Wolfe Research analyst Emmanuel Rosner is optimistic about Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) robotaxi business, projecting potential revenue growth of $250 billion by 2035 with 30% autonomous vehicle penetration and 50% market share. Rosner describes 2026 as a “catalyst-rich year” for the company, supported by anticipated launching of robotaxes in seven new markets. However, he also notes that Tesla may incur losses of up to $500 million as it scales its fleet from 250 to 7,200 vehicles this year.

Currently, Tesla’s market cap is approximately $1.25 trillion, but challenges such as high build-out costs for the robotaxi fleet and competition could hinder short-term earnings. The stock trades at about 192 times forward earnings, reflecting optimism about future growth despite struggles in its core electric vehicle business.
