Tesla shares closed at $403.30 on October 29, 2026, following a roughly 13% rally over the prior month driven by speculation around a potential SpaceX merger, a Barclays upgrade raising the price target to $450, and rising Full Self-Driving adoption. Third-quarter results released October 21 showed flat revenue of $28.05 billion but a 43% drop in GAAP net income to $787 million, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.48 beating estimates amid higher capex and lower automotive margins. Energy storage deployments reached 13.7 GWh while free cash flow turned positive at $1.53 billion. With the October 31 close imminent, trader positioning reflects these near-term catalysts alongside broader EV sector and macroeconomic influences on risk appetite.
