- Why Tesla (TSLA) stock is trading up today
Tesla shares rose 6.1% in the afternoon session after Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight and raised its price target to $450 from $370. Analyst Dan Levy expects automotive deliveries to return to growth this year after two years of declines, supported by Full Self-Driving adoption and Shanghai exports, and said energy storage is nearly sold out for 2027 due to data-center demand. The research also noted that exploratory committees at Tesla and SpaceX could add a transaction premium to the shares. Tesla is down 9.5% year-to-date and trades 19.1% below its 52-week high of $489.88.

- Jefferies raises Tesla price target as resilient deliveries support automotive outlook
Jefferies raised its Tesla price target to $400 from $350 and kept a 'hold' rating, implying 5% upside from the $382.70 closing price cited in its 12 October note. Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the quarter, up 1% quarter-on-quarter but down 2% year on year, and Jefferies expects third-quarter revenue of $29.2 billion and cash outflow of about $5 billion. The broker cut longer-term estimates due to limited new models, slower energy-storage growth and likely early losses from new ventures, yet sees improving prospects for FSD, energy storage and robotaxis. The higher target reflects potential value from Tesla's broader technology ambitions, including a possible SpaceX merger, rather than a clearer near-term earnings outlook.
- Tesla's Q3 Per-Car Fiscal Metrics Show Minor but Important Progress
Tesla reported revenue of just over $28 billion and EPS of $0.48, beating estimates of $27.9 billion and $0.43, but investors balked at a lowered 2026 spending outlook of $20 billion, down from around $25 billion, largely funded from operating cash flow. Per-car production costs fell for a second straight quarter, from $37,748 in Q2 to $36,077 in Q3, and gross profit per delivery rebounded from $7,213 to $7,864. Average selling prices have dropped since the first quarter, partly reflecting more sales of the lower-cost Model 3. The article sees modest but encouraging progress in Tesla's EV profitability, which could allow the business to stand on its own while Tesla pursues robotaxi and robotics ventures.
- Is Tesla Stock Safer Or Riskier Than A Year Ago?
Tesla (TSLA) shares closed on October 26 at 394.3 times trailing twelve-month profit, compared with 22.9 times for the S&P 500. In the twelve months to September 30, 2026, Tesla booked $4.3 billion of stock-based pay expense, more than its $3.22 billion net income, the first time in five years that this has happened. The gap came as quarterly revenue held at $28.0 billion while operating costs rose, pushing operating income down to $0.718 billion from $1.86 billion a year earlier. Net cash stood at $28.8 billion at the end of September, compared with about $27.8 billion a year earlier, and management said it does not plan to draw on the new credit lines in 2026. The company projects about $20 billion of capital spending for 2026, which it plans to fund mainly from operating cash flow.
- Barclays Upgrades Tesla Stock Citing SpaceX Merger Potential And Robotaxi Growth
Barclays upgraded Tesla from Equalweight to Overweight and raised its price target to $450 from $370, and the shares rose 2.0% in pre-open trading. The bank cited three factors: the expected combination with SpaceX, an improving core auto business, and early signs that Robotaxi is gaining traction. Mizuho also raised its price target to $460 and kept an Outperform rating. Tesla said auto margins excluding credits rose from 16.3% to 18.1%, cumulative unsupervised Robotaxi miles grew 8x in the quarter, and it expects about $20 billion in capital expenditures this year. Elon Musk said the special committees at both companies have not agreed on merger terms, and a deal would need approval from 50% of all Tesla shares, which he called a high hurdle.

- Proposal to Raise Land Auction Deposits to 50% to Curb Deposit Forfeiture?
The government proposes raising auction deposits to as much as 50% of the starting price to curb abnormally high bids followed by deposit forfeiture. In Thanh Oai district, Hanoi (August 2024), only 13 of 68 plots had their winning bidders complete financial obligations, while all plots won at VND 80 million to over VND 100 million per square metre were forfeited. A more serious case in Sóc Sơn (late November 2024) led to criminal prosecution of six people who deliberately pushed up bids on 36 plots, causing losses of nearly VND 420 million. Lawyer Phạm Ngọc Thanh warned that such price manipulation could create land price levels without basis and push sale prices above reasonable value. Experts say a 20-50% deposit should be carefully assessed, as it may limit access for genuine buyers, while wealthy speculators can still meet it easily.
