March 25 - Cathie Wood's Ark Invest remains confident in Tesla (TSLA, Financial), projecting the electric vehicle maker to surge to $2,600 per share within five years. Wood highlighted robo-taxis as Tesla's key growth driver while noting that the current stock price does not even factor in the company's plans for humanoid robots.
Tesla has faced a steep valuation decline over the past four months, but Ark Invest's forecast suggests a nearly tenfold increase from current levels. The firm has maintained this bullish outlook in previous predictions.
Tesla remains the largest holding in Ark Innovation (ARKK, Financial), with approximately $646 million invested. The EV giant also holds the top spot across Ark's other ETFs, reinforcing Wood's confidence despite Tesla's struggles in 2025.
Tesla's stock has dropped nearly 27% this year, at one point losing up to 50% of its value since November. The decline stems from weaker sales, heightened competition in China, and public backlash over CEO Elon Musk's involvement with Donald Trump's administration.
Musk recently urged Tesla employees to hold onto their shares, signaling confidence amid the company's rough patch.
