Ark Invest JUST Released NEW Tesla Predictions!! [Full Details]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh my gosh kathy wood and arkan vest
just released their new tesla
bull thesis i have not looked at it yet
i'm so excited we're gonna go break it
down
right now we've been waiting for this
for probably about six to eight weeks
now it's always been coming like oh it's
coming in one to two weeks for like the
last eight weeks
anyway it's here haven't looked at it
yet super excited uh really hyper about
this and it's like 10 o'clock at night
but anyway we got to do this this is
great
really quick let's start with what wall
street is projecting okay so wall street
is projecting
that by 2030 tesla will do a
somewhere around just under 400 billion
dollars of revenue by 2030 okay so wall
street is at
400 billion dollars which if you use a
70 times earnings multiplier and some of
the math that i did i broke this down in
another video
you get to a price of about seventeen
hundred dollars that's twenty thirty
seventeen hundred dollars if you use
tesla's gigawatt calculations and you
use some reasonable estimates with that
you get to around double that 700
billion dollars
now my base case is around 750 billion
dollars
which puts the price somewhere around 3
200 in 2030
and a bull case of having this share
price be around 6
000 in 2030 okay that's what we've
covered before but folks
now we're going to get into what ark
invest just said and
oh oh man uh i'm oh my gosh i'm just
taking my first glance at this here and
it's gonna be juicy folks it's gonna be
juicy so buckle up
let's get the apple pencil let's get
right into it here we go oh
snap arc invest price target for tesla
2025
five years before what i'm using okay
they're projecting to 2025 and remember
i was projecting
14 million cars maybe they'll do 12
million cars
as a worst case scenario was my
projection for 2030 okay
keep that in mind as well we've got a
2025 here here we go
uh last year eric estimated that in 2024
tesla share price would hit seven
thousand dollars per share or 1400
adjusted for the split uh in 2024
based on our updated research we now
estimate that it could approach
more than double that what three
thousand dollars in 2025
whoa that is my base case scenario well
my base case scenario is 3 500
by 2025 and over six thousand dollars by
2030
they're thinking they can get to my base
case or almost my base case
in uh five faster years or five fewer
years that's crazy how are they coming
up with these numbers
to arrive at this forecast arc used a
monte carlo model okay so this is where
you just put a bunch of data in and it
spits out this really weird looking
graph with a bunch of projections
it's just google it go to google images
type in monte carlo and you'll see it
uh high and low forecast incorporating
40 000 simulations
whatever okay so they put it into their
machine fine okay scenarios
expected value three thousand dollars
this projection is our base case
whoa that's not even their bull case
three thousand dollars
so their base case uh is
roughly my base case five years later
and i like to be
extremely conservative with my
fundamental analyses
this is why i get pissed and i did a
video titled i'm pissed about tesla's
valuation
because people are ragging on me like
kevin you're you're too bullish you're
too bullish i'm like man
i didn't even include all the possible
revenue because i do that as a way to be
conservative
they're thinking we could get to my base
case scenario five years earlier
remember my bull case 6k 3500 for my
base case they're basically at 3 000
uh at in 2025 this is incredible uh they
are at a
bull case of four thousand dollars
exceeding
uh my base case in 2030 they have a bowl
case of 4
000 in 2025 we believe that there is a
25
probability that tesla could be worth
four thousand dollars per share or more
in 2025 25 probability that tesla could
be worth fifteen hundred dollars per
share or less in 2025.
by the way twenty like fifteen hundred
dollars
if we go to the wall street scenario we
get uh
fifteen hundred dollars approximately in
twenty thirty
they think like worst case twenty-five
percent chance
or fifteen hundred dollars or less you
know probably not much less but a little
bit less
in uh in 2025. this is crazy this is all
five years earlier this is amazing okay
let's look at the numbers here
so uh cars sold so this is now the 500k
uh example bear case five million cars
10
million cars in their bull case for 2025
how how are you going to achieve 10
million cars in 2025 i mean maybe
but i'm just i'm going to pull up my
tesla ramp here
this is this is my tesla ramp chart
right here
and i by 2025 i'm at six million cars
and that's including two new factories
after giga berlin
austin fremont shanghai all get to full
capacity at a million each
holy smokes i mean i get to i get to
maybe six mil
cars uh which which kind of aligns over
here with that's their bear case
basically oh my gosh
okay average selling price okay so i use
42 000
as my average selling price they but i
also include full self driving in my
average selling price
so i kind of lump that together so i use
42 000 they're using a 2025
bear a 45k oh my gosh
and a bull case uh
their bull case of 10 million cars only
uses 36 mil or
36 thousand dollars per car okay
interesting so higher in their bear case
but lower in their bowl case
i got it electric vehicle revenue uh 367
billion
what oh my gosh okay okay okay okay here
we go so in their bear case they're
basically giving
zero dollars of revenue to autonomy
uh and they're giving in their bowl case
327
million dollars in value to autonomy
i mean my sales in my bull case
uh for 2030 my sales
and this would be everything related to
the cars is uh around
672 billion dollars so my 2030.
