Portfolio Pulse from Priya Nigam
Bernstein's analyst Toni Sacconaghi has maintained an Underperform rating and a price target of $150 for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), stating that the company is overestimating the growth of its energy storage system (ESS) market. Sacconaghi believes that the ESS market could grow to about 700GWh annual deployment by 2030, which is less than a third of what Tesla is forecasting. He also assumes Tesla will have a 15% share in the global ESS market, contrary to Tesla's assumption of 43%.
