KeyBanc Sees 81% Upside In This Autonomous Driving Technology Company

KeyBanc analyst Todd Fowler initiated TuSimple Holdings Inc TSP with an Overweight rating and a price target of $50, implying an upside of 81%.
Fowler believes fully autonomous capabilities represent a "must-have" technology for the for-hire trucking industry, given the potential to lower the cost to serve and improve asset utilization.
Additionally, the analyst thinks the company's for-hire carrier model and its Autonomous Freight Network, combined with potential expansion outside of the U.S., broadens the addressable market.
Lastly, Fowler mentions assuming commercialization is achieved around 2024/2025 and absent regulatory hurdles, minimal additional capital may be required to fund operations.
