Hey everybody Rob Maower here and today we are talking about a new price target on Tesla stock from J.P. Morgan, some news on Tesla's solar offerings, as well as an update to

0:15.8

autopilot functionality. I am recording before closed today, but it looks like Tesla will probably

0:20.0

finish the day in the week, around a thousand dollars per share.

0:23.0

I figured since it's Friday we can start with the most humorous at least to me news of the day and that is a new

0:28.0

price target from J.P. Morgan Chase, analyst Ryan Brinkman on Tesla's stock.

0:33.0

Brinkman historically has been bearish on Tesla.

0:35.4

He had the lowest price target on the stock of the analyst that I was able to track

0:38.6

after Tesla's Q1 earnings report at $240 per share. He was one of the few analysts to not increase his price target

0:45.4

after that report. Well, today he has finally decided to increase that price target from $240

0:50.9

per share all the way up to 275. This new price target would be 72% below where

0:56.4

Tesla trades today and would imply a $50 billion market cap. I expect Tesla's revenue in

1:01.7

2020 to exceed $30 billion so this would imply a roughly 1.5 x price to sales ratio

1:07.4

which would only be about double the price to sales ratio of Toyota for example

1:11.6

which trades at about 0.66x price to sales, which doesn't make

1:15.4

a lot of sense when you compare the growth rates and profitability potential of the two companies.

1:19.8

To be fair, most of the other automakers are generally valued at a 0.1 to 0.4 x price to

1:26.0

sales ratio so Tesla would be quite a bit higher than that even in this bearish

1:30.0

scenario but on the other end you have a company like Amazon, which I personally like a lot as a comparison for Tesla, they currently trade at 4.5 time sales.

1:38.5

And that's obviously at a different point in time in history where they have completed a lot of the growth that Tesla still has to gain.

1:44.4

Right now Tesla's trading at about six times sales if we assume more than 30 billion in

1:48.4

revenue this year. So despite the small press target increased,

1:51.5

J.P. Morgan is still very bearish on the company
