- Tesla China‘s wholesale sales surged in April, with 79,478 units of Model 3 and Model Y vehicles delivered from its Shanghai plant according to data from the China Passenger Car Association.
- TSLA stock rose over 3% Thursday morning, decisively clearing its 200-day line at $410, which analysts mark as a potential buy point for further gains into late 2026.
- The company’s recent recovery follows an eight-week slump, driven by updates on its AI5 chip, broad market gains, and a strategic pivot towards AI and robotics like the Tesla Robotaxi and Optimus robot.
Tesla stock surged over 3% on Thursday morning after new data revealed a significant jump in the company’s China deliveries for April, signaling a potential turnaround for the electric vehicle giant. The strong wholesale figures from its Shanghai factory, which includes exports, provided a crucial boost to investor sentiment after a challenging period.
Consequently, TSLA shares reached $410, decisively moving above their critical 200-day moving average. This technical milestone, according to analysts, could set up an aggressive entry point for investors forecasting gains into the second half of 2026. However, this rebound follows a difficult stretch where the stock finished down for eight consecutive weeks from February to April.
The slump was partly due to broader market weakness and disappointing delivery figures. Meanwhile, the stock’s recovery has been supported by positive updates regarding Tesla‘s latest AI5 chip and general market gains. Furthermore, the company’s strategic shift from a pure automotive focus towards Artificial Intelligence developments continues to captivate the market.
Therefore, the Tesla Robotaxi rollout remains a primary focus for investors at this time. Its Optimus robot and chip technology are also becoming larger priorities for Elon Musk‘s EV behemoth. The combination of rebounding sales in China and Europe could indeed mark the beginning of a substantial positive move for TSLA.
Heading into the second quarter, the Q1 earnings report provides investors with a solid foundation featuring stronger margins and a clean beat on EPS and revenue. Investor sentiment remains mixed, however, with key price targets ranging from $438 to $600. The market’s future pricing of TSLA will likely be shaped by its capital expenditure surge and the delay of its Full Self-Driving technology.
