🚙 Tesla Q3 preview: Robotaxi, AI ambitions on the agenda following high-water mark in sales

Tesla (TSLA) stock went on a tear to end the third quarter, erasing early 2025 losses as investors bet on the firm’s AI-related ambitions.

A strong sales quarter and a detente between CEO Elon Musk and former BFF President Trump also helped, but the question remains whether Tesla’s sky-high valuation will continue to defy gravity.

Tesla’s Q3 earnings report, slated for release on Wednesday after the bell, comes with the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq (^IXIC) within striking distance of new highs.

The broader market has shaken off Trump’s unpredictable tariff war, though fears of an economic slowdown in the US persist.

Plus, auto sector tariffs of 25% on imported cars and parts are still in place, hurting domestic automakers.

The focus for Tesla is on what happens as a result of the expiration of the federal EV tax credit and the company’s robotaxi ambitions. Yahoo Finance reports.


🥩 Why Beyond Meat stock is up about 600% in 3 days

Beyond Meat (BYND) is having another meme-stock moment, despite the fundamentals of its business being less than as sizzling as a plant-based burger right off the grill.

Shares of the struggling faux-meat maker have gained close to 600% in the past three trading sessions.

Gains look poised to continue on Wednesday, with shares up as much as 133% in premarket trading.

During that stretch, the company's ticker page has been among the most active on the Yahoo Finance platform.

There appear to be two catalysts behind the surge. First: On Tuesday, Beyond Meat said its "Beyond Burger 6-pack" and Beyond Chicken Pieces" will be available at 2,000 Walmart (WMT) stores across the US.

Second: On Monday the stock was added to the Roundhill Meme Stock ETF (MEME). Yahoo Finance reports.

The company said it’s still moving toward the previously announced separation in the meantime. CNBC reports.


🛒 You’ll soon be able to shop Walmart’s catalog on ChatGPT

Walmart is partnering with OpenAI to let users browse and make purchases directly through its popular chatbot ChatGPT, as the world’s largest retailer looks to use AI to leapfrog rival Amazon in online shopping.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said in an announcement Tuesday that the retailer’s current online shopping experience consists of a “search bar and a long list of item responses.”

That is about to change, he said, thanks to AI’s ability to provide a multimedia experience with more personalized answers.

A Walmart spokesperson told CNN that the feature will launch in the fall, offering an extensive list of Walmart items as well clothing, entertainment and food from third-party sellers.

Items from Sam’s Club’s catalog will launch soon after. CNN reports.
