特斯拉列入藍籌股！
週一，穆迪投資者服務公司成爲第二家給予特斯拉(TSLA.US)“投資級”信用評級的公司，穆迪將特斯拉的評級從Ba1上調至Baa3，前景展望爲“穩定”。此前，標普已於去年10月採取了類似行動。穆迪信用分析師在他們的報告中寫道：“我們現在更看好特斯拉的信用狀況，因爲它繼續在(電動汽車)領域展現出市場領導地位，穩健的製造效率支撐着強勁的EBITDA利潤率和持續的正自由經營現金流。”
穆迪高級信用官Rene Lipsch在聲明中寫道:“隨着該公司進一步鞏固其全球業務，特斯拉將保持其作爲純電動汽車領先製造商之一的地位。”
該信用評級機構還提到了特斯拉不斷擴大的產品供應，包括定於今年晚些時候投產的賽博卡車(Cybertruck)的早期生產，以及對效率和財務槓桿的高度關注。
特斯拉已經被許多投資者和分析師視爲藍籌公司。今年早些時候，它獲得了一筆50億美元的循環信貸安排，這表明它已接近投資級。根據媒體彙編的數據，這家電動汽車公司幾乎沒有未償債務，其五年期信用違約掉期的交易已經與高等級借款人一致。
穆迪評級的提升既有象徵意義，也有實際價值。從垃圾級上升到投資級的公司通常受益於更低的融資成本，因爲它們能吸引更多的投資者。傳統上，對於對評級敏感的投資者來說，至少獲得兩家機構的高評級背書就足以被正式視爲藍籌股。
信用分析師 Joel Levington稱：“這對特斯拉來說是一個歷史性的事件。我們仍然認爲，該公司的評級升級週期是有基礎的法。”Levington在去年10月份的一次採訪中表示，較低的財務槓桿和一流的利潤率解釋了評級公司穩步提高特斯拉評級的原因。
特斯拉的股價在2022年暴跌，週一上漲1.7%，收於183.3美元，今年迄今爲止上漲了近50%。2021年10月，該公司成爲首家市值超過1萬億美元的“垃圾級”公司。這家電動汽車製造商是全球市值第八大的公司，其估值幫助馬斯克成爲世界上最富有的人之一。
