Tesla Inc shares are trading lower by 3.75% to $274.28 during Monday’s session. The stock is pulling back amid overall market weakness following last week’s 24% gain, its best performance of 2025.
Key Developments
Investor enthusiasm around Tesla last week was fueled by a mix of favorable policy developments and strategic company initiatives. Some of the key developments include:
- A new regulatory framework designed to accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles, a move widely viewed as a major boost to Tesla’s robotaxi ambitions
- The launch of new promotions to counter slowing domestic demand, including free transfers of its Full Self-Driving feature and 0% APR financing on select models
- The introduction of a more affordable Cybertruck variant and reaffirmed plans to release lower-cost models in 2025
Analyst Outlook
Analysts at Piper Sandler and Wedbush remain bullish, maintaining price targets of $400 and $350, respectively, citing Tesla’s potential in autonomy and new product rollouts. Despite some investor skepticism about the immediate impact of its robotaxi initiative, Tesla pressed forward.
Challenges and Risks
Challenges like rising insurance costs and public protests were also formally disclosed as risks in a recent SEC filing. These risks may hinder Tesla’s progress and impact its stock performance.
Investing in Tesla
To invest in Tesla, you can purchase a share or fractional share of stock through a brokerage platform. Alternatively, you can gain access to shares by buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
Stock Performance
According to recent data, TSLA has a 52-week high of $488.54 and a 52-week low of $157.40. Investors should carefully consider their investment options and weigh the risks and potential rewards before making a decision.
