Tesla’s explosive share-price rise has made it the hottest technology story of the year for the luxury electric vehicle maker, but its stock level is waiting to “fold” the “houses of cards”, a Wall Street strategist said.
This is according to David Trainer, CEO of investment research firm New Constructions.
He told CNBC’s “Trading Nation” last week: “We think this is a big, big – one-of-a-kind – houses of cards that are getting ready to fold.”
“Whatever Tesla wants to portray the best situation for what it has to do – even if they produce 30 million cars in the next 10 years, and come into the insurance business and have high margins like Toyota, the most” always functional car company, “he said. “Even if you believe it all to be true, the share price indicates that the profit will be even greater than that.”
Assuming a current selling price of 57,000 cars and 10.9 million cars sold by 2030, Tesla’s market share is only 42%, Trainer said.
In the last year alone, Tesla’s stock has risen nearly 800% and forward earnings are estimated at 159 times. Its shares were trading around 4% on the last day in Frankfurt at 327.45 euros (7 387.54). The US Exchange is closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
Last week proved to be a volatile week for the company.

The stock closed its% low on Friday, closing with a brutal take-sell on Thursday, the fourth straight day of its decline, including a %% decline, keeping all three major Wall Street indices low.
Shares of the company fell as much as 6% on Wednesday after Bailey Gifford, the company’s largest shareholder, cut its stake in the company due to internal rules limiting the weight of one share of the client portfolio.
The trainer said Tesla’s stock split, which occurred last week, is dangerous for new investors.
“Honestly, I see the stock split as a way to lure more sensitive, less practical traders to try to just chase this stock and that’s not a real strategy,” he said.

While Trainer praises Tesla CEO, Elon Musk for turning electric vehicles into more mainstream, the company’s weak fundamentals mean it won’t touch the stock.
The trainer said: “Tesla does not rank in the top 10 in market share or car sales in Europe for EVs and that is because the laws in Europe have changed which has encouraged the cranking of Parliament and electric vehicles.”
“The same thing is happening in the United States. I think in reality we would be talking about $ 500, not વાસ્તવિક 500 as the real value.”
The S&P 500 added three names to its index this month, but did not add Tesla, although it was widely expected to make the world’s most expensive car manufacturer cut.
