Tesla produces Model 3 sedans and Model Y SUVs in Shanghai.

About Tesla

Based out of Texas, Tesla manufactures and sells fully electric vehicles, solar energy generation systems and energy storage products. It also operates a network of vehicle service centers and Supercharger stations.

TSLA stock closed almost 5% lower on Friday. It was trading 0.6% down in the pre-market session on Monday, at the time of writing.

Analysts’ Take

On February 14, Piper Sandler (NYSE: PIPR) analyst Alexander Potter maintained a Buy rating on the stock and increased the price target to $1,350 from $1,300 (57% upside potential).

In a research note to investors, Potter said, “Model Y is the biggest near-term growth driver, while chip supply is the limiting factor.”

At the beginning of this month, Jairam Nathan of Daiwa reiterated a Hold rating on the stock and lowered the price target from $1,150 to $980 (14% upside potential).

Nathan said, “The lack of new products from Tesla even as competitors introduce EVs at a torrid pace is raising concerns over the company’s ability to sustain its leadership position.”

Additionally, “margin pressures from a slower ramp-up at new factories could pose risks to near-term expectations.”

Overall, the stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 17 Buys, 7 Holds and 6 Sells. The average TSLA price target of $1,107.50 implies 28.8% upside potential. Shares have gained 32.2% over the past six months.
