Ford Motor (F) shares broke out to prices not seen in over a year. F stock gained 15.2% after posting Q3 results.
In the last quarter, Ford earned $0.45 a share. Revenue increased by 9.6% Y/Y to $47.19 billion. Although it has a Novelis-related 2025 adjusted EBIT headwind in the range of $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion, tariff-related costs are manageable. CEO Jim Farley said on the conference call that credit from its large U.S. manufacturing volume will offset tariffs.
Ford also made progress with its EV platform. It is 95% complete on sourcing and is testing vehicles.
Coinbase (COIN) added 9.82% last Friday to close at $354.46. JPMorgan upgraded the cryptocurrency exchange to Overweight, up from Neutral. It cited a base token and USD Coin (USDC-USD) payout system as a catalyst.
Customers may take advantage of Coinbase’s USDC interest rate. They also get immediate access as transactions settle.
Albemarle (ALB) broke out last week, adding 13.91% to close at $105.64. The lithium miner bottomed in April and is now up nearly 115% from a 52-week low. Short sellers hold an 11.76% short float on ALB stock. The company will post Q3 2025 results on Wednesday, November 5.
Albemarle benefited from miners in China temporarily closing. This cut in lithium supply should help strengthen prices.
