What this score means

What this number means

A SWOTPal Stability Score of 36/100 places Tesla in the stressed (below 60). The score measures financial stability — the company's capacity to absorb shocks across credit and macro cycles — not stock-price upside or competitive moat. Higher = more stable.

Where the score concentrates

Tesla's profile is uneven: Solvency scores 19/25 while Valuation scores only 4/25. Read the dimension cards above for the underlying ratios driving each score.

What the score doesn't capture

The Stability Score is purely quantitative — it doesn't include regulatory action, governance changes, product-execution risk, or geopolitical exposure. For Tesla, those qualitative dimensions are covered in the full SWOT analysis. The numeric score and the SWOT are designed to read together.

Methodology summary

Each dimension contributes 0–25 points. Metric scores are assigned by threshold-based cutpoints applied to public financial data. The score does not capture regulatory, governance, product, or geopolitical risk — only quantifiable financial signal.
