Major analyst who forecast stocks' rally sends 3-word message to investors
The stock market has enjoyed major returns since the spring, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq surging over 25% and roughly 40% since April 8, when a brutal sell-off caused oversold signals to flash. The returns are impressive considering the historical average return for the benchmark index is about 10% annually. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Yet cracks may be forming in the rally, given lackluster economic data on inflation and jobs last week sent the S&P 500 tumbling about 3% from its early week highs through Friday. The big question on most investors' minds is whether it makes more sense to buy dips or sell rips (rallies) following the drop. Veteran analyst Tom Lee, Fundstrat's founder and head of research, correctly predicted the rally in April. Over the weekend, he offered up a blunt message for investors. The S&P 500 was arguably due for a break. Before last week's stumble, it had reached all-time highs, lifting its forward price-to-earnings ratio, a key valuation measure calculated by dividing price by earnings, to 22.4, according to FactSet. The last time we had a P/E ratio this high was near February's highs, shortly before the stock market fell by 19% on concerns President Trump's tariff strategy could cause stagflation, a period of no growth and rising inflation, or worse, a recession. Related: Major Wall Street analyst revamps S&P 500 target amid tumble We may not see another near bear market drop this time, but inflation has climbed over the past three months and the latest unemployment data is worrisome, particularly given August isn't known for being overly kind to investors. Since 1950, the average post-Election year return in August is negative 1.2%. Overall, August ranks just 11th out of 12 months for S&P 500 returns, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. Despite that backdrop, Tom Lee is unfazed, telling Fundstrat clients in a research note over the weekend to "buy the dip." More Wall Street Analysts: Veteran analyst drops surprise call on Tesla ahead of earningsBest Buy analyst, focused on earnings growth, reworks stock price targetVeteran trader posts a major warning for the stock market The long-time Wall Street watcher has been tracking stocks since the 1990s. Lee is best known for his bullish tilt, including accurately predicting stocks bottom in 2023 and the April low. He thinks any August selloff following inflation and jobs data will be short-lived, and that data suggests a friendlier Fed. So far, the Fed has left interest rates unchanged this year, despite cutting them by 1% into the end of 2024. "The economy is solid and soft enough that the Fed needs to make insurance cuts." said Lee, before adding later in the note that Friday was "an "obvious buy the dip moment." Inline with Lee's forecast, the S&P 500 rallied 1.5% on August 4 to 6329.94. That brought it just shy of the July 31 close of 6339.39 before the jobs report. Whether sellers emerge again this week may hinge on how comfortable investors are that the economy will bend, not break, and the Fed will play ball. The inflation data is concerning, given that the Personal Consumption Expenditures index shows it accelerated to 2.6% in June, up from 2.2% in April. The jobs data isn't overly encouraging either, given the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report showed the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, below the 100,000 expected, and previous months were revised sharply lower. Related: Jobs report shocker resets Fed interest rate cut bets "Even more worrisome is that the numbers for the previous two months noted larger-than-normal revisions. The May number decreased to 19,000 from 144,000 and the June number fell to 14,000 from 147,000," noted Fundstrat strategist Hardika Singh. With inflation and unemployment rising, increasing the possibility of stagflation, it's understandable that investors might get a bit antsy. Stocks may have dropped more last week if not for growing optimism that rising unemployment means Fed Chair Jerome Powell will cut rates at the next FOMC meeting on September 17. The latest odds from CME's closely watched FedWatch tool place probabilities of a quarter-percent cut to a range of 4% to 4.25% at about 94%, up from 64% one month ago. An interest rate cut would be good news for stocks, given lower lending rates encourages household and business spending, supporting revenue and profit growth at publicly held companies. That potential may trump any short-term economic concerns. "For now, I see further downside as being short-lived and largely contained," concluded Fundstrat's technical analyst, Mark Newton.

