Tesla
Tesla’s stock has faced a turbulent start to 2025, down roughly 28% year-to-date by February and suffering a 15% drop on March 10—its worst day since 2020. By March 14, it’s likely hovering around $230-$250, reflecting a 45% decline from its December 2024 peak of $479.86. Key pressures include Elon Musk’s distraction with Trump administration duties, weakening EV demand (sales dropped 50% in Europe in January), and margin erosion from price cuts and idle capacity. Brand backlash tied to Musk’s political moves and vandalism reports add to headwinds.
However, potential catalysts loom: anticipation for autonomous driving updates (e.g., unsupervised FSD trials by mid-2025) and the refreshed Model Y rollout could spark recovery. Today’s Michigan Consumer Sentiment data release might also sway market mood.
Analysts are mixed—targets range from $225 (UBS) to $325 (average), with a "Hold" consensus. Short-term, volatility persists; long-term, AI and robotics bets could drive upside if executed well. Watch $200 support and $300 resistance.
