Tesla: Nobody Ever Lost Money Taking A Profit (Rating Downgrade)

Summary:

  • Emboldened by Donald Trump’s election victory, Mr. Market has bid up Tesla, Inc.’s trading multiple well above the 2020-21 ZIRP/liquidity bubble peak.
  • Despite bullish technical momentum, TSLA’s stock is overbought and detached from business fundamentals, posing significant near-term downside risk.
  • Our valuation model shows Tesla’s fair value at $180 per share, with a 5-year expected CAGR return of -1%.
  • Due to significant deterioration in its long-term risk/reward, I now rate Tesla a “Sell” in the mid-to-high $400s.
