Tesla downgraded from Buy to Hold with price target cut to $360 amid valuation concerns.

Tesla's rating was downgraded from Buy to Hold, and its price target lowered from $577 to $360 due to concerns over its high valuation despite operational progress. The company showed positive free cash flow and margin improvements in Q3 2026, along with advances in autonomous driving and energy storage. However, earnings growth has not kept pace with the stock's premium valuation, trading at 215 times forward non-GAAP earnings. Additionally, the potential merger with SPCX adds strategic uncertainty, limiting near-term upside despite a stabilizing core business.

Tesla shares are trading at USD 380.06 on Pluang as of Oct 22, 2026 23:41 WIB, down 1.66% in the last day. The stock's market cap stands at $1.53 trillion, reflecting its large scale despite recent rating downgrades. Pluang data shows a typical holding period of 88 days, with more sellers (76%) than buyers (24%) currently active.
