The Tesla Run-up: A Follow-up with Investment Implications

The authors had previously valued the stock of Tesla in 2014 at about $100 using overly liberal projections; the price of Tesla subsequently went up to over $250.  This article suggests that Tesla's stock is overpriced according to fundamentals and DCF calculations, and the speeches and promotions by Musk are propping up the stock price, due to long-term prospects over short-term results.  But when a negative event regarding the company soon causes a cascade in the stock price, it will appear like a short-term reaction, but it's actually a Bayesian update that has been a long time coming.
