Tesla Motors (TSLA) ranked first in Tuesday's U.S. stock trading volume, closing up 1.29% with $27.588 billion in turnover. The Shanghai Gigafactory celebrated its 4 millionth vehicle rollout. Data shows Tesla delivered 86,700 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles from the Shanghai plant in November, up 10% YoY and 40% MoM.
Accounting for half of Tesla's global capacity, the Shanghai factory serves as its export hub, supplying not only mainland China but also European and Asia-Pacific markets. In October 2025, it exported over 35,000 vehicles—a two-year monthly record.
NVIDIA (NVDA) slipped 0.31% with $26.286 billion traded. While approved to sell H200 AI chips to Chinese "approved customers" at a 25% premium, reports suggest domestic access restrictions may cloud demand prospects.
Alphabet (GOOGL) rose 1.07% ($9.402B) amid an EU antitrust probe into whether its AI features like "Overviews" and YouTube training unfairly used publisher/creator content without proper compensation. Analysts warn of potential hefty fines.
Meta Platforms (META) fell 1.48% ($7.985B). Sources indicate its new LLM "Avocado" may launch in Q1 2026 to rival OpenAI and Google. Earlier reports suggested Meta considered deprioritizing its Llama models in favor of competitors' offerings.
Microsoft (MSFT) edged up 0.20% ($6.918B), unveiling a $23B AI investment push to challenge Amazon and Google. CEO Satya Nadella confirmed $17.5B will fund AI infrastructure in India—its largest Asian investment.

Strategy (MSTR) jumped 2.89% ($4.57B). JPMorgan noted its price already reflects potential MSCI exclusion risks, which could instead become a catalyst. MSCI proposes removing firms holding ≥50% digital assets (e.g., Bitcoin) from its indices after a consultation ending Dec 31.
Strategy CEO Phong Le confirmed engagement with MSCI, while Chair Michael Saylor acknowledged discussions about possible exclusion.
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) gained 0.51% ($3.188B) after Bernstein raised its target price from $290 to $330.
