China is one of Tesla's largest markets. Given recent media reports of Tesla securing regulatory backing to deploy supervised Full Self Driving (FSD) in China, we offer a handful of initial thoughts and what we believe will be key items to monitor. Specifically:
中国是特斯拉最大的市场之一。鉴于最近媒体报道特斯拉获得监管支持在中国部署监督全自动驾驶(FSD),我们提供了一些初步想法和我们认为需要监测的关键问题。具体来说:

  • We estimate that China makes up 30-35% of Tesla's vehicle delivery volumes and 25-35% of Tesla's 5.5-6 mn total vehicles on the road globally.
    我们估计中国占特斯拉车辆交付量的 30-35%,占全球特斯拉 5.5-6 百万辆车辆总量的 25-35%。

  • Tesla has historically focused its FSD R&D on North America. While we believe a lot of the engineering that Tesla has done would be applicable globally, we believe the company would need local enhancements for the product. Importantly, Tesla will also need to navigate government rules on data access, localization, and AI which could complicate technology sharing within/outside of China.
    特斯拉在历史上主要将其 FSD 研发重点放在北美。虽然我们认为特斯拉所做的大部分工程都适用于全球,但我们认为公司需要为产品进行本地化改进。重要的是,特斯拉还需要应对政府关于数据访问、本地化和人工智能的规定,这可能会使技术在中国境内/境外的共享变得更加复杂。

  • We believe the extent and pace that Tesla can iterate and improve on the FSD product would determine how much it affects Tesla's business in China, including selling FSD directly, being a feature to stimulate more auto sales, or the probability of licensing FSD. While we believe FSD is not yet an eyes-off/unsupervised product, and we think this will take time, Tesla's use of end to end neural nets could allow it to develop the product faster than our base case view. We also believe that the ADAS and autonomy markets are competitive in China both with in-house/merchant ADAS systems and AVs already deployed in several cities.
    我们认为特斯拉能够对 FSD 产品进行多大程度和速度的迭代和改进,将决定其对特斯拉在中国业务的影响程度,包括直接销售 FSD、作为刺激更多汽车销售的功能,或者授权 FSD 的概率。虽然我们认为 FSD 目前还不是一种无需监督的产品,我们认为这需要时间,但特斯拉使用端到端神经网络可能使其比我们的基本情况看法更快地开发产品。我们还相信,在中国,ADAS 和自动驾驶市场竞争激烈,既有内部/商用 ADAS 系统,也有 AV 已经部署在几个城市。

  • We show sensitivity analysis for the FSD business in China using the current number of vehicles on the road (we believe ~1.6-1.8 mn based on historical shipment volumes per IHS and CPCA) in Exhibit 1, and the opportunity from up-front licensing assuming annual volumes of ~600K (similar to 2023A/2024E) in Exhibit 2. While these help size what the business opportunity could be with present volumes, the 2030 global FSD scenario analysis we previous published (Initial framing of robotaxi opportunity, and updated FSD scenarios and Contextualizing Tesla's AI and FSD opportunities) already assumed Tesla was addressing most or all of its global car parc (although progress in China makes it more likely Tesla will better execute on this, all else equal). Note that we updated the FSD revenue opportunity for licensing to reflect the reduction in the up-front license price to $8K from $12K that Tesla made on 4/20/2024.
    我们展示了对中国 FSD 业务的敏感性分析,使用道路上当前车辆数量(我们认为基于 IHS 和 CPCA 的历史出货量约为 1.6-1.8 百万)在陈列 1 中,并展示了从前期许可证中获得的机会,假设年销量约为 60 万辆(类似于 2023A/2024E)在陈列 2 中。虽然这些有助于确定当前销量下业务机会可能是什么,但我们之前发布的 2030 年全球 FSD 情景分析(机器出租车机会的初步框架,以及更新的 FSD 情景和对特斯拉人工智能和 FSD 机会的情境化)已经假设特斯拉正在解决其全球汽车园地的大部分或全部问题(尽管中国的进展使特斯拉更有可能在这方面执行得更好,其他条件相等)。请注意,我们已更新 FSD 许可证收入机会,以反映特斯拉在 2024 年 4 月 20 日将前期许可证价格从 12,000 美元降至 8,000 美元的情况。

