Morgan Stanley Cuts Tesla Price Target to $320
Morgan Stanley analysts, headed by Adam Jonas, have cut Tesla’s price target to $320 from $345, maintaining its buy rating but warning of a potential loss this year based on Gap accounting if demand slows. Jonas highlights other automakers’ EV and hybrid offerings, and states that Tesla’s product is relatively aged and not as exciting as it once was. Despite this downbeat analysis, Jonas does still see value in the stock. Tesla’s share price has suffered a rough slide so far this year, down around 30%.

Tesla is not the only game in town. While Elon Musk and Tesla have become household names, traditional automakers are catching up with their own electric and hybrid offerings, meaning Tesla’s product is relatively aged and what was once so exciting about it is beginning to fade. Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas warns clients of Tesla’s slowing demand and increasing competition in major markets like California, as well as China.

Tesla’s share price has slid by 30% so far this year, and it’s possible that there’s more downside ahead. However, Jonas argues that the stock is still worth buying because it’s not just an auto stock; it’s an energy play, a robotics play, and an AI play. Tesla may not be the only player in the game anymore, but it’s still a valuable piece of the puzzle.
Tesla’s Stock Performance Declines for a Third Consecutive Day
