Elon Musk to the Rescue? Here's What This Investor Expects for Tesla Stock
The market continues to cheer CEO Elon Musk's decision to devote more of his attention towards running Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), which the businessman-turned- Trump official shared on the company's Q1 2025 earnings call. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Though the numbers were not exactly stellar – EV deliveries were down, and the company missed on both top- and bottom-line expectations – investors were heartily encouraged by the shift in Musk's priorities. TSLA's share price has gained over 40% since the late April earnings report. Is this 'Musk Bump' sustainable or will the exuberance flame out? Investor Bohdan Kucheriavyi is worried that the company may not be able to fully recover from the harm caused by Musk's political activities. 'While Elon Musk has recommitted to his role recently, it's possible that some of the damage is permanent and the company's sales demand might be down 10% in the future,' explains the 5-star investor. 'Elon Musk can't save this anymore.' Kucheriavyi highlights April sales data to demonstrate that Tesla is in a world of trouble. Declining Tesla registrations in France (down 59% year-over-year), fewer sales in Germany (down 46% year-over-year), and weakening sales in the United Kingdom (down 62% year-over-year) reflect the severity of this problem. In China, Tesla sales numbers also dropped by 6% year-over-year – while rival BYD just notched its best sales week of 2025. Adding insult to injury, Kucheriavyi also notes that global EV sales increased by 30% in the month of April. 'It makes sense to assume that the recent damage to Tesla's brand has certainly made it harder for the company to attract new customers,' adds the investor. Looking domestically, Kucheriavyi does not find much reason for cheer. The investor points out that Ford's F-150 Lightning recently overtook the Cybertruck as the best-selling electric pick-up truck, while the Republican-led U.S. Congress is likely to eliminate a $7,500 EV tax incentive that Tesla consumers have benefitted from. The investor also offers a stern reminder that TSLA's valuations are on the steeper side, and are currently trading at more than 180x the company's forward earnings. This puts TSLA at risk for some severe losses up ahead. 'Considering that Tesla continues to trade at aggressive multiples at a time when its upside seems limited, it's becoming harder to be bullish about its stock with each passing day,' concludes Kucheriavyi, who rates TSLA a Sell. (To watch Bohdan Kucheriavyi's track record, click here) Wall Street is a bit torn over TSLA's prospects. With 16 Buy, 10 Hold, and 11 Sell ratings, TSLA has a consensus Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. Its 12-month average price target of $282.70 would translate into losses of ~17%.

‘Time to Strike,' Says Investor About Nvidia Stock
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has faced a challenging landscape in 2025, navigating a mix of uncertainties. Export restrictions have complicated its business in China, and broader concerns about the pace of capex investments by hyperscalers have added a layer of caution to the growth narrative that once seemed unstoppable. Protect Your Portfolio Against Market Uncertainty Discover companies with rock-solid fundamentals in TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter. Receive undervalued stocks, resilient to market uncertainty, delivered straight to your inbox. Still, not everyone is hitting the panic button. Despite a nearly 15% year-to-date slide, investor Bohdan Kucheriavyi argues that the risks are overblown – and there are blue skies aplenty for Nvidia up ahead. 'I'm still confident in the company's ability to create additional shareholder value over the following years,' asserts the 5-star investor. That's not to say that Kucheriavyi is dismissive of the very real risks of decreasing capex spending by the hyperscalers – far from it. The investor notes the recent reports that Microsoft and Amazon have been walking away from data center leases, a move that could signal cooling demand for Nvidia's chips. But in the same breath, he highlights evidence pointing in the opposite direction: AI spending among hyperscalers is still on track to hit $300 billion this year. Strong results from TSMC and even AI momentum at beleaguered Intel hint that the appetite for AI infrastructure isn't fading. Meanwhile, Nvidia is actively adapting to geopolitical headwinds. The company is shifting key production of its next-gen Blackwell chips to TSMC's Arizona facility. By localizing production, Nvidia aims to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions, such as potential tariffs and export restrictions, and to better meet the growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers. 'This should help the company be less exposed to any geopolitical and tariff-related risks, which is a major upside in the current environment,' adds Kucheriavyi. The investor also acknowledges the added difficulties the company will face in the Chinese market in the years ahead, as trade restrictions will give domestic competitors such as Huawei a pronounced leg up over the American firm. Even so, a 10% sales hit tied to China-related disruptions hasn't shaken his conviction. In his view, Nvidia remains undervalued – and the long-term upside is still very much intact. 'Nvidia's upside remains significant, even if we take into account the loss of China-related revenues this year,' concludes Kucheriavyi, who rates NVDA stock a Buy. (To watch Kucheriavyi's track record, click here) Wall Street needs no additional convincing. With 34 Buys, 5 Holds and a single Sell, NVDA enjoys a Strong Buy consensus rating. Its 12-month average price target of $164.23 implies a ~43% upside for the year ahead.
