This stream is coming down.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

It was down 44% year over year in the third quarter.

And looking through the financial report, it says it only expects $877 million in the regulatory credits over the next 12 months.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

Now, just for perspective, over the last three full years, it's generated...

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

credit revenue of 2.8 billion, 1.8 billion, and 1.8 billion in 2024, 2023, 2022, respectively.

So expecting less than a billion over the next 12 months, that's actually quite a significant downtrend, and it's going to continue on.

I believe it's 2027, they expect no regulatory credit revenue.

And this is basically pure profit.

So it's consequential to the business.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

Yeah, I think that's a really good thing for our listeners to be watching for.

How does that business hold up now as the whole credit scene is changing?

And that really does change some of the dynamics of electric vehicles.

But also, hey, keep an eye on what the company is doing with its newer initiatives, because it's definitely ramping up the spending on the R&D to have those payoffs.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

So we'll see how that plays out in coming quarters.

After the break, we're going to talk stocks on our radar with a little bit of a twist.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

Okay, so it's Thursday, the Thursday podcast, and we usually hit some stocks on our radar.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

And I thought, Matt, this would be fun just to do it a little bit differently.

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing
Tesla’s Margins Face Headwinds

I saw a report that showed that counterintuitively, stocks that were dropped from the S&P 500...

Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing

actually wind up outperforming the S&P 500 over the next five years.

And you wouldn't expect that.
