Tesla 'leak' an attempt to lower, then beat, Q4 expectations, says GLJ Research 07:11 TSLA GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson said he sees Elon Musk's leaked "internal email" this past weekend and tweet yesterday as an attempt to lower Q4 expectations "just so he can beat them, therefore allowing more stock [to be] dumped" in the first and perhaps even second quarters of 2022. He feels Tesla is on pace to report Q4 deliveries of around 280,000 vehicles, which Johnson said would "blow away" the current consensus estimate of 262,340 units. He then expect that the sell-side and media "will herald these results as stellar," even though he said they will represent a decline in incremental cars sold quarter-over-quarter despite more having been produced. Johnson maintains a Sell rating and $67 price target on Tesla shares.
