Tesla's Deliveries Bounce Back, Wedbush Pumps Up Price Target

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has made a significant comeback in the eyes of Wedbush, the tech-focused investment bank, after the company's second-quarter delivery data revealed a higher-than-expected 443,956 vehicles shipped globally. This marks a 4.7% decline from the same period last year but a 5,654-unit increase from the street's estimate. Despite this, the shares have shown significant growth, closing at a 10% higher price and opening up 2.3% pre-market. Wedbush has raised its price target for the stock to $300 from $275, with a more optimistic "bull case" of $400.
