In the wake of the U.S. presidential election results, Tesla (NASAQ: TSLA) shares experienced a significant uptick, reflecting investor optimism tied to political developments. The electric vehicle giant saw its stock rise over 15% in pre-market trading on November 6, 2024, following the announcement of former President Donald Trump as the winner of the 2024 U.S. elections in a historic victory.

The market’s response was largely driven by idea that Trump’s policies could favor Tesla, especially given the relationship between Trump and Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk.

Tesla Stock Soars on Donald Trump Victory

Tesla’s stock performance was notably robust, closing at $251.44 on Tuesday and trading at approximately $289.17 on Wednesday’s premarket trading session at the time of writing (6:20 AM EST), up over 14%. This substantial increase was fueled by the anticipation of potential benefits under Trump’s administration, which investors speculated could provide favorable conditions for Tesla.

Despite this recent surge, Tesla has lagged behind the broader market this year, with only a 1.19% increase compared to the S&P 500’s 21.24% year-to-date gains. The market’s positive reaction was not limited to Tesla; Trump’s own media company saw a 30% rise in stock price, while futures for the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 index also experienced gains.
Elon Musk’s endorsement of Donald Trump throughout the election campaign played a pivotal role in shaping investor sentiment. Musk’s support was underscored by a $75 million donation to a political action committee backing Trump.

In return, Trump promised to appoint Musk as chairman of a government efficiency commission, a move that could potentially lead to significant budgetary savings. This relationship between Musk and Trump has been seen as a potential boon for Tesla, as Trump’s policies might align with Musk’s vision for the company.

The election results, which confirmed Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States with 277 electoral votes, had a sweeping impact on various markets. While some key states were still pending results, the election outcome prompted significant market activity. Bitcoin, for instance, soared to $75,000 amid the election buzz, and Dow futures rose by over 1000 points.

Tesla’s Financial Health Remains Strong

Tesla’s recent financial metrics paint a picture of a company poised for growth. With a market capitalization of $807.14 billion and a profit margin of 13.08%, Tesla’s financial health remains strong. The company’s return on equity stands at 20.39%, indicating robust profitability. Analysts maintain an “overweight” rating on Tesla, with a strong buy recommendation, reflecting confidence in the company’s future performance.

Despite the challenges of underperforming the broader market this year, Tesla’s long-term returns remain impressive, with a five-year return of over 1,088%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500’s 87.86% gain over the same period.
