<\/div>\n

Shares of Tesla extended their recovery on Wednesday<\/a>, rising about 4% in early trading to $378.89.<\/p>\n

The move was supported by broader market optimism and company-specific developments around its artificial intelligence initiatives.<\/p>\n

The gains came as the S&P 500 advanced 0.2%, moving closer to a new all-time intraday high amid investor expectations that the Iran conflict could be nearing an end. <\/p>\n

The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 138 points, or 0.3%.<\/p>\n

AI5 chip milestone marks strategic shift<\/h2>\n

Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said the company\u2019s AI chip design team has completed work on its AI5 self-driving chip.<\/p>\n

He described the development as a key milestone as the project moves into manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Musk thanked Samsung Electronics and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company for their role in bringing the chip toward production, adding that AI5 could become \u201cone of the most produced AI chips ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

He has previously indicated that AI5 chips are expected to enter high-volume production in 2027, eventually replacing the current AI4 chips used in Tesla vehicles. <\/p>\n

More recently, Musk said Tesla could \u201ctape out\u201d its next-generation AI6 chip as early as December.<\/p>\n

Wall Street analysts on Tesla stock<\/h2>\n

Barclays reiterated an Equalweight rating on Tesla with a $360 price target, as the company increasingly pivots from traditional automotive operations toward artificial intelligence and robotics.<\/p>\n

Analyst Dan Levy said Tesla\u2019s fourth-quarter results marked the end of Model S and Model X production, signalling a transition toward what the company describes as \u201cPhysical AI.\u201d <\/p>\n

He noted that Tesla\u2019s growth strategy is now centred on autonomy, including Robotaxi and Full Self-Driving technology, as well as humanoid robotics.<\/p>\n

The company has also outlined ambitious infrastructure plans, including a proposed \u201cTerafab\u201d facility with 1 terawatt of capacity\u2014estimated to be 50 times larger than current global AI computing capacity\u2014and a goal to build 100 gigawatts of solar capacity.<\/p>\n

Barclays estimates the Terafab project could cost in the mid-single-digit trillions of dollars if fully developed, and expects Tesla\u2019s capital expenditure to exceed the more than $20 billion outlined in its most recent earnings call.<\/p>\n

Despite the strategic pivot, Tesla shares remain under pressure, down 19% year-to-date compared with a 2% gain in the S&P 500. <\/p>\n

According to Barclays, the decline reflects limited disclosed progress on key initiatives such as Robotaxi, Full Self-Driving, and the Optimus humanoid robot program.<\/p>\n

In a separate note released earlier in the week, UBS analyst Joseph Spak upgraded Tesla to Hold from Sell while maintaining a $352 price target.<\/p>\n

Spak said current share levels \u201cmore evenly balance\u201d near-term risks, including softer electric vehicle demand<\/a> and increased spending on AI-driven initiatives such as robo-taxis and humanoid robots.<\/p>\n

The analyst cautioned that \u201cthe stock may continue to exhibit high volatility,\u201d noting that Tesla\u2019s trading behaviour is often driven more by sentiment and momentum than by underlying fundamentals.<\/p>\n

UBS expects Tesla\u2019s vehicle deliveries to reach about 1.6 million units in 2026, broadly flat on a year-on-year basis, before growing at a 7% compound annual rate to around 2 million units by 2030\u2014below broader market expectations of 3 million.<\/p>\n
