WS #16282
Tesla's Q3 profit fell 43% due to delivery shortfalls and margin pressure, raising concerns about demand elasticity. Despite this fundamental weakness, Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $410, citing potential synergies with SpaceX and long-term AI value. This divergence suggests that institutional investors are pricing in future optionality rather than current delivery metrics, leaving the stock vulnerable to further downside if delivery numbers do not improve.
