In this article TSLA Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A Tesla car dealership stands in Manhattan, New York City, on June 5, 2025. Spencer Platt | Getty Images Tesla posted its vehicle deliveries and production report for the first quarter of 2026, showing a drop from the prior period but mild growth from a year earlier. Tesla has recorded annual declines in the past two years. Here are the key numbers: Total Q1 vehicle deliveries: 358,023 Total Q1 vehicle production: 408,386 Analysts were expecting 370,000 deliveries, according to StreetAccount estimates, while a company-compiled consensus by Tesla, published on March 26, said the average estimate was for 365,645 deliveries in the first quarter. Deliveries improved 6% from a year ago , when Tesla reported 336,681. The first quarter of 2025 marked a decline of 13% over the first quarter of 2024. Tesla's total deliveries for 2025 fell to 1.64 million from 1.79 million in 2024. Tesla's entry-level Model 3 sedan and most popular Model Y SUVs accounted for 341,893 for the quarter, the company said in the latest report. Deliveries are the closest approximation of sales reported by Elon Musk's EV maker, but are not precisely defined in the company's shareholder communications. While Musk has been refocusing the company to produce a driverless Cybercab and Optimus humanoid robots, Tesla has yet to sell those products and still relies on auto sales for the bulk of its revenue. In January, Tesla announced it was ending production of its flagship Model S and X vehicles, and would use the factory lines where they were assembled in Fremont, California, to build Optimus robots. The S and X had long been in decline for Tesla. The 3 and Y accounted for 97% of the company's deliveries last year.

Apollo Global Management ( APO ) said its Q1 pre-tax alternative net investment income is estimated to be ~$205M, equating to an ~6% annualized return on alternative net investments. Additionally, Apollo estimated that the annualized return on Athene's investment in a pooled investment vehicle, through which it holds the large majority of its alternative investment portfolio, equates to an estimated 7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The annualized return on Athene's investments in other alternative investments, including retirement services platforms, equated to ~3% for the first quarter. Comparatively, the return from Athene's alternative investment portfolio had totaled 10% during the fourth quarter of 2025 . Apollo attributed the Q1 investment income to a lower contribution from origination platforms, including ATLAS SP Partners. Shares were 5.22% lower to $104.50 during pre-market trading on Thursday.

Geopolitical risk surrounding the Strait of Hormuz remains elevated despite President Donald Trump’s recent address, with critical questions unanswered about whether “open” navigation means freedom of passage or a new toll system controlled by Iran, according to Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisory. The uncertainty has kept oil prices and futures higher than before the speech, signaling that markets remain unconvinced about a swift resolution. The analyst, speaking to CNBC, emphasized that the end of fighting does not equate to the end of economic disruption. “The end of this from an economic perspective is when vessels can go through the strait without being escorted,” the guest explained. “What does Donald Trump mean when he says the strait will be open? Does open mean freedom of navigation, or does open mean you’re free and open to negotiate with the revolutionary guard?” A key concern raised in the interview is the potential for Iran to impose tolls on vessels passing through the international waterway. Okun warned that if Iran is allowed to charge for passage, “that is going to change energy prices for a long time going forward.” Since Iran will need significant funds for reconstruction and is unlikely to receive reparations from the United States or Israel, the strait could become a revenue source that keeps energy costs inflated indefinitely. The probability of U.S. boots on the ground in Iran remains significant, estimated at “at least fifty-fifty” by Okun. This assessment is based on historical patterns of the Trump administration’s troop deployments. “Whenever the United States under Donald Trump has amassed troops, it has used them,” the Okun noted, pointing to previous military actions in Venezuela and Iran’s airspace. The interview also highlighted broader implications for international maritime law. If the U.S. abdicates its traditional role in protecting freedom of navigation, it could set a dangerous global precedent. “ What happens in the South China Se...

However, the magnitude of the requests underscores how Blue Owl has found itself squarely in the middle of worries about private credit. Blue Owl’s stock is coming out of its steepest quarterly decline on record and has posted eight straight months of losses. In early March, bearish bets on the stock reached a record high. BDCs have been hit with a wave of redemption requests amid growing anxiety around the $1.8 trillion market’s lending practices and exposure to businesses that are vulnerable to artificial intelligence disruption.
