Analyst ratings are quantitative and qualitative analysis of a stock by Wall Street stock rating analysts. Stock ratings consist of expected future growth, current stock valuation and macroeconomic trends.

Tom White's

Tesla cars.

A Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) analyst is significantly lowering the price target on the stock with concerns on full self-driving pricing and vehicle demand.



The analyst note comes with continued reports of low sales and used vehicle prices.



The Tesla Analyst: RBC Capital analyst Tom Narayan maintained an Outperform rating on Tesla while lowering the price target from $440 to $320.



"Much of the attention around Tesla has centered on its recent delivery performance in Jan and Feb in Europe and China," Narayan said.



Demand fears are likely overblown, according to Narayan. Europe and China, where Tesla is losing market share, represent a small portion of Tesla's overall vehicle sales, he adds.



Along with the potential for demand concerns, the analyst lowers FSD pricing assumptions and robotaxi penetration rates.



Narayan said FSD pricing could drop from $100/month today to $50/month in 2026.



"Level 2+ autonomy offerings are increasingly becoming standard features with some OEMs intentionally not seeking to make it a profit center, but rather as a product differentiator."



Tesla could also see lower than previously anticipated market share for robotaxis in Europe and China. It&#8217;s likely that domestic OEMs "dominate the market,&#8221; he says.



The latest price and market share changes lead to a lower sum-of-the-parts valuation with FSD going from $383 billion to $211 billion and robotaxis going from $879 billion to $641 billion.



Narayan also forecasts lower deliveries with an estimate of 11% delivery growth in fiscal 2025, down from an original forecast of 14% delivery growth.



Why It's Important: The big question from Narayan and other analysts is whether the lower delivery numbers are due to "political dynamics,&#8221; or have to do with the planned factory shutdowns for the Model Y refresh. Perhaps it&#8217;s a combination of both.



Electrek recently highlighted the sharp decline in used car prices for Tesla vehicles. The report said Tesla used car prices are falling three times the rate of the overall used car market.



Using data from CarGurus, the report said Tesla used prices are down 3.7% over the last three months and down 7.3% over the last year, compared to drops of 1.1% and 2.7% respectively for the overall used car market.



Among Tesla vehicles, the used car prices for the Cybertruck and Model S have been hit hardest falling 11.5% and 8.3% respectively over the last three months.



Benzinga recently polled readers to see if President Donald Trump&#8216;s purchase and praise for Tesla would impact their future vehicle-buying activity.



&#8220;Donald Trump recently bought a Tesla. How does this affect your view of Tesla?&#8221; Benzinga asked.



Here are the results:



<ul>
<li>I will never own a Tesla: 53%</li>



<li>I&#8217;m more likely to buy a Tesla:&nbsp;23%</li>



<li>I&#8217;m less likely to buy a Tesla: 14%</li>



<li>I already own a Tesla: 10%</li>
</ul>



The poll may have some bad news for Tesla fans and investors with the majority saying they will never own a Tesla vehicle.



The good news is that of undecided non-Tesla owners, 23% said they are more likely to buy a Tesla while 14% said they are less likely to buy a Tesla on account of Trump&#8217;s purchase and sales pitch for the EV company.



Tesla&#8217;s sales have dropped sharply in recent weeks, accompanied by demonstrations and vandalization against the company&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44135841/elon-musk-slams-attacks-on-tesla-vehicles-after-incident-in-brookline-vandalism-is-not-free-speech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">vehicles</a>, dealerships and charging hubs, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/tesla-vehicles-destroyed-vandalized-musk-began-role-white/story?id=119677836" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ABC News</a>.

A recent report from Electrek citing inventory checks and new order delivery timelines in the U.S. shows that so far Trump&#8217;s purchase and event has had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44346155/trumps-tesla-shoutout-falls-flat-no-spike-in-orders-or-inventory-movement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a minimal impact&nbsp;</a>on Tesla&#8217;s sales and demand.



Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter sales figures, which will include the month of March will be among the most watched in recent years given boycotts, sales declines in Europe and now Trump&#8217;s sales pitch.



TSLA Price Action:&nbsp;Tesla stock is down 6% to $223.76 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is down 41.0% year-to-date in 2025 and up 28.8% over the last year.



Tesla stock is now trading below where it was when Trump won the 2024 election. Tesla stock closed at $251.44 on Nov. 5 and opened for trading at $284.67 on Nov. 6 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trump&#8217;s victory was confirmed</a>.



The stock is down over 50% from all-time highs set in December.

