Most optimistic analyst (12-mo high): $600 (+55%) — best-case analyst view, not a forecast.
Opportunities
- The mean analyst target implies about +3% upside over the next year.
- One of the more actively traded, headline-rich names around.
Risks
- Volatile — beta 1.9, so it tends to swing more than the market.
- Pricey on forward earnings (P/E ~178); a lot of growth is priced in.
- Little consensus: 12-month targets stretch $128–$600.
Analyst estimates over roughly the next 12 months — not a forecast, recommendation or guarantee, and frequently revised. Not investment advice; always do your own research.
Tesla is a US electric-vehicle and energy-storage company whose share price often swings on quarterly delivery figures, profit margins and shifting sentiment toward growth stocks. At Weltrade, a stock like Tesla is traded as a share CFD rather than owned outright, a product the broker offers on both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
