Tesla has become the first stock in the elite Magnificent 7 group (which includes tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia) to climb back above its 200-day moving average in 2025. Thatās a significant technical milestone ā but beneath the surface, thereās little to celebrate.
A Rebound That Defies Fundamentals?
Teslaās shares have plunged nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, and the recent recovery seems to be fueled more by hope and hype than solid performance.
Analysts at Redburn Atlantic are warning investors to sell the stock, citing a challenging year ahead ā with falling revenues, weaker cash flow, and tariff risks likely to weigh the company down.
Facing Pressure from All Sides
š¹ Pricing pressure from cheaper EV competitors
š¹ Tariffs between the U.S.āMexico and ChinaāEU disrupting exports
š¹ Potential loss of U.S. federal EV tax credits, which could crush already shaky demand
š¹ Lack of meaningful innovation ā no major new product since 2019
Redburn predicts that Teslaās earnings and free cash flow could drop 10% below Wall Street estimates. Their price target? $160 per share, representing a potential 44% drop from the recent close of $285.88.
Most of Teslaās Value Is Built on Hype
Tesla is currently valued at around $900 billion, but according to experts, only about $100 to $180 billion of that reflects the actual auto business.
The rest?
Itās based on dreams and promises made by Elon Musk ā like robotaxis, humanoid robots, and full self-driving software. None of these have turned into real businesses or profits yet.
Even Teslaās much-hyped Full Self-Driving system remains in endless beta testing with no clear release date. Meanwhile, Teslaās board appears too weak or loyal to question Muskās timelines or demand accountability.
Tesla Is Wildly Overvalued ā and Investors Are Ignoring the Math
From a valuation standpoint, Tesla looks severely overpriced. With a P/E ratio of 164 and a P/S ratio of 9.5, investors are essentially paying $10 for every $1 of revenue ā and the company shows no clear growth trajectory.
As former Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy once said:
āIf Iām paying 10 times sales, you better be giving me 100% of your revenue as dividends for 10 straight years.ā
That math hasnāt changed ā but investors seem to ignore it.
Aging Lineup, Overpriced Cybertruck, and Vaporware Robots
š¹ Model 3 and Model Y are both over five years old and starting to feel outdated
š¹ Cybertruck is expensive, overhyped, and production is struggling
š¹ No concrete details about the upcoming affordable model ā no name, no specs, no timeline
š¹ Elonās robots? Still just a concept
Customers still worry about range anxiety, charging access, and unmet promises. Meanwhile, traditional automakers are catching up fast with more reliable EVs.
Bottom Line: Tesla Survives on Image, Not Output
Technically, the stock is rebounding ā but fundamentally, the company is weakening. Right now, investors are buying Elon Muskās brand, not Teslaās performance.
And while the vision remains ambitious, the marketās patience is wearing thin. Without real progress soon, the Tesla dream may no longer be enough.
