Shares of Tesla Inc TSLA rose 10.20% on Tuesday, marking the best intraday session since late April.
The much-needed boost comes as the stock is down 17.35% over the past year and 6.93% year-to-date.
Tesla Q2 Delivery Beat Ignites Rally
Tesla’s impressive Q2 performance, reporting 443,956 deliveries, significantly exceeded the expected 439,000 vehicles. This surprise upside fueled a rally, propelling shares toward their 2024 high. The majority of sales came from the affordable Models 3 and Y, with only 21,551 units from the pricier Models X, S and the new Cybertruck.
Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives hailed the quarter as a “huge comeback” for Tesla and CEO Elon Musk. Despite negative sentiment due to choppy EV demand and concerning registration data from Europe and China, Tesla defied expectations.
Ives emphasized Tesla’s positioning as an AI and robotics innovator rather than just a car manufacturer.
