Tesla stock leaves rest of the Magnificent 7 in the dust, surging to October’s top spot

For most of 2026, Tesla has been the Magnificent 7's minivan. In October, it's the only one leaving skid marks. Tesla (TSLA) stock is up about 6% Monday, on track for its best day since early July and its highest close in about three months. Most of Big Tech is idling, with Apple (AAPL) slipping and Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta (META) barely moving. (TSLA ) Go deeper with AlphaSpace 396.30 +24.08 (+6.47%) As of 1:24:36 PM EDT. Market Open. That leaves Tesla with two very different report cards. It's still down by double digits this year, the worst showing in the Magnificent 7. But it's up by double digits in October, the best in the group, while Meta, Alphabet, and Nvidia (NVDA) are all lower for the month.
