This article highlights three leading stocks trading near their 52-week lows: Netflix (NFLX), American Express (AXP) and Uber Technologies (UBER), even as the S&P 500 has continued to climb. Netflix is down more than 30% this year on concerns about slowing growth and intensifying competition, but it still forecasts 13% full-year revenue growth and trades at 18 times earnings. American Express has fallen over 15% despite adjusted net income of $3.2 billion in the third quarter, up 11% year over year, and trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 19 versus the S&P 500 average of 23. Uber trades at less than 15 times trailing earnings after revenue rose 12% and bookings increased 24% in the June quarter. The author argues the market is wrong to see autonomous driving as a risk to Uber, which could instead complement its existing platform.

- Uber (UBER) vs. DoorDash (DASH): Is Faster Growth Worth Paying More For?
Over the past six months, UBER returned -1% and DASH returned 22%, as of October 12. Uber says customers who use both ride-hailing and Uber Eats grow 1.5x faster than those who use only one service, while DoorDash is expanding into grocery, retail, advertising and merchant services. In Q2 2026, DoorDash orders rose 27% to 970 million and revenue rose 36% to $4.5 billion, or 24% excluding the Deliveroo acquisition. Uber posted gross bookings above $58 billion and trailing 12-month free cash flow above $10 billion. At 15.92x forward earnings for Uber versus 38.02x for DoorDash, the article notes that Uber's trailing P/E of 15.22x is affected by a roughly $1.6 billion pre-tax revaluation gain, and says Uber has the easier valuation case, while DoorDash must still prove its newer categories can become profitable.
- Netflix Stock: Should You Buy the Post-Earnings Dip?
Netflix (NFLX) reported Q3 results on October 20 with revenue of about $12.9 billion and earnings of 87 cents per share, beating the 82-cent analyst estimate. Its full-year revenue outlook of $51.1 billion, up 13% year over year, sits at the low end of its prior range and below the $51.2 billion analysts expected, and the stock has since hit new lows, down around 30% year to date and more than 40% over 12 months. At a forward P/E of 17 versus 19 for the average S&P 500 stock, the article argues the valuation looks appealing for a business still growing in double digits with strong fundamentals, though no near-term catalyst is apparent and engagement challenges remain.
- Netflix Just Posted a Record Margin. So Why Is Wall Street Panicking?
Netflix reported third-quarter revenue up 12% to $12.9 billion, a record 34.6% operating margin and $2.88 billion in free cash flow, yet its shares are down roughly 50% from their highs. The drop reflects worries over viewing: the company reported no growth in watch hours, and third-party data show its US TV viewing share stuck around 8% while YouTube pushes toward 15%. Several content executives have been let go and a rare round of layoffs carried out, with CEO Ted Sarandos reportedly frustrated by the lack of new hit shows. Netflix is broadening its offering with sports such as NFL games, live events, reality TV, podcasts and shorter series to compete with TikTok and YouTube. The author argues that a P/E of 19, one of the company's lowest valuations in years, makes buybacks more attractive at lower share prices.
- Netflix Stock Has Always Overcome the Odds. Has It Finally Hit a Wall?
Netflix reported 325 million paid subscribers at the end of 2025, with churn at 2%, the lowest in the industry. In the third quarter, revenue rose 12% year over year, operating margin expanded from 28.2% to 34.6%, and EPS reached $0.87. This week, however, Netflix fired its content head and film unit head and laid off 1,000 workers, as revenue growth slowed to its lowest in three years amid weakness in the U.S. business. The company hired Disney alumnus Peter Rice to produce a major hit show and slightly lowered full-year revenue growth guidance to 13%, citing a delay in an ad product rollout. The stock is down 46% over the past year, with a P/E of 19. The author argues Netflix has not hit a wall and can rebound.
- Down Roughly 50% From Its Highs, Is Netflix Stock Finally a Buy?
Netflix (NFLX) shares have fallen roughly 50% from their all-time closing high of $133.91 on June 30, 2025, following the company's third-quarter report. Before the report, Netflix fired its chief content officer and announced its largest layoff since 2022, hiring former Disney executive Peter Rice as it struggled to produce U.S. blockbuster shows. In Q3, revenue rose 12% to $12.87 billion and adjusted EPS jumped 49% to $0.87, above the $0.82 analyst estimate compiled by LSEG. Netflix guided Q4 revenue to $13.4 billion but trimmed full-year revenue to $51.1 billion and cut its ad revenue forecast from $3 billion to $2.7 billion due to a slower ad rollout. The article argues that at a forward P/E of about 17 times 2027 estimates, the valuation now looks attractive.
- Should You Buy Netflix Stock After Its 51% Plunge?
Netflix reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $12.9 billion, up 11.8% from a year earlier and its slowest growth in three years, and its shares fell 6% after hours and are down 51% from their record high. The company cut its 2026 ad revenue forecast to $2.7 billion from $3 billion, citing slower rollout of some advertising capabilities. Positives include the appointment of Peter Rice as chief content officer and continued investment in live sports. The author argues the stock trades at a P/E of 18.5, below its five-year average of 38.8 and the S&P 500's 23.5, and that investors willing to hold for 5 to 10 years could do well.

