Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): Tesla's shares have shown a significant increase over the past year compared to its industry peers, rising by 59.7%. However, the company faces challenges such as pricing pressures, fierce competition, and a projected decline in deliveries for 2024.

Strong demand for its MedSurg and Cardiovascular products, along with successful acquisitions, are key growth drivers. Nevertheless, the company must navigate cost inflation and FX headwinds that could impact future performance.
