LONDON: Shares of Tesla surged 14 per cent on Tuesday, rebounding from a deep sell-off and on track for their largest one-day gain in about a year after data showed an increase in China sales and an analyst raised his rating on the electric car maker.
The jump, which added US$75 billion to Tesla's market capitalisation, would end a five-day streak of losses for the company in a Nasdaq slump in which investors spooked by rising interest rates have abandoned growth stocks with heady valuations.New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu raised his Tesla rating to"buy" from"neutral," and upped his target price to US$900 from US$578.
Tesla's stock was last at US$643 and it was heading for its strongest one-day performance since March 24, 2020. "As much as the market severely corrected the recent excesses of optimism reflected in Tesla’s valuation, our recent work strengthened our confidence about the solid outlook for the company in the next 2 years," Ferragu wrote in a client note.
Tesla sold 18,318 China-made vehicles in February, up from 15,484 in January, Chinese auto industry body CPCA said.After the recent market volatility, Tesla's stock remains up about 70 per cent over the past six months. Thirteen analysts have neutral ratings on Tesla, while 12 recommend buying and 10 recommend selling, according to Refinitiv.
