- XBOW Rewarded for Exploit Affecting a Billion Users
XBOW, an autonomous offensive security company, said its platform earned a $250,000 Chrome Vulnerability Reward Program award from Google for a full-chain Windows exploit, the first such reward under Google's 2026 rules and the first granted to an autonomous security platform. Working with OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol models, XBOW's AI agents and one researcher chained three previously unknown bugs over six days, at an estimated $40,000 of compute, to run code outside Chrome's sandbox. Google reproduced, confirmed and fixed the bugs, and XBOW says they were never used against users. Before the fixes, the flaw sat in the path of an estimated one billion Chrome users on Windows, and XBOW will use the award to fund work securing NGOs.
- Tech Giants Race To Patch Critical PHP Vulnerabilities Affecting Web Systems
Amazon, Google's Wiz unit, OpenAI and Cloudflare are among tech firms responding to two PHP flaws, known as “PHP2Shell,” that researchers say could let hackers run malicious code on affected servers. Amazon said its threat intelligence team spotted exploitation attempts before the flaws became public, though it is unclear how attackers learned of them early. OpenAI led a coalition that coordinated fixes for two months before disclosure, and the U.S. NSA told organizations to prepare updates and take systems offline if they cannot be patched right away. The article ties the story to AWS, where revenue rose 36.7% and operating income reached $16.6 billion, but Amazon expects about $220 billion of 2026 capital spending, up from about $200 billion.

- AWS Growth Wins Amazon Stock a $330 Upgrade
Phillip Securities upgraded Amazon to Buy from Accumulate on Monday and raised its price target from $320 to $330, arguing that AWS demand justifies the company's heavier spending. Amazon shares were up 5.22% as of 10:30 a.m. ET. Analyst Helena Wang raised her fiscal 2027 revenue estimate by 2%, net income forecast by 3% and capex estimate by 3%, while acknowledging that aggressive spending pressures free cash flow. In the third quarter, net sales rose 12% to $201.9 billion and AWS sales grew 39.3% to $46.0 billion, its fastest pace in nearly five years. Net income fell to $20.7 billion, or $1.89 per diluted share, because the year-ago quarter included $9.5 billion in pre-tax gains from the Anthropic investment.
- Why Amazon Stock Rallied Monday Morning
Amazon shares rose as much as 5.6% on Monday and were still up 4.6% at 11:52 a.m. ET, recovering from last week's slump. Phillip Securities analyst Helena Wang upgraded the stock to buy from accumulate and raised her price target to $330 from $320, citing strong demand visibility for cloud services and a growing suite of AI offerings. The stock had fallen after Q3 results, when Amazon reiterated capex plans of $220 billion for 2026, CEO Andy Jassy said spending would be meaningfully higher in 2027, and free cash flow was negative $42 billion. Jassy said the company has 'even more conviction' that these investments will yield a much larger revenue and free cash flow business. The author argues the valuation at 20 times earnings is near an all-time low and rates the stock a buy.

- AMD to report Q3 results following disappointing showing from Intel
AMD will report third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, as Wall Street looks for signs of AI chip demand after a sharp AI-trade sell-off and a disappointing Q4 outlook from Intel (INTC) last week. Intel guided Q4 revenue to $15 billion to $16 billion, well below the $17 billion analysts expected, sending its stock down nearly 29%; the company blamed a steeper-than-expected decline in the PC market. Analysts expect AMD to earn $1.97 per share on $13 billion in revenue, versus $1.20 and $9.2 billion a year earlier. Data Center sales are forecast at $8.19 billion, up 88% from $4.34 billion, while the gaming business could fall 49% to $655 million as higher memory and storage prices weigh on demand. Client revenue, which includes PC sales, is projected at more than $3.06 billion, up 11% year over year but flat sequentially.
- Why Musk's telecom play is no 'Hail Mary' fix
Two speakers discuss Elon Musk's push into telecoms over the past few months. One says the move may lift the stock briefly but is not a Hail Mary that will turn the business around, since telecom is heavily scrutinized for antitrust and not very lucrative; this speaker also doubts Musk's statements that funding is secured and wants to know what he is worried about in ongoing investigations. The other speaker views SpaceX's entry into telecoms positively, as a sign of diversification beyond AI and space, while the first asks when that could become an issue.
- Eli Lilly Just Delivered Another Blowout Quarter. Is This Unstoppable Growth Stock Still a Buy?
Eli Lilly reported third-quarter revenue up 39% year over year to $24.4 billion, driven mainly by GLP-1 drugs: Mounjaro rose 65% to $10.7 billion and Zepbound rose 49% to $5.4 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $7.48, up 7%, held back by acquisition-related expenses, but both revenue and earnings beat analyst estimates. The company raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $91 billion to $92 billion from $85 billion to $87 billion, and its shares jumped after the report. The article argues the GLP-1 market still has room to expand given low penetration, and views Lilly's pipeline, including retatrutide, as among the strongest in the field, while noting pricing pressure and competition from new medicines over the medium term.
- Why Lumentum Stock Fell 14.9% Today
Lumentum shares fell 14.9% intraday despite a strong first-quarter report, with revenue more than doubling 136.5% to $1.26 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.57. The company agreed to be acquired by Marvell Technology in an all-stock deal of 4.5 Marvell shares for each Lumentum share, with closing expected in the first half of calendar 2028. The deal was valued at $115 billion, or about $1,132 per Lumentum share, based on October 28 prices; at Monday's midday prices the offer was worth about $800 per share after Marvell fell 9.5%. Lumentum traded 10.6% below that implied value, and the two stocks together erased nearly $28 billion in market value on Monday. The companies expect more than $1 billion in annual cost savings.
- North Korea Is Laundering Binance Hack Loot at One New Wallet Every 25 Seconds
According to Elliptic, North Korean hackers spread the $6.43 billion stolen from Binance across about 12,000 wallets on 11 blockchains in under four days, with more than 40,000 transactions. Thanks to fast freezes by Tether and Circle, about 44% of the funds, or $2.85 billion, has been frozen or seized, compared with roughly 3% after the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025, though about $786 million in stablecoins still got away. About $3.24 billion remains in linked addresses, and Elliptic expects the funds to be cashed out over months through over-the-counter brokers. The FBI has attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean state-linked hacking group.
- 5 must-read analyst questions from Reddit’s Q3 earnings call
Reddit's third-quarter results beat estimates, with revenue of $895 million up 53% year on year and adjusted EPS of $2.07, yet the stock drew a significant negative market reaction. Revenue guidance of $1.02 billion for the fourth quarter sat below analyst estimates of $1.04 billion. In the Q&A, analysts pressed on the shift to a logged-in-only experience, the sharp drop in traffic from Google, and how to model user monetization. CEO Steve Huffman said logged-in and app users make up the vast majority of engagement and over 80% of the monetization on Reddit, described the transition as a test that will be permanent, and confirmed it will make Reddit harder to scrape.
