- Amazon logistics automation offers long-term margin gains, Jefferies says
Jefferies says Amazon's warehouse automation and expanding logistics network could lift retail margins long term by reducing labour dependence. Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots, but only 40% to 45% of its US small-sortable fulfillment centers are highly automated, leaving room for growth. A US$1 hourly wage rise would add about US$1.1 billion to costs, and Amazon has around US$27 billion of visible capex planned for automation and delivery. Jefferies sees third-party parcel delivery as a growth area, with US delivery stations possibly growing from about 575 to 950 by 2030 and early trials showing 20% to 25% savings for shippers. Grocery is harder given US$10 to US$12 delivery cost per order, though the broker sees potential in Amazon's planned Illinois hybrid retail concept expected in 2028.

- 95% Upside for Reddit? B. Riley Thinks So, and Here’s How
Reddit (RDDT) shares fell another 25% after its third-quarter report and are 63% below their January high, even though revenue grew 53% in the quarter. U.S. daily users fell 2% from a year earlier to 50.7 million, and the company said search referral traffic fell meaningfully in Q3. B. Riley cut its price target to $190 from $270 and kept its Buy rating, a target 95% above the current price. That target equals about 22x the $8.54 per share in earnings analysts expect over the next twelve months, though the article notes those estimates could come down given shrinking U.S. users and the Google data-licensing renewal due in the first quarter of 2027.
- Aura Minerals Sinks 15% as Gold Miners Slide, GDX Down 5%
Aura Minerals (AUGO) sank 15% today with no news of its own as gold slid below $4,000 an ounce, a four-month low, and miners including Newmont (NEM), Agnico Eagle (AEM) and Aris Mining (ARIS) sold off. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) lost 5%, and Aura fell more than twice as hard. Newmont reported $1.9 billion of third-quarter free cash flow, selling gold at an average of $4,317 an ounce with all-in sustaining costs of $1,454. Aura reported record third-quarter output of 95,557 gold equivalent ounces, up 29%, and analysts expect normalized EPS of $6.23 in 2026. The article says Aura's third-quarter results due next week will show whether that output is turning into free cash flow.
- Why FMC Corporation Rallied Today
FMC Corporation shares rallied 30.4% on Friday after third-quarter results that looked weak on the surface, with revenue down 80% to $106 million and an adjusted loss of $4.41 per share, largely due to one-time price cuts and an accounting adjustment. Management guided fourth-quarter revenue to $1.11 billion at the midpoint, flat year over year, with adjusted EBITDA of $220 million and adjusted EPS of $0.63. The company also targets at least $650 million of EBITDA next year and $760 million in 2028. The article says the rally may reflect a low bar after the stock had traded in distressed territory, but could also be short-covering, and notes FMC's substantial debt load and past misses against its guidance.
