Tesla just reported that sales of its China-made vehicles surged nearly 40% in May, signaling that demand is bouncing back in the world's biggest EV market after months of fierce competition.

## Idea

China is Tesla's most important market outside the US, and a 40% sales jump suggests the demand fears that weighed on the stock were overblown. When a high-profile growth company surprises to the upside in a key market, the stock tends to keep climbing for days as analysts and investors reassess their estimates. JPMorgan is also calling for an earnings 'supercycle' in US stocks broadly, which creates a favorable tailwind for a company just proving its growth story is intact.
