Kathy Wood is standing by her radical call for Tesla
ArcInvest’s Cathy Wood reiterated her big bullish call on her EV darling Tesla, which has seen it hit $2,000 in five years thanks to the robotaxi boom.
“One-third of our estimate is related to electric vehicles,” Wood said on CNBC’s “Fast Money” Monday. “Two-thirds of our assessment is autonomous [driving] and autonomous taxi platforms.”
Woods’ bear case on Tesla is a $1,400 target by 2027 and his bull case is $2,500. Tesla is the largest holding in its flagship Ark Innovation ETF ( ARKK ) fund with an 11.5% weighting. Shares of Tesla have more than doubled this year after losing 65% in 2022.