'The Worst Place to Drive in America': Tesla Stock (NASDAQ:TSLA) Gains on Plans to Bring Robotaxi Service to New York
There are perfectly valid reasons why an episode of The Simpsons referred to New York City as an 'urban death maze.' But electric vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) may be poised to make getting around that city a lot easier thanks to robotaxi service, which it hopes to bring therein. There are signs that this plan may not work as expected, however. Investors are eager to see an expansion, and sent Tesla shares up nearly 2% in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Tesla has had plans to expand elsewhere for quite some time, as evidenced by listings for 'vehicle operators' that have been posted throughout America's cities. Brooklyn is actually on the list as well, which would represent one of the biggest challenges that Tesla's autodrive systems will ever face. Brooklyn is well-known for a 'good-luck' approach to traffic. With delivery vans, electric bikes, and an overall traffic infrastructure that was once described as '…general chaos that wreaks havoc on even the most seasoned drivers…,' it is clear that an autodrive system would have a lot to look out for. Given that Tesla is being 'super paranoid' about safety—which makes perfect sense given some incidents—it is not a surprise it wants a human backup involved, hence the job listings. China-Made EV Sales in Freefall Meanwhile, a bit of bad news floated in from China, where electric vehicles are a market that could be described as 'oversaturated.' The Tesla models made in China suffered a significant blow to their sales. Sales were down 8.4% against the figures from July 2024. Model 3 and Model Y sales hit 67,886 units for July, reports noted, which was also down 5.2% against the figures from June 2025. A combination of growing numbers of competitors and a market that is not really expanding left Tesla on the back foot, forced to take smaller slices of a pie that is roughly the same size it has always been. With the United States poised to drop tax credits for electric vehicles with the end of September, that will deliver another blow to Tesla going forward. It also helps explain why Tesla is pivoting toward robotics and other ventures. Is Tesla a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on TSLA stock based on 14 Buys, 15 Holds, and eight Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 52.17% rally in its share price over the past year, the average TSLA price target of $310.84 per share implies 0.63% downside risk.

Is Now the Time to Buy Tesla Stock (TSLA)? TipRanks AI Analyst Says Yes
Tesla (TSLA) remains one of Wall Street's most debated stocks. While analyst opinions are mixed, TipRanks' A.I. analyst maintains an Outperform rating with a $341 price target, implying over 10% upside and well above the Wall Street consensus of $310.84.

For context, TipRanks' A.I. Stock Analysis provides automated, data-backed evaluations of stocks across key metrics, offering users a clear and concise view of a stock's potential. AI Score Spotlights Latest Earnings Tesla stock earns a solid score of 73 out of 100 on the A.I. tool. Tesla's overall rating is supported by its financial performance which emphasizes encouraging growth prospects in its autonomous driving and energy businesses. Notably, Tesla's adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.40, matching analysts' expectations. However, the bottom line fell 23% compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the tool highlights Tesla's latest earnings call summary, which carries a positive signal. Below is the screenshot for reference. These fundamentals paint a positive long-term picture. However, from a technical and valuation standpoint, there are notable concerns. Technical indicators currently signal bearish trends. Moreover, Tesla's elevated price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 180 raises the possibility that the stock may be overvalued in the near term, pointing to potential short-term pressure on the stock. Wall Street Is Also Bullish On Monday, longtime Tesla bull and Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterated his Buy rating, implying over 60% upside from the current levels. Ives stated that the Tesla board's approval of Elon Musk 's compensation package has cleared a significant overhang, potentially boosting investor confidence and removing a key source of uncertainty around the stock. Similarly, Piper Sandler's Alexander Potter also reaffirmed his Buy rating on TSLA stock. Potter advised investors not to overreact to the recent Autopilot-related jury verdict against Tesla in Florida, stating that the case is less significant than headlines suggest. Is Tesla Stock a Good Buy? According to TipRanks, TSLA stock has received a Hold consensus rating, with 14 Buys, 15 Holds, and eight Sells assigned in the last three months. The average Tesla stock price target is $310.84, suggesting a potential downside of 1.6% from the current level.
