Morgan Stanley cuts TSLA target, remains positive
In response to Tesla’s weak Q1 deliveries report, Morgan Stanley analysts reduced their target price on the stock to $310 from $320.
“Tesla’s weak 1Q update is a clear sign of the ongoing EV ‘shakeout’ phase,” analysts noted.
However, the Wall Street behemoth maintained an Overweight rating on Tesla stock, highlighting the company’s “significant attributes to be valued as an AI beneficiary.”
Still, they note that the company first needs to address and stabilize the current trend of negative earnings revisions within its automotive segment.
“We do not believe Tesla will get credit as an AI company as long as core auto earnings are being revised down. This process may take a few more quarters to see through, over which time our $100 bear case may be ‘in play’,” said Morgan Stanley’s team.
