Morgan Stanley expects Tesla Model S and Model X sales to fall
[ad_1]
Tesla shares were up nearly 1 percent Monday in morning trading. The stock has lost more than 17 percent of its value since the beginning of the year.
Apart from declining deliveries, negative sentiment around Tesla’s stock also could begin to hurt the company’s actual business, Jonas said.
“We are increasingly concerned about the impact that investor concerns over Tesla’s financial strength and forward looking liquidity position could potentially have on employee morale, customer perceptions and standing with key stakeholders and suppliers,” he said.
Jonas now expects Tesla to deliver 344,000 vehicles in 2019, which is at the low end of Tesla’s own guidance and down from Jonas’ previous forecast of 362,000 units. He expects Tesla to deliver an average of 14,800 Model S and X vehicles per quarter and 287,500 Model 3 midsize sedans for the year.
