Tesla five-year return below peak

Dean Baker highlights that Tesla's share price is currently 10% lower than its peak in October of 2021, resulting in a -10% return for stockholders over five years, given the company pays no dividends.

Baker comments that, despite these returns, investors have followed the company's high-profile leadership closely.

Baker has previously questioned the practicality of reducing the U.S. deficit with $100 billion from tariffs in his article on tariff revenue and the federal deficit. He also reported on a sharp rise in the U.S. trade deficit in July, noting political commentary around the figures in a separate analysis. Both pieces reflect his ongoing focus on major economic indicators and policy debates.
