Published On Dec 5, 2024, 12:27 PM
Tesla's stock is rising following bullish remarks from Bank of America (BofA) after a visit to its Giga Austin factory. BofA's lead analyst, John Murphy, expressed increased confidence in Tesla's growth potential from 2025 onwards, particularly due to plans for a low-cost electric vehicle (EV) expected to be launched by the first half of 2025 and the upcoming expansion of Tesla's robotaxi service. The price target for Tesla shares has been raised from $350 to $400. Murphy highlighted that Tesla's full self-driving (FSD) software shows promise for upcoming product offerings that could improve margins. Additionally, Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, is expected to play a significant role in future operations.
