UBS Upgrades Tesla to Neutral, Emphasizes Long-Term AI Potential

Deep News03:01

UBS has shifted its stance on Tesla, no longer maintaining a bearish view, citing that near-term demand challenges and long-term artificial intelligence opportunities now appear "more balanced." The firm raised its rating on Tesla stock to Neutral on Tuesday while reaffirming its $352 price target, which is only about 2% below the current trading level. Analyst Joseph Spak noted in a report, "Tesla stock is trading more on sentiment, narrative, and momentum than on fundamentals. We believe recent concerns over electric vehicle demand, a projected shortfall in energy business for the first quarter of 2026, rising costs, increased capital expenditure requirements, and slower-than-expected progress in robotaxi and Optimus developments have weighed on the share price. However, we do expect robotaxi and Optimus to eventually advance and continue to view Tesla as a leader in physical AI." Tesla's stock recently rose more than 3%.