- Sorrow for Technology Stocks on Vietnam's Stock Market
Leading technology stocks on Vietnam's exchange, including FPT, CMG and VNZ, have all fallen sharply from their record highs. FPT's market capitalization is about VND 105,000 billion, its lowest since August 2023; CMG is trading near its lowest level since September 2021; and VNG's market value is about VND 16,000 billion. The article says the rapid growth of AI, especially cheaper AI models that reduce demand for outsourcing services, may be one reason foreign investors have pulled back, with FPT net sold by more than VND 16,000 billion since early 2026, the second-largest net sale on the exchange. FPT's leadership has repeatedly said AI will reshape rather than replace IT services, and the group's workforce across its ecosystem reached nearly 90,000 people as of 30 September 2026, up 3,682 from the end of 2025.
- Brazilian companies turned to stablecoins on election day to dodge a currency crash
On Brazil's election day, USDT trading on Mercado Bitcoin jumped nearly 800% and bitcoin volume surged 865% from the previous Sunday, with corporate accounts generating 78% of activity as companies sought to hedge currency risk while traditional markets were closed. Prediction markets had priced opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro as a roughly 80% favorite, but incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won. On Monday, the Ibovespa fell 14%, its worst performance since March 2020, while the dollar rose more than 8% against the real, its largest daily gain since 1999. A Mercado Bitcoin analyst said stablecoins offer a simple way to move part of assets into dollars, while USDT/BRL trading on Binance more than tripled.
- OpenAI Proves ETH Is False, and Crypto Twitter Has Questions
OpenAI says its AI has disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), a 1999 computer-science conjecture unrelated to Ethereum. The hypothesis holds that 3-SAT cannot be solved much faster than trying every combination, and hundreds of papers rely on it. OpenAI's 67-page paper, dated October 17 and revised October 25, describes a deterministic algorithm that counts satisfying assignments in subexponential time. Impagliazzo, Paturi, and MIT's Ryan Williams lead the independent review but stress that their involvement is not certification of the claim. Anthropic separately posted a Claude-credited paper dated October 26 on 3-SAT, which says its result is purely asymptotic and does not address solving formulas in practice.
- 3 Energy Stocks I'm Not Selling, No Matter What the Market Does
The author lists recent concerns for AI-linked energy stocks, including a rise in the cost of insuring CoreWeave's bonds against default and Meta Platforms' silence on its 2027 capital expenditure plans. Constellation Energy (CEG), Vistra (VST), and Bloom Energy (BE) have fallen 36% to 38% from their all-time highs, but the author says the long-term thesis is unchanged and will keep holding all three. Constellation signed a 3.6 GW, 20-year PPA with Alphabet's Google, while Vistra secured a $4.2 billion U.S. Department of Energy commitment to finance 433 MW of nuclear uprates. Bloom's quarterly revenue grew 138% year over year to $1.2 billion, and its full-year revenue guidance was raised to $4.5 billion at the midpoint. Forward earnings multiples for Constellation and Vistra have fallen to 21 and 16, from about 43 and 37 last year.
- Micron’s Long-Term Returns Crushed the S&P 500. Does the Recent Drop Matter?
Micron shares have fallen 15.44% in a month, from $1,082.10 on September 25 to $915.07. Despite the drop, a $1,000 investment held for 10 years grew to $54,576.30, while the S&P 500 over the same period reached $3,610.10. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $133.19 billion, up 256.3%, as high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI accelerators reshaped the business. The article asks whether AI-fueled momentum will continue or whether this is the start of a familiar memory-cycle crash. It points to whether memory supply stays tight through 2028 and whether AI infrastructure spending slows as the two signals to watch.
