Only several companies in history reached a $1 trillion market cap and Tesla is one of them. It hit a $1 trillion market cap on Monday following news that car rental company Hertz is ordering 100,000 vehicles from the carmaker. One of the major electric carmakers joined trillion-dollar market cap companies like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Information about the deal with Hertz brought Tesla’s stock to more than $1,045 a share midday. On Monday, its stock closed up 12.66% at about $1,024 a share. Currently, its price stands at $1,070.20. Bullish analyst calls and strong EU sales also helped to boost the company’s stock price. Adam Jones from Morgan Stanley raised his price target on Tesla from $900 a share to $1,200 a share two days ago.
On Monday, the company’s CEO billionaire Elon Musk celebrated the milestone on Twitter a minute before market close. He wrote Wild $T1mes!
An agreement with Hertz is an important moment in Tesla’s history. The deal with Hertz is the largest ever purchase of electric cars. It will bring in a reported $4.2 billion for the carmaker. Tesla will deliver 100,000 vehicles within the next 14 months. Customers will be able to drive eclectic cars soon.
The deal with Hertz comes more than a year after Hertz filed for bankruptcy protection during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. At that time, demand for travel and rental vehicles was quite low.
Electric vehicles gained popularity in the U.S. Americans prefer to buy Tesla’s vehicles. In 2020, the company a lot of electric vehicles in the U.S. But the situation is starting to change as so-called traditional automakers and start-ups invest billions in new electric vehicles to compete against Tesla.

The current leader’s market share of all-electric vehicles this year is already expected to drop to 56% in 2021. In 2020, Tesla’s market share was 79%.

But the industry is developing as more and more are willing to buy electric vehicles. IHS Markit expects EVs to make up about 40% of the U.S. car industry by 2030.
