Chris Pierce has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that balance Tesla’s promising long-term prospects with its current challenges. While there is potential in Tesla’s ventures into autonomy, robotics, and a new lower-cost vehicle, these opportunities are countered by immediate obstacles such as a softer demand environment and increasing vehicle inventory.
Furthermore, the valuation of Tesla remains high, necessitating a significant multiple on future adjusted EBITDA to justify any potential upside. Despite the optimism surrounding Tesla’s growing rideshare network and the anticipated increase in Full Self-Driving adoption, the company is still in the early stages of its robotics business and is trailing in the autonomous rideshare sector, which tempers the enthusiasm for a more bullish rating.
In another report released today, Robert W. Baird also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $320.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 53 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
