General Motors said it will move its stock listing from the NYSE to the Nasdaq to reposition the legacy automaker as a tech-forward company, a change Walmart also made earlier this year. CFO Paul Jacobson said the customer-focused, technology-driven strategy is creating value for shareholders and that Nasdaq is a natural home as the company grows. GM is outfitting its vehicles with more sophisticated software and sensors and aims to cut its development cycle by half through AI tools and virtualization. Envorso founder Adrian Balfour is skeptical, saying the pitch would make sense only with a data or robotics business, as Tesla and SpaceX have.

- GM Just Announced a $20 Billion Buyback. Tesla Trades at 350 Times Earnings. Here's Which Auto Stock I'd Buy Today.
The article compares Tesla (TSLA) and General Motors (GM). GM reported third-quarter results on Oct. 20 with revenue of $50 billion, up nearly 3% from last year, approved a new $20 billion share buyback, and raised its full-year adjusted automotive free cash flow guidance to $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion. Wall Street focused on potential cost increases from inflation and lingering EV losses, which the author believes are largely overblown. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in its latest quarter, beating expectations but down more than 2% from last year; its trailing P/E is about 351 and its market cap is $1.5 trillion, and the author says the stock is priced for perfection amid execution risks and talk of a possible merger with Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX). If choosing just one, the author would pick GM for its consistent profitability, share buybacks and reasonable valuation, while Tesla carries more risk and more potential upside.
- GM aims to develop vehicles in as little as two years with AI, software push
General Motors is leaning on AI and vehicle software for growth as Chinese automakers gain ground abroad and the U.S. market gets tougher. GM now targets a development cycle of roughly two years from concept to production, versus a traditional four to five years, though it did not give a timeline for reaching that goal. The automaker reconfirmed that by 2028 it wants eyes-off highway driving, starting on the Cadillac Escalade IQ EV, and that its in-house OnStar AI assistant will launch on the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq EV via over-the-air update in the coming months. Its next-generation vehicles are expected to have 40 times the computing power and up to 50% faster cellular connectivity, plus 25% better aerodynamics and 15% less weight. GM said it virtually tested more than 300,000 battery designs before building a single physical prototype.
- Why GM is still an automaker despite its move to the Nasdaq
A panel hosted by Laffer Tengler Investments debates whether GM's move to the Nasdaq (^IXIC) makes it a tech or data company. Speakers note GM has worked on connectivity for 10–15 years through OnStar and once brought in Apple executives, though that effort did not work out as well as expected. Most panelists argue GM remains an automaker with heavy physical capital expenditure needs and thousands of workers, so changing the listing location alone does not alter that. They say the move would make more sense if GM pursued a data or robotics focus, and describe Nasdaq 100 inclusion as a plus rather than proof of being a tech company. One panelist concludes that the big winner from the move is the Nasdaq.
- GM will switch to Nasdaq from the NYSE on Nov. 17
General Motors plans to transfer its common stock from the NYSE to Nasdaq, with trading as a Nasdaq-listed company expected to begin on November 17 under the unchanged ticker GM. The move makes GM eligible for potential inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 Index, and current shareholders do not need to take any action. CFO Paul Jacobson said the customer-focused, technology-driven strategy is creating value for stockholders, making Nasdaq a natural home for the listing as the company grows. GM first listed on the NYSE in 1911 and relisted there in 2010 after a government-backed bankruptcy, and it follows companies such as Walmart, DoorDash and Palantir in moving to Nasdaq. GM closed Monday at $76.31 per share, with a market cap of roughly $64.4 billion, and its shares have more than doubled since 2024.

- Mortgage rates fell for the second straight week, but more borrowers still sought savings in riskier loans
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate for conforming loans (up to $832,750) fell to 7.37% from 7.41%, and total mortgage applications rose 3.4% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinance applications were still 61% lower than a year earlier, as about half of borrowers have rates below 4%, while purchase applications rose 4% but were 18% below last year. The ARM share of applications climbed to 11.3%, the highest in more than a year, and the 5/1 ARM rate eased to 6.41%; ARMs are seen as riskier because they adjust to market rates when the fixed term ends. Potential buyers remain worried about the broader economy, and some agents say buyers are waiting for the midterm election results.
