Tesla's stock carries a BUY rating at $364.24, reflecting an 8% upside as the company pivots towards megapacks, robotaxis, and Optimus robots, which are now seen as more valuable than car sales. Despite a trailing P/E of 311, indicating high expectations for AI monetization, the company faces challenges, with predictions suggesting only a 10% chance of launching the Optimus robot by year-end.
This shift in focus is significant as Tesla's growth is increasingly driven by energy storage and AI-related services rather than traditional vehicle sales. The company's recent performance shows a 25.5% revenue growth to $28.24 billion, yet non-GAAP EPS missed estimates due to increased spending on AI and R&D. The energy sector, however, is expanding rapidly, with energy deployed reaching 13.5 gigawatt hours and a 56% increase in FSD subscribers.
Looking ahead, Tesla's potential for growth remains tied to its non-auto ventures, with a bullish scenario projecting a price target of $454.51 over the next 12 months. The robotaxi service is already operational in seven U.S. markets, boasting over 380,000 unsupervised miles driven, highlighting the company's commitment to expanding its AI capabilities in the transportation sector. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
