Tesla (TSLA) Stock

Gordon Johnson, an analyst from GLJ Research, has cautioned that Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares might face declines in 2025 due to significant challenges for the company's operations.

Tesla (TSLA 8.22%) shared strong production and delivery figures for the last quarter, but the high market expectations led to disappointment among investors.

In 2024, Tesla's stock increased by 70%, pushing the company's market value over $1 trillion. However, for most of the year, the stock was performing poorly and only started to rise after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, placed a bet on Donald Trump winning the election in November, and when he was correct, investors became more interested in Tesla. As a result, Tesla's stock prices rose significantly towards the end of the year.

In 2024, Tesla (TSLA 8.22%) had an outstanding year, with its stock price increasing by more than 62%. The company, known for its electric vehicles (EVs), saw significant growth in its shares.

Even though Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) did not meet the expected delivery target for the fourth quarter of 2024, an analyst believes the stock could rise by 35%. They argue that the company still has plenty of chances for growth.

Tesla, listed on NASDAQ as TSLA, has started 2025 with some challenges, as its stock fell more than 6% on Thursday due to lower-than-expected Q4 delivery numbers. The company delivered 495,570 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter, falling short of the 512,000 expected shipments. This also represents Tesla's first annual decline in deliveries since 2020.

Since the presidential election, very few stocks have performed as well as Tesla (TSLA 8.22%).

According to investigators, a soldier who detonated a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas left behind notes explaining that the New Year's Day explosion was meant to be a "wake-up call" about the problems facing the country.
