Tesla reported its fourth quarterly profit in a row Wednesday, positioning the electric-car maker as a leader in an auto sector that has struggled during the pandemic, and clearing the way for the stock to join the S&P 500. For the second quarter of 2020, Tesla made $104 million in net income on more than $6 billion in revenues. That beat forecasts by Wall Street analysts who had anticipated a loss of nearly $250 million and revenues of $5.4 billion.
Based on some calculations, approximately 20% of the outstanding Tesla stocks will have to be purchased by those index funds trailing SnP500 and they can purchase it anytime before or after SnP announces that Tesla will be included in the index.
There is also quite alot of shorts opened (people betting against Tesla) against Tesla (approx $20 billion) which means if market pumps today, those shorts trader will have to buy back some Tesla shares to exit their positions.
Therefore, i'm quite bullish on Tesla for this short period time and although it is overvalued if you look at their market cap compared to their profits, market forces in the trading market will push this stock up for the time being.
