Tesla Stock That Helped Musk to Become Fourth-Richest Person in the World
At the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has seriously undermined the activity of most companies. In March, their stocks lowered to touch the bottom levels. Tesla stock suffered as well. However, it managed to recover and now it seems like even in the face of the global crisis, it is arguably one of Wall Street’s most expensive and impressive brands this year.
In July, TSLA stock hit an important milestone of a $300 billion market cap. Besides, the electric vehicle manufacturer delivered an impressive Q2 2020 earnings report, which has led the market cap and the company’s value further.
Some believe that Tesla stock is too expensive and not worth investing in. Others are raising their price targets for the stock and suggest that there is still much room for further growth. For example, yesterday, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives upped his price target for Tesla to $1,900 from $1,800. Earlier, Morgan Stanley upgraded their prediction from $1,050 to $1,360. Deutsche Bank has also raised its price target for Tesla stock to $1,500 from $1,000.
Yesterday, Tesla stock closed at $1,835.64 per share. In the pre-market today, Tesla stock is further 4.21% up, trading at $1,912.99 right now. Tesla’s market cap is $342.09 billion, the stock is as much as 338.80% up year-to-date. If the company is included in the S&P 500 Index, this growth will be even more impressive.
