Latest Analysts’ Views on TSLA Stock
Overall, analysts remain divided on TSLA stock, with some seeing strong upside from Tesla’s robotaxi and Full Self-Driving ambitions, while others remain concerned about slowing EV demand and margin pressure.
Most recently, Barclays analyst Dan Levy reiterated his Hold rating on TSLA stock with a $360 price target, implying about 10% downside from current levels. Levy recently commented on Tesla’s price increase for the popular Model Y, saying the company may be trying to offset rising costs for key materials such as memory chips and copper.
Among the bulls, Piper Sandler’s top-rated analyst Alexander Potter reiterated his Buy rating on TSLA with a price target of $500. This implies an upside of almost 24% from the current price level. Potter’s bullish view came after Piper Sandler released an updated report titled “The Definitive Guide to Investing in Tesla, 2nd Edition,” highlighting Tesla’s much broader business model today.
The firm estimated the value of Tesla’s 17 business lines at around $400 per share combined. Importantly, that estimate does not include Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot project. Potter stated that investors at that valuation are essentially getting exposure to Optimus for free. Overall, his full $500 price target includes the potential value of Tesla’s future products and businesses.
