Shares of Tesla cleared $200 on Thursday as the stock continues to obliterate losses from the past year.
In 2023, shareholders for the automotive, artificial intelligence, and clean energy company watched the stock price nearly double after hitting a 52-week low of $101.81, on Jan. 6.
In an interview with FOX Business, Edward Moya, a senior market analyst for OANDA in New York said, "Wall Street still has its doubts about growth but is very optimistic that the worst is over for some of the more beaten-up tech stocks."
"Tesla's rally can't be stopped right now as investors remain upbeat about growth in the EV space and on the global economic outlook for Europe and China," he added.
