Key Points
Robert W. Baird trimmed its Tesla price target to $538 (from $548) but kept an "outperform" rating, a level implying roughly a 49.2% upside from the current share price.
Shares fell about 5.4% after a Q1 delivery miss (~358k vs. ~365–372k expected) and a production‑delivery gap of ~50k (408k produced vs. 358k delivered), stoking demand and margin concerns.
Analyst coverage is mixed—MarketBeat shows a consensus "Hold" with an average price target of $402.61 (19 Buy / 13 Hold / 10 Sell)—and recent insider selling (~53,804 shares, ~$20.9M in 90 days) has added to negative sentiment. Is the Explosion of Single-Stock ETFs an Opportunity or a Danger?
