Tesla's AI Stock Potential

The article discusses the potential of Tesla as an artificial intelligence (AI) stock, focusing on the predictions of Cathie Wood, CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Ark Invest. Wood predicts a substantial rise in Tesla's stock value, reaching $2,600 per share by 2029, representing a potential upside of 1,050%.

• Ark's prediction is based on the assumption that Tesla's growth will be driven by autonomous ride-hailing (robotaxis).
• Ark's Monte Carlo analysis forecasts Tesla to generate $1.2 trillion in sales by 2029, with 63% coming from robotaxi operations.

Challenges to Tesla's Robotaxi Ambitions

However, the article highlights several challenges to the feasibility of Wood's prediction and Tesla's robotaxi ambitions.

• Tesla currently has no autonomous robotaxis operating on public roads and has faced delays in achieving full self-driving autonomy.
• Competitors like Mercedes-Benz are already offering vehicles with Level 3 autonomous self-driving technology and developing Level 4 systems.

Tesla's EV Market Challenges

Tesla's position in the electric vehicle (EV) market is also facing challenges.

• Tesla has lost its leading position in the EV space due to increasing competition.
• Price wars and price cuts have resulted in a decline in Tesla's operating margin.
• A growing global EV inventory for Tesla indicates a decline in demand.
• Tesla's reliance on regulatory tax credits and interest income from cash reserves are not sustainable.

Mobileye Global: Another AI Stock with Potential

The article also explores the potential of Mobileye Global, a company specializing in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technologies.

Chris McNally, a global automotive and mobility analyst at Evercore ISI, predicts that Mobileye's stock could reach $35 per share, representing a 216% increase from its current trading price.

• Mobileye's EyeQ chips power SuperVision, an end-to-end ADAS system utilizing 11 cameras and autonomous vehicle maps.
• The EV industry's challenges, including lack of EV infrastructure, have weakened global EV sales and affected demand for Mobileye's solutions.

Nvidia: A Look at the Former AI Leader

The article discusses the recent performance of Nvidia, a semiconductor company that has benefited significantly from the rise of AI.

• Nvidia's AI-graphics processing units (GPUs) became the preferred choice in enterprise data centers.
• Nvidia's dominance in AI-GPUs was driven by its pricing power and the CUDA software platform.
• Nvidia's pricing power is expected to decline due to increased competition from companies like Advanced Micro Devices.
• Nvidia's four-largest customers are developing their own AI-GPUs, potentially reducing their dependence on Nvidia.

Investment Considerations for AI Stocks

The article highlights the importance of carefully considering investment decisions in the AI space.

• Nvidia's best days may be behind it as its pricing power and market share face challenges.
• Tesla's potential for growth depends heavily on the successful deployment of robotaxis, which faces significant hurdles.
• Mobileye's future success depends on the maturation of ADAS technology and overcoming challenges in the EV market.
