Morgan Stanley slaps Tesla with its first 'sell' rating in 7 years, arguing it lacks upside after spiking 100% in just 4 months
to "underweight," the equivalent of a sell rating, for the first time in more than seven years.
"Near-term momentum and sentiment around the stock is admittedly very strong, but we ultimately question the sustainability of the momentum," Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley wrote in a Thursday note. He also lowered his valuation for the company's mobility unit and increased his expectations for the core auto business, resulting in a higher target price.
Jonas also said he thinks that optimism around China has been fully priced into Tesla's stock, while the risks for the world's largest electric-vehicle market are not fully appreciated.
