Tesla inventory (NASDAQ:TSLA) continued its comeback on Thursday amid Wall Street’s apparently improving ideas about the company and the existing demand for the vehicles, particularly the Model 3. Far from the incredibly negative coverage that Tesla received in recent weeks, analysts such as Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas have substituted their position on the electric vehicle maker, saying that Tesla might be poised to pleasantly surprise at the second quarter.

At a note to investors on Wednesday, Jonas said that the month of May saw Tesla continue to “to expand its lead vs. a still-small group of true electric vehicle competitors. ” The analyst added that Tesla’s estimated total US revenue in May, that is supposed to be approximately 11,300 vehicles, was 2.6 times that the combined total of opponents such as the Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-PACE, BMW i3, Nissan Leaf, along with the Chevy Bolt EV, a vehicle once-dubbed as a possible “Tesla Killer. ”

Jonas’ note on Wednesday struck a different tone than his previous bearish note on the company, where he gave TSLA inventory per month “worst case” cost target of just $10 per share. During his prior note, Jonas commented that Tesla is not viewed as a growth story, but rather, a “distressed credit and restructuring story. ” Most of these thoughts were quite absent from the analyst’so note on Wednesday.

JMP Securities analysts Joseph Osha and Hilary Cauley also adopted an optimistic stance on Tesla at a recent note to investors. According to the analysts, Tesla’s functionality from April into May, particularly with respect to Model 3 registrations, were encouraging. “More Model 3s were registered in April and May than during all of the initial quarter. It is evident that Tesla’s Q2 volume should regain significantly from Q1,” the analysts wrote.

With his more optimistic position, Morgan Stanley expects Tesla to send involving 360,000 into 400,000 vehicles annually, which represents an “growth of roughly 45% to 65% compared to 2018,” based on the analyst. JMP, for its part, noted that it expects Tesla’s 2019 deliveries to “quite slightly to 378,900 units from 379,600,” in connection to the increasing quantity of lower-priced vehicles such as the Standard Range Plus Model 3 and the possible decline in higher-end electric cars like the Model S and Model X.

Tesla’s steep decline over the previous weeks centered in no small part on pervading concerns regarding the alleged demand issues being experienced from the company’therefore vehicles. With sales statistics demonstrating the opposite, also with reports from Tesla owners hinting that the company is currently placing taste to custom orders, so It Seems that the winds are now changing for the electric car maker.   Eddie Yoon, a think tank and advisory firm creator, recently discovered that the current condition of TSLA inventory resembles the Netflix back in 2011, right before the streaming giant started an eight-year rise that pushed it to record peaks.

As of this writing, Tesla inventory is trading +5.55% at $207.51 per share.
