Tesla posts unexpected positive free cash flow in Q3, while profits remain under pressure
💵 Tesla reported $1.53 billion in free cash flow, against expectations for a $4.92 billion outflow. Capital expenditure of $4.73 billion, well below the roughly $7.5 billion forecast, helped support the result.
📊 Adjusted EPS reached $0.48, beating estimates of around $0.45. However, revenue was nearly flat at $28.05 billion, while operating income fell 56% from a year earlier to $718 million.
🔎 Positive cash flow gives Tesla more financial flexibility, but does not yet establish a sustained business recovery. Maintaining cash generation as spending on AI, robotaxis and Optimus increases will be a key focus in the coming quarters.
