Stock prices are more about growth potential than existing size. Tesla is valued more than Volkswagen because it is expected to be bigger in the future (or VW is expected to be smaller in the future, or a mix of both). We’ve been through this before with tech stocks, and the enthusiasm for future growth has shown to be often correct, and also often incorrect. Playing the market is a bit crazy like that.
