‘Take the Plunge,' Says Top Investor About Tesla Stock
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is something of a Rorschach test, reflecting each investor's own hopes, doubts, and fears about the company and the market. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Are you a nuts-and-bolts, blue chip investor, interested only in the fundamental metrics of established companies that you can see and feel? Or, are you more of a risk taker, ready to buy into startup visions of grandeur? Both mindsets find fertile ground in Tesla – one reason the stock elicits such a wide range of emotions. And in 2025, the tug-of-war between the two narratives has been unfolding in real time. For instance, CEO Elon Musk's falling popularity earlier this year weighed heavily on global EV sales, sending the stock lower in the first half. Yet, the mood has shifted in recent months, as investors refocus on Musk's ambitions in self-driving, AI, and robotics – areas many believe could be Tesla's next trillion-dollar growth engine. That belief is shared by top investor James Foord, who is ready to take the plunge in what he calls a 'trillion-dollar startup.' 'Tesla is no longer just an EV company – it's an AI & robotics startup in disguise,' says the 5-star investor, who is among the top 2% of TipRanks' stock pros. Foord isn't blind to the near-term challenges, from tariff concerns to the loss of the $7,500 consumer tax credit, which have pressured operating margins. But the investor argues that the real story lies in the opportunities highlighted in Tesla's Q2 2025 earnings. 'The really important news is this: Tesla rolled out robotaxi operations in Austin, posted record profits in its energy division, (and is) targeting a massive rollout of its Optimus 3 over the coming years,' Foord asserts. In Foord's view, each of these segments holds billion-dollar potential. Energy remains Tesla's 'most overlooked business,' now delivering record profits. The Cybercab project could redefine ridesharing, taxis, and even personal car ownership. And with plans to produce 1 million Optimus 3 humanoid robots in the next five years, Tesla is reaching for an entirely new frontier. Even if some of these goals fall short, Foord believes the upside justifies the gamble. 'Elon shoots for the moon, and while he often misses, he still lands somewhere no one has been before. Tesla is a wild card, but it's a bet worth taking,' concludes Foord, who rates TSLA shares a Buy. (To watch James Foord's track record, click here) Of course, not everyone shares Foord's enthusiasm. Wall Street's view on TSLA remains sharply divided, with 13 Buys, 15 Holds, and 8 Sells, giving the stock a consensus Hold (i.e., Neutral) rating. The 12-month average price target of $305.37 suggests ~7% downside from current levels (See TSLA stock forecast).

Here's Why Joby Aviation Stock Flew Higher in July
Key Points Joby Aviation is leading the race to Federal Aviation Administration certification. The company's vertically integrated business model means that expanding its manufacturing capacity is even more critical to investors. Joby has the backing of key companies that will enhance its prospects of offering its air taxi services while running its fleet. 10 stocks we like better than Joby Aviation › Shares in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) company Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) soared by 57.9% in July, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The move came largely after the news broke that Joby announced the expansion of its manufacturing site in California and, in doing so, doubled its aircraft production capacity. In addition, Joby expanded a facility in Ohio that will manufacture and test components. It's an important development for two main reasons. Joby Aviation expands manufacturing capacity First, it's a sign of growing confidence in its ongoing certification process. The latest news on that front came from the recent announcement that Joby is "preparing for final assembly of its first conforming aircraft intended for Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) flight tests" with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Management expects to complete its first TIA flight this year as it moves toward final certification. Second, the news is particularly important for the company because of its vertical integration strategy. In this case, "vertical" means management is primarily designing and manufacturing its eVTOL components in-house. This differentiates it from eVTOL competitors like Archer Aviation or Vertical Aerospace, which have technology partners. As such, Archer and Vertical Aerospace both believe their business models should result in a quicker certification process and with less risk attached. However, it seems Joby is leading the field in terms of FAA certification, and expanding its manufacturing capacity helps de-risk the stock from one of investors' most significant fears: the possibility that its vertically integrated model will create manufacturing issues for a young company. Toyota's and Uber's involvement is key While Joby has a vertically integrated model, it also has investment from and a manufacturing alliance with Toyota. The Japanese car company has invested $894 million in Joby, and Toyota is working with Joby to help optimize its manufacturing processes. In addition, Uber has invested $125 million in Joby so far, with the eVTOL company acquiring Uber Elevate. This is a key part of Joby's overall business model, which involves owning and operating its own fleet of aircraft and offering transportation services (air taxis) itself rather than selling aircraft to other operators. Moreover, Delta Air Lines is on track to invest $200 million in Joby, with the intent to deliver a service to Delta customers traveling to and from airports. Joby's plans are ambitious, but they are perfectly feasible. The partnerships with Toyota, Uber, and Delta make sense, and Joby's management is de-risking the stock with its capacity expansion and progress toward certification.

