Wedbush: Tesla as the “Most Undervalued AI Play”
Meanwhile, Wedbush Securities raised its 12-month price target on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) to $500 (from $350) and kept an Outperform rating, calling Tesla “the most undervalued AI play in the market today.”
Key arguments from Wedbush:
-
Autonomy catalyst: Launch of Tesla’s autonomous platform in Austin marks the start of a “golden age” for FSD and the forthcoming Cybercab service.
-
$1 trillion opportunity: AI and autonomy market could rival the scale of leaders like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet.
-
Adoption upside: FSD penetration above 50% would transform Tesla’s recurring-revenue model and expand margins.
