Tesla was having itself a day on Wall Street, Tuesday, as enthusiasm for the electric carmaker’s business prospects sent the company’s stock price on a trajectory toward $1,000 a share.
Shortly after U.S. stock markets opened, Tesla’s shares surged by as much as 20%, to reach a high of $940.13, and added to gains that have tacked on almost $300 a share to Tesla’s stock price in just two market trading sessions. The advance is even more pronounced when considering what it has done to Tesla’s overall value, as the company now has a market capitalization of more than $160 billion after just reaching $100 billion in value less than two weeks ago.
“If you’re trying to apply logic to a move of this magnitude you’re wasting your time,” said Jesse Cohen, an analyst with financial markets platform Investing.com.
Tesla was getting a boost due to a combination of factors in its favor. On Monday, Panasonic, which makes electric batteries with Tesla at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, said the business turned profitable for the quarter that ended Dec., 31, which was a quarter earlier than had been expected.
Billionaire investor Ron Baron, who was an early investor in Tesla, also said that he belives the company can reach $1 trillion in revenue in the next decade. Baron Capital, the invesment firm that Baron runs, owns approximately 1.63 million Tesla shares worth $1.43 billion based on Tesla’s stock price on Tuesday.
As trading progressed, Tesla’s shares pulled back from their day’s high point, but still remained up by more than 12%, at around $880 each.
Argus Research analyst Bill Selesky also gave Tesla fans reason to buy up the company’s shares as he raised his price target on the stock to $808 a share from $556 a share, on the grounds that the company continues to see strong demand for its Model 3 sedan, as well as good sales for its more-expensive Model S and Model X vehicles.
The rapid rise of Tesla on Wall Street comes less than a week after the company reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and sales. In early January, Tesla said it set a record for vehicle deliveries in a single business quarter.
Gene Munster, managing partner with Loup Ventures, said Tesla’s recent performance on the stock market calls to mind memories of Amazon in 2010. Munster said that at that time, investors chose to believe that Amazon would eventually deliver consistent earnings due to a vast addressable market of consumers that gave it a wide path for growth.“If investors continue to give a handful of companies the benefit of the doubt, Tesla’s market cap will likely move higher than its current (level) over the next five years,” Munster said.
