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.

- Badly Crippled GM Moves To Nasdaq
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.
- 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.
- GM Stock Falls 7% Despite Q3 Earnings Beat: Buy the Dip?
GM reported third-quarter 2026 EPS up 32.2% to $3.70, beating the $3.55 consensus, and revenue of $50.02 billion, up 3%, yet its shares fell 6.84%. The company raised its adjusted automotive free cash flow forecast to $11.5-$12.5 billion and authorized a $20-billion multi-year buyback. Headwinds include a $2 billion cost pressure in 2026 from commodities, logistics and DRAM, tariffs, about 35,000 fewer units in Q4 from pickup launches, and $11.2 billion in EV-related charges since the second half of 2025. Recurring revenue from OnStar, with $6.8 billion in deferred revenue, supports the long-term story. The article concludes that cost and execution risks outweigh the strong quarter, so the buyback and growth drivers justify patience rather than rushing in.

- Fed Rate Decision: What Markets and Bitcoin Traders Can Expect
The Fed announces its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET today, with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference to follow, and futures and prediction markets put the odds of a hold above 90%. The target range is 3.75%–4.00% after September's 12-0 hike, and inflation was 3.7% in the 12 months through September, with oil near $100 a barrel. Hiring is slowing, with employers adding just 29,000 jobs in September against forecasts of about 90,000. Higher inflation pushes up Treasury yields, with the 10-year near 5% after peaking at 5.31% on Oct. 5, which pulls money from riskier assets, and bitcoin trades around $80,700. Markets give 75% to 80% odds of another quarter-point hike at the Dec. 8-9 meeting, and analysts call the likely outcome a 'hawkish hold'.

- Wall Street’s Borrowing Binge Is Slowing, and BofA Says That Can Signal a Top
BofA technical strategist Paul Ciana said year-over-year margin debt growth slowed to 31.4% in September from 53.7% in May, a pattern he linked to past market peaks. Margin debt owed to brokers was about $1.48 trillion at the end of September, close to a record, and still rose 1.80% from August. Leverage has also shifted into leveraged ETFs and options, with the ten largest leveraged equity ETFs taking in $12 billion over one month. Robinhood's record $22.1 billion margin book grew 59% year over year, down from 127% in the second quarter, and the article says HOOD, down 35.17% over the past year, has more downside risk. Two data points, FINRA's October margin data and Robinhood's fourth-quarter margin book, would show whether the borrowing cycle is still running.
- SK Hynix Says Memory Is Sold Out Through 2029. Micron Is a Winner, Too
SK Hynix reported record third-quarter results on Oct. 28, with revenue of 104.62 trillion won ($77.99 billion), up 328% from a year earlier, and operating profit of 83.33 trillion won ($62.12 billion), up 632%. The company said its DRAM and HBM production is effectively sold out through 2029, with memory shortages expected to last through 2030. The article notes HBM uses far more capacity than conventional DRAM, about 300 bits of standard DRAM per 100 bits of HBM3E and nearly 4-to-1 with HBM4E, which could tighten conventional supply and support Micron's pricing. It also cautions that memory is historically cyclical and that Micron's new Idaho capacity and rising competitor output could weaken conditions if demand slows. Micron shares rose nearly 5% that morning and are up more than 200% in 2026.
- UPS Soars 6% on Raised Outlook as CEO Dispels Belief That “Volume Solves All Problems”
UPS shares rose 6% after third-quarter revenue grew 6.7% to $22.9 billion, above the $22.28 billion analysts expected, and adjusted EPS of $1.69 beat the $1.62 consensus. U.S. revenue per piece rose 6.1% even as average daily domestic volume fell 3% after UPS finished cutting Amazon deliveries, lifting adjusted domestic operating profit 14% to $1.03 billion. UPS raised its 2026 outlook to about $92.6 billion in revenue (from $91.2 billion), adjusted operating profit of about $8.75 billion, adjusted EPS of about $7.28 (from $7.22) and free cash flow of about $6.1 billion (from $5.5 billion), which covers the roughly $5.4 billion in planned dividends. Before the jump, UPS traded at 12.9x forward earnings versus a five-year average of 15.2x, and the article says the holiday quarter, with daily volume expected to fall 1.3%, is the next test.
- BofA clients dump communication services stocks at record pace after Meta slump
Bank of America's weekly equity flows note showed clients sold $3.5 billion of single stocks last week as the S&P 500 fell 0.5%, a second straight week of selling after record outflows of about $15 billion the prior week. Communication services saw its biggest weekly outflow since becoming a GICS sector in September 2018, following a sharp post-earnings sell-off in Meta Platforms, while industrials recorded their 13th straight week of outflows. Clients bought $2.3 billion of equity ETFs, with tech funds drawing the largest inflows, and institutional clients were buyers after outsized tax-loss selling in October. Corporate buybacks accelerated for a fourth week but stayed slightly below seasonal averages, with rolling 52-week buybacks at their lowest since August 2021. BofA also noted a rotation out of momentum and into value and cash-return strategies as rates ease and AI concerns rise.
