Verdict: Miss
Tesla verfehlte den Non-GAAP-EPS-Konsens deutlich: Der tatsächliche Non-GAAP-EPS für Q2 2026 lag bei 0,33 USD/Aktie – weit unter dem Konsens von ~0,47 USD (Zacks) bzw. 0,52–0,54 USD (TipRanks/TradingKey). Das entspricht einem Miss von ca. 39 % gegenüber der mittleren Schätzung. Hauptursachen: Operating Profit brach um 57 % ein, die Einnahmen aus Regulatory Credits kollabierten, die Automotive-Bruttomarge (ex. Reg. Credits) lag mit 16,3 % unter den erwarteten ~17 %, und die Capex stiegen um 142 % auf 5,79 Mrd. USD, was zu negativem Free Cash Flow (–1,09 Mrd. USD) führte. Auf der Umsatzseite hingegen gab es einen klaren Beat: 28,24 Mrd. USD Rekordumsatz vs. ~26,4 Mrd. USD Konsens (+26 % YoY).

Bitcoin at $78,136 (September 9, 2026). Kalshi markets assign ~83% probability of BTC touching $100,000 at any point in 2026. Polymarket gives BTC 68% odds to close above $90,000 by year-end. A year-end close above $100,000 (not just a touch) is more demanding: median year-end contract estimates imply ~$81,000. Arguments for >$100k close: historical Q4 seasonality (+49% in Q4 2024, +56% in Q4 2023), ETF inflows, institutional demand. Headwinds: active Fed hiking cycle (~3.75% current funds rate), 10yr yield at 4.86%.
