Tesla’s meteoric in 2020 has not made all skeptics full believers, however, the company is making progress.
In a note released Monday, JPMorgan raised its value target from $20 to $295 due to better than expected second-quarter delivery data. Tesla said it delivered 90,650 cars in the quarter, just 60 percent more than JPMorgan’s estimate of 57,000.
JPMorgan does not expect Tesla to make a profit in the quarter, expecting consistent gains of 30 cents. If Tesla does not make a benefit during the quarter, it will delay your eligibility to be included in the S.P.500 index. But if Tesla reports better-than-expected results in the quarter, JPMorgan warned:
“This can only come with elements of an ad hoc or ad hoc nature, perhaps adding flat-rate ZEV credit sales or the release of deferred earnings related to independent driving characteristics, as in some previous quarters.”

ZEV credits refer to regulatory credits for zero-emissions cars granted through states to automakers to inspire them to create more electric cars. Automakers will have to earn a safe amount of credits each year, either by producing a share of electric cars or by purchasing ZEV credits from other automakers.
JPMorgan earned its $295 value target at Tesla from a combined valuation style of 50-50 that employs money at a discount and research founded in the multiples of 2021.

2. “Gasoline prices could increase or government penalties and regulations on rival internal combustion engine vehicles could increase, which could drive adoption toward electric vehicles, benefitting Tesla.”
3. “Better than expected execution on operation targets.”
JPMorgan’s Monday note starkly contrasts with a note from JMP Securities on Monday, which detailed how Tesla could hit $100 billion in annual revenue by 2025.
