Tesla has stemmed downside risk in its electric vehicle business and is exposed to "powerful emerging drivers" related to artificial intelligence and future energy demand, leaving it a better bet than Ford as the best stock in the auto industry, according to Morgan Stanley. Analyst Adam Jonas has a $310 price target for Tesla, implying 40% upside from Friday's close of $219.80. Tesla's cost cutting and restructuring has helped lower the breakeven point at which it can generate positive cash flow, Jonas wrote. The Elon Musk-led company is also benefiting from zero emission credits that amount to $2,000 per vehicle, the analyst said. The automaker also has a strong position in the energy storage market, with investors starting to consider that Tesla may benefit from a historic increase in electricity demand, according to the analyst.

And it's an even more unfortunate setback because Ford management said on its April earnings call that the company has made "real progress" on its goal of making better vehicles. The best story at Ford remains Ford Pro , the unit that houses the company's fleet and commercial vehicles. But last quarter management said the business was tracking toward the higher end of the range, and that no longer appears to be the case.

If we apply a multiple of 21.6 on DuPont's business, it puts the enterprise value at $25 billion. So being conservative and using a 20 times multiple, DuPont's water business could have an enterprise value of $7.2 billion. Add these three up and the total enterprise value is about $52 billion. To get the equity value, we subtract the net debt (which is total debt minus cash) from the total enterprise value. If we subtract this from the $52 billion enterprise value, the total equity value could be worth $46.2 billion.
