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

Strategic Insights -

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.
