Tesla may soon swing to a profit as Model 3 demand revs up
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) announced mixed results in its second-quarter earnings after the bell Wednesday, but reiterated its guidance, expecting to be profitable and cash-flow positive by the second half of 2018.
Baird analysts think Tesla just might swing to a profit in the near future, citing the company’s positive commentary on Model 3 demand trends.
The company said it has received more than 60,000 requests to test drive the Model 3 and forecasts a higher drive-to-order conversion rate for the Model 3 than the Model S.
“TSLA announced the most common vehicle trade-ins for the Model 3 are the Toyota Prius, BMW 3 Series, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Nissan Leaf, which we think supports our belief the total addressable market for the Model 3 may be underestimated,” wrote analyst Ben Kallo.
