Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintains an overweight rating on Tesla Inc (TSLA) with a $345 price target. Despite Tesla's warning of lower volume growth in 2024, Jonas did not find new information in the Q4 call to change the bearish sentiment. He expects delivery growth to drop to 15% in 2024, down from 38% in 2023. Jonas cites potential AI developments and higher than expected capex as reasons not to bet against Tesla's shares. He adjusted revenue estimates for FY24 to $106 billion with a higher automotive gross profit and operating margin. Tesla shares closed down 0.6% and fell about 6% after hours.
