One Reason Tesla Stock Is Seen as Undervalued
A veteran analyst considers Tesla the "most undervalued AI name." Despite Tesla (TSLA 3.16%) hitting new all-time highs in 2025, its growth potential might be even greater in 2026.
Growth Beyond Electric Vehicles
This future expansion is less about car manufacturing and more about what could become the largest growth opportunity ever: artificial intelligence (AI).
Valuation Differences in the EV Market
Although Tesla is known as an electric vehicle (EV) company, its stock trades at nearly 17 times sales, much higher than rivals like Rivian Automotive and Lucid Group, which trade between 3 and 7 times sales.
Reasons for High Valuation
- Tesla is an established EV maker with global brand recognition.
- It has unmatched access to capital, reflected in its $1.4 trillion market capitalization.
- The EV industry is risky, with at least 30 start-ups failing over the last decade.
- Developing a new vehicle typically takes 10 to 20 years, especially for start-ups lacking manufacturing facilities.
- Launching an EV business with just one model requires billions of dollars and continuous financial support.
"Tesla is a proven EV maker with worldwide name recognition and unparalleled access to capital given its $1.4 trillion market cap."
These factors distinguish Tesla from competitors, explaining the premium in its stock price despite challenges in the EV sector.
Author’s Summary
Tesla's stock valuation reflects not only its EV success but also its emerging potential in AI, backed by strong capital and brand strength.
