- Tesla's Full Self-Driving Business Is Growing Fast. But There's a Catch for Investors
Tesla reported third-quarter results on October 21, and its shares fell about 3% afterward. Deliveries totaled 486,532, down 2% year over year but above analyst estimates, while vehicle sales fell 3%, revenue was roughly flat at $28 billion, and non-GAAP EPS dropped 4% to $0.48. The Full Self-Driving business was a bright spot: active FSD subscriptions rose 67% to 1.74 million, priced at $99 per month in the U.S., with an annual run rate approaching $1 billion, and the attach rate in North America exceeded 75%, up nearly 20 percentage points sequentially. The author flags risks including subscription retention, regulatory hurdles, a federal safety investigation after the Cybercab launch, and a valuation of 149.3x forward earnings. Given these uncertainties, the author remains skeptical and is cautious about Tesla stock at current levels.
- Tesla Cybercabs Could Reach Customers by End of 2026, but Elon Musk Says Vast Majority Will Be TSLA-Owned
On the Q3 earnings call, CEO Elon Musk said most Cybercabs will be owned by Tesla and operated as a transport-as-a-service model rather than sold to consumers. VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy said the company is trying to get Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026, while current units built in Texas are going into its internal fleet. AI lead Ashok Elluswamy estimated that some first customer Model Ys could join the Robotaxi fleet around Q2 next year. Tesla reported revenue of $28.05 billion, above the $27.88 billion consensus, though automotive revenue fell 3% YoY to $20.56 billion. EPS of 48 cents beat the 43-cent estimate, and active FSD subscriptions reached 1.74 million, up 67% YoY. ARK Invest said the Robotaxi service could make up more than 80% of Tesla's enterprise value.

- Tesla Stock Lags Apple Because Of ‘Communications Problem,’ Says Investor Gary Black
Investor Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund LLC, argued that Tesla (TSLA) has a “communications problem” that undermines its credibility despite strong products, while Apple (AAPL) does not. He noted that over the past year Apple gained 33% while Tesla fell 17%, and over five years Apple rose 133% versus 9% for Tesla. Black called on Tesla to disclose how many customers keep their FSD subscriptions three to six months after free trials end, rather than only right after. He called the reported over 75% paid FSD sign-up rate on North American third-quarter deliveries “clearly inflated,” while RBC Capital analyst Tom Narayan has estimated 30-40% on a paid basis. Tesla said it has over 1.7 million paid FSD customers globally.

- China and Russia are redrawing Arctic trade. Can Europe fight back?
China and Russia have agreed to expand freight traffic along Arctic shipping corridors, boost port-to-port services and deepen cooperation on building polar vessels, shortly after the EU unveiled a new Arctic strategy to counter their growing influence. Analysts say Europe's ability to challenge the partnership is limited, since Moscow controls the Northern Sea Route and Beijing supplies cargo, vessels and industrial capacity. The route could cut Asia–Europe transit to 18 to 22 days, about 35% less than the 28 to 35 days via Suez. Arctic trade still accounts for roughly 0.3% of global shipping, with 37.02 million tonnes transiting the Northern Sea Route in 2025, and Roche estimates it could reach about 1% by 2030. Experts say the EU's leverage lies in expanding icebreaker capacity and maritime surveillance, but that this is not enough to reverse the structural advantages of Moscow and Beijing.
- What a $1,000 Investment in Micron Could Be Worth by the End of 2027
Micron's stock has more than tripled so far in 2026, placing it among the top five best performers in the S&P 500. The author argues the company is shifting toward a more stable chip-supplier model through long-term take-or-pay agreements, with 35% of revenue locked in through 2030. Micron has told investors that 2027 and 2028 will be tougher, but new capacity coming online from mid-2027 to late 2028 is still expected to fall short of rising demand. Wall Street analysts expect revenue to grow 107% in 2027, while the stock trades at 4.8 times fiscal 2027 earnings estimates. The author estimates that if the stock reaches 20 times earnings, a $1,000 investment could exceed $4,000 by the end of 2027, though this depends on whether the market awards a higher valuation.
- From 26/11/2026, depositors at people's credit funds can look up their deposit information
The State Bank of Vietnam has issued Circular No. 55/2026/TT-NHNN, amending Circular No. 18/2025/TT-NHNN on collecting, exploiting, sharing and reporting information for the supervision system of people's credit funds and microfinance institutions. The key change is a new clause 4 in Article 8, which allows depositors at people's credit funds to look up information about their own deposits while keeping personal information confidential. If the lookup results do not match, customers must provide the information to the regional State Bank branch, which will verify and handle it under the law. The circular also clarifies the scope of information shared with the Co-operative Bank of Vietnam and Vietnam Deposit Insurance, and requires recipients to use the data only for its stated purpose. The circular was issued on 12/10/2026 and takes effect from 26/11/2026.
- Is the deposit rate cut just a 'pie in the sky'?
About 26 banks have announced cuts to their listed deposit rates since 18/10, yet a Tien Phong survey on 26/10 found that customers with large deposits were still offered rates well above the listed levels, which are commonly 5-6%/year. One state-owned bank advised 8%/year for a 6-month term while its counter table showed 3%/year, and another bank's app displayed 9.0%/year for 6 months against a listed 5.7%/year. On 21/10/2026, the State Bank of Vietnam asked banks to make genuine cuts to deposit and lending rates, with the average rate on new deposits of 6 months or longer to fall by at least 0.5%/year in the final months of the year. Rong Viet Securities (VDSC) expects deposit rates to fall quickly in the short term but finds deep cuts hard in 2027, since the gap between deposits and credit remains large, although it has narrowed from about 2.8 million billion VND to about 2.35 million billion VND.
- One bank's Q3 profit falls nearly 80%
As of 26 October, Q3 pre-tax profits of Saigonbank, KienlongBank, BAOVIET Bank and PGBank all declined year on year, with Saigonbank's falling nearly 80%. Saigonbank reported Q3 pre-tax profit of VND 17.8 billion and nine-month pre-tax profit of nearly VND 66 billion, down nearly 75%, mainly due to weaker services and foreign exchange trading and sharply higher operating costs. Its loans to customers stood at VND 21,754 billion as of 30/6/2026, slightly lower than at end-2025, while customer deposits fell to VND 25,171 billion. BAOVIET Bank's Q3 pre-tax profit fell 41% to VND 17 billion, KienlongBank's dropped 12.7% and PGBank's fell over 10%, although KienlongBank and PGBank still posted nine-month growth. Positive results in some business lines were not enough to offset the factors weighing on profits.
- US ready to strike Iran within 96 hours if President Trump gives the order
Sources say US forces in the Middle East are ready to launch new military operations against Iran, possibly on a large scale, within 96 hours of receiving orders from President Donald Trump. The operations could go well beyond earlier strikes that targeted radars, launchers and other Iranian assets that could be quickly restored. The target list reportedly includes energy infrastructure, military sites and nuclear facilities, and officials believe an order could come before year-end, most likely after the midterm elections. Intelligence assessments suggest Iran and the Houthis would likely retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Iran is attacked first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly pushed for new strikes, but US officials have asked him to delay.
