Commentary

Analyst targets show a wide spread—highs near $61 and multiple mid/high-$40s averages—indicating divided views on execution and EV ramp timing [#SERP-1][#SERP-3]. Reviewed branded snippets and consensus summaries suggest the market is largely pricing a cautious base-case near the anchor with a notable bearish tail; differences appear driven by assumptions on timing of program ramps and margin recovery [#SERP-2].
