The Battery Show North America 2026 was held October 12–15 at Huntington Place in Detroit, with the focus shifting from “what’s possible” to “what’s proven.” Energy storage dominated the agenda, as battery makers move from passenger EVs toward grid storage, defense, industrial and rail applications. Domestic supply chains were emphasized as both a Buy America and BABA compliance requirement and a way to shorten lead times, while testing labs are expanding to serve a wider range of industries. Proterra said it has more than 2,000 commercial vehicles on the road and over 50 million service miles powered, with its Onyx platform targeting Class 8 trucks, school buses, transit and industrial equipment.

- Energy Transition Update - Rising Solar Storage Market Spurs Global Clean Energy Shift
The solar energy storage market is expected to grow at a 17.5% CAGR from 2025 to 2033, driven by rising solar adoption, demand for backup power, grid stability needs, falling battery costs and supportive clean energy policies. Lithium-ion batteries dominate, Asia Pacific leads on robust solar deployments, and North America and Europe are growing strongly due to residential battery adoption. Key challenges include high upfront installation costs and supply chain dependence on battery materials. In trading, Barito Pacific jumped 20.1% to IDR1,435.00 after announcing a share repurchase program, while Hanwha Solutions fell 9.9% to ₩30,600. Tesla rose 3.8% to $368.06.
- We Already Know Tesla Is Failing One Key Metric Before It Reports Earnings
Tesla deployed 13.7 GWh of energy storage in the third quarter, about 2.2 GWh short of the 15.9 GWh analysts expected, even though vehicle deliveries beat estimates. That was up 9.6% from 12.5 GWh a year earlier but roughly flat with 13.5 GWh in the second quarter. Energy brought in about 11% of revenue, yet its gross margin fell from 39.5% in the first quarter to 20.4% in the second, while Tesla’s operating margin was just 1.4% that quarter. The Wall Street Journal reported on Oct. 15 that Mike Snyder, who ran energy and charging, has stepped down, with AJ Booth reportedly taking over. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue of $28.25 billion and operating income of $946 million, and the article says management’s answer on the 5:30 p.m. ET call will show whether the shortfall is timing or a slowdown.
- Tesla (TSLA) Reports Q3 Earnings: What Key Metrics Have to Say
Tesla posted quarterly revenue of $28.05 billion, down 0.2% year over year but above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $27.78 billion.

Total vehicle deliveries of 486,532 exceeded the 472,269 analyst average, while energy storage revenue of $2.88 billion fell 15.6% and missed the $3.79 billion estimate. Storage deployments of 13,700 MWh also trailed the 15,084.38 MWh estimate, and automotive gross profit of $3.81 billion beat the $3.42 billion expectation.
- 3 EV Supply Chain Stocks Facing The China Threat In US Manufacturing
The article says China's push into cheap electric vehicles is pressuring U.S. and European automakers, and that Tesla's new Roadster shows technology matters little if it cannot be built at a workable cost. Drawing on a Simply Wall St screen of U.S. advanced manufacturing and EV supply chain companies, it profiles three firms. SOLV Energy designs and builds utility-scale solar and battery storage projects, with about US$3.17 billion of Heavy Construction revenue in the U.S. and a market cap of about US$4.36 billion. Dana makes axles, driveshafts, electric drivetrains and cooling systems, with about US$5.43 billion of Light Vehicle and US$2.42 billion of Commercial Vehicle sales, a market cap of about US$3.04 billion, a three-year net new sales backlog of about US$950 million, and a RAM Dakota axle program worth US$250 million in annual sales. Power Integrations' high-voltage GaN technology extends from 750–1,700 V up to 2,200 V and could lift average selling prices and gross margins. The screen surfaced 112 more companies not covered in the article.
- Tesla Asian supplier shares fall after mixed Q3 earnings, cautious outlook
Tesla's Asian suppliers fell Thursday after the EV maker posted mixed third-quarter results and a cautious outlook on robotics and chipmaking. Battery, electronics and auto parts suppliers were hit hardest, including LG Energy Solution (down 3%), Samsung SDI (down 4.5%), Samsung Electronics (down 3.3%) and CATL (down 5.5% in Hong Kong). Tesla beat on quarterly profit and revenue, but net income fell sharply year on year, and full-year capex guidance was cut to $20 billion from $25 billion. Musk said Optimus is not yet truly useful for open-ended tasks, robotaxi and cybercab revenue will only arrive by mid-to-late 2027, and the Terafab chip venture with SpaceX carries steep costs. Tesla shares fell 3% after hours, after initially rising 1%.
- VinFast Has Found Its “Chicken” — So What Next?
VinFast's growth is opening opportunities for Vietnamese supporting-industry firms to join the auto supply chain more deeply, helping to break the “chicken-and-egg” deadlock between assemblers and suppliers. However, having a large customer does not mean an industrial ecosystem has formed, so lead enterprises must guide markets, technology and production organization to connect and upgrade the entire network. At Vingroup's supplier development conference on October 16, Ms. Thái Thị Thanh Hải, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup, said any process VinFast performs itself can be transferred to qualified suppliers, including machinery and equipment. Vingroup also proposed that one lead supplier coordinate the enterprises further down the chain, while VinFast helps suppliers improve quality management and sometimes sends experienced technical staff to solve production problems.

- 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.
