Tesla income statement

The dataset for the Tesla income statement is called income_statement.

This dataset has a final column called Trailing Twelve Months (TTM), which is the most recent 12 months of data available. We will use this to calculate a 2018 forecast for Tesla.

We are only interested in the rows 'Revenue', 'Gross profit', 'Total operating expenses', and 'Net income', so we'll create a filtered income statement to only show these rows. The filtering code uses the following pattern.

dataframe[dataframe.columnname.isin(list_of_categories)]
