The analyst has become &#8220;incrementally more concerned about macro challenges.&#8221; Tesla has already had to cut car prices quite a bit more than expected, and macro challenges are intensifying in ways that could disproportionately affect U.S. electric vehicle makers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Autos are durable goods, and their purchases are deferred when consumers feel less financially secure, says the firm. <br><br>Berenberg also downgraded Tesla to Hold from Buy. Tesla&#8217;s new plants offer multi-year opportunity in capital and labor efficiency, but &#8220;misplaced fears of a price war&#8221; appear to have been accepted by the market, Berenberg tells investors in a research note. The firm now sees less upside in the shares after the 21% rise since its upgrade. Moving into a smaller vehicle segment would open up a significant volume opportunity for Tesla, but this is likely to take time, Berenberg adds. It says Tesla&#8217;s valuation &#8220;now leaves less room for disappointment.&#8221;<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tipranks.com\/stocks\/tsla\/stock-news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a>&nbsp;to check out Tesla&#8217;s recent Media Buzz Sentiment as measured by TipRanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EXECUTION RISK, COMPETITION:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of Nikola (NKLA) with an Equal Weight rating. The firm says &#8220;tangible evidence of a maturing manufacturing footprint&#8221; and comprehensive approach to zero emissions vehicle infrastructure ensures that Nikola will participate in the transition towards a zero-emission vehicle world. However, execution risk and competition from incumbents and start-ups &#8220;remains elevated&#8221; for the company, Morgan Stanley argues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BUY RIVIAN:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BofA resumed coverage of Rivian Automotive with a Buy rating. The company&#8217;s Q4 results &#8220;were just ok&#8221; and its 2023 volume outlook of 50,000 was lighter than expected, BofA tells investors in a research note. The firm reduced estimates to reflect the report as well as the company&#8217;s earlier than expected capital raise. The raise was largely expected as Rivian&#8217;s cash burn remained elevated in 2022, but comes sooner than forecast, BofA says. However, the firm still believes Rivian is one of the most viable among the start-up electric vehicle automakers and a relative competitive threat to incumbent car makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTY:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Citi initiated coverage of SunPower (SPWR) with a Neutral rating. The firm expects the solar sector to see &#8220;continued unprecedented growth&#8221; but sees near-term uncertainty for the U.S. residential solar sector. The firm prefers geographically diversified names with European exposure, as well as utility and commercial scale versus residential exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The firm also started coverage of Sunrun (RUN) and Array Technologies (ARRY) with Neutral ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted March 13, 2023 &#8211; <a
