Shares of Tesla ended the past week higher after several analyst firms raised their price forecasts for the stock. Wedbush Securities increased its target price on Tesla to $600 and maintained an Outperform rating. Wedbush stated it expects Tesla’s valuation could reach $2 trillion by early 2026 and potentially $3 trillion by the end of that year.
Dan Ives, a Wedbush analyst, said the company’s move toward autonomous driving and robotics is central to its strategy and a promising revenue source. Ives estimated that the artificial intelligence and autonomous market could bring an opportunity worth at least $1 trillion to Tesla. This outlook comes as Tesla faces ongoing sales challenges in Europe, especially the EU.
The EU has pushed back against Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk due to recent political actions and comments, particularly concerning Musk’s work with former President Trump’s cabinet. Despite these issues, Tesla’s stock was up about 10% for the year so far and 74% over the past twelve months as of Thursday trading.
Other firms also raised their outlooks. Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter increased the price target from $400 to $500 after visiting China, noting that Chinese automakers consider Tesla a leader in AI and self-driving technology. Potter pointed out rising competition in electric vehicles, but said, “Bottom line: Tesla remains our top idea for investing in autonomous vehicles and robotics.”
In addition, Baird analyst Ben Kallo upgraded the stock to Buy from Hold and raised the target to $548 from $320 per share. According to FactSet, 47% of analysts covering Tesla currently have a Buy rating on the stock.
Tesla continues to grow its presence in AI and automation, areas considered to have major potential for the company despite its current market challenges. Tesla remains a key focus for investors tracking the development of autonomous vehicles and robotics in the technology sector.
