Tesla Inc. (TSLA-Q) sat 2.8 per cent higher after a representative for the firm told Reuters on Thursday it will deliver its first China-made Model 3 sedans to the public on Jan. 7 at an event at its Shanghai plant.

The Shanghai plant is part of the Silicon Valley automaker’s plans to bolster its presence in the world’s biggest auto market and minimize the impact of the U.S.-China trade war.

Fifteen Tesla employees who had purchased the car were the first to take delivery on Monday after the first China-made vehicles rolled off the plant’s production line in October.

Before the bell, an equity analyst hiked his target for Tesla shares, seeing momentum heading into 2020.

On the decline

Tilray Inc. (TLRY-Q) dipped 4.3 per cent in New York after Israel’s InterCure Ltd said on Thursday its subsidiary Canndoc has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the B.C.-based company

Canndoc said to its knowledge this is the first medical marijuana imported commercially to Israel.

The Israeli company will also export up to 5 tonnes of cannabis for use in products marketed by Tilray, subject to Canndoc’s receipt of an export license. Canndoc will supply about 1.5 tonnes by the end of the second quarter.
