Tesla sold 67,829 Model 3 and Model Y cars built in China in October, up 10.3% year over year, according to the China Passenger Car Association. That was an improvement on the 5% rise in September and the 12th straight month of annual growth, though October volume was 28.9% below September's 95,366 vehicles, the factory's best month of 2026. The figures include exports: in the first nine months of 2026, domestic deliveries fell 11.9% to 381,088 while exports more than doubled to 361,972, helped by better registrations in several European countries and South Korea. Industry data put nationwide new-energy passenger car wholesale at about 1.8 million in October, up 12%, so Tesla's growth lagged the market, though its domestic market share has not visibly shifted. The October breakdown of domestic deliveries and exports is the next key data point.

- Tesla's Elon Musk Might Have Gone Back on His Word, but It's Working in China
Tesla once pledged to build affordable Model 3 and Y versions at Giga Shanghai for China, but plans changed amid fast-developing local rivals and a brutal price war. In the first three quarters of 2026, Tesla sold 381,088 vehicles in China, down nearly 12% and its weakest domestic retail performance in four years. Exports from Giga Shanghai more than doubled to 361,972 vehicles, rising 20 percentage points to 49% of wholesale and lifting total China wholesale volume nearly 23% to 743,060 vehicles. From April 1, 2027, China's export rebate on new energy vehicles will fall from 13% to 9%, making each Tesla export about 4% less valuable to the company.

- 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.
- Why China is desperate to ship cars outside of the country
At a Beijing dealership, salesman Li Ke said this autumn's peak car-buying season, known as 'golden September and silver October', has been the slowest of his 26 years on the job apart from the Covid-19 pandemic, with only two to three deals a week now. Buyers are holding back amid an unstable job market, a continued slide in property prices and the government's scaling back of incentives such as cash-for-clunkers subsidies and EV tax breaks. Passenger car retail sales in China reached 13.33 million units through September, down 21.7% from a year earlier, and the China Passenger Car Association expects full-year 2026 sales to fall 22% to 18.5 million vehicles. New-energy vehicle sales fell 12.8% from January through September, while fierce price wars have pushed Chinese carmakers to look overseas; auto manufacturing profits shrank 22.8% in the first nine months, even as overall industrial profits rose 15.5%.

- Options traders are betting heavily on these stocks ahead of election results
As prediction markets priced in a big Democratic win in Tuesday's midterm elections, options traders piled into clean-energy stocks, especially solar companies, even though the group has sold off for five months and most are down on the year. Volume in the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) hit 40 times its usual level, with 99% of the more than 20,000 contracts traded by midday being calls, according to Cboe LiveVol data. Among individual stocks, SolarEdge Technologies traded at three times its average volume, with over 75% of trading in calls, ahead of its earnings report due before the bell tomorrow. Enphase Energy, which fell 20% after earnings last week but has since fully recovered, rose 9% on Tuesday, with volume twice average and an estimated 8,600 calls versus under 900 puts.
- CFTC Lets Traders Bet on Stocks With Crypto-Style Perpetual Futures
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said equity perpetual futures, contracts tied to individual stocks with no expiration date, can now trade on CFTC-registered U.S. exchanges for the first time. These leveraged instruments have long been popular in crypto markets but were largely unavailable to U.S. traders until now. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig framed the move as part of a push to bring perpetual products onshore, following the agency's earlier clearance of Bitcoin perpetual futures for Kalshi this year. The stock contracts fall under joint CFTC and SEC oversight under a memorandum of understanding signed in March. Selig argued that regulated U.S. venues offer protections that offshore, often unregulated platforms lack.
- Would you let AI chatbots smear your competitors?
Speakers in this discussion examine how companies are finding ways to get AI chatbots to disparage their competitors. They note that as users shift from Google Search to chatbots, firms including financial advisers are trying to optimize their messaging so chatbots surface them, a practice called GEO as the counterpart to SEO. The panel argues that using chatbots to trash rivals could backfire on a company's reputation and turn an answer into an ad rather than an objective search result. They also warn that many users accept chatbot answers verbatim, unlike traditional search results that display multiple source links.
- Where Will Boeing Stock Be by This Time Next Year?
Boeing's backlog stands at $745 billion, including $612 billion in commercial airplanes, which the author sees as support for long-term income. Two 2027 catalysts are highlighted: a 737 MAX production ramp to 52 a month in the second half of the year, and certification and first delivery of the 777-9 variant of the 777X, a program delayed since 2020 that has tied up cash. Management expects 52 a month in the second half of 2027 and deliveries in the "mid-to-high 50s" in 2029. The author says these are reasonable assumptions though not guaranteed, and that certification would de-risk the program. The author concludes Boeing's stock could be materially higher next year.
- Eaton Just Dropped 16% in a Month. Is It Time to Sell, or Load Up?
Eaton (ETN) fell 16% over the past month, alongside GE Vernova (down 13%) and Vertiv (down 11%), after Meta Platforms raised the low end of its 2026 capital spending range to $135-$145 billion and turned free cash flow negative, raising investor concern about how the spending will be funded. Eaton's third-quarter report showed record sales of $8.9 billion, up 28%, and raised its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $13.70-$13.80. At Monday's close, the stock traded at 24x forward earnings, slightly below its five-year average of 25x and well under the 33x it reached in April. The author sees demand still accelerating and views the drop as a possible investment opportunity, while noting that hyperscaler spending updates are what to watch next.
- Sullivan: What the 2026 midterms could mean for energy investors
The author expects only limited near-term moves in energy stocks after the midterm elections, with investment implications mainly over the longer term. Even if Democrats win one or both chambers of Congress, the change is unlikely to meaningfully alter policy, though S&P Global says it could bring tougher oversight of agency decisions and affect tax incentives for long-term energy investments. At the state level, Gina Hinojosa in Texas supports a moratorium on new data center builds, Amy Acton in Ohio backs a conditional moratorium, and Vivek Ramaswamy calls for conditions on new construction. Bank of America says Georgia, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas matter most for utility stocks, with Texas the most consequential after state environmental regulators halted data center permits. Power demand would likely stay at current levels even if some large projects are stalled or stopped, and U.S. oil production is at a record high.
