Markets these days are increasingly difficult to analyze. This conclusion is adjacent to the fact that there is an increase in the number of complex variables that affect a company. All these changes are contributing to a lower understanding of the market and it is not possible to estimate with much certainty, the future of a company and of the market itself. One of the biggest revelations of our century is the technology markets. The big question that arises is how technology markets will evolve in such a versatile and exhausting environment and which companies will thrive in such a complex environment. In light of this question, we set out to analyze an emerging company in the technology sector, in order to give the public an overview of the technology market and an insightful contribution to investment decision making in the sector. The chosen entity was Tesla. This is a company that had a tremendous growth in recent years, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world. This paper seeks to explain the history of this company and its position in the market, helping in the decision-making process for a more conscious investment. Based on the results achieved, we have grounds to issue an opinion on whether the company is, in fact, a good long-term investment or whether the valuation of the company's shares is being distorted by speculation, resulting from the fact that Tesla is recognized as a new trend.
