Part 9/12:
Financial Outlook and Price Targets
Tesla’s stock price targets are being revised upward by notable institutions. Mizuho has increased its target, and Bank of America raised theirs from $225 to $300 while maintaining a neutral rating. These upgrades often coincide with positive sales reports and industry optimism, especially with aggressive discounts offered on Model 3s that now start under $30,000 after incentives—making Tesla more accessible than ever.
In fact, with only 8% of new U.S. cars priced below $30,000, Tesla’s affordability adjustment could significantly increase market share. The company’s strategic discounts, including a recent model 3 markdown exceeding $4,000, aim to accelerate sales and clear inventory.
