The Tesla Battery
Tesla’s battery day came and went. The event had been hyped for a while by Elon Musk brought considerable media exposure.
The media’s interpretation of the event was a little negative, perhaps expecting a real battery to look at. They said it’s more science fiction for them rather than here and now.
It shows many in the industry want to see immediate solutions for all the world’s problems. In reality, Musk and his crew are doing a great job of bringing advanced battery and vehicle technology along, for the sake of a range of industries. Musk signalled more tangible evidence of a real battery but really just lauded his new technology.
The Tesla stock price took a tumble today as investors ingested the media’s pessimism. Tesla is an up and down stock, however it’s hard to argue some expert’s views that this stock won’t soar as new products are released.
Even without the million mile battery, the company is introducing more models and increasing capacity. Anyone knows businesses must guard against too fast growth to avoid a number of perils.
Digital Promotional Events can Work Well, but not for the Obvious Reasons
Even held digitally, big promo/announcement events are an effective form of marketing. They supercharge everything from visibility, reach, SEO, content engagement and ultimately and particularly sales. These events act as a focus for a company or brand’s marketing strategy, giving it focus in the present with people, products, technology, earnings, and more.
Many marketing efforts float on a few infrequent product releases or company announcements which simply don’t carry weight. Musk likely knows these events act as a focal point with many benefits down the road.
The event, which Musk said would be “insane” may improve Tesla’s Stock price in the week’s ahead. People may forget what it was about, but they remember Tesla and the technology. If you had purchased Tesla stock 3 months ago when few cared about Tesla, you would have doubled your money. Is the new battery going to double it again, or is it more marketing events that will?
On Monday, Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives increased his bull case Tesla price target by 40%, to $3,500 per share. However, he reiterated his Neutral rating and $1,900 price target — from thestreet.com.
Battery Day is Beginning of a New Phase in Battery Power
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that a company as talented and amazing as Tesla wouldn’t balk at creating a special day to introduce a new product. The Spacex spectacle certainly drew attention. And Tesla is a company that has a lot of interesting things going on. Very engaging and inspiring for employees and stock investors.
That’s why TSLA is the darling child of the stock market. If the true value of this new battery technology is trillions, you can bet the Tesla stock price will rise ridiculously high. You can hear Jim Cramer talk about Tesla, a stock he describes as the most exciting in the market in a video below. Elon Musk had earlier said Cramer was just a hologram after Cramer dismissed some of his ambitions.