Valuation considerations and implications
估值考虑和影响

We believe that our $175, 12-month price target (based on 50X Q5-Q8 EPS including SBC) gives Tesla future credit for growing in high margin areas such as FSD (with software growing from a few billion per year currently to tens of billions by 2030). While we consider the China news a directional positive, increased FSD/software revenue in the long-term was already a part of our valuation approach to the stock.
我们相信,我们的 175 美元,为期 12 个月的价格目标(基于 50 倍 Q5-Q8 EPS,包括 SBC)为特斯拉未来在高利润领域增长(如 FSD,软件从目前每年几十亿美元增长到 2030 年数千亿美元)给予了信用。虽然我们认为中国的消息是一个指导性的积极因素,但长期内增加的 FSD/软件收入已经是我们对该股票的估值方法的一部分。

We believe an upside scenario for the stock over the next 12-24 months could be ~$220-$300 using a multiple of 50X-60X applied to 2026E EPS (note we model 2026 EPS including SBC of $4.45 and excluding SBC of $5.00), and the market could be more forward looking/ascribe a higher multiple should Tesla demonstrate improved traction with software and services products such as FSD. We believe a downside scenario, including if investors become less optimistic on the software and services opportunity, could be ~$65-$85 using a multiple of ~30X applied to 2024 EPS (note that we model 2024E EPS including SBC at $2.20 and excluding SBC at $2.70).
我们认为,未来 12-24 个月内该股票的上行情景可能是 220 美元至 300 美元之间,采用 50 倍至 60 倍的倍数应用于 2026 年的 EPS(请注意,我们模拟 2026 年的 EPS,包括 SBC 为 4.45 美元,不包括 SBC 为 5.00 美元),市场可能更具前瞻性/赋予更高的倍数,如果特斯拉展示出对软件和服务产品(如 FSD)的改进有更好的表现。我们认为下行情景,包括如果投资者对软件和服务机会变得不那么乐观,可能是 65 美元至 85 美元之间,采用 30 倍左右的倍数应用于 2024 年的 EPS(请注意,我们模拟 2024 年的 EPS,包括 SBC 为 2.20 美元,不包括 SBC 为 2.70 美元)。

We are Neutral rated on Tesla shares. Key downside risks to our view relate to potentially larger vehicle price reductions than we expect, increased competition in EVs, slower EV demand, delays with products/capabilities like FSD/4680, key person risk, the internal control environment, margins, and operational risks associated with Tesla's high degree of vertical integration. Upside risks include faster EV adoption and/or share gain by Tesla, a stronger macroeconomic environment for new vehicle sales more generally, earlier new product launches than we expect, and an earlier/larger impact from AI enabled products (e.g., FSD, Optimus and robotaxis) than we currently anticipate.
我们对特斯拉股票持中性评级。我们观点的主要下行风险包括可能出现比我们预期更大的车辆价格降低、电动汽车领域竞争加剧、电动汽车需求增长放缓、产品/能力(如 FSD/4680)推迟、关键人员风险、内部控制环境、利润率以及特斯拉高度垂直整合所带来的运营风险。上行风险包括电动汽车采用速度加快和/或特斯拉市占率提高、新车销售宏观经济环境更加有利、新产品推出比我们预期更早、以及 AI 产品(如 FSD、Optimus 和机器人出租车)的影响比我们目前预期的更早/更大。

Reg AC

We, Mark Delaney, CFA, Will Bryant, Morgan Leung and Aman Gupta, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about the subject company or companies and its or their securities.

GS Factor Profile

The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:

Growth is based on a stock's forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock's forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock's forward-looking P/E, P/B, price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile).

Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics).

For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative. 

M&A Rank

Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2 representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research.

Ratings, coverage universe and related definitions

Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock's total return potential relative to its coverage universe. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List with an active rating (i.e., a stock that is not Rating Suspended, Not Rated, Coverage Suspended or Not Covered), is deemed Neutral. Each region manages Regional Conviction lists, which are selected from Buy rated stocks on the respective region's Investment lists and represent investment recommendations focused on the size of the total return potential and/or the likelihood of the realization of the return across their respective areas of coverage. The addition or removal of stocks from such Conviction lists are managed by the Investment Review Committee or other designated committee in each respective region and do not represent a change in the analysts’ investment rating for such stocks.  

Total return potential represents the upside or downside differential between the current share price and the price target, including all paid or anticipated dividends, expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The total return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership. 

Coverage Universe: A list of all stocks in each coverage universe is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage universe at https://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html.  

Not Rated (NR). The investment rating, target price and earnings estimates (where relevant) are not provided or have been suspended pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or in a strategic transaction involving this company, when there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints due to Goldman Sachs’ involvement in a transaction, when the company is an early-stage biotechnology company, and in certain other circumstances.  Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining an investment rating or target price. The previous investment rating and target price, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon.  Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended coverage of this company.  Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company.  Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information is not available for display or is not applicable.  Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.

The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may discuss in this report, trading strategies that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst's published price target expectations for such stocks.
