CFRA Raises Tesla Price Target To $650, Sees Momentum Continuing

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock has been on a dramatic rise since the announcement that the company will be included in the S&P 500. The increase in share price is due to anticipation that funds will need to buy a large amount of shares come Dec. 21.
