Tesla (TSLA) has struggled in recent months, with the stock down 11% this year amid growing concerns about the company’s ability to compete in an increasingly crowded electric vehicle (EV) market. In response, many analysts have lowered their price targets, reflecting a more cautious view of near-term prospects.
