[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages remain firmly higher amid broad strength and solid gains across some of the market's largest names.
Tesla (TSLA 371.19, +17.08, +4.82%) is among the top performers after reporting Q3 deliveries of 486,532 vehicles, approximately 5.3% above its company-compiled analyst consensus of 461,974, on production of 464,391. Deliveries exceeded production by 22,141 vehicles, consistent with an inventory drawdown, although the update does not establish stronger current orders or profitability, and energy-storage deployments missed expectations. All seven "Magnificent Seven" names trade higher.
NVIDIA (NVDA 235.17, +4.31, +1.87%) is another standout, as the PHLX Semiconductor index (+3.0%) continues to move higher today.
