Tesla stock (NASDAQ:TSLA) is coming its own forthcoming third-quarter earnings call with a nine-day sequential series and a positive outlook from one of its most ardent fans on Wall Street.
Since showing that it has delivered 97,000 vehicles from the third quarter at the beginning of October, Tesla stock has witnessed itself dip and subsequently recover. After the Q3 delivery report’s release, stocks dropped by about 4.2percent over Tesla’s declared inability to send on Elon Musk’s positive estimate, which signaled that the company needed a shot at providing 100,000 vehicles in Q3.
TSLA stock was thus punished for not meeting a target that it never formally set. This was especially true since the average estimate among 21 companies covering Tesla expected the company to deliver approximately 94,000 vehicles in the third quarter. Finally, Tesla stock recovered as of this Wednesday, stocks closed at $259.75, getting almost 11.5percent over its series. By the end of Thursday, Tesla’s momentum had extended to nine successive days.

Amidst this recovery, Tesla stocks have gotten a vote of confidence by one of its most ardent fans on Wall Street. In a newly published notice, Baird analyst Ben Kallo reiterated his “Outperform” rating and $355 cost target on Tesla shares.
“We believe results could surprise to the upside (there’s an outside shot the company achieves GAAP sustainability, in our opinion ), while there are several factors, such as leasing and Service/Energy gross profits, which could hinder near-term profitability. 2019 volume advice will be an attention as the market appears to bridge Q4; we believe tightening guidance lower would get rid of an overhang on the stock,” Kallo mentioned .
In ways, Kallo’s anticipation of Tesla’s GAAP sustainability may be rather optimistic, especially in light of Wall Street looking at a year-over-year dip in annual revenue for the very first time in over a decade. This, as mentioned in a report by MarketWatch, is probably as a result of third quarter car deliveries being skewed heavily towards the Model 3, the company’s most affordable motor car or truck. By comparison, Q3 2018 finished with 84,000 vehicle deliveries, both of which 56,000 have been Model 3.
It is not only Kallo that retains an optimistic position on Tesla stock. Fellow analyst Colin Rusch from Oppenheimer recently noted that he continues to think Tesla’s Q3 delivery amount was strong relative to expectations. Rusch positions the company to beat gross margin estimates if it provide on a number of the production efficiencies it’s been working on. The Oppenheimer analyst further clarified that Tesla’s Q3 gross margins might gain from the mix of Model 3 earnings in the European area, particularly as emission credit monetization could boost earnings in the quarter.
Rusch currently retains an “Outperform” rating plus a $356 cost target on Tesla stock.
As of writing, Tesla stock is trading -0.38percent at $260.97 per share.
