# Tesla: quarterly deliveries, loss and profit decline

> At the end of October 2026, Tesla announced more than 486,000 deliveries for the quarter and reduced its investment plan to preserve cash, while refocusing its strategy on AI and energy. Wall Street analysts then estimated that the stock still had upside potential ahead of the Cybercab event. In early November, the automaker published a quarterly loss higher than expected and missed its production targets, causing its stock to fall below $300. A few hours later, Tesla saw its profit decline by 56%, multiplied price cuts in China, and is still awaiting the rollout of its autonomous driving functions in the country.
