Aegis analyst Chris Kapsch recommends buying Albemarle (ALB) should the shares see further near-term weakness in sympathy with Tesla (TSLA). Tesla, after rallying 80% in the first half of 2017, is under pressure on "valuation skepticism," lower than expected Q2 deliveries, Model 3 production concerns and increasing competition, Kapsch tells investors in a research note. However, Albemarle's electric vehicle-driven lithium demand growth proposition "was hardly about just Tesla," the analyst contends. He views Albemarle as a "broad and sustained global EV adoption story" and thinks the company has an "advantaged competitive positioning in addressing the associated lithium growth opportunity." Kapsch has a Buy rating on Albemarle with a $125 price target. The specialty chemicals developer closed yesterday at $108.05.

Morgan Stanley noted that Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd., or CATL, is working with Tesla on faster charging batteries, which follows news that CATL is supplying machinery to Tesla's Giga Nevada factory. China's CATL is effectively barred from selling into the U.S. directly, but is able to license battery tech to partners and charge a royalty fee, noted the analyst, who notes that the U.S. is an under-penetrated EV market in need of high quality, cheap battery tech and that China is a highly penetrated EV market with an oversupply of batteries. The firm, which believes a Tesla-CATL partnership "could be a game changer" for the U.S. electric vehicle market, has an Overweight rating and $320 price target on Tesla shares.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk told staff in an internal memo to give buyers a "short test ride" to demonstrate the company's Full Self-Driving technology, now a "hard requirement" in North America, Bloomberg's Edward Ludlow reports. Workers will also have to perform checks on any vehicles returned from service. "I know this will slow down the delivery process, but it is nonetheless a hard requirement," Musk said in the memo, adding that "This is very important." Reference Link

Citi analyst Itay Michaeli lowered the firm's price target on Tesla to $196 from $224 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Ahead of Tesla's Q1 delivery release, the analyst lowered estimates to reflect recent data points. The firm's Q1 delivery estimate goes to 429,9000 from 473,300. The Q1 setup for Tesla "looks tough on aggressive consensus estimates," the analyst tells investors in a research note. In recent weeks, consensus estimates have come down, but March data points have also disappointed, says Citi. It believes Sheet estimates are still looking too high, not only for 2024 but also 2025.
