out the fact that tesla has so much works to achieve for proving itself worth that much.

now 2019, time to buy TSLA! Model 3 and Y are selling like crazy, this company is big enough for mature investors.

[limitless]

"for me market timing has never worked"
soo true, when i see people putting trend lines and moving averages and this and that and bla bla bla on charts
it makes me laugh 😵

[kinnuarmy]

Video reminds No one understand the market ...all are gamblers but play by their own book

[jerryfeng]

No disrespect to Aswath, but does he have an actual track record of investing that we can analyze? I've never actually seen or heard of any fund run by him. What he says would have ton more weight if he had a track record.

Eyyy Professor Damodaran!!!! Love this man

[KrK-EST]

Is this person real ?
TESLA is not just a "Auto Maker" they are also a
solar/renewable solutions, new age electric grid solutions, autonomous driving tech, manufacturing robotics
Company!
In all of them they are driving the technology foward (the most advanced tech on these fields).
Even half baked autonomous driving tech company was sold for 0, 7 bil last year.

TESLA = Many companies

[swarajnayak]

2020, tesla stock breached 1000 $ and is still climbing.

[biplabkumarghosh]

Now the world's most valuable automaker

[rwg]

I just love how market analysts have no idea how to deal with or in fact understand Tesla, take them out of the conventional ways that company’s work and they are lost at sea

[iammm]

lets see who has no pant 1 year later that tesla hit 190-200 range.

[TheRamnath]

Listening to all this now in 2021, doesn't make sense. Everything is only raising, especially on Tesla front. At the end of the day, it is a manf company values as a tech company

[MStone-hijb]

People have been saying TSLA is overvalued for some time now. People will be looking back at TSLA like people now look back at AMZN when they "just sold books."

[wildreams]

This is not simply an "interesting" view. This is THE bull thesis all along.

The new method is the gigafactory.

[Zhengwenbo]

3 years later, we are still overvalued. We are all-time high 1/3 of time.

[kalashshchina]

why not take money out of the stock market and buy real estate notes or perhaps russian bonds. Not sure what they are yielding now but they were yielding over 10 percent I believe.

[leohernandez]

Tesla is amazing, and will pull of the revenue and production required to be a 300 dollar stock.
with that being said at this very moment they are not worth 300. therefore for now it would be a pretty decent short, as we have already started to see it come off its all time highs.

[soravulpis]

It is overvalued. When Tesla fails to hit Model 3 production and delivery targets, there'll be a decent correction. If Model 3 bombs, adios Tesla.

[Ascanius]

The whole of the DJIA is WAY over valued, crash will come SOON
