That's just a "the stockmarket can't possibly be wrong" argument, but the stockmarket has often been wrong.
Tesla is overvalued. That's blatantly obvious if you look at the data. There's no justification for Tesla's insane market cap other than hype or corruption.
I do, but I wonder if you do. Toyota is far, far more valuable than Lamborghini. Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world, and with a market cap of $269B, the second most valuable after Tesla.
Lamborghini is not independent, but owned by Volkswagen, as part of their Audi group, and all of those brands put together have a market cap of $58B.
Your argument is not a justification for Tesla's high market value; quite the opposite.
You took the wrong message from what I said.
The stock market isn’t “wrong” - it’s the stock market. Tesla is worth what the stock market says it is, quite literally. Hype, corruption……yeah, that’s the stock market.
You can’t just take “hype” out of the stock market because that’s one of the biggest, most essential parts of it.
By that argument nothing is ever overvalued because apparently that's what the stockmarket says it's worth. But crashes still happen.
They’re valued at whatever people will pay for them.
That doesn't mean that value is reasonable, though. The stockmarket has a rich history of hysteria and irrationality.
It doesn’t have to be reasonable, it just has to be what the stock market values it at. That’s how valuations work.
Are your unaware that you are arguing towards a tautology? "It's not overvalued because this is what it's valued". That's meaningless.
If the assets, profits and projected growth do not justify the current valuation, it's overvalued. That's the case for Tesla.