- Google alters its cloud playbook, enlisting partners to sell more AI chips
Alphabet said Oracle will offer Google's TPUs, the first time customers can access them outside Google's infrastructure. Analysts expect Google Cloud revenue to jump about 90% from a year earlier, after 82% growth in the second quarter, when Google Cloud revenue was $25 billion versus $42 billion at AWS and $29 billion at Microsoft Azure. Anthropic agreed to use up to 1 million TPUs in a deal worth tens of billions of dollars, and CNBC confirmed OpenAI is also planning to buy TPUs. Broadcom detailed a $63 billion vehicle backed by Blackstone and three big banks to buy TPUs and lease them to Anthropic for five years. TD Cowen estimates a 20% operating margin on TPU sales, compared with about 35% for overall cloud margin last quarter.
- Searchlight Completes Airborne Magnetic Survey at Mari Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan
Searchlight Resources (TSXV: SCLT) has completed a high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over the Mari Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan, covering its expanded 57.0-square-kilometre claim package. The expanded property has approximately seven kilometres of exposure along the Kississing River Shear Zone, which hosts known gold-bearing structures. Preliminary interpretation highlights magnetic features near historical gold occurrences and a possible parallel structural zone that warrants further evaluation. The next step is to integrate the geophysical data with historical drilling, trenching and geological information to identify and prioritize exploration targets. The company cautions that historical results from 1945 to 1986, including 22 drill holes and 39 trenches, have not been independently verified, and drill intercepts are drill-indicated lengths rather than true widths.
- Barksdale Commences Updated PEA for San Javier Copper-Gold Project, Adding Gold for the First Time and Current Consensus Metal Pricing
Barksdale Resources (TSXV: BRO) has commenced an update to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its 100%-owned San Javier copper-gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The 2024 PEA assumed a copper-only heap leach operation at US$4.00/lb copper; the update adds metallurgical testing to assess gold and copper recovery and will replace that price deck with current consensus prices for both metals. In 2026, the company assayed 187 drill core reject samples from five holes drilled in 2007, with four of the five holes returning positive gold results, including 9.0 metres of 3.464 g/t Au in SJ07-64. The 250,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold cited in the 2024 PEA are conceptual, as no gold Mineral Resource has been defined. The update is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027.
- Google to preview crypto custody security system as AI threats grow
Google will unveil Google Multi-Party Compute (MPC), a service that splits a private key into fragments distributed across separate systems to help financial institutions custody and transfer cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets. The product is in private preview, with several design partners and major financial institutions testing it, and Alphabet has begun using it to secure its own assets on Ethereum and Solana; commercial availability is planned for early 2027, with pricing undisclosed. Chainalysis reported that compromised private keys accounted for 43.8% of cryptocurrency stolen in 2024, while DeFiLlama data showed $16.69 billion in cumulative hack and exploit losses as of June, roughly 40% linked to private-key compromises. Google says the complete private key is never stored in one place, reducing the risk of asset takeover even if a single machine is compromised.
- BP Silver Corp. Intersects 10.0 Meters Grading 183.62 g/t Silver and 0.59 g/t Gold (239.65 g/t Silver Equivalent), Including 2.0 Meters Grading 506.50 g/t Silver and 1.08 g/t Gold (600 g/t Silver Equivalent) at Cosuño Silver Project, Bolivia
BP Silver Corp. reported assay results from two more diamond drill holes, CO-0016 and CO-0019, at the Jalsuri North target in Phase 2 of its drilling program at the Cosuño Silver Project in Bolivia. CO-0019 intersected 10.0 m grading 183.62 g/t silver and 0.59 g/t gold (239.65 g/t silver equivalent), including 2.0 m at 506.50 g/t silver and 1.08 g/t gold starting at 3.0 m depth, and a 5.0 m interval from 4.0 to 9.0 m at 294.00 g/t silver and 0.81 g/t gold. Both holes were mineralized with zinc along their full lengths; CO-0019's lower zone graded 2.49% zinc equivalent over 100.0 m, while CO-0016 returned 96 m grading 1.37% zinc. The company said Jalsuri North may host a substantial polymetallic system, and further drilling is needed to determine the continuity of the mineralization.
