Tesla 2022-23 estimates raised at Jefferies ahead of Q4 report
On January 20, 2022, Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois has raised his 2022-23 estimates for Tesla by 12% and 6%, respectively, on higher growth and marginally higher volume-driven gross margin ahead of the company’s Q4 report due on January 26. He views the Q4 results as “critical” to validate, or not, the Q3 profit dynamics that could see Tesla carve out meaningful share from legacy OEMs and claim a “disproportionate share of the industry profit pool,” Houchois tells investors. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised an updated product plan along with the Q4 report, which should clarify widely rumored delays to Cybertruck, but what he views as “more critical” will be the roadmap to a smaller Tesla which, if confirmed, will underpin the drive to affordability. Houchois maintains a Buy rating and $1,400 price target on Tesla shares.
Tesla investors want Musk to repay $13B for SolarCity deal, Reuters reports
On January 19, 2022, Tesla shareholders have urged a judge at an ongoing trial to find Elon Musk coerced the company’s board into a deal for SolarCity in 2016 and have asked for Musk to be ordered to pay $13B, Tom Hals of Reuters reports. “This case has always been about whether the acquisition of SolarCity was a rescue from financial distress, a bailout, orchestrated by Elon Musk,” Randy Baron, an attorney for shareholders, told the Zoom hearing, according to Reuters. The lawsuit alleges Musk strong-armed Tesla’s board to approving the deal for SolarCity, a company Musk was the top shareholder in. Musk has countered this claim by arguing it was part of a decade-old plan to vertically integrate Tesla to transform energy generation and consumption.
