The article argues that GM's move to the Nasdaq will not solve its problems, despite the company's push to be seen as a tech-forward automaker. So far this year GM shares are down 1% while the S&P 500 is up 13%, and over five years GM is up 48% versus 68% for the index. With a market cap of $69 billion compared with Tesla's $1.5 trillion, the piece says GM holds an 18.3% share of the US market, just ahead of Toyota at 17.3%, and is weak in Europe and China. It also argues GM's US position depends heavily on a tariff wall against Chinese EVs, which US politicians could remove quickly.

- What Is Behind The Move In GM Stock?
General Motors (GM) shares rose 5.5% on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, while the S&P 500 gained 0.6%, the day GM said it will move its listing from the NYSE to Nasdaq and keep the 'GM' ticker. Shares trade on the NYSE through November 16, 2026 and on Nasdaq from November 17, and news reports said the switch could make GM eligible for the Nasdaq-100 Index. News reports also said GM plans to offer hybrid versions of its popular three-row SUVs, a strategic shift after heavy investment in electric vehicles. Tesla rose 4.0%, Rivian 3.4%, and XLY 1.0%, but GM's gain was rare: in the prior 365 days only one other session saw a rise of this size, an 8.7% gain on January 27, 2026. Yet from July 29 to October 27 GM fell 9.7% while the S&P 500 gained 5.8%, and the article points to operating margin of 7.2% of revenue in Q3 2026 versus 2.2% a year earlier as a figure to watch in the Q4 2026 report due January 2027.
- GM Just Announced a $20 Billion Buyback . Tesla Trades at 350 Times Earnings . Here Which Auto Stock Id Buy Today .
GM reported third-quarter revenue of $50 billion, up nearly 3% from a year earlier, approved a new $20 billion share buyback, and raised its full-year adjusted automotive free cash flow guidance to $11.5 billion–$12.5 billion. Wall Street focused on inflation-related cost increases and lingering electric-vehicle losses, which the author considers largely overblown. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles last quarter, beating analyst expectations but down more than 2% year on year, and trades at a trailing P/E of about 351 with a $1.5 trillion market cap. The author sees Tesla as a more complex business with higher risk and upside, but concludes GM is the better pick given its consistent profitability, buybacks and reasonable valuation.
- TSLA leads the Magnificent 7 in October, but 2 motorcycle stocks outpace Tesla while Chinese EV stocks decline
HOG and LiveWire (LVWR) have outpaced Tesla (TSLA) in October's auto-stock rally, with LVWR up about 22%, HOG up 21% and TSLA up 15%. Tesla has been helped by Q3 deliveries of 486,532 vehicles, above the 463,761 expected, adjusted EPS of $0.48 versus a $0.45 estimate, and a cut to its annual spending outlook to $20 billion from more than $25 billion, though revenue missed expectations. Tesla and SpaceX have each formed independent committees to explore a combination, but no terms have been agreed. For Harley, North American retail sales rose 3% in Q2 and the company targets more than $150 million in cost reductions; Citi upgraded the stock to 'Buy' from 'Neutral' with a $33 target, while tariffs remain a complication after Canada reportedly imposed a 50% import duty in September. LiveWire, down nearly 60% this year, is exploring strategic options after its CEO resigned.
- Rick Lazio: We’ve lost an auto race before, China’s EV climb should worry us
The author says the U.S. still produces breakthroughs such as Tesla's newly unveiled Roadster, but struggles to turn innovation into affordable products at scale. Chinese brands are gaining ground in Britain, where the Jaecoo 7 became the best-selling new vehicle in September and Chinese brands took nearly a quarter of the new-car market. The author argues the 100% U.S. tariff on Chinese EVs imposed in 2024 shields American automakers but cannot improve productivity, noting that Chinese battery pack prices fell about 30% in 2024 versus 15% in the U.S. Recalling Japanese competition in the 1970s and 1980s, the author says the U.S. needs stronger incentives for innovation, such as the federal R&D tax credit and better access to capital for smaller manufacturers. The author also notes that some states' decision not to adopt the federal rule allowing immediate deduction of domestic research costs leaves local businesses with less money to invest.
- Tesla Got Trump Tariff Refunds, and Elon Musk Isn’t Sitting on the Cash — CFO Says Money Is Going Into...
Tesla is reinvesting recent tariff refunds into expanding U.S. manufacturing capacity, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said on the third-quarter earnings call. Energy gross margin improved sequentially from 20.4% to 33.1%, primarily due to tariff refunds recognized in the quarter and warranty true-downs tied to cell-related costs. Capital expenditures are expected to keep rising over the next few years to add Robotaxi fleet, expand Optimus production, install solar manufacturing, purchase AI compute infrastructure and build a semiconductor fab. CEO Elon Musk targets 5 million vehicles a year by around 2030, while the Austin-based Terafab research fab is expected to begin commissioning machinery in the first half of next year. TSLA was 5.32% lower in premarket trading Thursday after closing up 3.41% at $386.47 Wednesday, and is up 14.06% year-to-date.
- TSLA Eyes Best Week In 2 Months — Analyst Sees Physical Tech's 'Berkshire,' But Bear Credits Court Ruling For Q3 Beat
Tesla (TSLA) shares fell 3% to $374.58 on Thursday but were still up 6% for the week, on track for their strongest weekly gain since late August. Tesla reported adjusted EPS of $0.48 versus a $0.45 consensus, while revenue of $28.05 billion came in below the expected $28.25 billion. GLJ Research argued the Q3 beat came from a Supreme Court tariff ruling rather than operations, cutting its adjusted EPS estimate to $0.38 versus $0.44 expected. Canaccord raised its target to $442 from $410 and kept a 'Buy' rating, while JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Mizuho, Cantor Fitzgerald and BNP Paribas also adjusted targets or ratings, with targets ranging from $410 to $485. Tesla has more than 1.7 million paid FSD customers globally, while its stock is down about 17% so far this year.

The job postings do not mention salaries. Tesla Motors Việt Nam was established in mid-September in HCMC with charter capital of over 77.6 billion dong. At the group level, Tesla reported third-quarter revenue of $28 billion and net income of $787 million, down 43% year on year due to sharply higher spending on humanoid robots and other AI initiatives.

- Where Will Oracle Stock Be in 1 Year?
Oracle shares have fallen 54% over the past year on concerns about the large debt taken on to build AI data centers. The median 12-month Wall Street price target of $240 implies an 84% gain from current levels, and 36 of 45 analysts (80%) rate the stock a buy. Oracle reported a backlog of $664 billion in fiscal Q1 2027 (ended Aug. 31), with cloud infrastructure revenue up 121%. The company expects fiscal 2027 revenue to rise 34% to at least $90 billion, while analysts expect 46% growth to $131.8 billion in fiscal 2028. The article argues that at 5 times sales, below the five-year average of 6.6 times, a rerating to 7 times sales by the end of fiscal 2028 would put market cap near $923 billion, 133% above the current level.
