Key Points
JPMorgan reiterated a "Sell" rating on Tesla and flagged a very bearish scenario (about a ~60% downside) tied to record unsold inventory and free‑cash‑flow pressure, amplifying recent selling and analyst target cuts.
Tesla's analyst mix is split — 19 Buy / 13 Hold / 10 Sell for an overall average rating of "Hold" and an average target of $400.44 — while the stock trades around $352.82 with a market cap near $1.32 trillion and a P/E of 326.69.
