Recent research from Barclays has lowered its price target for Tesla stock by 15%, marking it down to $275. The firm cited concerns regarding Tesla’s financial stability and the company’s ability to meet its planned unit volume growth targets for 2025 as primary reasons for this adjustment. This move comes amidst mounting scrutiny over CEO Elon Musk’s involvement with the Trump Administration, which some analysts fear could negatively impact Tesla’s brand image. Despite these challenges, prominent investor Cathie Wood maintains her optimism about Tesla’s prospects, highlighting its strategic advantages in the U.S. supply chain in light of increasing tariffs. While analysts are divided on the exact effect of Musk’s political affiliations, many are focusing on upcoming innovations by Tesla as a key driver for future growth.
