- What Would You Have Needed To Notice In GM Stock?
General Motors (GM) shares rose 50.6% in the year to October 14, 2026, outpacing the S&P 500's 17.3% gain, even as revenue fell 1.1% over the twelve months to June 2026 and profit weakened sharply. The operating margin for those twelve months was about 1.0%, versus 5.7% a year earlier, and the October to December 2025 quarter posted an operating loss of $3.65 billion. Both 2026 quarters so far show lower margins than a year earlier: 6.7% versus 7.6% for January to March, and 3.0% versus 4.5% for April to June. Meanwhile, the price-to-sales ratio rose to 0.372 from 0.313, meaning investors paid more for each dollar of sales. The article says the operating margin in the quarterly report expected around October 20, 2026 is the key figure to watch, with 2.2% for July to September 2025 as the benchmark.

- 2027 Chevy Silverado , GMC Sierra : GM New Profit Drivers
GM is relying on its next-generation full-size pickups to offset higher costs. The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are starting production across six plants, beginning at Silao in Mexico, and should reach showrooms by year-end. The changeover will remove about 35,000 vehicles from inventory, but GM expects to build as many trucks in 2027 as it did in 2026. Third-quarter net income rose 151% to $3.34 billion, and revenue grew almost 3% to about $50 billion. North America profit before taxes and interest rose 43% to $3.6 billion even as U.S. sales fell 6.3%, while OnStar revenue reached $800 million, up 15%.
- General Motors Shares Plunge 6 % Despite $20 Billion Buyback Announcement And Earnings Beat
General Motors shares fell more than 6% in premarket trading on Tuesday, even though the automaker announced a new $20 billion share buyback and quarterly earnings above Wall Street expectations. In the third quarter GM posted roughly $50 billion in revenue and $4.1 billion in adjusted operating profit, with adjusted EPS of $3.70 against a $3.56 consensus, while automotive free cash flow rose 40% to $5.9 billion. The new authorization follows a $6 billion program earlier this year and about $29.5 billion in buybacks since 2023, and is expected to be used over several years. GM narrowed its 2026 adjusted operating profit guidance to $14.5–15.5 billion from $14–16 billion, keeping the midpoint unchanged. The company is leaning on pickups and higher-end V-8 trucks and SUVs as demand for cheaper vehicles weakens, while profit in China fell 60% to $32 million.
- What General Motors ( GM ) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
General Motors (GM) reported record third-quarter revenue of about $50 billion, up 3% year over year, with adjusted EBIT rising 22% to $4.1 billion and adjusted diluted EPS up more than 30% to $3.70. Adjusted automotive free cash flow reached $5.9 billion, $1.7 billion higher than a year earlier. North America posted an 8.7% margin, helped by a richer full-size pickup mix and lower EV losses, partly offset by commodity, logistics and DRAM costs. GM narrowed its 2026 adjusted EBIT outlook to $14.5–15.5 billion, raised its adjusted automotive free cash flow forecast to $11.5–12.5 billion, and authorized a new $20 billion multiyear share-repurchase program. Recent commodity inflation is expected to add about $400 million in costs in 2026, creating a full-year headwind of roughly $2 billion.

- Tesla earnings loom after Musk calls SpaceX merger a 'good idea'
At SpaceX's earnings call on Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk said merging his two companies would be a 'good idea', and the boards of both have formed special committees to study a possible tie-up. Ahead of Tesla's results after the close on Wednesday, analysts polled by LSEG expect earnings of 43 cents per share and revenue of $27.9 billion, a slight decline from $28.1 billion a year earlier. Tesla's third-quarter deliveries were 486,532, about 2% below the year-ago level, while capital expenditures are expected to top $25 billion this year, up from about $8.5 billion in 2025. Musk said a merger would need support from 50% of all shares, which he called 'quite a high hurdle'. Tesla's stock is down 14% this year.
- Amazon Stock Could Climb Higher as AWS Becomes an Even Bigger Growth Engine
The article argues AWS could drive Amazon's valuation, with growth of 37% last quarter, the fastest in 18 quarters, and a backlog of $496 billion. Second-quarter revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion, and GAAP EPS of $5.75 was lifted by a $53.4 billion Anthropic gain. However, a planned capital spending of about $200 billion in 2026 and recent negative free cash flow of -$7.6 billion raise doubts about Amazon's ability to fund its ambitions. The author's price target is $329.06, 31.62% above the $250 close on October 16, with a bull case of $378.24 and a bear case of $283.26.
- Why SpaceX Stock Popped After Earnings
SpaceX shares rose about 9% by late morning Wednesday after the company reported Q3 earnings of $0.35 per share, more than double the $0.16 analysts expected. Total revenue jumped 161% to $14.6 billion, led by the Super Intelligence (SI) division, whose revenue rose 830% to $7.6 billion and which turned a $431 million profit. Connectivity revenue grew 69% to $5.2 billion and its profit rose 99% to $2.4 billion, while the Space division’s revenue rose just 6% and it swung to a $7 million loss. However, SI capital spending more than tripled to $16.4 billion in the quarter, bringing year-to-date capex to $48.1 billion, and cash burn of $35 billion is on course for $47 billion.
- Musk's SpaceX stock gift is 'tip of the iceberg' for Trump Accounts, Altimeter's Gerstner says
Elon Musk said he plans to give every U.S. child a share of SpaceX next year, and Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner said the stock donations would come via Trump Accounts. Gerstner said Musk's $10.5 billion donation is just the beginning, that he has spoken with “every major tech CEO and founder,” and that he aims to raise $100 billion over the next 12 months. Treasury's temporary rules issued at the end of September let Trump Accounts hold donated individual stocks, not just diversified index funds. Expanding eligibility to U.S. citizens under 40 would require Congress to change the law, and it is unclear whether the proposal has enough legislative backing to pass.
- Bloom Energy Jumps 7% Ahead of Q3 Report as Musk Calls Power AI’s Real Bottleneck; FuelCell Ticks Up, Plug Power Barely Moves
Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) shares rose 7% to $237.27 in morning trading, while FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) gained 2% to $12.60 and Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) slipped 0.4% to $1.40. Elon Musk said on SpaceX's earnings call that power, cooling and infrastructure constrain AI deployment more than chips, and SpaceX plans an incremental 20 gigawatts of power and cooling infrastructure next year. The article says Bloom Energy sells on-site fuel cell power systems for data centers, so it is most directly tied to that demand, while FuelCell focuses on utility-scale platforms and Plug Power on hydrogen fuel and material-handling equipment. Bloom Energy's third-quarter report is expected October 22 after the close.
- Elon Musk Says ‘I’ve Never Seen Anything Grow This Fast.’ One Product is the Key to Musk’s Plans to Cross $1 Trillion in Revenue.
Musk said Grok Bot, an always-on AI agent SpaceX launched in August, is the fastest-growing product he has ever seen and may end up using most of its superintelligence compute. SpaceX said Grok Bot had 800,000 paid weekly users earlier this month, more than doubling over the prior month, and expects wide enterprise deployment within a few weeks. Musk projected SpaceX's annual recurring revenue by the end of 2027 at between $500 billion and $1 trillion, but this is his own projection rather than company guidance. CFO Bret Johnson's stated goal is $100 billion in annual recurring revenue by year-end, while the AI unit's third-quarter revenue reached $7.6 billion, up 830% year over year, mainly from cloud services. Capital spending was $19.6 billion in the quarter and is expected at $35 to $40 billion in Q4.
