Investing.com - Analysts at Wedbush have expressed renewed optimism for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) in a research note on Tuesday, raising their price target from $275 to $300, with a bullish case of $400 for 2025.
The note highlights a significant positive turnaround in Tesla's demand story, following stronger than expected Q2 deliveries that marked a "major turning point" for the company.
Despite expectations of a miss due to choppy global EV demand, Tesla delivered strong numbers, thanks in part to a "mini rebound" in China and pricing stabilization.
Tesla is now well on its way towards reaching a 2 million units annual trajectory over the upcoming quarters.
Wedbush analysts noted Tesla's undervalued position as an AI player in the market. This is expected to be underscored during the upcoming Robotaxi Day on August 8th, where Tesla is set to unveil its vision for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and an autonomous future.
This event is seen as a potential catalyst and a historical moment for the Tesla story.
Analysts perceive the autonomous and FSD vision as key to Tesla reaching a valuation over $1 trillion. The latest FSD v12.4 and ongoing China FSD testing are considered as inflection points. In a bullish scenario, the Tesla FSD segment alone could be worth $1 trillion.
Wedbush maintained its OUTPERFORM rating for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) with a 12-month price target of $300.
