Wednesday’s Factors and Events

Many investors have viewed Tesla’s production targets for Model 3 as overly optimistic. After all, the automaker has already delayed production targets for the vehicle twice . But Musk said on Tuesday that the company continues to maintain its revised target for a Model 3 production rate of 5,000 units per week around the end of its second quarter. With the end of its second quarter just a few weeks away, it’s getting tougher to dismiss this ambitious production goal.

In addition, Robert Baird analyst Ben Kallo was upbeat about Tesla stock in an interview with Bloomberg. Kallo, who has a $411 price target on the stock, cites Tesla’s rapid growth in its business and its “under-owned” shares as reasons to be optimistic