- AI debt fears ease ahead of Oracle, Alphabet and Amazon updates. Here's what to watch.
Fears over AI-related debt have eased after a period of volatility, but more tests are coming, including Oracle's Investor Day and quarterly results from Alphabet and Amazon scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Meta's plan for a $95 billion stock offering helped bring down its credit-default swap spreads, which had risen after negative free cash flow in the third quarter, though Meta's CDS spread is still up 177% year to date and Amazon's is up 129%. According to FactSet consensus, Alphabet is expected to report third-quarter free cash flow of -$2.3 billion on $55.2 billion of capex, and Amazon -$9.9 billion on $58.7 billion, with analysts focused on capex guidance. Oracle has issued $117 billion in long-term debt and holds a BBB-1 rating from S&P, which CreditSights calls the most important investment-grade tech credit. S&P also noted that off-balance sheet commitments, such as data center leases and chip purchase obligations, are not necessarily treated as debt.
- Is Tech On It’s Way To 500,000 Layoffs?
The article asks whether the tech sector is heading toward 500,000 layoffs, as AI is already cutting payrolls at Microsoft, Amazon and Meta. Microsoft offered buyouts to 60,000 people, Oracle cut 21,000 jobs, Amazon has cut 16,000 workers and, according to The New York Times, may not hire 600,000 workers it would have needed by 2033, while Intel cut nearly 14,000 and Block cut 4,000. Meta considered cutting 60% of its workforce in August before scaling back, and if it proceeds later, the cuts would affect 45,000 people. Citing Elon Musk, the article says debt markets have nearly shut off funding for neocloud companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers, and argues that consolidation in this group could push job losses to 300,000 to 400,000. Goldman Sachs estimates about 9% of US workers will be displaced, and Anthropic's S-1 says AI could affect jobs in technology, finance, law and consulting.
- Ripple, Robinhood expand partnership to bring RLUSD to retail and institutional markets

According to DeFiLlama, RLUSD, launched in 2024, has a market capitalization of $2.57 billion, with nearly $1 billion issued on the XRP Ledger. The announcements followed Ripple's final approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish a national trust bank, which will manage reserves backing RLUSD.
- Why Herc Holdings Rocketed Over 20% Today
Herc Holdings shares rose 23.4% as of 2:21 p.m. EDT after the construction equipment rental company reported third-quarter results that beat expectations on both revenue and adjusted earnings and raised its full-year guidance. Revenue rose 4.6% to $1.36 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped 76.1% to $3.91, driven by a 12% increase in equipment rental revenue and a 3.6 percentage-point rise in utilization. The article links these gains to the integration of H&E Equipment Services, which closed in June 2025, and to mega-projects in areas such as data centers and oil and gas. Before the rally, the stock traded at a steep discount to peers such as United Rentals and Sunbelt Rentals amid concerns about debt from the H&E acquisition. After the move, the stock trades at roughly 21.5 times 2026 adjusted earnings estimates and about 14.4 times 2027 estimates.
- Lektra Launches EdgeStart, an AI Server that Building Owners Can Buy and Run on Their Own Solar, While Receiving 80% of the Earnings
Lektra has begun taking orders for EdgeStart, a self-contained cabinet with an 8-GPU NVIDIA server that lets building owners with solar panels or batteries earn from spare power by hosting AI computing. Lektra installs and remotely operates the system, sells the computing capacity to AI customers through Lektra Cloud, and pays the owner 80% of revenue. Two configurations are offered: the EdgeStart RTX with eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs at $310,197, with estimated owner earnings of about $9,700 a month in the first year, and the EdgeStart B300 with eight B300 GPUs at $840,951, with estimated earnings of about $36,950 a month. The estimates assume 730 contracted hours a month, an 80 percent owner share and power at $0.10 per kilowatt-hour, and buyers can pay cash or finance through Blue Street Capital at 9 percent over 48 months with 20 percent down.
- S&P 500 Sell-Off: Is Now the Right Time to Buy the Dip?
The S&P 500 has declined about 2.5% since hitting a record high on Oct. 6, raising the question of whether it is time to buy the dip. The article argues that consistent long-term investing is often more lucrative than waiting for the perfect moment, with the index delivering average annual returns of 9.98% since 1928 despite crashes, wars and economic crises. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) has returned an annualized 15.3% over the past 10 years and 14.94% over the 16 years since its inception. Citing Schwab research, the author notes that investing $2,000 per year as early as possible from 2005 to 2024 earned almost as much as investing at each year's lowest point, and suggests focusing on long-term plans instead of timing the market.
