Tesla inventory (NASDAQ: TSLA) received a loopy prediction from CEO Elon Musk lately, as the way forward for the corporate appears to be shifting extra towards AI, autonomy, and robotics, and away from automotive, which is what it has historically been acknowledged as.
Over the previous few years, as Tesla has prioritized its Full Self-Driving suite, its rollout of a devoted Robotaxi program, and the event of the Optimus bot, the corporate has gained a brand new fame from analysts.
It was all the time checked out as a inventory with super potential by many Wall Avenue companies, some greater than others.
Essentially the most bullish analysts, like Cathie Wooden of ARK Make investments, imagine the corporate will ultimately attain a multi-trillion-dollar valuation and a share value of over $2,000. Her $2,600 value goal doesn’t embrace any contributions of Optimus. As a substitute, it leans on Full Self-Driving and Robotaxi.

Based mostly on the place the corporate is now, there are a whole lot of potential catalysts. The Robotaxi enlargement, in addition to reasonably priced autos, its prowess in AI and Robotics, and its highly effective power division are all arguments for funding.
One X consumer mentioned {that a} $150,000 funding in Tesla proper now would doubtless make you a millionaire. Musk mentioned he thinks that sentiment is “in all probability appropriate.”

He’s echoed this perception in latest earnings calls, together with the one for Q2, which occurred in July:
“I do assume if Tesla continues to execute effectively with automobile autonomy and humanoid robotic autonomy, will probably be essentially the most useful firm on the earth. Loads of execution between right here and there. It doesn’t simply occur. Offered we execute very effectively, I believe Tesla has a shot at being essentially the most useful firm on the earth. Clearly, I’m extraordinarily optimistic about the way forward for the corporate.”
Tesla is buying and selling at $316.50 on the time of writing, and has a market cap of just below $1 trillion.
