NASDAQ:TSLA
Going to do well, as long as Mr. Musk can temper his comments. 12-month price target of $243, decent runway. Everything's humming on the EV side. Plants all over the world. Batteries, chargers. Reported with very conservative guidance, downplaying growth. He thinks they'll surprise.
Hidden gem is Dojo, world's largest supercomputer, which collects data from all the TSLA cars around the globe. This provides a tremendous wealth of data and AI capability. No dividend.
TSLA’s share price was under pressure recently due to slow sales growth and a cool down in excitement from investors for EVs. We tend to hold companies in the long term, as anything can happen within 6 months. From the product standpoint, we think TSLA’s portfolio of products is still unique in the EVs market, growth is expected to accelerate to around 18% over the next few years as the company starts delivering cyber trucks. We don't really like stepping into negative momentum, but we think one could take a initial small position with a view to add later.

He's removing this from the Magnificent 7. It's fallen 16% year to date while all its peers have gained, especially Nvidia. Sales are flagging in China where a Chinese company is overtaking them. Meanwhile, US demand may be peaking. Also consider the declining value of their cards. The EV space is challenged unless Musk develops a battery that lasts twice as long as a gas car tank.
Great product, but hard to determine future of business. Return on equity capital not consistent. Unsure whether long term investors will benefit. Hope is not a good recipe for investors. Would caution investors on high stock price valuation. EV saturation also a concern.
