Investing.com - Shares in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) fell more than 5% in early trade on Wednesday after analysts at Goldman Sachs said demand for the Model S sedan and the Model X SUV appears to have peaked as they downgraded their outlook on the company.
Goldman analyst David Tamberrino cut his six-month price target for Tesla to $180 from $190, a 49% downgrade from Monday's close.
The cut came after Tesla said on Monday that it delivered 22,000 vehicles in the second quarter, fewer than analysts had expected.
"We remain sell rated on shares of TSLA where we see potential for downside as the Model 3 launch curve undershoots the company's production targets and as 2H17 margins likely disappoint," Tamberrino said in a note to clients Wednesday.
"This comes as demand for TSLA's established products (Model S and Model X) appear to be plateauing slightly below a 100k annual run rate."
Goldman also forecast that the company would miss its production targets for the Model S sedan in the second half of the year.
"We still harbor supply chain concerns and believe a more prudent curve is warranted given historical operational execution."
