Tesla stock closed 6.14% higher at $463.02 on Monday. The stock is up 86.39% year-to-date, according to data from Benzinga Pro, thanks to its rally since Donald Trump‘s landslide victory in the U.S. Presidential elections.
Analyst Take: Mizuho Securities analyst Vijay Rakesh on Monday increased the price target on Tesla to $515 from $230 and upgraded the stock’s rating from “neutral” to “outperform.”
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives earlier this week also raised the price target on the EV giant’s stock from $400 to $515. "…we believe the Trump White House will be a ‘total game changer' for the autonomous and AI story for Tesla and Musk over the coming years," Ives said in a post on social media platform X.
Why It Matters: Many, including Ives, are hopeful that Musk's newly forged friendship with President-elect Donald Trump will enable a better environment for the deployment of autonomous vehicles while his other policies against EVs will harm smaller rival players, effectively reducing competition for Tesla.