so uh let's put this kevin 2030
bull is 672
billion by 2030 okay if their bull case
is 20 25 and they're basically saying
uh if we add these together that's about
the same number that's pretty dang close
that's 690-ish billion dollars five
years earlier that's
ambitious they really think this uh that
that self-driving the autonomy network
is gonna be
really really valuable and they're
really low actually on insurance
and i guess it makes sense if you're
going to put all your revenue into
autonomy uh you you would not do that my
base case scenario for insurance has
way more revenue wow they're actually
they're not excited about insurance now
this is also a company by the way that
does not like lemonade insurance
so they are not excited about insurance
clearly here
human driver ride hail revenue so they
almost think that it's possible that
humans could be doing the ride hailing
maybe the car drives
automatedly but somebody has to sit
there and it's not going to be as
profitable that way
this is this is insane i'm going to
highlight like the the insane portion
here
let's go let's pick a red color here and
we'll just put uh this red circle right
here around this 327 that is a big big
big big number but even their bear case
scenario is very very high
what in their bare case scenario they're
using a
40 gross margin excluding credits
for the car no freaking way elon's
vision was getting the 30 percent in uh
in the future like long run 30 they're
saying 40
okay all right interesting uh
okay all right i mean uh maybe they're
really valuing that full self-driving
high but wow
total gross margin 43 50 over here well
over here again they're using the
autonomous so it makes sense that the
margin would be higher here
averaged out even to margin that's very
very high
30 to 31 wow this is this is incredible
uh okay then we've got a potential
market cap so market cap comparison
market cap arc invest thinks tesla's
going to have a market cap of between
1.5 trillion dollars to 4
trillion dollars in 2025.
kevin's bull case scenario oh my gosh
has them at ok ok so my bowl case
scenario
has them in 2030 at a 6.8
trillion dollar market cap and my base
case scenario
puts them at a market cap well let's do
the quick math here really quick
so we're going to put a formula in here
shares outstanding 1.1
times the share price in the future
there we go
uh so that puts them at about 1.12
it's kind of my base case scenario for
uh
for tesla in 2030 jeez
i mean that that's incredible oh my gosh
so my bold case scenario
is about seven billion dollars in uh in
2030
that's my bull and kind of like hey my
in my opinion my kind of like worst case
bear case almost
i call it my base i just i'm really just
doing bass and bull here's what i'm
doing
they're doing uh baron bull fine uh so
we've got
uh for me i've got a bowl of almost
seven trillion dollars in 2030
with a base of 1.1 in 2030
they are they're really really excited
here
uh at least 1.5 billion dollars and
2025 and four billion or sorry for
1.5 trillion dollars in 2025 and four
trillion dollars
over in uh in their bold case scenario
uh absolutely incredible let's see what
else we have here okay
so uh let's see capital efficiency let's
keep going a little bit here percentage
of all tesla's
on the autonomous platform so they're
thinking that worst case scenario nobody
really adopts the ride hailing that's
how they're using the estimate here
but they really think in their bulk case
scenario up to 60 percent of users
are going to be adopting this autonomous
driving scenario
or the ride-hailing scenario entering
their vehicles into
uh ride sharing very interesting we
pushed our forecast
forward one year to 2025 we refined our
estimates for capital efficiency we
added insurance to the business model
barely though
they're not excited about that insurance
for sure
uh okay we have increased our
assumptions for tesla's capital
efficiency
previously we estimated that tesla would
spend eleven thousand to six hundred
thousand dollars per incremental unit of
capacity in 2024.
