Tesla Capitalizes On Stock’s Hot Streak With Offering To Raise More Than $2 Billion

. Funds from the offering will come in handy as Tesla said in its annual 10-K filing also released today that it’s budgeting up to $3.5 billion this year for capital investments for a range of projects, including factory construction and upgrades to new products including the Cybertruck pickup and Semi. Tesla is also moving ahead with plans to build a factory in Germany, even as it continues work on the Shanghai plant and Nevada Gigafactory.

During the company’s Jan. 29 earnings call with analysts, Musk said rising cash generation could support capital investment and that raising new capital wasn’t necessary for the near term. “It doesn't make sense to raise money because we expect to generate cash despite this growth level,” he said.Ben Kallo, an equity analyst with Baird who rates Tesla “Neutral,” said in a research note that the offering is “prudent given current share prices.

“We believe TSLA’s decision to raise capital was smart; in fact we think investors will argue the offering should have been larger,” Kallo said. “That said, we do note management indicated on the Q4 call that it ‘doesn’t make sense’ to raise money given upcoming cash generation, so the announcement was somewhat surprising.”

Garrett Nelson, a CFRA equity analyst with a Sell rating on Tesla, said the offering was to be expected owing to “ambitious growth plans” and struck a more cautious tone on the company’s near-term outlook. “Recent speed bumps including a coronavirus-related delay in vehicle deliveries from its new China factory and Model X recall likely factored into management's decision to proceed with the offering,” he said. The company’s capex plan for 2020 of between $2.5 billion and $3.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are lead managers for the offering, with Barclays, BofA Securities, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Wells Fargo Securities and Societe Generale also participating.

Tesla on autopilot had steered driver towards same barrier before fatal crash, NTSB saysThe driver who died after his Tesla crashed into a highway barrier while using autopilot had previously complained about the system aiming him towards the same barrier, according to newly released documents from the NTSB. I have serious concerns about anybody who trusts a car blindly to take them from point a to point b. Relinquishing control of a vehicle to AI should just not be allowed. Too many unpredictables! Glad I can't afford one. Not to make light of life that was lost. It's begs to question? Why would you keep using this feature in the same dangerous location/situation. I don't understand.. RIP so he kept driving it on autopilot?
