“While we are valuation-/sentiment-minded when recommending stocks, we agree with the underlying notion that Tesla cannot be compared to other automaker stocks, not because it isn’t an ‘auto company’, but because it’s arguably best positioned to capture sizable opportunities that exist across auto/mobility and adjacent markets,” said the firm, as quoted by CNBC.

Two, Tesla now holds 11,509 Bitcoin, now valued at just over $1.18 billion.
Three, the company is just weeks away from its robotaxi launch in June.
In fact, according to Reuters, “Musk said Tesla will first use existing Model Y vehicles outfitted with self-driving software. The automaker is also developing a dedicated autonomous model, dubbed the Cybercab, with production starting next year. Musk said he expects autonomous driving technology will begin to ‘affect the bottom line of the company, and start to be fundamental” by the second half of 2026.’”
