- Tesla is in unknown territory Now it appears to have abandoned his invincible aura. The punter finds himself in the dark about the stock outlook, and Morgan Stanley tells his client that he could just as easily reach $800 in the coming months as the price could drop to $200.
Later last month, Simon Hale landed in hot water with Wellington Altus’ private wealth compliance department. With a keen rally at Tesla, his EV giant holdings were far too valuable compared to a Montreal-based institutional investor-controlled portfolio, which required trimming to diversify risk.
“That’s not the problem anymore,” Hale told fellow investors during an online discussion last week. Shares beaten over the past two weeks just popped another 15% in one session, and the difficulties were resolved if the portfolio manager hadn’t lifted his fingers.
CEO Elon Musk attempts to replicate Argentine President Javier Milei Cutting government spending on the chainsaw, like his emphasis on Germany’s far right, sparked a wave of protest across the US AFD party.
Masks are about to meet now Morale of his army. However, the repulsion was very intense. It is unclear whether stocks will be able to recover the aura of uncertainty they first won following stratospheric gatherings in the 2020s, when CEOs can quickly silence doubts with bold predictions.
It has led to a decline in sales, violent protests, petty vandalism and even total arson.
Along the way, Tesla has now fallen 9% since Election Day, first starting a fierce rally to hit a record high in mid-December, with 46% since Trump took office.
Musk fans regularly convenes to share information about Tesla on his X platform, but these recent PEP talks sound like a group therapy session where small shareholders are sure to find the right reasons why board directors, including Chairman Robin Denholm, buy more shares at prices where they already sell the group. 100 million dollars recently.
After that, Hale listened to the boom in others: Jewish Investors He was putting pressure on him to sell their Tesla stocks.
“They really didn’t like what happened in terms of salute,” he confessed. “I’ve heard this over and over again from wealthy and European clients. Elon supports AFD.”
“Tesla’s shame” means that you feel the slump is different this time
In a way, it’s all familiar to you, as Tesla investors were here before.
After the acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, the price fell to $100 per share as Musk could potentially cover losses at social media companies by liquidating Tesla stocks.
This time last year, this time it was a second heavy drop after it was fully revealed that Tesla was a growth stock that actually stopped growing.
But every time a mask calms the collective nerves and allows you to place the floor under the price.
First, he promised to be selling Tesla stocks until 2024 (the pledge he held), but then he accelerated the timetable for the launch of a new entry-level model to meet investor demands (ju-describers haven’t yet been released).
There is a lot of concern now, not to mention the growing sense of “Tesla shame” among owners, and there is no easy silver bullet solution.
“The concerns about the Tesla brand have been about investor mindset for the past three years, but I feel this is different this time,” Wolf Research’s Emmanuel Rossner told clients.
Tesla drivers fear leaving their cars abandoned
Tesla no longer has this unfallen nimbus that it acquired during the pandemic era epidemic when everything the mask did is magic.
at that timehe even managed to skillfully skirt the semiconductor crunch that would halt most of the automotive industry. But now, Musk himself It is the source of crisis.
Just before Hale took Mike to get him into the stock’s rampage, Tesla owner and investor Herbert Ong confessed on the same online forum that many of his friends in the Pacific Northwest are now reluctant to be seen on vehicles.
“Some of them say, “I won’t choose to drive downtown Seattle for the time being.” They are afraid,” admitted Ong.
The company did not respond to the request luck For comments.
However, it is difficult to see how to persuade new buyers to get behind the wheel of Tesla unless current drivers want to leave their parked cars unattended for fear of retaliation.
If you zoom out all the way through 2030, Tesla stocks could be cheaper
The Bulls are currently losing out completely on where their stock is heading.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas told clients in a research note last week that it could surge to $800 in the next 12 months but could easily sink to $200.
Instead, the best way to think about Tesla is to zoom out. Looking at it on a long enough timeline, it is cheap, with the stock only valuing 19 times its earnings in 2030, Jonas argued.
Still, sell-side analysts had to give their clients at least some degree of inking about how to trade in the meantime, and he covered the bet.
“We expect the major drivers of equities will continue to include a wide range of forces ranging from commercial, macro, geopolitics, technology, strategy and management,” he writes. In other words, everything except the Earth’s gravity pull could move prices.
Wolf’s Emmanuel Rossner claimed he was unsure of the direction in the coming weeks. This is not because there aren’t many factors that pull stocks, but rather the opposite.
“I don’t think it’s great to alienate half of the population.”
In the meantime, even the biggest fans of masks take some money from the table.
Asset Manager Ron Baron continues to believe in entrepreneurs, but he was also forced to sell Tesla last month at the direct request of his client.
Currently, his company only has about two-thirds of the original shares he held. He bought it for an average of between $11 and $12 a decade ago.
“Everyone has to deal with a particular customer,” Ron Baron told CNBC, adding that he didn’t sell from his personal holdings right away.
He condemned the decline in sales from the recent production closure, but he granted himself the wish that Musk would “a little less noticeable” amidst the controversy.
In between praise, he sneaked in a message to the CEO. “I don’t think it’s great to alienate half of the population.”
