- Tesla And 2 Other Top Founder Led Stocks
Simply Wall St highlights Tesla, Sprinklr and Spotify Technology as founder-led stocks from its screen. Tesla generates US$91.3 billion in revenue, mainly from automotive, plus US$12.3 billion from energy generation and storage, with a market value of about US$1.47 trillion. Elon Musk still directs bets on products, factories, AI and autonomy, but how these ambitions feed into margins and cash generation remains an open question. Sprinklr, led by Ragy Thomas, reports about US$872.9 million in software and programming revenue and a market value near US$1.6 billion, while integrating AI deeply into its products. Spotify reports €18.8 billion in revenue, most of it from Premium at about €16.9 billion, and a market value near $120.1 billion; Daniel Ek is pushing to improve economics through engagement, and how value is split among labels, creators and the platform is a key test.
- Tesla: 3 Key Takeaways for Long-Term Investors
On its Q3 2026 earnings call on October 21, 2026, Tesla said vehicle demand exceeds production capacity and automotive order backlogs reached their highest level in four years. Revenue from recurring Full Self-Driving (FSD) subscriptions is also growing. Vice President of AI Ashok Elluswamy said the Cybercab will expand beyond Austin, Texas, with a launch in Dallas next month alongside Model Y robotaxis, and that the first customer vehicles could join the robotaxi fleet around Q2 next year. Elon Musk said a merger with SpaceX is off the table for now, while CFO Vaibhav Taneja said capital expenditures will continue to rise over the next few years.
- SpaceX Revenue Projections Look Wildly Optimistic Based on Elon Musk's Forecasting Track Record
Elon Musk targets $1 trillion in SpaceX revenue by 2030 (possibly 2029) and $3.5 trillion around 2033, versus roughly $18.7 billion recorded in 2025. The article argues these estimates should be viewed skeptically, as Musk has a history of overly optimistic forecasts: he predicted 1 million Tesla robotaxis by 2020, but there are currently 300 to 400 active. Tesla's electric semi-truck, originally slated for 2019, only began high-scale production last month, while the Cybertruck was estimated to sell 250,000 units annually but sold about 20,000 last year. Although SpaceX may grow strongly through its AI business, rocket launches and Starlink, the article says reaching Musk's sales targets would be an almost unbelievable achievement.
- Tesla Promises Its Flying Roadster For 2028, but MKBHD Has One Question: ‘This Is A Prank, Right?’
Tesla unveiled its Roadster on Thursday, with cold-gas thrusters sourced from Space Exploration Technologies Corp. enabling barrel rolls and hovering, and promised shipments in 2028. YouTuber Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) questioned the claims, pointing to the car's weight of over 4,000 pounds and asking if it was a prank; he had reserved a Roadster for $50,000 before cancelling, saying Tesla had held his money for eight years. Sam Altman also cancelled a reservation but says he has not received the $50,000 he paid, a claim Musk denied. Analyst Dan Ives said the debut could make the Tesla–SpaceX relationship more tangible, Ross Gerber called a merger between the companies 'obvious,' and Gene Munster described the car as an 'engineering flex' with no economic value for the company.

- Ross Gerber Dismisses Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster as a ‘Marketing' Demo: ‘Old Hot Wheels Dream’
Investor Ross Gerber said on Sunday that he saw Tesla's Roadster unveiling as a marketing and promotional demonstration, not the imminent launch of a flying car as he had initially expected. In an X post, he said the event made clear it was “a marketing demonstration from an old hot wheels dream of Elon’s.” Musk responded that owners would be able to have the Roadster perform the shown tricks autonomously, as it will be “sentient,” and that Tesla will build a looping track at its Texas HQ for testing. The debut also fueled speculation about a SpaceX–Tesla merger, which Gerber and Dan Ives considered obvious, while Barclays analyst Dan Levy said such a proposal could be presented to investors as early as December this year.

- Lion Rock Receives State and County Permits for Pegmatite Extraction & Bulk Sampling
Lion Rock Resources received a state mining license from South Dakota's Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), which together with a previously approved Lawrence County Conditional Use Permit completes permitting to mine pegmatite and conduct bulk sampling at its Volney project in the Black Hills. The company is advancing metallurgical studies, targets a bulk sampling program in 2027, and is evaluating small-scale mining that could generate revenue. Recent drilling returned tantalum intercepts of up to 3,715 ppm Ta₂O₅ over 1.0 m, alongside tin and lithium mineralization. No production decision has been made, and historical concentrate grades of up to 57% Ta₂O₅, 62.5% Sn and 6.3% Li₂O have not been fully verified by a Qualified Person.