in 2019 uh tesla spent 1.3 billion on
capital expenditures and produced
500 9 000 vehicles an increase of 144
000 vehicles from the previous year
right suggesting that capex per
incremental vehicle was roughly
uh nine thousand two hundred dollars
okay got it so
actually way lower than their
expectations here uh
they're they're thinking maybe on chart
for about ten thousand three hundred and
thirty dollars
in uh with a sixty percent increase in
vehicle production
okay probably overstates their thinking
all right let's get to a little bit more
info here
so arc estimates that tesla could
achieve better than average margins on
insurance thanks to highly detailed
driving data absolutely completely agree
but they're not really excited about how
much money it's going to make right now
we know it's only available in
california
uh okay because its vehicles have better
than average
safety profiles tesla should be able to
use real-time data to offer insurance
in its vehicles pricing it dramatically
lower basically
pricing it dynamically rather lowering
customer acquisition costs
increasing margins gotcha okay if
they were to sell to 40 of vehicles
with their own insurance tesla's
insurance revenues could approach 23
billion dollars annually in our bear
case
in our bull case tesla's insurance
revenues
uh let's see will be incorporated into a
platform fee
ah okay okay okay so that
that explains why this insurance number
was so low
because i'm like wait a minute why is
this insurance number so low in their
bull case
basically they're thinking the insurance
is something that's going to be
part of this 127 billion dollars
that makes me feel a lot better because
i broke out the insurance and i'm like
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa that is pretty
freaking low so that makes sense
human-driven ride hailing ark's bear
case now includes tesla's opportunity to
launch
human-driven ride-hailing service uh and
and this is their bear case right
oops that's supposed to be the
highlighter here there we go uh
previously arc detailed that a human
driven riot hailing service would have a
lower cost structure than of incumbent
companies
laying the foundation for a fully
autonomous ride-hailing network
in our bear case ride hailing could add
an additional 20 bill to operating
profits by 2025
increasing our price target about 20 uh
about 500 so they're putting about
500 of weight on ride hailing
with human involvement uh they think
human involvement at first
and uh basically as sort of a fail-safe
of the uh limiting the downside of a
failed autonomous
service right if people don't uh take up
the autonomous service like there's no
guarantee that humans are gonna be
comfortable with this right
uh so okay then in our latest valuation
model ark assumed that tesla 30
only 30 chance of delivering fully
autonomous driving in five years ah okay
okay in five years
now arc estimates that the probability
is 50
so they think there's a 50 chance by
2025
that we will have full self-driving and
full self-driving ride hailing
arc estimates that tesla's vehicle fleet
gives it access to
20 to i'm sorry 30 to 40 million miles
of data per day
up from 20 million per day last year if
successful tesla could scale its robo
taxi
service rapidly allocating the
additional cash in turn to manufacturing
capacity
serving its autonomous network oh my
gosh they're basically saying
they're going to get so rich off the
robo taxi network and their bull case
scenario
that they're going to have so much extra
freaking cash that they're going to be
able to scale more factories
that's how they're getting to these
crazy numbers uh so
quickly because i'm like where is the
money i'm thinking myself
like for my scenarios like where is the
money going to come from
to make all the factories that you would
need in your bowl case scenario here
kathy the bull case scenario
is 10 million cars sold in 2025.
i'm at 14 mil in 20 30.
i'm at six mil in 2025 where's that
money coming from to produce these extra
factories
it's built into their autonomous
ride-hailing uh bull thesis here
tesla could generate an additional 160
billion in ebitda by 2025
in our book case scenario ride hill
would account for the majority of
tesla's enterprise value whoa
basically they're look i mean they are
so bullish on uh this uh
the the ride hailing that they basically
think this could be
this is like this is the real profit
center for this company here
it's not selling cars it's ride-hailing
they're very very bullish in this
remember i incorporated ride-hailing and
autonomous and all that all those
potentials just into the cost of the car
and the reason i did that is look if the
average cost of the car because they
introduced maybe a 20 25 000
vehicle if in 2030 the average cost of
the car is
including full self driving 20 30 uh
somewhere around 42 000 including the
self driving
and there's maybe a you know small
commission to use your car and ride
hailing but it's your car
uh you know you're making the profit
from this minus a small fee or whatever
a service fee for
for tesla uh you know that's that's how
i came up with my 42
roughly my 42 000 in revenue per car
they are much much more bullish here
so note that autonomous driving uh
pushes the distribution of our expected
price targets up significantly as shown
below yeah you don't freaking say
uh the first chart represents the
likelihood uh just
a likely distribution of possible price
targets in our monte carlo analysis
while the second chart shows scenarios
okay got it so their base case here
fifteen hundred dollars expected value
three thousand dollars but they have a
bull case scenario here of four thousand
dollars
uh and they really think there's a small
chance oh my gosh
look at this i mean they're roughly
estimating here that there's maybe even
this five percent chance
of tesla literally just going to the
moon and uh and having this the share
price of potentially eight thirteen
eighteen twenty three thousand dollars a
very very bullish
scenario mixed within price targets as
shown above
okay these these are the odds right
tesla delivers robo taxi
uh this is this is really where they
think the money is right here in the
robo tax scene
uh and they've got this scenario over
here this green one
that's tesla produces more than four
million vehicles but does not meaningful
meaningfully sell into vertically
integrated ride hailing
and that's what i think so i'm a little
