Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)

TSLA is a low-cost Stock. Fund total return is 22682.7% over the past 16.1 years, 21806.8 points ahead of SPY at 875.9%.

Tesla, Inc. is an individual equity stock focused on designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling electric vehicles, along with energy generation and storage systems and related services across automotive, energy, and services segments. As a single-stock holding rather than a diversified fund, it carries no distribution payments, making it unsuitable for income-focused investors seeking regular dividend payments. This equity holding appeals primarily to growth-oriented investors seeking capital appreciation rather than current income generation.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns

Distribution rate (the posted rate) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as “Distribution Rate” on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. We show a 30-day SEC yield when the fund publishes one. Schwab and other issuers may report a TTM distribution yield or SEC yield on a different date — all can be valid; they are not interchangeable. Fund total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is what the fund did, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of August 21, 2026.
