Here's the forecast for the Tesla share price

The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) share price is very volatile for a mega-cap stock. The company has long excited investors with its futuristic ambitions, from fully autonomous vehicles to humanoid robots, and even operations on Mars. However, analysts are increasingly cautious about the valuation despite the bold promises. The price target The average 12-month price target from 37 Wall Street analysts is currently $307.23. That's compared to a share price of $335.58 as I write. Forecasts vary widely, with a high of $500 and a low of just $19. The consensus suggests that the stock's overvalued however, it's around fair value if we exclude GLJ Research's incredibly bearish take. But Tesla's valuation metrics should make investors think twice. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio's an insane 198.87 times. That's more than 1,000% higher than the consumer discretionary sector median. Other indicators — including enterprise value-to-EBIT, price-to-sales, and price-to-cash flow — are also clearly elevated. Optimism baked in Much of the optimism baked into the share price concerns Tesla's ambitions beyond electric vehicles (EVs). As we know, CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly suggested that Robotaxis and the humanoid robot Optimus could transform the company's future and justify a far higher valuation. However, timelines for both are relatively vague. And there have been a few disappointments of late. The full rollout of Robotaxis has faced several delays, and full regulatory approval for autonomous vehicles remains a significant hurdle. Optimus, meanwhile, still appears far from commercialisation. Even if these technologies prove viable, questions remain over consumer adoption, pricing power, and competitive threats from other automakers and tech firms. In the case of robotaxis, infrastructure, insurance frameworks, and city-level policy are all really important, but none of these are within Tesla's direct control. As for Optimus, while the demo videos have drawn headlines, the path from prototype to scalable, revenue-generating product is uncertain. Investors may be underestimating how long it could take before either platform contributes materially to Tesla's earnings. The bottom line Investors have been here before. Some argue that the firm has a track record of delivering against the odds, particularly in scaling its EV operations. Yet recent numbers suggest growth may be slowing. What's more, the consensus forecasts show earnings per share (EPS) falling 30% in 2025. While there will likely be a rebound in later years, this is a considerable drop. Analysts anticipate EPS growth of 82% by 2028, though such long-range estimates are inherently uncertain. There's also not many analysts forecasting through to 2028. This puts investors in a challenging position. While the long-term vision's exciting, today's share price is heavily reliant on future breakthroughs rather than current performance. For those who believe in Tesla's ability to disrupt multiple industries, the current price might still make sense. However, I believe it's still a rather speculative investment. And that's simply because those valuation figures are incredibly hard to justify. As much as I like the brand, I don't think investors should consider the stock right now.

Why LVMH Stock (MC) Is Catching Wall Street's Attention

French luxury products company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, or LVMH (FR:MC) (LVMUY), is drawing strong support from Wall Street as several analysts maintain their Buy ratings. The recent wave of bullish ratings came despite the company reporting a challenging Q2 for 2025. Year-to-date, MC stock has declined more than 25%, reflecting broader market pressures on the luxury sector. 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. LVMH is a European fashion house known for its iconic luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Sephora, Fendi, Bulgari, and more. The company is primarily listed on the Euronext Paris exchange but also trades over-the-counter (OTC) in the U.S. LVMH Q2 2025 Results Overview In Q2, LVMH's core fashion and leather goods segment saw a sharp drop in sales, falling 9% year-over-year. The decline was larger than analyst expectations and marked the steepest drop among all of LVMH's business segments. This reflected continued weak demand for luxury products amid rising prices and economic uncertainty. Overall, LVMH's net profit dropped 22% year-over-year in the first half, while operating profit fell 15%. Looking ahead, the company warned that a full recovery will take time as it faces an industry-wide slowdown, with softer demand from Chinese shoppers and ongoing uncertainty among U.S. consumers. Wall Street Analysts Stay Bullish Despite the lackluster results, analysts have maintained their buy ratings on MC stock. Four-star-rated analyst Luca Solca at Bernstein reiterated his Buy rating on MC stock at a price target of €600, implying more than a 30% growth rate. Sola stated that the recent results showed effective cost control despite weak demand. He added that focus will now shift to how the company tackles its challenges and the potential impact on its business in the second half of the year. Likewise, RBC Capital's analyst Piral Dadhania maintained his Buy rating. He noted that while LVMH's recent underperformance presents a 'fairly attractive' risk/reward, it is supported by an expected near-term boost in Fashion & Leather Goods from easier comparisons. Is LVMH Stock a Good Buy? Overall, MC stock has received a Moderate Buy rating on TipRanks, backed by a total of 19 recommendations from analysts. It includes 10 Buys and nine Holds assigned in the last three months. The LVMH share price target is €565.14, which is 20% higher than the current trading level.

'Breakthrough EVs': Ford Stock (NYSE:F) Notches Up on New Battery Details

An electric vehicle (EV) is only as good as its battery, at the end of the day. Legacy automaker Ford (F) is likely aware of this, and has a novel new prospect coming as a result. The new line of EVs Ford has on tap will have an unexpected feature: a much smaller battery. But this is less a problem than you may think. In fact, Ford stock is up fractionally in Friday afternoon's trading. 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. So how does a smaller battery win Ford's new EV line any friends? As it turns out, the smaller battery will produce a car with a similar range as those cars with bigger batteries. The battery in question will offer 51 kilowatt-hours of power, which is only about half the size of the batteries currently found in the F-150 Lightning. But if Ford can make an EV that gets the necessary 250-300 mile per charge range that most electric vehicles consider 'table stakes' these days, Ford might be able to make lighter-weight vehicles that are also less expensive, a combination that is only too important in a time when everyone is still feeling the inflationary pinch that started a few years ago and has yet to relent. 'Liquid Carbon' Mustang Of course, Ford is not all about electric vehicles; EVs represent a small portion of Ford's total sales, as gas engines still rule the day. And new reports about the Ford Mustang GTD 'Liquid Carbon' are already delivering some impressive visuals of the kind that might make Porsche (POAHY) quake in fear. Indeed, the GTD Liquid Carbon does look a lot like a 911 GT3 RS. Moreover, it is also a car that has bypassed the paint process and instead stuck with bonded carbon fiber all around. It is not all about looks, though, as reports note the GTD Liquid Carbon features a 'Performance' pack as a standard edition, complete with a DRS flap on the rear win, dive planes, and a 'bigger splitter,' all of which adds up to Ford living up to its promise of ' no boring cars.' Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on two Buys, nine Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 8.85% rally in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $10.74 per share implies 6.24% downside risk.
