- Should You Buy, Hold or Sell TSLA Stock After Its Cybercab Fleet Jump?
Tesla's Cybercab, a two-seat vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, has grown past 300 vehicles in a month, but it still trails Alphabet's Waymo in driverless experience: Tesla's robotaxi hubs have logged about 380,000 driverless miles, while Waymo has over 220 million rider-only miles. NHTSA is auditing whether Cybercab meets U.S. safety standards, with Tesla given until Oct. 30 to answer 21 requests. Core business is under pressure: Q3 deliveries of 486,532 units fell 2.1% year over year, automotive gross margin excluding regulatory credits slipped to 16.3% in Q2, energy storage margin dropped to 20.4% from 39.5%, and 2026 capex is expected to top $25 billion. Shares are down 12% over the past year and trade at a 13.08 forward price-to-sales ratio, EPS estimates have been cut, and the article assigns TSLA a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
- Tesla China Electric Vehicle Sales Jump 5% in September as European Rebound Continues
Tesla sold 95,366 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built in Shanghai in September, up 5% from a year earlier and the 11th straight month of year-over-year gains. Shanghai-built sales rose 13.7% in Q3, helped by a European rebound, while global Q3 deliveries fell 2.1% against a record year-ago quarter. Tesla is offering discounts of 7,000 yuan on select Model Y versions and 5,000 yuan on Model 3 through the end of October. Automotive margins excluding regulatory credits fell from 19.2% to 16.3% in Q2, and capex is set to top $25 billion this year. The article says discounts could squeeze profits, while Tesla is on track for full-year growth after two years of decline.

- I've Covered Tesla for Over a Decade. Here's Whether It's a Stock to Buy More Than 21% Below Its Record.
Tesla's third-quarter operating income rose to $718 million from $398 million in the second quarter, but the author argues most of the gain came from $786 million in tariff refunds recorded as lower costs. After subtracting $339 million owed to some energy storage customers, the refunds added about $447 million to gross profit, over 60% of operating income; without them, operating income would be about $270 million. Revenue was flat year over year at $28.0 billion, GAAP net income fell 43% to $787 million, and free cash flow topped $1.5 billion. Management cut its 2026 capital spending forecast to around $20 billion and said Megapacks are almost sold out for 2027. The author notes the stock, near $380 and more than 21% below its record, trades at about 420 times earnings after EPS of $0.22 replaced $0.39, and says he would want to see operating income rise without refunds and a per-mile Robotaxi figure before getting more interested.
- Why a Merger With Tesla Could Be a Disaster for SpaceX
The article argues that a merger between Elon Musk's SpaceX and Tesla could be unfavorable for SpaceX investors. Both boards have formed special committees to review the deal, and Musk has recused himself while calling a combination “a good idea.” In the third quarter, SpaceX revenue more than doubled on growth in its AI infrastructure business, while Tesla revenue was flat at $28 billion, automotive revenue fell 3% to $20.5 billion, and vehicle deliveries dropped 2% to 486,532. The author says Tesla's valuation rests almost entirely on future products such as Optimus and self-driving, so SpaceX investors could overpay in a merger, and concludes they should oppose it until Tesla's valuation falls or its autonomy businesses show a clear financial impact.

- Cardano holders are being asked to bet $5 million on copper hitting a new record
Toto Finance is asking Cardano's treasury for 22 million ADA, about $5 million, to buy and tokenize copper, with voting closing Nov. 15. About two-thirds of the budget would buy copper stored in a COMEX-approved warehouse for 18 to 24 months before sale, while the rest covers storage, insurance, audits and Toto's work. If the full budget is spent and ADA's dollar price stays unchanged, copper would need to rise about 49.4% for the treasury to recover its investment, and there is no guarantee the treasury gets its original ADA back. Toto could receive up to 3.36 million ADA, roughly 15% of the request, and would keep its commercial rights to its tokenized-copper business. The proposal would use just over half of Cardano's remaining withdrawal allowance, which would not be replenished under existing rules.
- Bitcoin Core changes security policy as AI makes bugs easier to find
Bitcoin Core is changing its security disclosure policy because large language models have made some flaws easy to rediscover, so long embargoes offer little protection. Under the new policy, vulnerabilities deemed easily discoverable will be fixed as soon as possible across all maintained major versions, with security advisories published alongside the updates. Other flaws will follow severity-based schedules: low-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the fix is released, while medium and high-severity bugs will be disclosed two weeks after the last affected release reaches End of Life, typically a year after the fix. The change follows a volunteer Bitcoin Red Team report of nearly 5,000 potential issues across 390 projects in August, though only about a fifth had been reproduced at that point.
- Asia FX steadies as oil surge weighs on risk appetite, yen holds gains
Asian currencies and the U.S. dollar were largely subdued on Friday as investors weighed rising energy costs and geopolitical tensions, while the yen held its gains after a safe-haven rally tied to concerns over global growth and tech valuations. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 101.60 by 03:33 GMT, near a three-week low and on track for a second straight weekly loss. USD/JPY edged up 0.1% to 156.90 after a nearly 1% drop in the previous session, as the yen reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent crude near $114 a barrel, after a 4% jump on Thursday following attacks in Saudi Arabia, raises inflation risks for energy importers such as Japan, India and South Korea. The Indian rupee extended its losses, with USD/INR up 0.3% to 95.109, while the yuan hovered near four-year lows; the Fed is expected to hold rates at 3.75%-4.00% on October 28, with ECB and BoJ decisions due on October 29 and 30.
- Securities firm with the heaviest loss in the sector in Q3 2026 revealed
APG Securities (APG) posted a pre-tax loss of nearly 108 billion VND in Q3 2026, compared with a profit of nearly 20 billion VND a year earlier, the largest loss among securities firms that have reported Q3 results. Revenue fell 21% to nearly 69 billion VND and gains from FVTPL financial assets dropped 93%, while operating expenses rose to nearly 124 billion VND, mainly due to a 119 billion VND loss on FVTPL assets. Financial expenses rose nearly 33% to 43.5 billion VND, mostly interest costs. For the first nine months, APG recorded a pre-tax loss of nearly 105 billion VND, against a profit of over 28 billion VND a year earlier, putting its 2026 pre-tax profit target of 20 billion VND under pressure.
- IonQ vs. Rigetti Computing: Which Quantum Computing Stock Is the Better Buy?
The article compares quantum computing companies IonQ (ion-based) and Rigetti Computing (superconducting). Rigetti reported Q2 revenue of $5.1 million, up from $1.8 million in 2025, but an operating loss of $28.1 million, and held $541.3 million in cash and investments; it also received a $100 million award from the U.S. Department of Commerce. IonQ posted Q2 revenue of $80.1 million and forecasts 2026 sales of $280–290 million versus $130 million in 2025, though its Q2 operating loss widened to $337.2 million from $160.6 million, and the Elisity deal involves stock valued at up to $1.3 billion. The author judges IonQ the better investment given its consistent revenue growth, says they bought IonQ shares, and notes Rigetti's price-to-sales ratio is more than six times IonQ's.
