Tesla jumps 6.9% on 1.76x average volume even as analysts cut EPS estimates heading into earnings
Tesla surged 6.86% on April 15 on 113.2M shares — 1.76x its 20-day average — creating a sharp divergence between price momentum and deteriorating analyst estimates. Three downward EPS revisions in the past 7 days with zero upward revisions, and a current-quarter consensus that has slipped from $0.40 thirty days ago to $0.38, suggest the rally is running against the grain of fundamental analyst sentiment ahead of the Q1 earnings print.
