Investopedia.Com reports that analysts expect Tesla to post $27.35 billion in revenue for Q4 that ended on December 31. The company is expected to report a net income of $2.33 billion, or 66 cents per share. In the same quarter last year, Tesla recorded $25.17 billion in revenue and $7.93 billion in net income.

Citing Visible Alpha, the website quotes nine "buy," six "hold," and three "sell" ratings for the stock.
