Wall Street is holding onto its outlook on Tesla after it delivered a solid earnings report that nevertheless showed weaker margins after the company's aggressive price cuts. The electric vehicle maker reported revenue of $24.93 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $24.47 billion, according to Refinitiv. "We believe this was a solid 2Q report with Tesla taking market share and slightly exceeding our automotive non-GAAP margin estimate (and beating in Energy/Services)," Delaney said Wednesday. "However, we believe there could continue to be margin headwinds in the intermediate term if Tesla lowers prices to support higher volumes."
