The Entrepreneur Index™ Is Down on Friday (and So Is Tesla's Target Price)
Will Tesla's stock price keep falling?
2019 has not been kind to Tesla's bottom line. On December 31, 2018, the electric car stock closed at $332.80 per share. On Friday, the company closed at $264.53 -- a 25.8 percent drop in just three and a half months. Things just keep getting worse, and today was no exception. Wall Street research firm Cowen lowered its price target from $200 to $180 on Friday due to data that seemed to point at the idea that Tesla's quarterly deliveries will fall below expectations.

Analyst Jeff Osborne lowered his forecast for Model 3 deliveries by 13.6 percent (from 55,000 to 47,500. and his forecast for Model S and Model X deliveries by 14.0 percent (from 21,500 to 18,000., based on data from government and third-party sources.
