Tesla’s stock soared to $440.40 on Thursday, jumping 4.02% in a single day. The electric vehicle maker’s shares have been on an extraordinary run, with the company now valued at $1.46 trillion. Over 101 million shares changed hands during the trading session, showing strong investor interest in the company.
Tesla shares rocketed 4% Thursday as the EV giant’s valuation topped $1.46 trillion amid heavy trading volume.
The stock’s performance has been exceptional over different time periods. In just the past month, Tesla’s shares climbed between 27% and 32%, depending on the exact measurement dates. Looking at a four-week period, the gain stands at nearly 26%. These aren’t small moves for such a large company. The stock hit a September high of $444.98, coming close to that peak during Thursday’s rally.
Tesla’s annual returns tell an even more impressive story. The stock has surged about 69% over the past twelve months, far outpacing most other stocks in the market. Since the start of 2025, shares are up 9%. These gains become more striking when compared to Tesla’s all-time average closing price of just $93.25. Today’s price of $440.40 shows how far the company has come.
The massive trading volume suggests both individual and institutional investors are actively buying and selling Tesla shares. Even after regular trading hours ended, the stock continued trading at $440.01, barely moving from its closing price. This stability in after-hours trading often indicates that investors are comfortable holding their positions. Extended trading saw the price rise further to $443.60, up 0.73% from the regular session close.
Looking ahead, analysts and economic models project Tesla’s stock will trade around $439.92 by the end of the quarter. One-year forecasts put the price target at approximately $438.47. These projections suggest the stock might consolidate near current levels rather than continuing its rapid climb.
August’s trading range ran from $306.21 to $355.39, showing how quickly Tesla’s stock price can change. September’s range has been even wider, spanning from $328.23 to $444.98. This volatility reflects the ongoing debate about Tesla’s true value and its ability to challenge traditional automotive and energy markets. Tesla’s balance sheet shows total assets of $128.57 billion, providing substantial resources to fund its ambitious expansion plans.
The company’s market cap now exceeds that of many established industrial giants combined.
