China To Shift From Auto Importer To Exporter, Says Morgan Stanley Analyst After Recent Tesla Price Cut
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas has maintained an 'equal-weight' rating on Tesla with a price target of $250, following the company's recent price cuts in China. Jonas believes China will shift from being an auto importer to exporter due to supply-demand dynamics. He also noted that legacy automakers are collaborating with Chinese players, such as Volkswagen's collaboration with XPeng, but does not expect these partnerships to significantly impact the market. Tesla's shares closed down 2.8% at $219.22 on Thursday.
