halbergman/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Elon Musk-led Tesla, Inc.'s ( TSLA ) release of its first quarter (Q1) earnings for its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 after market close on the 22nd of April didn't immediately reverse the trend in the stock, which was down 14% relative to the start of the year as of the day before the release. The stock was essentially flat on the day of the release and went on to drop 3.6%. However, there is potentially some qualified solace for long-time Tesla bulls: early trends in FY 2026 - strictly in balance sheet items - indicate that it will (at best) mirror trends in the previous two FYs, without any immediately apparent signs of worsening. Trend Drilldown Early trends indicate that overall revenue is poised to be weakly negative to flat relative to the past two FYs: Source: Created by Sandeep G. Rao using Tesla's Financial Statements While the total cost of revenue is inching towards showing signs of improved efficiency - particularly in automotive sales, leasing, and energy - spends on R&D takes overall operating expenses towards at least a 20% growth over the previous FY - in line with general trends since 2023. If early trends in the bottom line (i.e., earnings or net income) continue, net income shrinking will largely mirror the past two FYs, with a 48% reduction relative to the previous FY.

Jane Street, the firm known as one of the largest market makers on Wall Street, took in a record $39.6B of trading revenue last year, outperforming traditional banks, according to a media report on Friday. The firm cemented its position at the top of the leaderboard when it pulled in $15.5B in the last quarter of 2025, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the results. Jane Street's 2025 haul beat JPMorgan Chase's ( JPM ), its nearest competitor, by 11%, the report said. JPM had $35.8B of trading revenue, followed by Goldman Sachs's ( GS ) $31.1B. The firm's main business of matching buyers and sellers across assets prospers during periods of high market volatility. But its stakes in privately held companies have also benefited from surging valuations, Bloomberg said. Jane Street's growth is based on technology and an increased tolerance for risk, which can lead to higher returns than a more conservative stance. The firm's rapid growth underscores its ability as a non-bank entity to employ different strategies than banks, which are heavily regulated in what they can do with their capital. The company, which handles investors' trades and also invests its own money, has profited from bursts of market activity since President Donald Trump's second term began. Jane Street's adjusted EBITDA reached ~$31.2B in 2025, the people told Bloomberg. JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) stock fell 0.5%, and Goldman Sachs ( GS ) slipped 0.7% in Friday midday trading.
