Tesla Inc. has spooked Wall Street to where two analysts are now predicting sales will decline this year.

Alexander Potter of Piper Sandler expects deliveries will slip 0.5% to just shy of 1.8 million vehicles, while Philippe Houchois of Jefferies foresees a roughly 3% drop to 1.77 million. Both analysts cut their price targets, with Potter lowering his to $205 and Houchois reducing his to $165.
