Tesla and General Motors dominate this week's earnings calendar. Tesla reports Q3 results on Tuesday 21 October. GM posts on Monday 20 October. Both carry unusual weight from ORTEX alt data. German car registrations, which lead Tesla revenue by 43 days, are running 269% above the same quarter last year across all three months. The same dataset leads GM revenue by 15 days and points 133% higher year-on-year. Netflix also reports Monday, with subscriber and advertising revenue the key figures to watch.
Chewy is the sharpest short interest move of the week. Short interest hit 91.3% of free float on 15 October, up from 66.0% seven days earlier. That 25-point jump in a week is extreme. Days to cover stands at 3.3, raising the risk of a squeeze if the stock catches a bid.
Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks both received analyst upgrades today. Applied Materials also gained a buy. Utilities moved the opposite way. Southern Company and Ameren were both downgraded, as rising rate expectations weigh on yield-sensitive names.
The MSCI World November ranking cut-off falls tomorrow. Fabrinet swung to a coin-flip deletion overnight, with $826M of forced selling at stake. Xero carries a 73% deletion probability, and Zalando sits at 54%. In the real economy, European battery-electric car registrations rose 40% year-on-year in September to 32,458 vehicles, while Malaysia set a new monthly record of 74,122 total car registrations, with EV volumes up 69%.
