Why Tesla Stock Is Considered Highly Undervalued in AI
One experienced analyst calls Tesla the "most undervalued AI name." While Tesla's shares (TSLA) have surged to record highs this year, even greater growth could come in 2026. This growth isn’t primarily about manufacturing cars but is tied to the vast potential of artificial intelligence (AI).
Tesla's Unique Position Beyond Electric Vehicles
Although Tesla is usually seen as an electric vehicle (EV) company, its valuation reveals something unusual. Tesla's shares trade at nearly 17 times sales, far higher than EV competitors like Rivian Automotive and Lucid Group, which trade between 3 and 7 times sales.
Reasons Behind Tesla's Valuation Premium
- Proven Track Record: Tesla has established itself as a reliable EV manufacturer with global brand recognition.
- Financial Strength: With a market cap of $1.4 trillion, Tesla has unmatched access to capital, setting it apart in an industry where about 30 EV start-ups have failed in the past decade.
- High Barriers to Entry: Bringing a new vehicle from design to production can take 10 to 20 years and billions of dollars, especially without existing manufacturing infrastructure.
"It can take 10 to 20 years to bring a new vehicle from design to production, especially if the start-up in question has no existing manufacturing infrastructure."
Starting an EV company with even one model requires enormous time and capital, making Tesla's position in the market highly valuable.
Author's Summary
Tesla's extraordinary valuation reflects not just its dominance in electric vehicles, but the massive future potential in artificial intelligence-driven growth.
