BYD sold 463,561 vehicles globally in September, up roughly 17% year over year, while overseas shipments of passenger vehicles and pickups soared roughly 154%, reaching 179,877 according to Reuters. In the third quarter, domestic sales fell roughly 12.4% while global sales grew 18.8% to more than 1.32 million, and overseas shipments made up roughly 39% of total vehicle sales. Third-quarter revenue rose 13.6% to roughly 221.5 billion yuan and net profit attributable to shareholders climbed 28.1% to roughly 10 billion yuan, though these are company-wide results. Inventory rose roughly 60% and trade receivables roughly 53% from the end of 2025 through September, which the company mainly attributed to its growing overseas business, so the article stresses watching whether those sales turn into cash.

- BYD or Tesla: Which Is a Better Stock?
The article compares BYD, which is expanding its proven EV manufacturing model overseas, with Tesla, which is shifting toward robotaxis, robots, energy storage and AI. BYD's overseas revenue reached RMB181.3 billion in the first half of 2026, about 53% of total revenue, and its August overseas shipments rose 134.5% while domestic sales fell 14.3%. Yet its first-half revenue fell 7.1% and net profit dropped 20.5%. Tesla's car business still produced 73% of its $28.2 billion Q2 2026 revenue, but it plans more than $25 billion of capex this year, and its price-to-sales ratio of 12.4 compares with BYD's 1.3. The author concludes there is no simple answer: BYD suits investors who prioritise current earnings and valuation, while Tesla suits those willing to pay for transformational new businesses.
- Tesla China EV Rivals BYD, Xiaomi, XPeng Report Strong Sales As Year-End Push Begins
- Rushed to market without full testing, Chinese cars are reined in by regulators
China's regulator has issued a draft tightening control over innovative vehicle design and test validation, after some automakers rushed out new products with incomplete testing. Hà Chí Kỳ, executive deputy general manager of BYD, said the domestic market received 542 new models in the first five months of 2026, an average of 3.6 per day. The draft requires reliability testing of at least 30,000 km and environmental adaptation cycles of no less than one year covering two winters and a summer, and bans fully hidden door handles, foldable and flexible screens, and seats that convert to beds while the car is moving. Products that are not declared as required or are insufficiently validated will not be approved. Public comments are open until 10 November 2026, with the rules expected to take effect on 1 January 2027 for new products, while existing models in the catalogue must submit supplementary filings before 1 July 2027.
- Can Tesla Sustain China EV Sales Growth Amid Competition?
Tesla's September 2026 shipments of China-built Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, including exports, rose 5% year over year to 95,366 units, extending its growth streak to 11 months, according to the China Passenger Car Association. Shanghai-built EV sales rose 13.7% in the third quarter, though Tesla's global deliveries fell 2.1% from a record 2025 quarter. Tesla ranked sixth among China's new energy vehicle makers, behind BYD with 233,943 units, and is offering final payment discounts through October of 7,000 yuan on selected Model Y variants and 5,000 yuan on Model 3, which may weigh on margins. Rivals are also growing: NIO delivered 37,408 vehicles, up 7.7%, while BYD sold 463,561 new energy vehicles, up 17%, with exports up 153.9%.
- Tesla's China Problem Gets Harder to Ignore
BYD sold 490,168 new energy vehicles in October, up 11% year on year, and its overseas sales jumped 102.8% to 170,194 vehicles. Xiaomi delivered more than 50,000 vehicles and XPeng delivered 50,237, up 19.6% year on year, with both posting record or near-record results. Tesla's retail sales in China fell 11.9% in the first nine months of 2026 to 381,088 vehicles, and its global third-quarter deliveries dropped 2% to 486,532. Tesla has relied more on exports from its Shanghai factory, which rose 115% from January through August and made up about 51% of its China wholesale sales. BYD overtook Tesla as the world's largest EV seller in 2025, with 2.26 million vehicles against Tesla's 1.64 million.

