- 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%.
- BYD Has a Big Problem at Home but Its Overseas Business Is Picking Up the Slack
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.
- 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.
- How Tesla Blundered
The analysis argues Tesla missed an EV 'iPhone moment': it had 79% of US electric car sales in 2020, but deliveries slid from 1.81 million in 2023 to 1.79 million in 2024 and 1.64 million in 2025. A roughly $25,000 model was shelved in April 2024, and the cheaper versions launched in October 2025 cost $37,000 to $40,000, with 98% of last quarter's 486,532 deliveries still Model 3 or Model Y. Tesla's 1.74 million active FSD subscriptions in Q3 2026 equal fewer than 1 in 170 of America's roughly 298 million registered vehicles. The article also cites BYD's 2.26 million EV sales last year, the end of the $7,500 US tax credit in September 2025, and a buyer backlash over Musk's politics. Tesla still sells 54% of America's electric cars, the article notes.
- Elon Musk Sees ‘Almost All Cars’ Going Electric as Gasoline-Only Vehicles Fall Below Half of Global Sales
Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed optimism that almost all future cars will be electric, after gasoline-only vehicles fell below 50% of global new-vehicle sales for the first time. According to Mobility Global data reported by Nikkei, pure gasoline cars made up 49% of sales from January to June 2026, down 3 percentage points, while EVs accounted for 17%; gasoline-only share had been 73% in 2021. Mobility Global forecasts EVs will exceed 30% of total vehicle production by 2030, overtaking hybrids and conventional engine vehicles. On Kalshi, bettors price a 45% chance that EVs top 30% market share by 2030 and a 24% chance they account for half of car sales. BYD surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV maker for full-year 2025, though the two trade the quarterly top spot back and forth.
- 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.

- AI poses greater threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing, Swan founder says
Swan Bitcoin founder Cory Klippsten argues that AI, specifically large language models that hackers use to probe security weaknesses, is a more immediate threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing. He estimates that quantum computers capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography are at least a decade away, and says the network could add quantum-resistant protections if the threat becomes credible, though rushing them now would add unnecessary complexity. He also suggests some crypto startups and investors have used quantum fears to attract funding. The comments come as Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin suspended deposits and withdrawals on Monday after a security incident, with researchers estimating more than $46 million left its wallets, and days after Binance lost $6.3 billion in an Oct. 29 hack that the FBI attributed to North Korean hackers.
- Despite Apple's earnings beat, Wall Street has a big 'concern' about next quarter
Gil said the just-reported quarter looks good, but investors will focus on guidance for the next quarter. He noted this may be the last quarter of the iPhone upgrade cycle, which he called the biggest in five years, so unit sales could decline even though Apple raised prices to offset this. He also warned that memory chips bought at lower prices earlier may pressure gross margins as costs rise. Gil said the Duo, priced at $2,000, was likely at the low end of the prices considered, and is seen as the first big hardware launch under CEO John Turnus.
- Amazon vs. Alibaba: Two E-Commerce Giants, a Big Valuation Gap, but Which Offers More Upside in 2027?
In FY 2025, Amazon reported revenue of $716.9 billion, up 12.4%, and net income of $77.7 billion, with AWS sales up 20%, while free cash flow fell to $11.2 billion from $38.2 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Alibaba's FY 2026 revenue was $148.4 billion, up 2.7% (about 11% excluding businesses sold during the year), net income was $14.8 billion, down about 19%, and free cash flow was negative $6.8 billion. On valuation, Alibaba trades at 14.8 times forward earnings and 1.6 times sales, versus 18.7 times and 3.3 times for Amazon. The article outlines Alibaba's risks from competition, regulation and geopolitical tensions, and Amazon's from competition, antitrust scrutiny and data privacy. The author argues Amazon's higher valuation appears justified by its stronger financial performance.
- Apple's Q4 earnings results beat estimates, including iPhone sales
Apple reported fourth-quarter results after the close on Monday, with EPS of $2.10 versus analyst estimates of $2.00. Revenue came in at $114.48 billion, above the $113.47 billion expected, and iPhone revenue reached $57.58 billion versus estimates of $56.49 billion.

- Advanced Energy Doubles Its Operating Margin: Rapid Earnings Reaction
Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS) grew third-quarter revenue 50% to about $696 million, more than doubled GAAP EPS to $2.80, and shares rose about 10% in early after-hours trading. GAAP operating margin rose to 20.6% from 10.6% a year earlier, as operating expenses rose only 17%, and semiconductor equipment revenue reached $322 million, up 64%. Data center computing revenue rose 49%, and both growth drivers depend on AI spending, which makes the growth concentrated. Inventory has jumped 57% since December as the company builds for demand and ramps its Thailand factory, and operating cash flow covered only a little more than half of net income this quarter. Fourth-quarter revenue guidance is $710 million to $760 million.
