Tesla Stock Rises 3% Following Cantor Fitzgerald Upgrade
Analysts cite Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi launch, FSD expansion, and diversification efforts as key growth drivers despite recent challenges.
- Cantor Fitzgerald upgraded Tesla's stock to 'Overweight,' setting a $425 price target, which represents an 81% upside from current levels.
- Tesla plans to launch its Robotaxi service in June 2025, alongside the expansion of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in China and Europe this year, pending regulatory approval.
- The company received a permit from California regulators to operate a ride-hailing service, advancing its autonomous vehicle ambitions.
- Tesla's stock has dropped 52% since December 2024, partly due to investor concerns over Elon Musk's political ties, but it has recently rebounded by nearly 3%.
- Long-term growth catalysts include the production of the Optimus Bot by 2026, the introduction of a lower-priced vehicle in 2025, and Tesla's energy storage initiatives.
