Wedbush Securities has added Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) to its “Best Ideas List”, citing an upcoming innovation cycle that could drive massive growth. The firm maintained its “Outperform” rating with a $550 price target, emphasizing Tesla’s leadership in EVs, AI, and autonomous driving.
Despite recent stock volatility and concerns over Elon Musk’s distractions, Wedbush remains bullish, predicting a game-changing sub-$35,000 EV launch by mid-year. Analysts believe this affordable model could reignite demand and push Tesla toward a two-million vehicle annual delivery rate.
Another major catalyst is the unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) rollout in June, which Wedbush values at $1 trillion in a sum-of-the-parts analysis. Analysts anticipate Tesla dominating the autonomous vehicle sector, with other automakers potentially licensing its FSD technology.
Wedbush also highlights Tesla’s Optimus robot program and AI-driven initiatives, projecting they could contribute up to 90% of Tesla’s valuation and push its market cap beyond $2 trillion.
While some investors worry about Musk’s political ties and involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Wedbush estimates that less than 5% of Tesla’s global sales are at risk. The firm suggests a pro-deregulation environment could benefit Tesla, shaping a federal autonomous roadmap that aligns with its long-term vision.
With these advancements, Tesla continues to solidify its position as a leader in EVs, AI, and self-driving technology, making it a top pick for long-term investors.
