Nvidia vs. Tesla: Only ONE is a “Must-Buy” for 2026

Nvidia (NVDA) is a Strong Buy for 2026 given it's projections while Tesla (TSLA) is a Strong Sell due to it's poor growth estimates relative to it's valuation.

Nvidia (NVDA)

Up 88% over the past year Nvidia is still going strong with an incredibly low PEG ratio of just 0.7 considering its size. For reference, the S&P has a PEG of around 1.8 right now, making Nvidia stock over twice as attractive when it comes to the PEG which is a valuation/growth ratio. With a TTM EPS of $4.90 and forecasts showing $7.66 for Jan 2027, it’s likely to see a 59% increase to its earnings in just 9 months.

Nvidia’s valuation is still pretty high at a 36 PE but they’ve beat their latest 4 earnings calls and are still buying back shares which indicates that management views the shares as being undervalued.

The average analyst rating for NVDA is a Strong Buy with a +54% one year forecast, and we have it as a medium risk high reward stock. Our current rating for Nvidia is a Buy with a +24% one year forecast.

Tesla (TSLA)

Unlike Nvidia, the average analyst rating for Tesla stock is currently a Hold with a +9% one year forecast – and we have it rated a Strong Sell with a – 20% decline over the next year.

Tesla stock is down over 20% in the past 6 months thanks to missed delivery estimates and increasing competition. Despite continued delivery increases in China, their market share dropped slightly in 2025 to just under 5%; well behind their biggest Chinese peer BYD.

TSLA
Share Price$360.59 
Earnings Per Share$1.08 
EPS (Forward 1yr)$1.65 
Price to Earnings333.9
EPS Growth (Projected)52.8%
PEG6.3

With forecasted earnings growth of 52% YOY it’s getting difficult for Tesla to justify their high valuation of a 333 PE as they are currently sitting at a PEG ratio of 6.3. They have also missed all 4 of their last earnings calls so for those reasons we have TSLA as high risk, medium reward.
