Chris Pierce has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Tesla’s current market position and future prospects. While Tesla continues to show strong operational discipline and leadership in electrification and energy storage, Pierce believes the stock is currently fairly valued, especially considering the aggressive long-term estimates for Full Self-Driving (FSD) and Robotics.
Despite Tesla’s decision to increase vehicle production, which indicates confidence in their FSD platform, there is still a lack of concrete real-world evidence, particularly with the Robotaxi platform that still requires a safety driver. Additionally, the upcoming Optimus version 3 faces high expectations. At the current stock price, Pierce feels that market enthusiasm is already largely reflected, leading to the Hold rating.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $350.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 55 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
