UBS raises Tesla Inc target price to $247 from $215

UBS Group has updated its target price for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) to $247, a significant increase from its previous target of $215. The new price target reflects a potential upside of 36.5% from the stock's previous close, according to a research note issued on September 12, 2025. This move comes after a series of mixed analyst ratings and earnings reports from the electric vehicle manufacturer.

UBS's revised target price is a notable shift from the consensus rating of "Hold" and a consensus price target of $334.94 among analysts, as reported by MarketBeat.com. The new target price suggests a more optimistic outlook on Tesla's future performance, possibly driven by recent developments in the company's operations or market conditions.

The update follows a series of earnings reports and analyst ratings. In July 2025, Tesla reported a quarterly revenue decrease of 11.8% compared to the previous year, along with a miss on EPS estimates. Despite this, other analysts have maintained or increased their price targets on Tesla's stock. For instance, Needham & Company LLC reaffirmed a "hold" rating, while HSBC increased its price target to $127.00. Wedbush also gave the stock an "outperform" rating with a target of $600.00.

Insider activity has also been a point of interest. CFO Vaibhav Taneja sold 4,000 shares in July 2025, and Director James R. Murdoch sold 120,000 shares in August 2025. Institutional investors have also been active, with Central Pacific Bank Trust Division and GAMMA Investing LLC increasing their stakes in the company.

The market capitalization of Tesla stands at $1.45 trillion, with a P/E ratio of 252.10 and a beta of 2.08. The stock has a 50-day moving average of $359.13 and a 200-day moving average of $318.62. Despite the recent earnings miss, Tesla's strong brand and technological advancements in electric vehicles and energy storage systems continue to attract investor interest.

UBS's updated target price for Tesla Inc reflects a more optimistic view on the company's prospects. However, investors should remain vigilant and consider the broader market conditions and other relevant factors when making investment decisions.
