What the analyst said
TD Cowen analyst Itay Michaeli assumes coverage on Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) with a Buy rating and a price target of $388.
“Both bull & bear cases have merit, but with the stock meaningfully pulling back, we’re tactically bullish on several potentially consequential catalysts this year (EV launches, AV eyes-off deployments, robotics).
Tesla also less-exposed to tariffs. Setup feels similar to last year’s. Q1 likely challenging.”
