Key Points Deutsche Bank reaffirmed a Buy on Tesla, but analyst coverage is split — 19 Buys, 16 Holds and 6 Sells — leaving a MarketBeat consensus of Hold with an average price target of $398.42. Tesla beat Q1 EPS estimates ($0.41 vs. $0.39) and reported revenue of $22.39 billion (up 15.8% year‑over‑year) despite missing revenue estimates, with analysts forecasting about $1.35 in EPS for the year. Near‑term sentiment is mixed due to significant insider selling (53,804 shares, ~$20.9M, in the last 90 days), a planned ~$25 billion 2026 capex increase that could weigh on free cash flow, and a large block of Elon Musk’s award shares becoming tradable.
