-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We raise our target by $55 to $380, based on a 2027 P/E of 129x, justified by long-term growth expectations. We raise our adjusted EPS estimates by $0.05 to $2.25 for 2026 and by $0.05 to $2.90 for 2027. Following its Q1 earnings release, we are raising our view to Hold (from Sell) and increasing our price target. We thought TSLA's Q1 earnings release was solid, as the company's FSD growth continues to exceed our expectations (active users +51% Y/Y), with the revenue stream helping drive significant improvement in TSLA's overall gross margin (+480 bps Y/Y to 21.1%). While we continue to have concerns regarding the company's spending binge (2026 capex now expected at $25B+, up from $20B+ in its prior earnings release), we are also more bullish on near-term margin and operating cash flow profile. Moreover, consensus estimates have come down to levels we think are more achievable and now consider the stock's risk/reward more balanced following TSLA's recent underperformance (-13.8% YTD vs. +4.3% for the S&P 500).
