Go Bullish, Says FinServ

Coming to Tesla, this positive development comes after American investment bank and financial services group Stifel initiated coverage of Tesla and came out with a 'buy' rating for its shares. The St. Louis financial firm set a price target of USD 265 per share.

According to the group, investors should go 'bullish' on purchasing company shares. They advocated this by stating that the company has significant potential to grow in the next three years.

Tesla has not had the best time in the past few quarters. At the beginning of the year and at the end of the first quarter of 2024, the company reported a drop in sales for the first time since 2020 and subsequently also reported a dip in its overall revenue generated later on.