bit more of this green here that this is
like
you know robo taxi is going to be a
thing but it's going to be more of a
a profit for the person who bought the
car not necessarily for the company
now we'll see and it's oh look these are
all of this just makes me more bullish
right i'm not going to revise my
estimates right now i'm going to digest
this a little bit more
but this just makes me more bullish i
mean i bought more tesla today in the
dip
uh if you watched me live you you saw me
buy another like
86 thousand dollars like i put my money
where my mouth is tesla goes down
and i say buy the dip what do i do folks
what do i do come on
we got a shirt okay to the freaking moon
we got the rocket ship and on the back
of this shirt
which you could get at metkevin.com
merch it says buy the dip
okay in many of our low end case uh
cases we model production constraints
limit tesla to fewer than four million
vehicles produced per year exactly
that was my concern is that like without
this crazy
inflow of cash which they're thinking is
going to come from autonomy
it's going to be slower to ramp to get
to all of these vehicles produced
well uh let's switch to angles here
there we go while technological and
logistical bottlenecks prevent the
launch of both human
driven and autonomous ride-hailing
networks oh okay maybe at the same time
as shown in okay as shown in gray got it
that's the last scenario
production when production is not
constrained a human driver ride hill
network increases the expected price
target range
okay all right got it so they're still
giving a boost here even if we have
human-driven vehicles in ark's tesla
price target
please note that electric vehicle and
robo-taxi business lines generate
roughly 40 and 50
of a tesla's expected market cap
presumably here respectively is what
they're saying
the average values uh from our monte
carlo simulation respectively yep
respectively
in 2025 bingo exactly so the
the way they're getting to this really
really bullish thesis here
is they're putting in their bull thesis
way more money on this robo taxi taking
over
and in their base case scenario they're
kind of in line with me in production
uh in production i was thinking maybe
six mil by 2025
without this big push in robo taxi
they're thinking five mil
so they're actually a little bit lower
than me on that uh but
their price target uh actually exceeds
mine
so uh and that's because they think
margin is going to be actually way
higher than i'm even estimating it at
they are very very bullish on the tesla
margin conclusion
given our updated outlaw updates
outlined in this blog arcs price target
for
uh 2025 is three thousand dollars my
gosh my base case scenario is three
thousand dollars
five years after this and again maybe
i'm too conservative like some people
look i got a lot of hate for for my
price targets but i'm like
look hate on me all you want i think i
don't think i'm gambling like i think
i'm being conservative
listening to arc here now i
i feel like i sound even more
conservative like wow
wow but anyway uh arc
by the way if you want to chat about
this and you want to join me in my
private live streams remember to take
advantage of that coupon code
that does expire very soon as we're
waiting for those stimulus checks to
come in
use that thirty eight percent off coupon
code uh similar sex i'm expecting to
probably end this uh
either this weekend or monday we'll see
where we wanna end this
uh mostly because there are people still
emailing me asking to get into the
programs with their stimulus funds
uh and i can't wait to see you in the
private livestreams that i hold every
single day
that the market is open and you get all
my buy sell alerts as well so check that
out link down below
let's keep going here we published our
model on github okay cool so we'll check
that out
uh we do not oh whoa whoa whoa whoa
what what
what oh you gotta be freaking kidding me
what oh my god
this is the gift that keeps on giving
folks do you are you seeing this
we do not model tesla's utility energy
storage or solar business in our models
they're not even modeling the power
packs are you freaking kidding me this
is going to be such a huge
profit center in the future oh my god
you think these price targets are
possible and you're giving
zero value to the energy division oh
oh my gosh this is the most bullish
thing i've seen in
tesla or about tesla like ever
what what
what oh i'm melting i'm melting
oh my gosh oh my gosh they are
oh my gosh they are so so bullish
uh wow that is that is freaky okay
let me go to my base case scenario here
really quick for me
okay this is my base case scenario for
2030
and like i'm happy with this look if i
get to
and i think i'm going to exceed this
because i tend to be very conservative
when i do these estimates
i think i'm going to be at least a 20
return
year over year compounded for the next
10 years investing in tesla
and some people after 2020 like
especially investors who started in 2020
it's like ha 20 i made 80 of 20 20.
2020 was an anomaly okay warren
buffett's average long-term rate of
return is 17
and that includes the crazy high
inflation years uh where rates of return
were substantially higher back in the
70s and 80s so keep that in mind
but anyway i think i could basically
match warren buffett
at the very least with with tesla in
in sort of a and this is a with a with
my base case scenario
on tesla not not bullish there we go
that's my base case scenario my
bull puts me at about a 24.2
rate of return i think we're going to
get to this in 2030 uh but
look folks i mean i'm including energy
i'm including
way more money uh but then again 4x the
insurance over arc
five years later that makes sense i'm
including way more money over here
in energy but in their bowl case
scenario they think they can get to this
kind of revenue with 2025 for their cars
which i don't have projected out until
2030. this is extremely bullish
if you are a tesla holder and and you're
investing off numbers that in my opinion
like these numbers that are conservative
uh and i know some people are gonna be
vomiting thinking like that's
conservative
fine whatever uh arc should just
make you feel even freaking better i
mean just literally
rock it to the moon uh check out the
course link down below and folks
we'll see in the next one thank you so
much for watching if you found this
helpful consider sharing and
wow bye
