Consensus target price
As of April 5, 2017, Tesla stock yielded ~23% positive returns in the past year. According to Wall Street analysts’ consensus, Tesla’s target price for the next year was $254.76. It’s already much higher than its market price of $295.
Despite the recent rally in Tesla stock, most analysts maintained conservative price targets on Tesla. Concerns about Tesla’s ability to produce Model 3 on time along with skepticism about its 1Q17 results could be two primary reasons for conservative price targets.
Tesla’s consumers and investors have been loyal to the company since the beginning, which surprised critics on many occasions. Notably, Tesla has a huge fan base that sets it apart from other automakers including General Motors (GM), Ford (F), and Fiat Chrysler (FCAU).
