Let's Go, Bakken; Two New Permits; BR Renews Eleven Permits -- October 20, 2021


Jim Cramer:

  • coined the acronym, "FANG" or "FAANG"
  • tonight he coins the term TAN: three companies that billionaire bears said would "go to zero"; he was fired up tonight;
    • Tesla
    • Amazon
    • Netflix

IBM: missing on revenue; barely beats EPS

  • EPS: $2.52 vs $2.50
  • revenue: $17.62 vs $17.77
  • growth in cloud much slower than expected
  • shares down about 4% after-hours;

CSX: beats; link here;

  • EPS: 43 cents vs 38 cents
  • earnings: $968 million vs $736 million in same period last year;

On tap, next: Tesla earnings. Forecast: $1.59 / share. Earnings should be announced momentarily, any time after 3:00 p.m. CT. Conference call not until 4:30 p.m. CT -- in other words, the "after-market" has ninety minutes to react to earnings prior to conference call. Link here.

Chip shortage or not, it looks like Tesla’s Q3 results are going to be quite impressive despite some supply chain issues that are pervasive in the market.

Tesla is set to report after the bell on Wednesday, and expectations are for $1.3 billion in profit for Q3—up from the paltry $331 million that the electronic vehicle manufacturer reported in Q3 2020.

Tesla’s Q3 revenue is expected to hit between $13.6 billion and $14.116 billion, up from $8.8 billion in Q3.

Tesla already reported at the beginning of October that even though the carmaker had supply chain challenges, it managed to deliver a record number of vehicles for the quarter. At 241,300 vehicles delivered, this is a record for Tesla, and it surpassed most analysts’ expectations, representing a 20% increase quarter on quarter.

Elon Musk had anticipated a 50% increase in the number of cars delivered in 2021 by more than 50% over last year’s half a million. And it looks like Tesla will easily beat that, delivering 627,000 in the first nine months of the year.

Tesla, actual: huge beat -- record revenue, record earnings --

  • revenue; $13.76 billion vs $13.63 billion
  • EPS: $1.86 vs $1.59
  • automotive gross margins: 28.8% vs 24.7
  • shares up very little after hours; flat; now a bit negative after hours; maybe investors were looking for better revenue numbers?

  1. Get the Indian head Sign Rt. 200 N.D. Ready for next year. It goes through Killdeer could be a quieter and gentler Dallas in 50 years.

    1. Wouldn't that be awesome, if we needed the ND Highway 200 sign to reflect the price of oil? LOL.

      For those that don't know, North Dakota Highway 200 runs from Minnesota to Montana across the entire state of North Dakota.
