Elon Musk recently expressed confidence in Tesla's potential to surpass Nvidia in market valuation, aiming for the company to become the most valuable globally. He envisions Tesla not only topping Nvidia but potentially exceeding the combined market capitalization of the next five largest companies. This bold outlook has set off a wave of speculation about Tesla's future stock performance.
Tesla's growth strategy involves diversifying beyond its core automotive business, focusing on futuristic technologies like the Optimus humanoid robot and autonomous "cybercabs." This shift represents an effort to lessen reliance on traditional car sales, as reported by fool.com, potentially paving the way for new revenue streams that could bolster its valuation.
As of May 9, 2025, Tesla's market capitalization remains at approximately $1.3 trillion, while Nvidia's stands at about $2.28 trillion. This gap highlights the challenge ahead for Tesla as it navigates market dynamics. Meanwhile, some analysts, according to benzinga.com, suggest Tesla surpasses tech giants in innovation, implying considerable market cap upside. Tesla's shares recently traded at $297.75, showing a slight decline of 1.83% from the previous close, reflecting the stock's ongoing volatility.
