Michael Tyler“if the war with Iran ends next week, Tesla is going to be a fantastic stock to own. Tesla's going to do very, very well.”
Thesis at the time
MixedThe speaker believes Wall Street is underestimating Tesla's long-term growth, particularly once Optimus scales, but is cautious about buying more shares right now because Tesla's near-term price action is tied to broader market and geopolitical risk (the Iran war) rather than company fundamentals. He is holding off on deploying significant capital until there is more clarity on the macro picture.
Key arguments
- Wall Street's 20% revenue growth estimates for Tesla are too low; Optimus could drive ~100% revenue growth in a few years
- Tesla has been trending higher and holding support at its 20-day moving average, outperforming other sectors recently
- Tesla is less directly affected by oil price and geopolitical tension than other sectors
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Tesla is not immune to a broader market crash if the Iran war escalates
- Near-term stock price moves are driven by liquidity, Fed policy, and geopolitics, not fundamentals
