J.P. Morgan upgraded Tesla to neutral from underweight and raised its price target to $475 from $145, citing growth in autonomous driving, robotics, AI processors and software services.

J.P. Morgan revised its Tesla rating to neutral from underweight and sharply increased the price target from $145 to $475. The move reflects greater confidence in Tesla’s long-term ambitions beyond near-term electric vehicle sales.
Analysts pointed to emerging revenue opportunities in autonomous robotaxi networks, humanoid robotics, AI processors and software-based services as key drivers of Tesla’s future valuation. They believe these platforms could reshape the company’s earnings profile over the coming decade.
Elon Musk’s broader tech ecosystem benefits the outlook, with a planned SpaceX listing aiming for a valuation near $1.7 trillion on June 12. The potential mega-IPO reinforces investor confidence in ventures tied to his long-term innovation strategy.
J.P. Morgan analysts emphasized Tesla’s competitive edge from controlling both hardware and software development internally. They argue this deep integration is underappreciated and positions Tesla advantageously for autonomous driving and robotics applications.
