What happened
Reached its target in 62 days.
The thesis — published July 18, 2025
Tesla has caught the eye of many big investors, and trading activity is stronger than usual before its 23 July earnings report. A steep 160% U.S. import tax on Chinese graphite helps Tesla because it already sources more battery materials at home. If the company shows profit margins holding steady or more progress on self-driving software, the share price could jump after sitting still for three months, possibly rising about 30% in the next 90 days even though some basics still look weak.
Primary drivers
- Earnings on 23 Jul could show better profits and self-driving gains, lifting shares
- A 160% tax on Chinese graphite boosts Tesla's U.S. battery cost advantage
- Large-scale buying by big investors hints that demand may keep pushing price up
- Hype around AI day and a future robotaxi keeps excitement and new buyers coming
