- Noting the substantial spread between SolarCity's (SCTY) share price and Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) acquisition price, Baird analyst Ben Kallo sees a short-term trading opportunity in SCTY and predicts with an 80% probability that the merger of the two companies occurs.
- Kallo also thinks SCTY’s recent cash equity sale and positive regulatory developments in Nevada have helped to reduce concerns over the company’s ability to monetize its assets and worries that additional states may use Nevada as a precedent for changes in net metering programs.
- For the long term, however, Kallo keeps a Neutral rating and $25 price target on SCTY.