Reddit Stock Pops After a Blowout Quarter, But Is It a Buy?
Key Points Reddit is growing quickly and it posted revenue of $500 million in the second quarter. Although the stock is up 260% in the last year, there are valuation concerns. 10 stocks we like better than Reddit › Two weeks ago, I wrote that Reddit (NYSE: RDDT) was one of my picks as a stock to buy on the dip and hold for the next decade. I was confident in the company's upcoming earnings report and its growing profits. Fast-forward to today, and Reddit is smoking hot, up 43% in the last week on the strength of its glowing second-quarter filing. The dip is over, but do you still have an opportunity to take a position in Reddit stock? Or should you wait for a better buying opportunity? Reddit shows huge numbers The biggest figure in the second-quarter earnings report is rapid revenue growth. Reddit reported $500 million in revenue, up 78% from a year ago, marking its fastest quarterly growth since 2022. It was the company's most profitable quarter. There was also a 21% increase in daily active users, a number that reached 110 million in the quarter. The company posted a profit of $89 million and $0.48 per share, versus losses of $10 million and $0.06 per share in the second quarter of 2024. Reddit stands out from social media platforms like Meta Platforms' Facebook and Instagram because, by design, its users are anonymous. The platform is organized into structured "subreddit" communities where people can talk about anything -- including their favorite games, cars, and movies, as well as current events. Because subreddits can be devoted to very specific topics, conversations are usually on point and user moderators can halt any spam or threads going off-topic. "For people, conversation and connection are becoming more valuable and rare," CEO Steve Huffman wrote in a letter to investors. "In a world increasingly dominated by algorithms and automation, the need for human voices has never been greater. We see this every day as nearly 50 million scrollers come to Reddit for their favorite communities, and 60 million seekers land on Reddit in search of better answers to their questions." The company posted Q3 guidance for revenue of between $535 million and $545 million, which would be a 55% gain from a year ago. What's next for Reddit? While Reddit gets more than 80% of its revenue from the U.S., it's taking steps to grow its international presence. The company is embracing machine translation in order to allow Reddit to expand in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and is currently targeting around two dozen languages. By expanding internationally, Reddit has the opportunity to increase marketing, add local content and contributors, and create specialized subreddits to serve international markets. While international revenue increased by 71% to $91 million in the second quarter, this is a massive opportunity to grow the company. Reddit is also embracing artificial intelligence (AI) to make its platform more relevant. The Reddit Answers tool is an AI search engine specifically geared toward Reddit content and can help people find answers on the platform. The company says its core search product has 70 million weekly users, and that Reddit Answers grew from 1 million users in Q1 to 6 million in Q2. By rolling Reddit Answers out globally, it can sell advertising in its search engine much as Alphabet's Google does. Should you invest in Reddit stock? By any measure, Reddit is an expensive stock, particularly compared to Meta, which operates the highly successful platforms Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. It's also more expensive than Snap, which operates the Snapchat platform: While I still think that holding Reddit stock is a good idea, I do think it's pretty pricey right now. Up 260% in the last year, Reddit appears to be overvalued; if I were buying a social media stock at these prices, I would lean toward Meta right now. I have full confidence that Reddit will hit its third-quarter revenue numbers, and I'm eager to see if it can increase its international audience and open the door for long-term revenue growth. Reddit is a solid stock, but I think investors should wait for a better buying opportunity before taking a position. Do the experts think Reddit is a buy right now? The Motley Fool's expert analyst team, drawing on years of investing experience and deep analysis of thousands of stocks, leverages our proprietary Moneyball AI investing database to uncover top opportunities. They've just revealed their to buy now — did Reddit make the list? When our Stock Advisor analyst team has a stock recommendation, it can pay to listen. After all, Stock Advisor's total average return is up 1,060% vs. just 182% for the S&P — that is beating the market by 877.64%!* Imagine if you were a Stock Advisor member when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $653,427!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,119,863!* The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.
