Elon Musk received approval last week for a $1 trillion compensation plan during a Tesla shareholder meeting. This package awards Musk 12 portions of shares over the next ten years if Tesla meets particular milestones. It also increases his voting control within the company.

Since the announcement, Tesla (TSLA) shares have fallen sharply. The stock closed Thursday trading at just above $401, marking a 6% drop in 24 hours, its largest single-day decline since the previous summer. Tesla’s stock has also declined about 10% over the past week and nearly 8% during the last 30 days.

Despite recent declines, analysts like Wedbush’s Dan Ives remain bullish on Tesla’s long-term outlook. Speaking at the Yahoo Finance Invest event, Ives described the pay plan approval as a “bright green light” for Tesla’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous technology development. He predicts Tesla will control roughly 80% of the autonomous vehicle sector within the next decade and set a Street-high $600 price target.

On Wall Street, Tesla holds a Hold consensus rating, based on 14 Buy, 10 Hold, and 10 Sell ratings issued over the last three months. After a 38.38% increase in share price over the past year, the average analyst price target stands at $382.54, implying a potential downside risk of about 4.6%. At the time of reporting, Tesla stock trades near its 52-week high and remains above its 200-day simple moving average.
