Morgan Stanley observes the UAW strike as Tesla (TSLA) influence 'looms larger that it appears'

September 27, 2023 11:05 AM EDT

Morgan Stanley remains bullish on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) with an Outperform rating and a $400.00 price target on their Top Pick as the UAW continues to strike against the auto industry.

In 2019, when the UAW went on strike for a grueling six weeks, Tesla (NASDAQ:... More
