$340


"Oppenheimer analyst Colin Rusch initiated coverage of Tesla (TSLA) after the closing bell with an Outperform rating and $340 price target. The stock closed the day up $6.24 to $248.17. The electric car maker is a "transformative battery-powered product company" with "leading expertise" in cell design, packaging, associated software, human-machine and machine-machine interaction design, Rusch tells investors in a research note. The analyst included Tesla as part of his Solar initiation report, which included a total of nine names in the space. Solar represents a high growth opportunity with downside protection from improving relative cost curves and lower commodity risks, the analyst argues. Rusch also gave Outperform ratings to First Solar (FSLR), Canadian Solar (CSIQ), SunEdison (SUNE) and SunPower (SPWR), among others."

You mean Stephen Colbert? If so, tomorrow.

LOL

Yes, I'm an idiot. I just confirmed. Thanks.

Isn't he going on Leno 2 years ago? :tongue:

 

[drinkerofkoolaid]

Another upgrade tomorrow + the interview on the Night Show + Tesla releasing more info about the Model X would easily bring us to a new 52 week high.

 

[BoerumHill]

To be fair I'm at happy hour celebrating a deal. Algohol may have been been a factor.

Lol. Algohol. Be safe my friend, congrats on the deal.

I do believe algohol is what gives us all these crazy price movements. ;-)

No, that was the Simpsons.

Anyone care to make a wild guess on stock price effect? Colbert commands a huge following.

Depends what happens....if it's just an "interview", then not much.

BUT, I don't believe it's going to be "just an interview". I am hoping there is something very special planned.

Like video of Colbert joyriding an X and Elon teasing some special features.

 

[JRP3]

I'm hoping they'll have a clip of the X with falcon wings up flying with the Colbert Report Freedom eagle :biggrin:

Haha. Someone's been drinking too much koolaid.

 

[Drax7]

Most likely Irrelevant .

I don't know how Colbert will conduct his interviews now out of character from his previous show(I will get a feel tonight). I know he is a smart guy. When Elon was on his show last time I thought he was genuinely amazed by the the SpaceX vertical landing stuff. Could just be a conversation about going to Mars.

 

[MikeC]

Colbert owns a Model S and seemed so excited that he did not really stay in character last time he interviewed Elon. He may even have been the inspiration for the snake charger.

Elon Musk Pt. 1 - Video Clip | Comedy Central
Elon Musk Pt. 2 - Video Clip | Comedy Central

I don't expect any major announcement or reveal but hoping for some nice publicity and maybe Elon will drop a tease or two.

No effect. I don't think Elon will share any stock moving news on an entertainment show, especially one that's not live.

I will definitely tune in and watch though as I like hearing Elon talk and share his ideas.

Looks like Colin Rusch joined Oppenheimer from Northland Securities Aug 20: People and Firms | Industry Moves and Growth Sectors | Power Finance & Risk


The last price target he had at Northland that I can find is $298 on May 5, but that may not be the most recent.

X design studio invites expanded tonight from ~27 to at least the 130s tonight, one week after the initial batch. Good sign, IMO.
