Tesla: Safe Haven or Overvalued? Conflicting Analyst Views Spark Debate
Tesla continues to be a lightning rod for debate, with analysts offering drastically different outlooks. Deutsche Bank sees Tesla as a 2025 “safe haven” with margin expansion potential, boosting their price target to $370. BofA echoes this bullish sentiment, highlighting the Texas gigafactory and robotaxi potential, raising their target to $400. But Goldman Sachs throws cold water on the enthusiasm, lowering delivery estimates and suggesting Tesla might need further incentives to meet growth targets.
This stark contrast in perspectives begs the question: are we accurately pricing in Tesla’s future? Is the market overestimating the impact of robotaxis and FSD, or are the bears missing the bigger picture? Goldman’s concerns about delivery numbers raise another key question: is demand truly softening, or are we just seeing a temporary lull before the refreshed Model Y launch?
Adding fuel to the fire, the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s compensation package continues. A Delaware judge’s rejection, despite shareholder approval, raises questions about corporate governance and Musk’s long-term role. Wedbush predicts a protracted legal battle, even suggesting this could push companies to leave Delaware. This raises broader questions: how much power should a CEO wield, and what are the implications for Tesla’s future if Musk’s leadership is in question?
Finally, the emergence of competitors like Rivian adds another layer of complexity. Benchmark’s bullish outlook on Rivian, citing Amazon and Volkswagen partnerships, contrasts sharply with UBS’s downgrade of XPeng. How will the evolving competitive landscape impact Tesla’s dominance? Is there room for multiple players in the EV market, or will there be clear winners and losers?
Weigh in with your thoughts. What’s your Tesla price target for 2025? Are you bullish, bearish, or somewhere in between? Let the discussion begin.
