Tesla stock pops as Giga Austin visit has BofA bullish

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.

Stock Forecasts

Given the bullish sentiment from BofA and the positive developments in Tesla's product pipeline, including the low-cost EV and advancements in FSD technology, investor confidence in TSLA is likely to remain high. The increased price target and strong anticipated growth trajectory contribute to a favorable outlook.
