Lolshortz!

Why didn't they do this at $900 SP?

They read somewhere the SP was going to $1880 soon.

 

[Ratanpara]

Yes, but it's a bit of a gamble. If Q1 is decent and the stock continues to go up, then NOW is the last great buying opportunity. So by setting that cash aside instead of buying now, you're really betting against the company for Q1. I don't have the guts to do that.

it's not a much of news for long term shareholder, but shorts have more worry in short term, Brokerage house always try to hold stock around offering price so shorts are screwed again.

At this point, it would be a fair question to ask where will the new capacity be to produce the Semi, model Y, cybertruck, and solar glass tiles? Presumably the share offering will be for increasing capacity.

The playbook it now known, so it appears to be just a matter of more productions lines, or factories...

GFTX, GFCN2 to start.

Back in 2013 when shares shot up from $30 to $92 Tesla used that opportunity to raise some capital between $90-92. Elon also bought some shares at those prices, the stock eventually stabilized between $88-92 through some trading days/weeks before breaking out again. I think selling stock at current prices will likely help stabilize the SP in the $700 range before breaking out again.

FTFY. I had to add the part you forgot.

Tesla stock slammed as company announces plan to issue up to $2 billion in new shares

They have typos on the title. It should have beenTesla (Shorts) slammed...

 

[Eugene Ash]

Super bullish if they sell them for $700+ imo

Inconsistent with your 1880 call

 

[gerebgraus]

+$11 .. this what normal is..

How spoiled we are!!

Obvious! This is what happens when they announce a major recall due to a defect, and then they offer a secondary.

It can't be a coincidence that the recall was officially announced the day before the cap raise. This cap raise has completely pushed the recall news out of the cycle.

One of Tesla's biggest backers says the offering increases confidence in her $7,000 forecast

<2% of the fleet is major or of any significant impact? Oookay.

The Shortzers will claim it was all a plot.

I welcome this surprise raise just like I did Elon's back and forth on store closing. I talked to some fence sitters and their reasoning almost always included Elon as being unpredictable. To those I said "good, I dont want the guy running the company in which I put my entire liquid asset in to be predictable. It wouldnt be a very good company."
I'm surprised by some doubting this raise. Lets embrace it. This is exactly why Tesla is miles above the competition, if there was any. The ability to make new strategic plan and execute it on the flight, not bogged down by beaucracy. I trust Elon to make the best decisions with the information he has.

Sure it can.

Also the 10-K was released shortly before, which would start the countdown clock for possible S&P and Moody's credit rating upgrades ...

 

[azaz]

more sell orders at $790 than $800 which is different than the way it has been all week..

Seems crazy for Moody's to put off upgrading Tesla after this. I know it's certainly in their right to do so, but... flush with cash, profitable, great outlook...

More likely they would have exposed themselves to legal liability if they had not disclosed pending negative news before the secondary.
