As if a 350% gain in 2013 weren't enough, Tesla (TSLA 1.56%) shares are now hitting all-time highs. What should investors make of the stock at $200?
Tesla had its fair share of obvious catalysts in 2013. Here are just a few:
- The Model S earned an exhaustive list of accolades.
- Tesla improved production from levels of hundreds per year in the middle of 2012 to thousands per quarter in 2013.
- Tesla announced a rapid expansion of its Supercharger network.
- The company began deliveries in Europe.
- Tesla brought its Superchargers to Europe and began a rapid expansion of the network overseas.
- Tesla sold every car it produced on an advertising budget of zero.
These catalysts drove the stock's market capitalization to $25 billion, pricing Tesla as a major player in the automotive market. Given the company's wild valuation going into 2014, along with the fact that its 2013 performance is a tough act to follow, is there any oomph left to drive this stock any higher?
