After gaining momentum and soaring nearly 30% between early April and press time on May 14, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) appears poised to fully erase previous losses and fully catch up with the performance of the wider S&P500.
Still, despite the latest momentum, Tesla is effectively flat year-to-date (YTD), but its momentum might be in jeopardy given the various structural issues plaguing the electric vehicle (EV) maker in recent years.
Indeed, in addition to the previous shareholder dissatisfaction with Elon Musk giving outsized attention to X, the billionaire might now be even more distracted with the plans for the initial public offering (IPO) of SpaceX and the ongoing lawsuit targeting OpenAI.
Meanwhile, Tesla itself has been suffering from a decline in sales, dramatically shown in the first-quarter (Q1) figures from California, and might see its ambitious promises regarding unsupervised autonomous driving and the ‘Cybercab’ turn into yet another disregarded milestone.
As part of its attempt to determine if TSLA shares will retain their momentum or reverse by May 31, Finbold consulted its own machine learning algorithm about where the EV maker might trade in seventeen days.

After conducting technical analysis (TA) with indicators such as the relative strength index (RSI), moving averages (MA), and oscillators, the Finbold AI Agent determined that Tesla stock is most likely to rally 4.95% from $449.03 on May 14 to $471.26 on May 31.
Out of the four top artificial intelligence (AI) models included in the predictive software, DeepSeek was the most cautious – though not outright bearish – as it forecasted a 1.04% rise to $455.
On the other end of the spectrum, ChatGPT-5.2 was the most optimistic with a $482.30 price target for a total 7.1% rally by May 31, 2026.
Meanwhile, both Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Gemini 3 Flash took the middle road. Specifically, the former settled for a 4.93% climb to $472.50, and the latter estimated the most likely outcome in the May stock market is Tesla shares trading at $475.25: 5.54% above their press time price of $449.03.
