UBS Hikes Tesla Target to $235, but Warns Robotaxi Hype Doesn't Justify Valuation
UBS raised its price target on Tesla (TSLA) from $190 to $235 after the company launched its first robotaxi pilot in Austin, Texas. The bank maintained its Sell rating, saying the stock's current valuation already reflects high investor expectations for autonomy and future technologies. UBS views the robotaxi market as a significant long-term opportunity if Tesla can deliver on its technology, secure regulatory approvals, and scale production. Confident Investing Starts Here: A Cautious Approach Despite a Huge Market UBS estimates a potential fleet of 2.3 million robotaxis by 2040, generating about $200 billion in annual revenue. It values the robotaxi business alone at $99 per share. That number is now baked into its new model for Tesla. Still, the bank is cautious. It believes the stock remains fully valued even after factoring in the upside from robotaxis and humanoid robots. Elon Musk has described autonomy and robotics as key drivers of Tesla's future. UBS agrees, but highlights significant execution risks. It also notes that Tesla's valuation already prices in much of this growth. At a $1.14 trillion market cap and a P/E ratio of 181, the stock leaves little room for error. While investor sentiment has turned bullish on Tesla's AI and autonomous bets, UBS is taking a more reserved view. They are examining the fundamentals, regulatory hurdles, and the time required to realize the potential of these ventures fully. In short, UBS sees long-term promise but is not convinced it justifies the current stock price. The firm is urging investors to remain grounded, even as Tesla makes headlines with key moves in autonomy. Is Tesla Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? On the Street, Tesla boasts a Hold position, based on 35 analysts' ratings. The average TSLA stock price target is $287, implying a 17.69% downside. See more TSLA analyst ratings

Do Greater Rewards Await Enterprise Products' Unit Holders?
Enterprise Products Partners EPD, through its unit buyback program, continues to return capital to unitholders. The partnership's total buyback through the 12 months ending March 2025 has reached $239 million, resulting in a cumulative repurchase of approximately $1.2 billion under its buyback program. This underscores the partnership's strong confidence in creating long-term value from its business, thereby enhancing returns for unitholders. With the market undervaluing Enterprise Products' units, allocating capital for buying back its own units is a smart move for the partnership. Thus, the remaining units are getting a bigger share of the partnership's earnings and cash flow, which is highly favorable for existing investors. EPD anticipates generating additional free cash flow starting next year. This is primarily due to the completion of some key capital projects currently under construction, which, in turn, will lower the annual growth in capital expenditures. With more capital becoming available, Enterprise Products will likely allocate a greater amount of money for repurchases, thereby accelerating capital returns. Are KMI & WMB Also Rewarding Investors Handsomely? Kinder Morgan KMI and Williams WMB are also leading midstream energy players, thereby are less vulnerable to oil and gas price volatility. Despite their stable business models, both KMI and WMB currently reward investors with lower dividend yields than the industry's composite stocks. Kinder Morgan's current dividend yield is 4.13%, lower than the industry's 5.20% yield. Williams' current dividend yield is 3.3%. EPD's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Units of EPD have gained 14.1% over the past year, surpassing the 13.2% improvement of the composite stocks belonging to the industry. One-Year Price Chart From a valuation standpoint, EPD trades at a trailing 12-month enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) of 10.00x. This is below the broader industry average of 11.39x.
