Tesla - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Tesla
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Tesla:

  • Tesla reported a strong quarterly earnings result with an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.72, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.58. This indicates robust profitability and effective cost management, which can attract investors looking for companies with solid financial performance.
  • The company's stock price is currently around $418.10, reflecting a significant increase from its 12-month low of $138.80. This upward trend may suggest positive market sentiment and growth potential, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
  • Tesla's revenue for the latest quarter was $25.18 billion, showing a 7.8% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Consistent revenue growth can indicate a strong demand for its products, particularly in the electric vehicle market.
  • The firm has a market capitalization of $1.34 trillion, positioning it as a leader in the automotive and energy sectors. A high market cap often reflects investor confidence and can lead to increased stability in stock performance.
  • With a return on equity of 10.24% and a net margin of 13.07%, Tesla demonstrates effective use of shareholder equity and profitability, which are key indicators of a company's financial health and operational efficiency.

Tesla
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Tesla for these reasons:

  • The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 116.58, which is significantly higher than the average for the automotive industry. A high P/E ratio may indicate that the stock is overvalued, suggesting that investors could face a correction if earnings do not meet high expectations.
  • Insider selling has been notable, with significant shares sold by key executives, including the CFO and a director. This could signal a lack of confidence in the company's future performance or a potential overvaluation, which may concern investors.
  • The company has a beta of 2.36, indicating higher volatility compared to the market. This means that Tesla's stock price can fluctuate significantly, which may pose risks for investors seeking stability.
  • Despite beating revenue expectations, Tesla's reported revenue was below analysts' forecasts of $25.47 billion, which could raise concerns about the company's growth trajectory and market competitiveness.
  • The debt-to-equity ratio is low at 0.08, which generally indicates a conservative approach to financing. However, it may also suggest that Tesla is not leveraging debt to fuel growth, potentially limiting expansion opportunities compared to competitors who may be more aggressive in their financing strategies.
