Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has taken a crucial step to restore confidence among investors and employees, according to a recent note from Wedbush Securities. Despite an anticipated dip in Q1 deliveries, the firm maintains its bullish stance on the electric vehicle giant.
Wedbush expects Tesla to report first-quarter deliveries between 355,000 and 360,000 vehicles on April 2, marking a more than 7% year-over-year decline. The shortfall is attributed to delays in the Model Y refresh and ongoing brand perception challenges, compounded by controversies surrounding Musk’s involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and political polarization around Tesla.
However, analysts believe Musk’s recent all-hands meeting marked a pivotal moment. “Musk did a very good job in our opinion discussing the Tesla long-term strategic vision, autonomous, robotics, and showing leadership at a time it was very needed for the Tesla story,” Wedbush stated.
Despite short-term headwinds, Wedbush reiterated its “Outperform” rating and a $550 price target. The firm highlighted upcoming catalysts including the highly anticipated Cybercab, expansion of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, and the launch of a more affordable vehicle later in 2025.
“2025 is a very important year in the history of Tesla,” analysts wrote, suggesting that Tesla’s innovations in robotics and autonomy could usher in a new era of growth for the company.
With Wall Street looking beyond short-term delivery setbacks, Wedbush’s outlook reinforces optimism that Tesla’s tech-driven roadmap will fuel its long-term market leadership in the EV and AI mobility space.
