Wolfe Research analyst Rod Lache cited bank failures as a rationale for lowering his rating of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares from Outperform to Peer Perform while keeping his price target at $185 on March 13.
A possible reduction in loan availability and a worsening of the macro environment are two concerns the analyst brought up in light of the recent demise of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). Lache added that the failure of SVB Financial might lead to an implosion in the technology industry and a lending restriction.
“We’re still convinced of Tesla’s improved cost trajectory, which should propel impressive growth over time. However, we’ve also become incrementally more concerned about macro challenges.”
