Tesla shares are unlikely to make a comeback over the medium term partly due to the price cuts the electric automaker announced late last year, according to tech investor Mark Hawtin. "I'm pretty bearish on Tesla," said Hawtin, investment director at Zurich-based GAM Investments. This, in turn, could lead to lower demand for Tesla's products, impacting margins and profitability, according to Hawtin. "I think we will see lower demand at a time when they're ramping up factories around the world," he added. According to Jonas, the stock could jump on any new plans from the automaker for the "mass adoption of EVs at far lower price points" on its Mar.
Tesla shares are up over 10% in premarket trading on Thursday, after beating on the top and bottom lines, despite mixed analyst sentiment about the electric-vehicle manufacturer's outlook. Tesla cut prices at the end of 2022 and into 2023, a move that seems to have sparked demand. We're currently seeing orders of almost twice the rate of production," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on an investor call Wednesday. Tesla reported automotive revenue of $21.3 billion in the fourth quarter and adjusted earnings per share of $1.19. "Better than feared," wrote Canaccord Genuity analyst George Gianarikas in a Wednesday night note.

"As the pressure on the supply chain eases, investors can point to a General Motors and say, 'They're building without a problem, why can't you?'" During quarterly earnings calls, executives at Rivian and Lucid cautioned investors of more trouble heading into 2023 as they raced to ramp up production and their logistics processes in hand. Accordingly, stock prices have been sinking from blockbuster IPO and SPAC highs, with many EV startups' shares down as much as 80% from earlier last year. Rivian reported Tuesday it fell a few hundred vehicles short of its goal to build 25,000 electric cars in 2022. If the startups want to succeed and regain investor faith, they have to get closer to meeting their numbers in 2023.
Certainly, a number of investors aren't thrilled to see Tesla's numbers fail to meet expectations, and that vehicle supply outpaced demand yet again. "We expect challenging headlines around demand softening and associated price cuts to continue," Deutsche Bank said. Keeping the faithGarrett Nelson, VP and senior equity analyst at CFRA Research, reiterated his strong buy opinion on Tesla shares. Nelson also expects new record-high volumes for Tesla as it continues to ramp up production in Austin, Texas, and Berlin. "However, Tesla is held to a higher standard and a miss is a miss and the bulls are not popping champagne on these numbers."
Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas cut his price target on Tesla to $250 per share from $330, citing weaker demand for electric vehicles, but kept his overweight weighting on the stock. Tesla's stock is down 68% year to date, and 42% in December alone. Tesla appears to be responding to the weaker demand by slowing the rollout of its cars. However, the weaker market for electric vehicles is a bigger threat to Tesla's competitors than Musk's company, Jonas said. "On a relative basis, the reiteration of our OW rating must be seen vs. more challenged EV-related peers such as EW-rated Fisker (FSR), UW-rated Lucid (LCID), and UW-rated QuantumScape (QS)," Jonas wrote.

As it turns out, clients of Morgan Stanley are similarly nonplussed by the prospect of an inflationary shock. But Morgan Stanley says to ignore the threat of an inflation spike at your own risk.
