Tesla (TSLA) will release its first-quarter earnings tomorrow, April 22, after markets close. The Elon Musk-run company is heading into the confessional as one of the worst S&P 500 Index ($SPX) stocks, with a year-to-date drawdown of over 40%.
Tesla is the first constituent of the “Magnificent 7” to report its quarterly earnings – a group it is underperforming badly this year. While such massive underperformance ahead of earnings usually sets the stage for a “positive surprise,” it is hard to be bullish on TSLA stock ahead of its Q1 report.