<h2>Delving into Lyft's Background</h2>
Lyft is the second-largest ride-sharing service provider in the us and Canada, connecting riders and drivers over the Lyft app. Incorporated in 2013 and public since 2019, Lyft offers a variety of rides via private vehicles, including traditional private rides, shared rides, and luxury ones. Besides ride-share, Lyft has entered the bike- and scooter-share market to bring multimodal transportation options to users.
<h3>Financial Milestones: Lyft's Journey</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Reflecting a smaller scale, the company's market capitalization is positioned below industry averages. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Growth: Lyft's remarkable performance in 3 months is evident. As of 31 December, 2024, the company achieved an impressive revenue growth rate of 26.6%. This signifies a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company stands out with a growth rate higher than the average among peers in the Industrials sector.
Net Margin: Lyft's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of 3.98%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Lyft's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 8.68% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): Lyft's ROA falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 1.15%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Lyft's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 1.53, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

What Analysts Are Saying About Lyft Stock

The White House;s Stance

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of America&#8217;s largest corporations on Tuesday, amid growing economic concerns and a recent slump in stock values.



What Happened: Trump&#8217;s meeting with around 100 CEOs is part of a regular gathering of the Business Roundtable in Washington. This influential group includes leaders from major U.S. companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>). BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) CEO Larry Fink and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) CEO David Solomon are also likely to be part of the Business Roundtable as per Reuters.



Chuck Robbins, the CEO of Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), is the Chair of the Business Roundtable.



Despite prevailing market concerns over Trump&#8217;s policies, the White House remains optimistic. White House spokesman Kush Desai told Reuters, &#8220;Industry leaders have responded to President Trump&#8217;s America First economic agenda of tariffs, deregulation, and the unleashing of American energy with trillions in investment commitments that will create thousands of new jobs.&#8221;



Earlier in March, Business Roundtable CEO Joshua Bolten extended support to Trump&#8217;s agenda, like creating more American jobs or increasing investment in domestic businesses and manufacturing. However, Bolten urged Congress to find a common ground for agreement on tax reforms, significant regulatory reforms, and the removal of the recent tariffs.  &#8220;These tariffs, especially if they are long-lasting, run the risk of creating serious economic impact,&#8221; stated Bolten.

Why It Matters: The meeting comes at a time when the market is experiencing turbulence, largely due to fears of inflation and economic downturn. U.S. stocks experienced a significant drop on Monday, with the S&amp;P 500 down nearly 3% since Trump&#8217;s election and 4.5% down for the year. 



Tom Lee, the research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, has labeled the recent stock-market plunge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44244329/tom-lee-predicts-market-stabilization-following-mondays-overreaction-foresees-may-rate-cut">as an overreaction</a>, predicting market stabilization and a potential rate cut in May. Lee highlighted Tuesday&#8217;s Business Roundtable as one of the events that could lead to market stabilization and allay investor concerns.



However, the overall sentiment remains cautious, with investors closely watching the outcome of the meeting and the future direction of Trump&#8217;s economic policies.&nbsp;

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of America&#39;s largest corporations on Tuesday, amidst growing economic concerns and a recent slump in stock values.

Trump Set To Meet Top Executives From Apple, JPMorgan And Other Giants In Business Roundtable Amid Economic Concerns And Market Downturn: Report

Us,Financial,Inflation,Crisis,With,Stock,Market,Graph,,,Economy

Tom Lee, the research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, has labeled the recent stock-market plunge as an overreaction.



What Happened: Lee&#8217;s comments come in the wake of increased recession probabilities from Goldman Sachs and Moody&#8217;s economists, and the stringent trade policies of Canada&#8217;s incoming prime minister, Mark Carney. These elements, according to Lee, have exacerbated investor anxieties, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tom-lee-calls-mondays-stock-market-tumble-an-overreaction-what-to-watch-now-c1f53e63">reported</a> MarketWatch.



Despite the current market turbulence, Lee anticipates potential stabilization. He noted that investors are assessing the scale of trade disruptions, comparing their impact to Brexit, and drawing parallels with the response to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s 2022 comments on the economic measures necessary to curb inflation.



However, Mark Newton, head of technical strategy at Fundstrat, stated that while investors have not yet sold-off their assets completely, there are indications that a market low may be nearing.



Why It Matters: This comes after Monday&#8217;s heavy selloff, which saw the Nasdaq 100 index (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) fall 12.56%, and the S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) drop 8.67% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44242600/us-stocks-likely-to-open-higher-after-mondays-selloff-tsla-stock-rebounds-from-its-worst-fall-in-5-years-after-trump-backs-musk-analyst-says-pullbacks-are-normal">from its previous high</a>. While the Nasdaq 100 had entered the correction zone last week, the S&amp;P 500 was nearing the same territory. The S&amp;P 500 lost $4 trillion from its high on Feb. 19 when Wall Street was optimistic about Trump&#8217;s policies.



U.S. stock futures, however, rose on Tuesday following the selloff, indicating a potential rebound. While most analysts see this as a sign of a bearish market, Tom Lee still sees prospects of stabilization. 



