(TSLA)Performance Overview1D Change:  -2.15%5D Change:  -2.51%News Volume:  163Unusual Volume Factor:  2xTesla Stock Slides 2.3% as JPMorgan Warns of 60% Downside Despite South Korea Sales Surge and Regulatory ClearanceTesla shares fell 2.3% on Monday as Wall Street analysts delivered sharply divergent assessments following the company's disappointing first-quarter performance. JPMorgan maintained its bearish stance with an "Underweight" rating and $145 price target, warning of potential 60% downside from current levels. Analyst Ryan Brinkman cited "collapsed" financial expectations across all metrics and rising inventory levels as key concerns, with the firm expressing a "high degree of caution" about the stock's valuation. The company delivered approximately 358,000 vehicles in Q1 2026, missing analyst estimates and marking what some described as a weak start to the year. Energy storage deployment also came in below expectations. One analyst projected full-year deliveries of 1.6 million vehicles, well short of Tesla's historical peak performance. However, not all analysts shared JPMorgan's pessimism. Canaccord Genuity reiterated its "Buy" rating with a $420 price target, citing improving EV demand driven by higher gas prices and rising used Tesla values. Morgan Stanley maintained its "Overweight" rating with a $310 target, while Cantor Fitzgerald kept its "Overweight" stance. Baird cut its price target following the energy deployment miss. In positive developments, Tesla's South Korean sales surged more than 300% year-over-year to 11,134 vehicles in March, crossing 11,000 units for the first time in that market. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) closed its investigation into Tesla's "Actually Smart Summon" remote-driving feature affecting 2.5 million vehicles, citing low risk after the company implemented software fixes.
