Tesla Faces Market Challenges Amid Stock Price DeclineTSLA has seen its stock price plunge nearly 12% over the past month.
Nevertheless, analysts like Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas maintain a positive outlook. He has raised his price target to $430 and labeled Tesla as a “Top Pick” for investors this Monday.
This optimistic stance rests on Tesla’s focus on expanding into autonomous ridesharing and embodied AI, which are seen as pivotal areas for the electric vehicle (EV) leader.
Jonas emphasized Tesla’s unique competitive edge, stating, “We see embodied AI as the driver for upside to the revised $800 bull case.” The company’s integrating robotics, AI, and energy storage, coupled with Elon Musk‘s collaboration with companies like SpaceX and xAI, positions Tesla as a key player in the shifting global transportation landscape.

From a technical perspective, Tesla’s situation is intriguing. Its current price of $387.90 is below both the eight-day ($397.07) and 20-day ($423.36) simple moving averages (SMAs), indicating a short-term bearish trend. On the other hand, the 50-day SMA at $367.59 and a much lower 200-day SMA at $246.63 suggest there could be buying opportunities ahead.
The MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) for Tesla is at 5.40, and its RSI (relative strength index) stands at 46.92, both indicative of neutrality, leaving traders uncertain about the stock’s forthcoming direction.
Despite these complexities, Tesla’s ambitions in mobility are serious. Jonas believes that the company’s autonomous rideshare services will create recurring revenue streams with high profit margins. He noted, “The >1 billion miles traveled per day we forecast Tesla will achieve by 2030 positions it uniquely,” highlighting the company’s advantage in utilizing its fleet data to lead in the competitive autonomous vehicle market.
Although the stock’s short-term outlook is uncertain, Tesla’s innovative strategies in embodied AI and robotaxi fleets have encouraged investors to remain optimistic for long-term success. As such, many are ready for what lies ahead.
