With pricing power under pressure, any slip in margins could force a rapid repricing of the stock.Technical indicators suggest the battleground is shifting.While bulls point to a “golden era” of AI and robotics, with Wedbush maintaining a Street-high $600 target based on the Cybercab narrative, institutional flows tell a more cautious story.The recent divergence between Tesla’s soaring stock price and its flatlining delivery growth has pushed short interest slightly higher, as hedge funds hedge against a “reality check” correction.Analysts have dampened expectations, creating immediate downside risk but identifying clear milestones for recovery.Investors should watch the upcoming delivery print and margin guidance closely, these metrics will determine whether the current downgrade cycle is a temporary blip or the start of a longer valuation reset.The post Tesla stock outlook dims as analysts trim growth expectations appeared first on Invezz</div>
