The bank estimates autopilot, insurance, energy, and everything else to be worth about 53% of a new street-high target price of $540 by 2030.
Investors should also consider comparing the company to other services companies, like Apple, Tinder, Roku, and video game makers, the analysts said.

Wall Street analysts have long compared Tesla to Apple and other tech giants more easily than its Detroit competitors.
Now, Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas has taken one of the strongest steps yet to do just that — and is including an array of companies including Tinder, Roku, and video game makers too.
For the first time this week, the bank included Tesla's ancillary services — like its autopilot software, home energy products, insurance, and the long-awaited Tesla network — in its valuation of the company, which now sits at a street high of $540.
"To only value Tesla on car sales alone ignores the multiple businesses embedded within the company, and ignores the long term value creation arising from monetizing Tesla's core strengths, driven by best-in-class software and ancillary services," Jonas said in a note to clients on Wednesday.
His 2030 "sum of the parts" valuation gives $254 per share to Tesla's core automotive sales category, which CEO Elon Musk has said will reach 500 million units this year. That's about 47% of his total target.
Tesla network services, comprising everything from the company's Supercharger network to driver-assistance software, premium infotainment, and performance upgrades — gets the next largest weight in Jonas' analysis, at $164 per share.
Ride-hailing, something Musk previously said would be in place with a million self-driving by the end of 2020, will be worth $38 per share by 2030, Jonas says.
Insurance, which Tesla launched in California last year, and a third-party supplier business, make up the final $73 per share of Jonas total target.
All together, the new weight on non-automotive revenues are another step in transformation from a product sales business to a services-heavy, recurring revenue business like Apple, to which Morgan Stanley has often compared Tesla. The iPhone maker, Jonas points out, has grown services revenue to 40% of overall profits.
But the comparisons don't stop there. Morgan Stanley says it consulted across teams for relevant comparisons to Tinder, Roku, and even video game makers.
"Yes, consumer behavior in a dating environment is relevant," Jonas said. "A real eye-opener for us."
Tesla's stock price is up 476% this year, fueled most recently in November by the company's addition to the S&P 500 index.
ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT), a late clinical-stage oncology-focused biotechnology company pioneering the development and commercialization of highly potent and targeted antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors, today announced that preclinical data related to camidanlumab tesirine (Cami, formerly ADCT-301) has been published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, the online journal of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer, in a paper titled, "CD25-targeted antibody-drug conjugate depletes regulatory T cells and eliminates established syngeneic tumors via antitumor immunity.”
The study evaluated the antitumor activity of a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer-based, CD25-targeted ADC, either alone or in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor, in CD25-negative syngeneic colon cancer models that exhibit tumor infiltration of CD25-expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs). Data demonstrated that single low doses of the CD25-targeted ADC resulted in potent and durable antitumor activity against established CD25-negative solid tumors with infiltrating Tregs, both as a monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitor.
Patrick van Berkel, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research and Development at ADC Therapeutics, said, "CD25 is expressed on Tregs that infiltrate the local tumor environment. We were pleased to see that our CD25-targeted ADC depleted CD25-expressing Tregs and not only showed strong anti-tumor activity as a monotherapy in preclinical models, but it also enhanced the activity of anti-PD1 treatment in these models. This study provides proof of concept for a new application of ADCs as immunotherapeutic agents and supports the continued evaluation of Cami in our ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial in patients with selected advanced solid tumors. We look forward to advancing the exploration of Cami as a novel immune-oncology approach for the treatment of solid tumors.”

About Camidanlumab Tesirine (Cami)
Camidanlumab tesirine (Cami, formerly ADCT-301) is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) comprised of a monoclonal antibody that binds to CD25 (HuMax®-TAC, licensed from Genmab A/S), conjugated to the pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) dimer payload, tesirine. Once bound to a CD25-expressing cell, ADCT-301 is internalized into the cell where enzymes release the PBD-based warhead killing the cell. This applies to CD25-expressing tumor cells, and also to CD25-expressing Tregs. The intra-tumoral release of its PBD warhead may also cause bystander killing of neighboring tumor cells and PBDs have also been shown to induce immunogenic cell death. All these properties of Cami may enhance immune-mediated anti-tumor activity. Cami is being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), as well as in a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial in patients with relapsed or refractory HL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a Phase 1b clinical trial in solid tumors.
About ADC Therapeutics
ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE:ADCT) is a late clinical-stage oncology-focused biotechnology company pioneering the development and commercialization of highly potent and targeted antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The Company develops ADCs by applying its decades of experience in this field and using next-generation pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) technology to which ADC Therapeutics has proprietary rights for its targets. Strategic target selection for PBD-based ADCs and substantial investment in early clinical development have enabled ADC Therapeutics to build a deep clinical and research pipeline of therapies for the treatment of hematological and solid tumor cancers. The Company has multiple PBD-based ADCs in ongoing clinical trials, ranging from first in human to pivotal Phase 2 clinical trials, in the USA and Europe, and numerous preclinical ADCs in development.
Loncastuximab tesirine (Lonca, formerly ADCT-402), the Company’s lead product candidate, has been evaluated in a 145-patient pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that showed a 48.3% overall response rate (ORR), which exceeded the target primary endpoint. Camidanlumab tesirine (Cami, formerly ADCT-301), the Company’s second lead product candidate, is being evaluated in a 100-patient pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after having shown an 86.5% ORR in HL patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The Company is also evaluating Cami as a novel immuno-oncology approach for the treatment of various advanced solid tumors.
ADC Therapeutics is based in Lausanne (Biopôle), Switzerland and has operations in London, the San Francisco Bay Area and New Jersey. For more information, please visit https://adctherapeutics.com/ and follow the Company on Twitter and LinkedIn.