Rivian Automotive (RIVN) closed up 8.47% at $13.19 on Nov. 2, with trading volume of 64.3 million shares, about 165% above its three-month average of 24.3 million. UBS upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral/Hold, kept its $17 target, and said the recent sell-off was overdone ahead of the R2 ramp, also expecting solid early R2 demand and a positive automotive gross margin percentage as Rivian exits 2026. Rivian's third-quarter revenue rose 38% year over year to $2.2 billion, with gross profit of $176 million, up $152 million, and the budget R2 became its best-selling vehicle by volume in the quarter. Its Volkswagen joint venture received a $1 billion term loan in October. The same day, the S&P 500 fell 0.50% to 7,542 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.07% to 25,164, while Rivian has fallen 87% since its 2021 IPO.
- Apple posts stronger-than-expected Q4 revenue in first earnings report for new CEO John Ternus
Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue above expectations, giving new CEO John Ternus, whose tenure began in September, a positive start, while several tech peers including Alphabet, Amazon and Intel posted disappointing results. The company earned $30.71 billion, or $2.10 per share, in the July–September period, up 12% from $27.47 billion, or $1.85 per share, a year earlier, including 5 cents per share from tariff refunds. Revenue rose 12% to $114.5 billion from $102.5 billion, beating analysts' average forecast of $1.99 per share on $113.4 billion in revenue, according to FactSet. Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said record iPhone revenue and strong growth in China show the resilience of Apple's business, and that its cautious approach to AI infrastructure spending helps preserve cash flow, while partnerships with Alphabet could strengthen its AI capabilities without the same financial risks as peers. Shares were flat in after-hours trading, after closing down 1.8% at $338.32 in regular trading.
- Why Franklin Electric Stock Raced 5% Higher on Monday
Franklin Electric (FELE) shares rose more than 5% on Monday after DA Davidson analyst Matt Summerville upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral and raised his price target to $135 from $105. Summerville pointed to the company's growing exposure to high-growth areas, including new products for data center infrastructure and critical minerals, and said its distribution business could lift segment margins and revenue growth. He also highlighted Franklin's relatively clean balance sheet. The author agrees the company is an under-the-radar beneficiary of hot industries, but notes that its core markets, which make up most of its business, remain vulnerable to rising interest rates and construction-industry downcycles.
- Micron Technology: Is This a Sign That Its Stock Has Already Peaked?
Micron Technology (MU) shares fell 5.78%, after an earlier rally driven by strong memory demand and the company's ability to raise prices; the stock crossed a $1 trillion market cap earlier this year but now trades near $940 billion. Its 30-day average trading volume has fallen significantly since peaking around late June, which the author cites as a sign that interest in the stock has faded. The stock's earnings multiple of 11 looks low, but the author argues it is skewed by very strong recent results, and that more supply could come online sooner than expected. With the stock up more than 1,000% over five years, some investors may simply want to cash out before it's too late, and the author says he would not buy Micron at this stage given the risks of cyclical stocks.
- Apple Q4 earnings call: Ternus breaks down 'excellent quarter'
Apple CEO John Ternus said total company revenue set records for the September quarter and the full fiscal year. iPhone revenue reached $57.6 billion, up 17% from a year earlier despite supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds, marking a September-quarter record and the company's best fiscal year ever for iPhone. Services, Apple's second-largest segment, posted an all-time record in the quarter and closed out its best year ever. Apple grew in most of the markets it tracks, setting September-quarter records in the Americas, Europe, Greater China and the rest of Asia Pacific, along with an all-time record in India, and it also set a record for upgraders worldwide.
- Why Wingstop Stock Keeps Going Up
Wingstop shares (WING) rose nearly 9% on Monday, extending their post-earnings gains after the company reported third-quarter results on Oct. 28. Revenue rose 5.3% year over year to $185 million on new store openings, with 76 net new stores bringing the total to 3,331 locations as of Sept. 26, including 2,787 in the U.S. and 544 franchised international locations. However, domestic same-store sales fell 5.4% as consumers pulled back on dining out amid rising gas prices and other costs, and the company lowered its full-year same-store sales forecast to a decline of 6.5% to 7%. Adjusted net income was $29.3 million, or $1.08 per share, above Wall Street's estimate of $1.02. CEO Michael Skipworth said the Club Wingstop loyalty program is helping to draw guests back, and the company plans to open as many as 450 net stores in 2026 while working toward more than 10,000 restaurants globally.
