Analysts Explain Why Elon Musk's Tesla Is 'Always In People's Minds' When They're Looking For Something To Trade'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) has become the top choice for individual investors in 2023, surpassing the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), according to Vanda Research. After a 65% drop in 2022, Tesla's stock has seen a significant recovery, more than doubling in value. Investors like Marko Sustic have increased their holdings, betting on Tesla's technological leadership. The company's visibility is partly attributed to Elon Musk's media presence and Tesla's coverage. Despite the positive outlook, analyst Craig Irwin from Roth MKM suggests caution due to potential future challenges. Tesla's popularity on WallStreetBets and the prospect of a sub-$30,000 electric vehicle by 2024, as predicted by Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, could further drive investor interest.