According to Lee, President Donald Trump&#8216;s impending remarks at the Business Roundtable, scheduled for Tuesday, are also expected to draw significant attention. Tom Lee mentioned, &#8220;Observers&nbsp;will be attentive to whether&nbsp;CEOs can influence White House&nbsp;tariff policies amid growing backlash,&nbsp;including opposition from Senator Rand&nbsp;Paul.&#8221;



Lee also highlighted the importance of key data from the job openings report, the consumer price index, and the producer price index, as well as the Friday deadline for government funding are likely to contribute to market stabilization. He also noted a surge in&nbsp;the probability of a May&nbsp;rate cut to 49%, as per the CME's FedWatch tool, indicating the Fed's implicit backing.



The viewpoint of Mona Mahajan, the investment strategist at Edward Jones resonates with Lee. She stated that pullbacks are typical and that a bear market had not been confirmed.

Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.

Analyst Expectations For Yext&#39;s Future

What Happened

Renowned economist and market commentator Peter Schiff called for a Congressional investigation Monday into President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent cryptocurrency announcements, citing potential insider trading and manipulation.



What Happened: In an X post, Schiff wanted clarity on several questions tied to Trump&#8217;s strategic cryptocurrency reserve declaration on Sunday. 



&#8220;Who authored the two Sunday afternoon posts on the President&#8217;s Truth Social account? Who knew about the first post in advance, and when were they first informed of the wording of the post and the timing of its release,&#8221; Schiff asked.



Notably, Trump announced the inclusion of XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) in the first post, sending the altcoins skyrocketing.



However, after a couple of hours, Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114093946326587357" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) would be at the &#8220;heart&#8221; of the reserve, causing a rally in the two blue-chip coins as well.

Additionally, Schiff sought details of how much those with &#8220;advance notice&#8221; spent on the five cryptocurrencies, as well as how profit they made selling them.



&#8220;We also need all emails or text messages that involve any members of the President&#8217;s staff, his or their family or friends, his campaign donors, or Truth Social employees, that relate to either of the two Sunday Truth Social posts,&#8221; Schiff added. 



Former White House communications director&nbsp;Anthony Scaramucci&nbsp;shared Schiff&#8217;s concerns. saying, &#8220;This hurts and doesn't help the industry.&#8221;

The White House and Trump&#8217;s son Eric Trump didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.

Investor anxiety over tariffs loomed as the March 4 deadline for tariff imposition on Mexico and Canada neared. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6369522376112">told</a> Fox News on Sunday that President Donald Trump would decide if the government will stick to its plan to levy 25%. 



Also, China will be charged an additional 10% tariff on Tuesday, as highlighted by Trump in his Truth Social post. Furthermore, reports suggested that Mexico may agree to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to avoid the duties threatened by Trump.

According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 95% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Cues From The Last Session



Information technology, financial, and consumer discretionary sectors led the charge as U.S. stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44069254/nasdaq-jumps-300-points-as-nvidia-tesla-stocks-surge-investor-sentiment-improves-but-greed-index-remains-in-extreme-fear-zone">closed higher</a> on Friday.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) climbing 3.9%.



Further bolstering investor sentiment was the release of PCE data, which showed the price index declining for the first time in four months. This data reinforced expectations, as indicated by the CME FedWatch tool, for approximately two quarter-point cuts to the Fed funds rate in 2025 after June.



The Dow Jones closed 601 points or 1.39% higher at 43,840.91 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.59% to 5,954.50, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.63% to 18,847.28. The small-cap gauge Russell 200 advanced 1.09% to 2,163.07.

Insights From Analysts



Ahead of the first trading day in the new month of March, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, highlighted that this is &#8220;a solid month overall&#8221; but the bulls start to show up only after mid-month.

</div></figure>



Mapping the historical data 1950 onwards, Detrick added that March, April, and May are usually solid months in post-election years.

He further highlighted that every fifth year or the years ending with &#8216;5,&#8217; tend to be quite strong, except 2015 during which S&amp;P 500 was lower by less than 1%.

Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates suggests that the S&amp;P 500, currently riding a &#8220;very strong rally,&#8221; is due for a correction towards its rising 200-day moving average, which stood at 5701.50 as of last Friday.



According to Navellier, the index has yet to test this key moving average which did not happen in 2024, making a pullback increasingly likely. He says that the timing of this correction, whether in February or March, hinges on &#8220;multiple policy announcements by the White House,&#8221; which can be triggered by either economic or geopolitical events.



Navellier contends that the White House has been the &#8220;primary driver of volatility in stocks,&#8221; making short-term predictions difficult. He further asserts that this deliberate uncertainty serves the President&#8217;s strategic objectives.
