Key Points Shares rose about 1.1% to roughly $395 as investors reacted positively to Elon Musk’s imminent Terafab AI‑chip project, which could lower costs and expand Tesla into higher‑margin autonomy/AI opportunities. Near‑term risks include mixed technicals after a close below the 200‑day moving average, intensifying competition from BYD, supply‑chain/legal uncertainty with graphite supplier Syrah, and significant insider selling that may boost volatility. Analysts are divided—MarketBeat shows a consensus Hold with an average price target of $406.84—while Tesla’s fundamentals include a $1.48 trillion market cap and a very high P/E (~366) despite a recent quarterly EPS beat. 3 ETFs to Avoid as Oil Shock Hits Markets Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA - Get Free Report) last announced its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday, January 28th.
