Tesla earnings beat views late Wednesday. Tesla stock turned lower as CEO Elon Musk spoke on the earnings call.

Tesla's profits were up from this time last year. But the company warned investors to prepare for expensive investments in next-generation technology like humanoid robots and AI.

Tesla Inc. beat Wall Street’s profit expectations to start the year as the automaker said demand for its electric vehicles is rebounding around the globe

Tesla's Q1 2026 earnings beat was built on one-time warranty and tariff benefits, stretched supplier payments, and new debt — all while deliveries missed and growth stalled.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has delivered an earnings beat for the first quarter, with profit beating Wall Street estimates and revenue growing year-over-year. The EV-maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.

Despite these pressures, Tesla posted a surprise positive free cash flow of $1.44 billion, defying expectations for a cash burn of $1.43 billion. The result suggests the company has yet to fully ramp up spending tied to its aggressive expansion plans in artificial intelligence and manufacturing capacity.
