Jefferies Practically Doubles Its Price Target On Tesla [TSLA]

Jefferies just came pretty close to doubling its price target on Tesla, CNBC has reported. Analyst Philippe Houchois raised Tesla’s price target to what is known as a “Street high.” This number is $1,200 and it is a jump from the previous target of $650. The belief is that COVID-19, the disease that many thought was going to harm Tesla and its stock, did the opposite. It accelerated the transition to EVs and renewables.

That doesn’t even include the articles that mention that Tesla might choose to pay off debt with stock.
