Tesla (TSLA, $1,505.09) price target doubled by Credit Suisse analysts

Tesla got a major price target boost from Credit Suisse analysts.

Credit Suisse  analysts doubled their price target on the electric carmaker’s shares to $1,400 from $700.  Analysts Dan Levy and AJ Denham mentioned in a note that they see “multiple factors” causing the recent sharp run-up in Tesla stock,  including “EV euphoria” and short-sale covering and buying by momentum investors. The analysts cited tailwinds like Tesla’s Battery Day (when the company will unveil a long-lasting battery) and possibly positive earnings to be reported for the second-quarter as reasons behind their optimism for the stock.

However, Levy  and Denham  cautioned that Tesla shares at current levels are “priced to perfection, we believe any material near-term negative datapoint could lead to a drawdown”.
