We recently published a list of Top 10 Buzzing AI Stocks to Watch Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stands against other top buzzing AI stocks to watch now.
Doug Clinton, Deepwater Asset Management co-founder, said in a latest program on CNBC that the AI trade is still intact but the market is going through a period of “doubt” and many major AI stocks have lost their momentum.
“The vibe has shifted, and I think investors, more broadly, almost want to believe the AI trade is over. They’re looking for evidence, reasons to doubt. That’s the hard part for this trade right now—momentum has lost its momentum. From our perspective, the AI trade is still real. I don’t think this boom is over; I still see two to four years ahead. But in every technology-driven boom, we go through periods of doubt. That’s a healthy part of the cycle, and we just need to work through it.”
When asked about high valuations, the analyst said many of the AI stocks have “reasonable” valuations and upside.
“If you look at the hyperscalers, I think their valuations are still largely reasonable, even though they make up a big share of the market, which concerns some investors. We’re talking about mid-20s PEs for them. Some of the more growth-driven momentum names still have upside. Their multiples look expensive now, but as they continue to grow—and that’s the key question—those multiples will actually appear higher now than they will in the future.”

George Gianarikas, Canaccord Genuity analyst, said in a latest program on CNBC that trends for Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in China have not been great. However, he’s still keeping his buy rating on the stock as he waits for more clarity on the performance and impact of the company’s new models.
“The trends in the US and Europe last year weren’t great; they were saved by a remarkably strong year in China. So far this year, just the little data points that we have suggest that the trends aren’t great in 2025, but the stock is really hinging upon the new vehicles they’re introducing, first the new Model Y, which looks like a remarkably nice vehicle, and the promise of additional vehicles throughout the rest of the year. Obviously, they’re going to start ramping Optimus production, so we’ll have to wait and see. We kept our buy rating because usually, in technology or in vehicles, when you have new products coming out and the company’s done a really good job of introducing new products that people like, those tend to really move the P&L and reinvigorate growth. So that’s what we’re hoping for, and we’ll see. We’ll find out how compelling the new vehicles are. So far, so good with the new Model Y.”
