Telsa raises as analysit predicting $500 a share

-
Analyst Ben Kallo at W.R. Baird on Wednesday reiterated his outperform rating and $386 price target on Tesla (TSLA) but added that if all goes smoothly with its Model 3 production and rollout targets, the stock should trade above $500 a share. Tesla shares closed up $6.36, or 2.1% at $310.22. "We continue to believe a successful Model 3 launch will be an inflection point for the stock and recommend owning shares into the launch," Kallo told clients in the note. "We outline a path to a >$500 TSLA share price, which we believe is feasible if management achieves its stated targets." Kallo added that at $500 a share Tesla's market cap would be more than $80 billion. The note stands in stark contrast to a note published May 11 by Goldman Sachs, which soothed the anguish of burned short sellers by keeping its sell rating on the technology darling and set a $190 target for the shares. That translates into an expectation by Goldman that the stock, currently at about $322, has about a one-third downside over the next year, while Baird's note implies, in a perfect scenario, an 86% upside. Goldman's David Tamberrino noted potential delays in rolling out the firm's Model 3 and said that he believes Tesla will miss targeted production rates. Tamberrino cut his full-year 2017 EPS estimate to a loss of $2.53 from a previous 30 cents a share loss target. He also sharply cut his estimates for 2018 - to a 69 cents a share profit from a previous $$2.59, and his 2019 outlook is now for $5.14 a share, a bit lighter than his previous expectation of $5.95.

Options are excellent tools for both position trading and risk management, but finding the right strategy is key to using these tools to your advantage. Beginners have several options when choosing a strategy, but first you should understand what options are and how they work. An option gives its holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset at a specified price on or before its expiration date. There are two types of options: a call, which gives the holder the right to buy the option, and a put, which gives its holder the right to sell the option. A call is in-the-money when its strike price (the price at which a contract can be exercised) is less than the underlying price, at-the-money when the strike price equals the price of the underlying and out-of-the-money when the strike price is greater than the underlying. The reverse is true for puts. When you buy an option, your level of loss is limited to the option’s price, or premium. When you sell a na...

By Christopher Speetzen   Seeking alpha Summary Hibbett Sports trades at a steep discount to book value. It operates in a difficult sporting goods market. Can it survive the Amazon economy? Hibbett Sports, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIBB ) is a small-cap sporting goods retailer operating retail stores in small- to mid-sized markets mainly in the Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest. Like practically all brick-and-mortar retailers over the last year, its stock has been pummeled, dropping from around $40 a year ago to ~$10 after earnings were reported Friday, August 18 th . The main question to ask is whether this drop is valid or not and whether the stock presents an opportunity at the present price. Its second-quarter results were pretty dismal: Loss of $0.15 per share. Comparable store sales decreased 11.7%. Net sales for the 13-week period ended July 29, 2017, decreased 9.2% to $188.0 million compared with $206.9 million for the 13-week period ended July 30, ...
