Tesla shares climbed nearly 9 percent on Monday as investors reacted to Elon Musk on Friday evening predicting “the most amazing quarter in our history.”

The electric-car maker finished the day up 8.5 percent, at $285.50, a boost that was also fueled by Baird analyst Ben Kallo urging investors in a note to stick with Tesla “even with the drama.”

“We recently toured the Fremont factory and came away incrementally positive,” Kallo wrote, adding that the electric-car maker’s Gigafactory “should be a competitive advantage for [Tesla] over the long term.”

Baird stood by its price target of $411 for Tesla — representing a 44 percent increase from Monday’s close.

Musk on Friday sent an email to employees saying that Tesla is about to have an “amazing quarter” in which it will deliver “more than twice as many cars as we did last quarter.”

The eccentric CEO — who last week caused a stir with investors when he smoked marijuana while doing comedian Joe Rogan’s podcast — told his workers that there would be “a lot of fuss and noise in the media” in the coming days, and to “just ignore them.”

“What you are doing is vital to achieving an amazing and sustainable energy future for all of humanity and life on Earth,” he added.
