Tesla Inc. has seen a significant increase in its stock value since the recent election, gaining over $350 billion in market capitalization and closing at $352.56.
Analysts from UBS Group AG believe that this rise is more due to market enthusiasm rather than any substantial improvement in the company's fundamentals. They caution that while certain policy proposals from the incoming administration may appear favorable, such as a potentially more favorable regulatory environment for artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, the overall impact on Tesla could be mixed.
UBS analyst Joseph Spak has expressed concerns that the removal of consumer tax credits for electric vehicle purchases could require Tesla to lower prices. Despite the stock's momentum, Spak maintains a sell rating on Tesla shares, increasing his price target to $226 from $197. The stock's performance reflects a broader trend driven by market sentiment rather than concrete business advancements.
