What the analyst said
Jefferies analyst Philippe Houchois reiterated on January 29, 2026, a ‘Hold’ rating and $300 price target on Tesla.
“Tesla delivered its most interesting earnings call in many quarters.
Healthy beat on core auto margin and cash.
Outlook vague and low in numbers, except a whopping $20bn capex for 2026 and beyond across 6 units.
Multiple launch milestones likely to be missed and undermine confidence in earnings.
Funding may become a topic despite a $44bn cash pile. Announced investment in xAI suggests meeting supercompensation targets may rely on Musk-related corporate deals.”
