What the analyst said
RBC Capital analyst Tom Narayan raised the price target on Tesla to $500 (from $325) while maintaining an ‘Outperform’ rating on the stock.
“Autobots Rollout! Integrating Humanoids into Our Valuation Post-Berlin Gigatour
We hosted investors at Tesla’s Giga Berlin facility, where a key discussion point was on TSLA’s Optimus humanoid robot.
We estimate TSLA could capture 5% of our projected ~$9T humanoid robot market by 2050.
Incorporating this into our analysis, we raise our PT to $500 on humanoid math.
We estimate Tesla’s market penetration of the humanoid opportunity at 15% in the US, 8% in the EU, and 4% in China.
Applying these assumptions, Tesla could generate $404B in humanoid-related revenue by 2050.
Using a 10.0x revenue multiple and discounting back 24 years, we calculate a $638B valuation contribution from the humanoid segment, equating to $182 of our $500 price target.
TSLA’s humanoid robot segment accounts for 36% of its total valuation, Robotaxi contributes another 37%, followed by FSD at 11%, Cars at 8%, and Megapacks at 8%.”
