Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Buy Right Now: Panasonic Corporation (PCRFY)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
The production issue for batteries may improve with added input from partner Panasonic (OTCPK:PCRFY). They currently produce battery cells for Tesla in Nevada, and in Japan. At their recent earnings call CEO Kazuhiro Tsuga said they were looking at manufacturing battery cells at a new plant in China in conjunction with Tesla. They also predicted their automation energy business profit would double this year. This can be seen as a vote of confidence in Tesla and a bullish sign for Tesla stock. However, according to reports in the Nikkei Asian Review, there is as yet no definite commitment for a joint venture in China. Panasonic is the world's largest battery supplier for EV's.

Tesla expects to triple its energy storage business this year but its problem has been getting supply to meet the demand. Panasonic's announcement is probably connected to a very substantial energy storage contract win just announced by the company.
