RBC Capital Upgrades Tesla to "Overweight"

Tesla (TSLA) ended the day down 1.35%, closing at $321.20, a decline of $4.39. This move came despite a bullish upgrade from RBC Capital, which raised its price target from $319 to $325 and reiterated an Overweight rating.

🔍 Key Points:

  • RBC Capital Upgrade:
    Analysts at RBC cited Tesla’s non-automotive potential as a key driver, especially:

    • Full Self-Driving (FSD) development

    • Optimus humanoid robot project

  • Market Reaction:
    Despite the upgrade, Tesla shares pulled back, likely due to:

    • Profit-taking after recent gains

    Tesla has climbed nearly 30% over the past three months, driven by growing optimism around its AI and robotics initiatives.
