Dear Reader,
We were somewhere in Delaware, stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic...
Miles from the next rest stop, my 5-year-old son suddenly howled that he had to go.
I veered off at the next exit, pulled into a shopping mall, and unbuckled his car seat as quickly as I could...
But on our sprint to the restroom, something stopped me in my tracks.
It was a robot.
Not just any robot - it was Elon Musk's Optimus.
For months, the financial research firm I work for has been tracking Optimus' development behind closed doors.
Elon has called it "the biggest product of all time."
But we believe the implications for investors could be even bigger.
In fact, there's one stock (not Tesla) that should be on every investor's radar right now.
Months ago, we predicted:
"It won't be long before Tesla's new product is everywhere - on sale in showrooms across America and around the world."
And now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I'm convinced the rollout is happening faster and at a bigger scale than anyone's prepared for.
One of our top stock experts - whose team has briefed the FBI, the Pentagon, and Fortune 500 CIOs - says the tech behind Optimus could trigger one of the most profound wealth transfers of our lifetime.
To understand exactly what’s happening... and get the name of the stock he recommends you buy for free today... I strongly urge you to watch this urgent presentation now:
Sincerely,
Kelly Brown
Managing Director
P.S. I wasn't expecting to see Optimus in person, but now that I have... I get it. It's a 5'8", 125-pound humanoid robot that can carry 45 pounds while walking at 5 miles per hour - perfect for factory work. Musk believes we'll eventually see 10 billion of them in circulation. Why? Because once this rollout begins, every business that makes something will want one. This could spark a financial story even bigger than anything you’ve seen from Tesla and Elon.

Could Tesla's Q4 Earnings Fuel the Next Rally?
By Sam Quirke. Publication Date: 1/29/2026.
Key Points
- Tesla's Q4 earnings report removed a key source of uncertainty, allowing the market to refocus on the company’s growth potential.
- The fundamentals were good enough to keep the long-term story intact, though near-term challenges remain.
- With shares already trading higher, the setup now favors further gains into the rest of Q1.
Electric vehicle leader Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) looks set for fresh gains after its Q4 earnings report eased concerns that the company's best days were behind it. With that major source of uncertainty removed, bulls have the ammunition to push this rally higher.
Shares of TSLA have been in a multi-month uptrend that began last April. In recent weeks the stock traded more softly as questions mounted about management's ability to pivot the company's focus and sustain its revenue engines. Those worries appear to have abated following the Jan. 28 report.
Buffett's Parting Gift to Berkshire Hathaway? (Ad)
The biggest tech investors have unloaded their top AI investments. Peter Thiel's fund dumped its entire $100 million Nvidia stake. SoftBank unloaded its entire $5.8 billion position. Perhaps the biggest signal is Berkshire Hathaway sitting on $382 billion in cash, more than Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple combined. Was this Warren Buffett's parting gift before stepping down? Four unstoppable market forces could upend the economy in the coming weeks. Any one could be devastating alone, but four at the same time would wreak havoc. The last time this played out was over 50 years ago, leading to a lost decade for stocks.
Watch the interview revealing these four market forces.Tesla was already trading higher in Thursday's pre-market session, an early sign the market viewed the report favorably. Let's take a closer look at the details and what they could mean for Tesla over the rest of the quarter.
Impressive Fundamentals & Diversification
At a headline level, Tesla delivered a solid beat on expectations, helping reset sentiment. More important than any single metric, however, was the company's longer-term outlook. Management struck a confident tone around initiatives such as its Cybercab ambitions and the continued rollout of robotaxi services.
That optimism was balanced with realism: Tesla acknowledged that competition in Europe and China is intensifying, and that pressure is showing up in its core automotive business. Total automotive revenue declined year‑over‑year, reflecting softer demand and pricing pressure in key markets.
The market, however, has consistently shown it will look beyond falling delivery numbers and contracting auto revenue if Tesla can demonstrate progress elsewhere—and on that front the report delivered.
Revenue from energy generation and storage rose about 25%, helping offset weakness in the auto segment. Gross margin also improved, reflecting Tesla's continued cost discipline.
Combine those gains with confirmation that the robotaxi fleet is being expanded, and the broader takeaway becomes clear: Tesla is shifting from treating the auto market as its only growth avenue and is actively building alternative revenue engines that are starting to show tangible progress.
Analysts Are Leaning Into the Upside
Though analyst commentary was divided ahead of earnings, the post-earnings response looks more one-sided. RBC Capital and Roth Capital, to name two, reiterated Buy or equivalent ratings on Tesla shares, with price targets reaching as high as $500.
With the stock trading around $430, those targets imply roughly 15% of upside that could be captured if momentum continues.
Tesla still faces challenges, but it appears to have enough control and visibility to preserve its long-term thesis. Analysts remain optimistic that autonomy, energy, and software-driven revenue streams could reshape Tesla's earnings profile over time—provided the company continues to execute amid a choppy macro backdrop.
Risks Still Exist, But the Market Is Looking Past Them
That said, this is still Tesla, and it carries risk. Its valuation remains elevated, and the margin for error is thin. As noted above, competition is intensifying, and geopolitical tensions have cooled the market's appetite for risk. Any slip in guidance in the months ahead could quickly erode the goodwill generated by the latest report.
For now, the path of least resistance points higher. Shares traded up in the pre-market session the day after the report, an encouraging signal that can be read as Wall Street's provisional seal of approval. The next phase of the rally into February will be closely watched for signs of sustained momentum, with December's all‑time high near $500 back in focus. Tesla appears to have done enough to justify at least a retest of that level in the weeks ahead.
