TSLA, PLTR, NVDA +... 2025 Bold Price Forecasts.
Nothing Is Cast In Stones.
When it comes to stock price predictions for 2025, it's important for investors to understand that even the "experts" can make dumb predictions.
Consider one of the most infamous calls in Wall Street history.
It happened in 2008 when Goldman Sachs strategist Abby Joseph Cohen stuck to her 1,675 target for the S&P 500 index, across the first part of the year even as the global financial crisis took shape.
[ For the record, the S&P 500 finished the year around 900, nearly -50% below that target. ]
There is no single metric that is a universal indicator of success in the stock market.
That said, the price targets set by leading investment firms are still worth a look.
Who knows one might learn something new in the process.
Analysts’ Price Predictions.
Stock price predictions, much like earnings reports or valuation metrics, are useful data points that should be considered in any investment decision.
Below stocks are all among the most popular investments now, with more than 90 million shares traded daily. (see below table)
They are also some of the most interesting companies to watch, given their:
-
Consensus stock prices’ predictions.
-
Potential for big moves in 2025.
Stock prices were as of 11 Dec 2024.
Due to real estate challenges, will select 5 stocks to share.
1. $BigBear.ai Holdings(BBAI)$
-
Market cap: $1.12 billion.
-
06 Jan 2025 closing price : $4.30.
-
2025 price prediction: $2.62.
The smallest stock on the list, AI-player BBAI is also the one that carries the biggest risks.
And it is not because it's relatively small, and “bigger & more established” players could easily shoulder it out of current deals providing AI solutions to (a) national security, (b) supply chain management and (c) digital identity firms.
Nor is it because BBAI operates in the red, that is common for small tech firms like this one.
It's because of above two factors, coupled with a current price that is almost +50% higher than the consensus target, make BBAI a stock that is hard to trust.
Stock price predictions are often incorrect, and it's worth noting that BBAI stock hit another all-time high of $4.81 on 30 Dec 2024. It remains up +105.5% TTM.
Still, investors looking to invest in red-hot AI companies may want to tread lightly in BBAI.
2. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
-
Market cap: $3.29 trillion.
-
06 Jan 2025 closing price: $149.43.
-
2025 price prediction: $171.78.
It is one of the highest-flying tech stocks with shares that have surged more than +2,000% in the last 5 years.
That's because it's at the center of several high-tech megatrends, including self-driving cars, AI, cryptocurrency mining and
Nvidia is a highest-flying tech company.
Its stock price has increased more than +2,170% in the past 5 years.
This is because Nvidia plays a key & crucial role in many exciting new technologies, like (a) self-driving cars, (b) artificial intelligence, (c) cryptocurrency mining and other growth-oriented areas of the 21st-century economy.
Given Nvidia's strong performance, it's understandable that it has grown significantly. However, some investors have been concerned that the stock price has risen too quickly.
As of now, the consensus NVDA price prediction is $171.78, hinting at continued upside.
3. $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$
-
Market cap: $172.21 billion.
-
06 Jan 2025 closing price: $75.92.
-
2025 price prediction: $39.57.
Born out of a data analytics platform created in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Palantir offers a "big data" platform that has been widely used by the US government and the private sector as a problem-solving tool for the modern age.
As a result, Palantir is one of the trendiest names when it comes to artificial intelligence, as it uses AI to provide actionable recommendations based on client databases.
With a great growth story and this AI megatrend behind it, the stock has soared more than +356% in 2024.
Unfortunately, there's a risk that the run may not last after a spate of downgrades in November and consensus price targets showing an expected -40% drop from current levels.
4. $Rigetti Computing(RGTI)$
-
Market cap: $3.7 billion.
-
06 Jan 2025 closing price: $19.51.
-
2025 price prediction: $3.50
Rigetti Computing is an under-the-radar small-cap stock that builds quantum computers and related processors.
It also provides (a) cloud data support, (b) algorithm development and other enterprise-level services.
Quantum computing (QC), a technology that uses (advanced) quantum mechanics to solve complex problems much faster than regular computers, might not be getting as much attention lately.
That said, it's still a potentially transformational technology, and investors are watching RGTI closely as a first-mover in the category.
Stock price predictions for RGTI are a bit of a shot in the dark, but overall consensus is significantly below current pricing. (see above)
That said, most analysts have been reiterating "Buy" ratings towards 2024 year end, so RGTI may still be worth holding if investor is an aggressive trader.
5. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
-
Market cap: $1.27 trillion.
-
06 Jan 2025 closing price: $411.05.
-
2025 price prediction: $249.76
Disappointing earnings numbers across part of 2024, along with the divisive behavior of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, caused many on Wall Street to sour on this one-time darling of Wall Street early in 2024.
With the re-election of Donald Trump in November, the situation changed in favour of the EV leader.
It's too early to tell and hard to know what will happen in 2025, considering both the political predictions in Washington and the market predictions on Wall Street can turn out wrong.
But for what it's worth, the consensus TSLA stock price predictions for 2025 point to a significant rollback in shares from where they are after a post-election bounce.
Even the bulls are not exactly bullish.
In early December 2024, Morgan Stanley's latest rating of "Overweight" included a price target of $400 a share, around where TSLA last traded on 31 Dec 2024.
My viewpoints: (mine only)
I strongly believed It was Google’s advancements in the Quantum space with its newest Willow chip that catalyzed rally on shares of Quantum stocks, including RGTI. (see below)
Have Google to thank, for bring attention back to Quantum computing. More importantly, it has renewed interest in the highest form of computing.
Even Tesla’s CEO was impressed by the speed of quantum processor.
Although still in nascent stage, here’s to hoping that commercialization of quantum computing (in the most basic format) could take place soon, so that interests in quantum stocks could persist.
As for PLTR & BBAI, if both companies are able to bring in more customers & sales, Wall Street will not care too much about their valuations being deemed as inflated.
Although analysts seemed to have a preference for commercial contracts over US defense ones. I wonder why, mystery of the mind I supposed?
As for Tesla, I am sure most readers would know by know that it failed to match its 2023 annual delivery of 1.81 million EVs.
For 2024, Tesla has delivered 1,789,226 EVs.
Question is whether Tesla’s auxillary businesses (eg. energy generation & storage) will help to make up revenue loss from EV sales and help to offset expenses.
As mentioned in my previous posts, Tesla stock price rose not because of tangible improvement in EV but his “closed” political association with the returning President.
At the end of the day - a sale is a sale, be it to a business or the government. As long as the bottom-line shines, that is mostly all that matters to Wall Street, no ?
