Tesla Inc. climbed above $420 for the first time Dec. 23 as fresh financing arranged from banks in China added to optimism supporting a monthslong rally.
The electric car maker’s stock rose as much as 3.7% to $420.42, extending a streak of gains to a fifth day. Tesla is said to have lined up more than 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) in financing from local banks for its Shanghai factory as it prepares to begin deliveries of China-made Model 3 sedans in the country. An announcement probably will be made as soon as this week, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Investors will remember $420 as the value at which CEO Elon Musk claimed Tesla would go private last year.
