Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) ranks among the best sustainability stocks to invest in. On February 11, Benchmark maintained its Buy rating and $475 price target for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) as the EV giant prepares for a strategy adjustment in early 2026. Benchmark highlighted Tesla’s fourth-quarter results, which showed durability in margins, energy growth, and cash flow amid the company’s transformational period.
The firm described 2026 as an “investment year” for Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), with increased spending planned in a variety of areas, including autonomy, AI, robots, and energy infrastructure.
Although sentiment and technical factors may drive short-term upside, Benchmark’s valuation methodology for Tesla remained unchanged, suggesting that the company’s long-term value creation is tied to its development as a “physical AI, software, and fleet-based platform rather than a traditional auto OEM.”
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells EVs, and energy generation and storage systems in the US, China, and internationally through two segments: Automotive and Energy Generation & Storage.
