Tesla stock, much like the company’s controversial CEO Elon Musk, has been anything but predictable in 2025. It seemed like every time the richest man in the world made a political (or not-so-politically correct) move, so too would the stock move, for better or worse. At the halfway point of 2025, many analysts remain hesitant to project just how high or low TSLA will go.

However, it would seem that shares of Tesla are trading at a significant premium to their historical valuation, and the company has also reported a sharp decline in electric vehicle deliveries, largely due to increased competition in the sector. So, just what are experts predicting Tesla’s stock performance will look like by the end of the year? Let’s explore.
What Are Analysts Saying?
Whether or not Tesla stock is a buy is a point of disagreement for many economists and investors alike. Factors such as Tesla’s plummeting EV sales, the uncertainty around its Robotaxi service and the recent insider transactions are putting a hitch in many investors’ plans when it comes to hitching their wagon to this stock for the foreseeable future.
If you are still on the fence about whether or not you should invest in Tesla, here are a few key takeaways from what analysts have to say:
- According to some Wall Street analysts’ estimates, the median one-year price target for shares of TSLA is around $300, which implies some downside from its current price.
- From these same 35 analysts, the stock currently receives a consensus “Hold” rating, with 13 analysts rating it a “Buy,” 13 rating it a “Hold” and nine rating it a “Sell.”
- Other analysts, such as those from 24/7 Wall St., predict a 12-month price target for Tesla to be bullish at $352.99, which represents potential upside of 6% from the current share price.
- Those figures are based on the company seeing projected revenue growth climb from $112.091 billion in 2025 to $297.430 billion in 2030, alongside normalized EPS growth of $2.85 in 2025 to $11.61 in 2030.
To put that into perspective, here are some stats for Tesla stock as of July 23, 2025:
- Stock price: $332.62
- Market cap: $1.05 trillion
- 52-week high: $488.54
- 52-week low: $182.00

Will It Go Up or Down by the End of This Year?
Rollercoaster enthusiasts may like Tesla stock’s performance in 2025, but many analysts remain skeptical as to how it will finish out the year. Some optimists expect Tesla shares to end the year in a range of $350 to $375, though many others wouldn’t be surprised to see the price fall lower. As it was priced around $320 a share at 2025’s halfway point, you can see where it could go either way.
Now that Musk has left his Trump administration duties to refocus on his other projects, such as running Tesla, it will be interesting to see if he can steer it more successfully than he cut government spending with DOGE. It has been difficult for the news to continue to match the current valuations and any negative information coming out of political turns throughout the first half of the year, so there may be a little wiggle room for a rally.
Tesla’s leadership in EVs, as well as energy and technology innovations, could offset potential headwinds, such as high interest rates, tariffs and rising competition from Ford, General Motors and Rivian. Simply put, it remains the face of the electric vehicle movement, and governments around the world are backing green energy even if America is backing away.
Tesla’s energy storage solutions and solar panel business are just getting started, as well as its AI-driven push toward full autonomy. In fact, in June 2025, it launched its first supervised Robotaxi service in Austin. Future plans include the release of FSD Hardware 5 in 2026, with Musk promising a tenfold performance boost. Whether or not this will help or hurt the stock down the line remains to be seen, however.
Final Take To GO: Is Tesla Stock a Buy in 2025?
Tesla’s long-term prospects in electric vehicles, energy generation and storage, and potentially autonomous driving technologies remain strong. However, many experts point out that its stock price is expensive relative to its earnings and the broader market.
For example, many other analysts have thought the execution risks and capital-intensive bets in energy and robotics are red flags, while others err on the side of the potential of Tesla’s AI and Robotaxi initiatives. The market, along with analysts, seem to remain unsure if they are investing in a car company or an innovative tech giant, which is probably why any forecast is murky at best.
