Liao Kaiyuan, Tesla’s third-largest individual shareholder and a Chinese-American billionaire, called on Tesla on Wednesday to issue an optimistic forecast for deliveries in 2022 at next week’s earnings conference. Last year, it was reported that Liao Kaiyuan held more than $7 billion in Tesla’s stock, becoming Tesla’s third-largest individual shareholder, after Musk and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
Due to the macro environment and 13.5 million additional shares outstanding, we can’t help but hope that Tesla will boldly lead analysts on Jan. 26 to forecast more than 1.6 million deliveries this year, with a profit margin, Liao Kaiyuan said in a tweet. Over 30%. Destroying FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)… Tesla bulls go!
Liao Kaiyuan pointed out that promising an upbeat number could push Tesla shares to new highs while proving the skeptics wrong and causing pain for the bears. Analysts’ most optimistic forecast for Tesla’s 2022 deliveries is around 1.5 million.
Tesla bulls believe Tesla will deliver about 1.8 to 1.9 million with 30+% margin that easily beat 1.6 million this year. This will shock and awe the non-believers and believers will offer toast to Johnson to cheer him up. https://t.co/ulxOrhSJt0
