In the history of companies that have existed, I think it’s fair to say that there has never been a stock that has divided public opinion so intensely. You either hate Tesla, or absolutely love them. And this has led them to being both one of the most shorted stocks in history, and at the same time, has driven their stock price to over a trillion dollars. Yup, a trillion.

Some people say Tesla is the biggest organized scam that has ever existed, some say it’s the most innovative and important company on the planet. But regardless of whether you hate or love the company and it’s eccentric billionaire CEO, Elon Musk, you need a framework to assess whether they are over or undervalued.

For this episode, we summarized Aswath’s Damodaran’s 3 major views on what you need to keep in mind before investing in Tesla. Aswath is a professor at NYU and an extremely well renowned investor. And every year, he conducts a valuation of what he feels Tesla’s stock price should be, and could be in the future, based on their most recent earnings report. Here’s what he keeps in mind while valuing Tesla.

Btw, stay tuned right to end, where we share the actual price that Aswath values Tesla at, and whether he thinks it’s currently a good buying opportunity.
