13 Most Undervalued EV Stocks To Buy According To Analysts

In this piece, we will take a look at the 13 most undervalued EV stocks to buy according to analysts. If you want to skip our overview of the global electric vehicle industry and the latest trends, then you can take a look at the 5 Most Undervalued EV Stocks To Buy According To Analysts.

While some high growth sectors such as high performance computing, cloud networks, and data centers have seen robust performance in 2024 particularly when artificial intelligence is thrown into the mix, others like clean energy have struggled in the changed global monetary environment.

The aftermath of the pandemic era government spending and the Russian invasion of Ukraine’s effects on monetary policy has made it difficult for firms to find capital to fund their expensive manufacturing plants and for consumers to squeeze in pricey electric vehicle purchases in their budgets.

Coupled with instability in the raw material markets, particularly the one for lithium that has nearly stripped all incentives from mining companies to produce the battery metal, electric vehicle stocks are having a bumpy road on the market. As an example, consider three pure play EV stocks, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID), and NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO). Their share price performance year to date is affected by factors related to the U.S. electric vehicle market, the firms’ business environment, and those present in China. The lackluster Chinese economic conditions are also responsible for the slowdown in lithium prices as a slowdown in EV demand in the country has meant that producers whose output is designed to match heavy demand sit with excess lithium on their hands, in a situation that’s also called a glut.

For instance, the worst performing EV stock among these three is the Chinese firm NIO, whose shares are down by 30% year to date. This drop has been fueled by weakening analyst sentiment, with notable downgrades from JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC). Both have downgraded NIO’s shares, and BofA led the bank in January when it slashed NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO)’s shares to Neutral from Buy. Like JPMorgan’s later downgrade to Underperform from Neutral, Bank of America analysts shared that a lack of new models will hinder the firm’s ability to effectively compete in the cut throat Chinese electric vehicle industry. They also added that since NIO has yet to introduce new models, it might have to increase its marketing spending in the coming months and years. While spending on marketing is good, the BofA analysts believe that if NIO is also forced to cut its prices, then the lower revenue could constrain its margins.

Shifting focus on Tesla, its shares fell in 2022 and then recovered some of the losses last year. In 2024, the firm’s shares tanked by 12% after its revenue of $25.17 billion and EPS of 71 cents ended up missing analyst estimates. This led short sellers to make billions of dollars according to some estimates, and the outlook was gloomy as the world’s biggest pure play electric vehicle company warned that sales growth in 2024 could be slower.

Tesla was not the only electric vehicle stock that left investors thirsting for more in the wake of its fourth quarter earnings. Another such stock was Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN). The stock is down a whopping 47% year to date, after management shared during earnings that “challenging macro-economic conditions” would lead it to make 51,000 vehicles this year – a hefty drop from what analysts were expecting. However, Rivian investors were nevertheless comforted by the fact that the demand for its vehicles is solid, as evidenced by a revenue beat.

Looking at how these trends have affected EV stocks as a whole, the performance of the S&P Kensho Electric Vehicles Index provides us with a benchmark. Unsurprisingly, the index is down by 13% over the past twelve months. Over the past three years, the index is down by 23%, highlighting that while stocks such as Tesla have nevertheless posted some returns during the period, the broader EV sector has struggled in the era of high rates and high inflation. Narrowing down our EV stock index performance band to six, three, and one month, quarter to date, the index is down 6.9%, while over the month it is flat. The six month performance is -6%.

So, the next question to ask is, amidst this bloodbath, what is smart money thinking? Well, these concerns were also present on Baron Funds’ mind, with its latest investor letter mentioning Tesla and outlining:

Tesla’s stock declined slightly in the period because the core automotive segment remained under pressure. A complex macroeconomic environment, higher interest rates, a two-week factory shutdown, and Tesla’s car price reductions throughout the year pressured its near-term growth and margin profile. Nonetheless, Tesla continues to generate sufficient gross profit to support robust product development. Tesla also started to deliver its highly anticipated Cybertruck, its first pickup truck. There has been tremendous consumer interest in the truck and new technologies within the vehicle and its manufacturing lines. Tesla’s refreshed Model 3 also seems to be generating strong demand while improving unit-level economics. We anticipate a new lower priced vehicle being introduced next year to address a much larger market segment. Finally, investors expect Tesla to benefit from its investment in AI through development of autonomous driving technology Dojo (an AI training computer), Autobidder (an automated energy trading platform), and Humanoid (a human-like robot)

Finally, before we look at the most undervalued EV stocks according to analysts, 2024 appears to be the end of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s foray into the electric vehicle industry. Multiple reports in the press suggest that its ‘Apple Car’ project has been shelved, which is unsurprising considering the significant manufacturing investments needed to successfully mass produce a car.

So, which EV stocks are the most undervalued according to analysts? We took a look and a couple of notable names are Fisker Inc. (NYSE:FSR), Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ:GOEV), and Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ:SOLO).

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.
