October 24, 2024

Tesla surprised investors with an optimistic forecast, projecting a 20-30% growth in vehicle sales for 2024, which drove a 12% surge in the company’s shares in after-hours trading. CEO Elon Musk’s announcement relieved investors, who had been concerned about Tesla’s robotaxi rollout after a lackluster debut earlier this month. The company’s confidence in its core electric vehicle business, supported by lower production costs, soothed fears about market challenges.

In the third quarter of 2024, Tesla’s vehicle production costs fell to a record low of $35,100, which helped expand profit margins to 17.05%, exceeding analysts’ expectations. This cost efficiency and growth in autopilot software adoption helped the company boost earnings despite recent price cuts in the competitive electric vehicle market.

Tesla’s third-quarter adjusted profit stood at 72 cents per share, beating Wall Street’s average estimate of 58 cents. The company delivered 1.29 million vehicles in the first nine months of 2024 and needs to deliver just over half a million more by year-end to surpass its previous record.

Musk’s projection of driverless cars offering paid rides by next year, and Tesla’s efforts to enhance production efficiency, have positioned the company well for continued growth despite challenges in the EV market. Tesla remains committed to expanding its lineup with more affordable models expected by 2025, focusing on AI and production investments.

Although the market remains cautious about sustaining these high margins in the final quarter of the year, Tesla’s third-quarter performance and optimistic outlook have sparked renewed investor confidence.

Additionally, four new projects have brought in $1.8 billion in investments, boosting the total capital inflows within the zone. These developments were discussed in a meeting with Mohamed Zaki El Sewedy, Chairman of the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), and other officials from various chambers of commerce.

Strengthening Industrial Ties And Opportunities

The meeting focused on expanding investment prospects, fostering collaboration, and addressing challenges faced by industrial firms with strong export potential. A key objective was to encourage businesses to scale up their operations within the SCZone, leveraging its prime location, advanced infrastructure, and investor-friendly policies.

El-Din stressed the importance of the SCZone in driving Egypt’s economic growth and industrial transformation, citing the Ain Sokhna Integrated Industrial Zone as a flagship example of development. This zone is a testament to Egypt’s growing presence as a competitive global manufacturing hub.

The continued partnership between the SCZone and the private sector, El-Din noted, plays a pivotal role in building a strong ‘Made in Egypt’ brand, supporting local industrial development, and boosting innovation to improve Egypt’s position in global markets.

Acknowledging Achievements And Future Collaboration

El Sewedy praised the SCZone for its efforts in creating a robust investment climate, offering comprehensive services, incentives, and cutting-edge infrastructure. This meeting marked the beginning of a deeper collaboration between the SCZone and FEI, setting the stage for future joint initiatives.

Egypt’s Economic Outlook

Egypt’s economy is projected to grow by 4% in the year leading up to June, bolstered by supportive measures from the IMF, according to a Reuters poll conducted in January 2025. The poll also forecasts a GDP growth acceleration to 4.7% in 2025-26 and 5% in 2026-27.

However, the country’s GDP growth slowed to 2.4% in 2023-24, down from 3.8% in the previous year, primarily due to the ongoing currency crisis and the geopolitical impact of the war in neighboring Gaza, according to the Central Bank of Egypt.
