Ahead of second-quarter financial results, a Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) analyst says investors aren't focused on earnings, but rather what comes next after Tuesday's report.
The Tesla Analyst: Guggenheim analyst Ronald Jewsikow reiterated a Sell rating on Tesla and $134 price target.
The Analyst Takeaways: Investors will be focused on what comes next for Tesla and not the past earnings, Jewsikow said.

The analyst said Tesla delaying the robotaxi event from Aug. 8 will be top of mind for investors.
"With the planned 8/8 event now formally delayed, investors will look for color on the new timeline, what to expect at the event and more details on the delay," Jewsikow said.
The delay in the Robotaxi event has led to investors seeing the segment as less actionable, according to the report.
The analyst said 2024 volume guidance could also be a key item to watch in the earnings report.
"We don't believe guiding for y/y volume growth is realistic, but we do not see CEO Elon Musk indicating negative volume growth as his forecast."
China and market share in the country could also be a key focus in the earnings report, the analyst said.
"How does TSLA return to growth with so much competitively priced product in China?"
The analyst expects Tesla to beat earnings per share estimates and miss on automotive gross margins (ex-credits) due to "large discounting actions."
Jewsikow currently ascribes no value to robotaxis, robots, artificial intelligence or insurance when forecasting a price target on Tesla.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares are down 1% to $249.25 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $278.98. Tesla stock is up 0.3% year-to-date in 2024, after gaining over 30% in the past month, as seen on the Benzinga Pro chart below.

這位分析師表示,特斯拉將機器人出租車活動從8月8日推遲將是投資者的首要考慮。
Jewsikow說:“由於計劃中的8月8日活動現已正式推遲,投資者將在新的時間表上尋找色彩,在活動中會發生什麼,以及有關延期的更多細節。”
報告稱,Robotaxi活動的延遲導致投資者認爲該細分市場的可操作性較差。
這位分析師表示,2024年的交易量指引也可能是收益報告中值得關注的關鍵項目。
“我們認爲銷量同比增長的指導是不現實的,但我們認爲首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克沒有像他的預測那樣表示銷量負增長。”
這位分析師表示,中國和該國的市場份額也可能成爲收益報告的重點。
“TSLA如何在中國憑藉如此多價格具有競爭力的產品恢復增長?”
分析師預計,由於 “大規模折扣行動”,特斯拉的每股收益將超過預期,汽車毛利率(不計貸項)。
在預測特斯拉的目標股價時,Jewsikow目前不重視機器人出租車、機器人、人工智能或保險。
