Our take on the names in focus this week. Opinion only, built on reported figures.
Palantir reports Q3 results today, November 2. In Q2 it grew revenue 93% to $1.935B, with US commercial revenue up 149%, and lifted full-year revenue guidance to about $8.15B. It guided Q3 revenue to roughly $2.16B. The stock had fallen about 40% from its late-2025 peak before the Q2 report, then jumped over 12% on the numbers.
Our take: operations aren't the question; expectations are. After a run of beats, a guide-raise may be needed just to hold the shares.
Updated · November 2, 2026 · Read more ↗ EVs & Energy · TSLAQ3 deliveries of 486,532 beat the 461,974 company-compiled consensus, though still 2% below last year's record. Q3 revenue of $28.05B was flat year on year, GAAP net income fell about 43% to $787M and operating margin was 2.6%. Free cash flow was $1.53B. Energy storage deployments of 13.7 GWh missed the 15.9 GWh consensus.
Our take: the car business looks stable but not growing. The valuation case still rests on robotaxi and AI progress, not near-term earnings.

Our take: beats have become routine, so the market will focus on guidance and signs that AI spending stays broad-based.
