Tesla (TSLA, $1,523.60) gets price target hike from Piper Sandler analyst
Tesla got a price target hike from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter.
Potter boosted his price target on the electric carmaker’s share by nearly +150% from $939 to $2,322 per share.
Potter attributed his outlook to what he believes is Tesla’s position as "the most consequential company in the mobility ecosystem", and this status is “unlikely to change in the next decade”, according to Potter’s note.
“We are increasing our price target to $2,322 after adjusting our DCF model to reflect faster-than-expected share gains and, more importantly, a detailed analysis of Tesla's software opportunity" , Alex Potter said.
Piper Sandler analysts raised their outlook for 2020 deliveries to 487,000, while mentioning that Tesla achieving their original guidance of 500,000+ deliveries for the year "might still be in play" even amid COVID-19 pandemic’s impact.
For 2025, Potter has predicted 3.95 million deliveries from the carmaker.
Tesla is “still the top pick in our coverage” following a stronger-than-expected performance in Q1, Alex Potter said.
