Tesla
Despite a year-to-date gain of more than 51%, shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) are down about 43% over the past 12 months. Now that most legacy automakers have a number of options available to compete with Tesla, investors have been concerned that Tesla’s margins and profits will suffer as the company has to cut prices (five so far this year) to remain competitive. Tesla bulls see a company with an insurmountable lead for at least the next several years as more plants are built, primarily to produce EVs in the neighborhood of $25,000.
Sentiment toward Tesla remains bullish. Of 36 analysts covering the stock, 19 have a Buy or a Strong Buy rating and 13 more rate it at Hold.
