According to NASDAQ, Tesla Motors Inc. ( TSLA ) will be a part of the NASDAQ
-100 Index and the NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index before the market opens o
n Jul 15. Tesla will replace technology giant Oracle Corporation ( ORCL ) on
the NASDAQ-100. Oracle will move its stock listing to the New York Stock Ex
change.
The NASDAQ-100 Index includes 100 largest domestic and international non-fin
ancial securities listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange based on market capita
lization. Currently, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based leading manufacturer of ele
ctric vehicles and electric vehicle powertrain components has a market cap o
f $14.4 billion.
Tesla's elevation to the NASDAQ-100 Index reflects the company's outstanding
stock performance in the recent past. The stock nearly tripled this year.
Following the announcement, shares of Tesla Motors hit a new 52-week high o
f $125.32 yesterday, which was above its previous level of $122.18 a day bef
ore, and closed at $123.45. The closing price represented a whopping one-yea
r return of 292.0% and year-to-date return of 249.1%. Average volume of shar
es traded over the last three months stood at approximately 9,671.0K.
Shares of TSLA started escalating following the release of its surprising 20
13-first quarter results on May 8. The company posted its first-ever quarter
ly profit of $15.4 million, or 12 cents per share, on an adjusted basis, in
the first quarter of 2013 compared with a loss of $79.3 million or 76 cents
in the corresponding quarter of 2012. This indicated a whopping positive ear
nings surprise of 271.4% given the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 7 c
ents for the quarter.
Revenues jumped manifold to $561.8 million from $30.2 million in the first q
uarter of 2012, thanks to the impressive 5,000 units of Model S electric car
sales during the quarter.
In May, TSLA also paid off the remaining $465 million U.S. Department of Ene
rgy (DOE) loan much earlier than expected. The electric carmaker received th
e loan in Jan 2010 and agreed on a 10-year repayment program. However, the c
ompany repaid the full outstanding amount of the loan in the second installm
ent itself.
Last December, Tesla made its first DOE loan repayment of nearly $13 million
. On May 22, the company paid off the remaining $451.8 million using the nea
r-$1 billion proceeds from the common stock and convertible senior note offe
ring made last week.
In May, Tesla also came up with a surprise announcement of adding more super
charging stations across the U.S. that are 10 times faster than the ordinary
public charging stations. This could boost demand for its electric cars. TS
LA plans to increase the number of charging stations threefold from 9 to 27
by the end of next month, which could further rise to 100 by the end of next
year.
By 2014, Tesla plans to install charging stations within reach of 80% of peo
ple in the U.S. and Canada, and 98% by 2015. With this, the company intends
to provide supercharging stations every 80 to 100 miles.
Electric cars have always been criticized for limited driving range leading
to their weak demand. This led to limited sales of vehicles such as Nissan M
otor 's ( NSANY ) Leaf and General Motors ' ( GM ) Volt. However, Tesla's br
eakthrough plan of adding more charging stations would surely give it a comp
etitive edge over rival automakers.
Currently, shares of Tesla retain a Zacks Rank #3, which implies a short-ter
m (one to three months) Hold rating.