- Several Important Factors Protect Amazon’s Margins and Secure Its AI Moat
The author says they added to an Amazon position at $249.09, up 7.92% year to date, as the business accelerates. The article argues that in-house chips, the Bedrock platform supporting multiple AI models and automated logistics help protect margins. Amazon's chips business is reported to run at an annual revenue rate above $25 billion, while AWS posted a 39% operating margin on $42.2 billion in revenue, up 36.7%. The AWS backlog stands at $496 billion, and operating income rose 43.24% to $27.46 billion while revenue grew 19.62%. The article also flags risks: 2026 capex is expected at about $220 billion, trailing 12-month free cash flow was -$7.6 billion, and Q2 GAAP EPS included a $53.4 billion pre-tax gain on the Anthropic stake. Q3 operating income guidance is $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion, compared with $17.4 billion a year earlier.
- CoreWeave Vs. Nvidia: Demand For Silicon is Not The Same Thing as Solvent, Credit-Backed Demand for Physical Infrastructure
CoreWeave and NVIDIA both posted record quarters on AI demand, but the article contrasts NVIDIA's cash from chip sales with CoreWeave's borrowing to build rented data centers. NVIDIA reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $96.221B, up 105.8%, with a 75.0% non-GAAP gross margin, while CoreWeave's revenue rose 112.3% to $2.575B alongside a $104.2 billion backlog. CoreWeave's interest expense rose to $640M from $267M, and its free cash flow was -$5.743B. NVIDIA now offers minimum revenue guarantees, with obligations limited to $108.5B, to help NeoClouds secure financing. The article notes CoreWeave shares fell 36.99% over the past month and are down 22.93% year to date, while NVIDIA is up 16.09%, and argues NVIDIA is better positioned because it is paid at the hardware sale.
- Amkor Technology Halved Over The Last 6 Months: Two Chip Analysts Say 145% Returns Await Those Who Buy Now
Amkor shares, at $36.81, have fallen 51.18% over six months after a Q3 miss: EPS of $0.76 came in below the $0.7766 consensus, and revenue of $1.99 billion missed roughly $2.04 billion expected. Revenue growth slowed to 0.18% year over year, the Communications share of revenue fell to 37% from 51%, and Q4 EPS guidance of $0.65 to $0.75 sits below the $0.7774 consensus. Two analysts, Needham's Charles Shi and UBS's Randy Abrams, carry $90 targets set before the miss, implying about 144% upside from current levels, while the $74.50 consensus target implies about 102%. The article cites AI packaging demand and Q3 gross margin expansion to 18.3% from 14.3%, but notes roughly $2.5 billion in full-year capex. The stock is down 6.3% year to date, while the S&P 500 is up 12.24%.
- Prediction: Broadcom Stock Could Be Worth Twice as Much by 2030
Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70B, up 221% year over year, and total revenue rose 85.5% to $29.59B, yet the stock is down 6.45% this year at $323.24. The article says shares sit near the 52-week low of $288.95 rather than the high of $493.28, and points to competition from Google's cheaper second sources and a 210 basis point sequential drop in gross margin. The article's model sets a one-year target of $402.33, while the consensus target is $527.59. Reaching $650 by 2030 would require a 101.1% gain, or about 35x the forward EPS of $18.376. The article ties this to AI revenue of roughly $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028, with management saying fiscal 2028 EPS should exceed $30. The main risk noted is that a few AI labs drive most of the demand.
- Microsoft Is Paying Workers to Leave So It Can Pay for AI
Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts on October 26 to about 60,000 employees, roughly 27% of the 223,000 full-time staff as of June 30. The article links the offer to rising AI spending, though the announcement does not mention AI or cost cutting. The stock rose 1.54% to $532.60, and the company is valued at about $3.95 trillion. Fiscal 2026 capex reached $115.95 billion, up 79.62%, while free cash flow fell 6.46%, and calendar-2026 capex is put at about $175 billion. The offer covers level 70 and below on selected teams such as Xbox, Windows, Copilot and Finance, while data center, sales and marketing staff are largely excluded. Wells Fargo, which rates the stock Overweight with a $725 target, estimates that if one-third of eligible workers accept, operating margin could rise about 2 percentage points a year, though uptake and total cost were not disclosed.
