Longtime Tesla bear Toni Sacconaghi lowered his price target on the EV maker to $120 from $150, citing growing demand constraints. The new forecast implies downside of 30% over the next 12 months.
“Quarter to date, Tesla has experienced soft China/Europe demand and constrained US Model 3 production,” the Bernstein analyst wrote, reiterating his underperform rating and lowering his first-quarter and full-year deliveries estimates.
“Despite the stock’s underperformance YTD, we struggle to see a catalyst for TSLA. We expect tepid growth in 2024, as well as 2025, bringing into question the company’s growth narrative,” Sacconaghi wrote.
Tesla has lost 30.5% in 2024, making it the worst-performing S&P 500 stock. To be sure, shares were up more than 3% in the premarket.
