Tesla's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Tesla manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities. At present, Tesla's Return On Tangible Assets are projected to increase slightly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Return On Assets is expected to grow to 0.15, whereas Return On Capital Employed is forecasted to decline to 0.11. At present, Tesla's Total Assets are projected to increase significantly based on the last few years of reporting. The current year's Non Current Assets Total is expected to grow to about 47.8 B, whereas Intangibles To Total Assets are forecasted to decline to 0.
The company currently holds 5.23 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 0.14, which may suggest the company is not taking enough advantage from borrowing. Tesla Inc has a current ratio of 1.43, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Tesla until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Tesla's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Tesla Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Tesla to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Tesla's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

The market value of Tesla Inc is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Tesla that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Tesla's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Tesla's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Tesla's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Tesla's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Tesla's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Tesla is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Tesla's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
