- SpaceX or Tesla: If I Could Buy and Hold Only 1 Elon Musk Stock Through 2030, It Would be This One
The article argues Tesla's future depends on unproven ambitions in AI, robotaxi and the Optimus robot, while its third-quarter revenue was flat at $28 billion, deliveries fell 2% to 486,532 units and GAAP net income dropped 43% to $787 million. SpaceX, by contrast, reported Q3 revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year over year, with its Super Intelligence segment, covering AI infrastructure and software, contributing about $7.6 billion through compute agreements with Anthropic and Alphabet.

- Tesla Has a Flying Car. What Does This Mean for Archer's Flying "Taxi" Business?
A video showed a Tesla Roadster briefly launching into the air with side thrusters, then flipping upright before landing. The author argues it is not a direct competitor to Archer Aviation: the Roadster is a sports car that carries only one person and is not approved for road use, while Archer's eVTOL is designed to carry four passengers and a pilot and take off and land vertically like a helicopter. Archer has completed three of the FAA's four type-certification phases and is working through the final one. The author views Tesla's demonstration as impressive but mainly a spectacle, whereas Archer's eVTOL could ease traffic in some areas. The author believes the attention on flying cars could even help Archer's air taxi service once its eVTOL is certified.
- Rivian Climbs 4% as UBS Upgrade Bets on R2 Ramp; Lucid and Tesla Edge Higher
UBS upgraded Rivian to Buy from Neutral and kept its $17 price target, calling the recent selloff a buying opportunity ahead of an inflection in R2 ramp and automotive gross margins. Rivian shares rose 4% to $12.59 but are still down 36% year to date. Its Q3 2026 report, disclosed on October 29, showed revenue up 38.3% year over year to $2.155 billion and an adjusted loss of $0.48 per share narrower than expected, while full-year guidance was raised and deliveries are now seen at 67,000 to 70,000 vehicles. However, the automotive business still posted an $80 million gross loss, and $81 million in regulatory credits supported the quarter. Lucid, at $3.06, is down 71% YTD, while Tesla trades at $402.50.
- Tesla Has Best Norway October as Chinese Brands Hit Record
Tesla registrations rose 248% in Sweden, 131% in Norway and 34% in Denmark in October, according to national registration data compiled by Reuters. In Norway, Tesla had its best October on record and was the top-selling brand with a 9.8% market share, while Chinese brands took a record 22.5% of new passenger car registrations. In Denmark, Tesla held a 0.73% share, behind BYD, Leapmotor, Xpeng and SAIC-owned MG, which each held between 1.6% and 5.5%. The article credits easier year-ago comparisons, higher fuel prices, government incentives and growing EV demand, and analyst Felipe Munoz said Northern Europe is open to new players offering efficient EVs. Tesla relies heavily on the Model 3 and Model Y against rivals with broader lineups, though it said it ended the third quarter with its largest order backlog in four years.

AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion.

- Dow Jones futures surge 1,000 points after Democratic win, Trump makes surprising new move
Dow Jones futures jumped as much as 1,083 points, or 2.1%, after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate in the midterm elections and took several key governorships, including Texas. The result could curb President Trump's policies, which combined business tax cuts with tariffs and the war in Iran, contributing to higher inflation. S&P 500 futures rose 1.1%, while Nasdaq-100 gained only 0.4% as AI-linked stocks came under pressure. Trump told the New York Times he was “fully prepared” to accept the results and said he and Republican lawmakers would work with Democrats, while Walmart rose 2%, Bank of America 1.9%, UnitedHealth 1.4% and Molina Healthcare 6.3%. Investors remain wary of possible restrictions on data center construction, as Gina Hinojosa, who pledged to pause new data center projects, won the Texas governor's race.
- What i-80 Gold (IAU) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
i-80 Gold said the feasibility study for Granite Creek Underground is complete, outlining an 8.5-year mine life, while Archimedes is set to begin mining in Q4 2026. The Lone Tree refurbishment is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2027, with its $430 million capital estimate largely intact. The company expects production to rise from 40,000–50,000 ounces annually to 150,000–200,000 ounces from 2028, with 2026 output in the lower half of guidance. In Q3, Granite Creek produced about 9,100 ounces of gold, though processing lagged mining due to limited availability at a third-party processor. At quarter-end, the company held about $411 million in cash and could access up to roughly $350 million in additional liquidity over the next 18 months, subject to financing arrangements and approvals.

- AI data center stocks dip as midterm elections shake up Wall Street
CNBC cited $173 million in General Election data center advertising, almost all negative, with $140 million from Democratic advertisers. An NBC exit poll found 56% of voters called AI and data centers a crucial or major factor in their vote. In Texas, Hinojosa defeated Abbott, and her platform includes a moratorium or new requirements for data centers in a state expected to account for a quarter of capacity by 2030. Panelists said investors are wary, pushing down neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave and Applied Digital, along with Tesla and SpaceX, while hyperscalers were holding up better. They also noted that public opposition to nearby data centers over noise, gas turbines, fumes and water use had grown.
- Tesla (TSLA) Shares Underperform as Record Q2 Revenue Is Overshadowed by Margin Pressure
Polen Capital's 5Perspectives Large Growth Composite returned 0.0% in Q3 2026, trailing the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 0.9%, as volatility hit AI stocks amid concerns over hyperscaler capex and crowded trades. The firm views the pullback as a necessary reset rather than a deterioration in fundamentals and is gradually shifting toward companies applying AI to boost productivity. On Tesla, shares underperformed after second-quarter results, when record revenue was overshadowed by margin pressure and a sharp rise in capital spending for AI and robotics. Tesla closed at $398.50 on November 3, 2026, with a $1.58 trillion market cap; shares rose 5.48% over the past month but are down 13.76% over 52 weeks. The number of hedge fund portfolios holding Tesla fell to 123 at the end of Q1 from 137 the previous quarter.
