The post Tesla stock hit with Wall Street downgrade; What’s next for TSLA? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is facing renewed pressure after Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas lowered his rating on the stock, shifting it from ‘Overweight’ to ‘Equal-weight’.  Despite trimming his stance, Jonas raised his price target from $410 to $425, reflecting updated valuation models and long-term optionality tied to emerging business lines. The shift comes as Tesla trades at $455, with pre-market action pushing the stock down 1.74% to $447.86.  TSLA one-week stock price chart.
