- American Express Falls 3% Despite Q3 Beat and Higher Profit Floor; Visa and Mastercard Slip
American Express shares fell 3% to $316.65 in morning trading despite adjusted EPS of $4.68, above the $4.51 consensus, and a raised low end of its full-year adjusted EPS forecast now at $17.60 to $17.90. GAAP EPS of $5.42 included a $982 million pre-tax gain from selling a stake in a corporate travel business. Card Member billed business rose 8% to $454 billion, and the net write-off rate improved to 1.8% from 1.9%. However, total revenue of $20.06 billion missed the $20.12 billion estimate, and a lower effective tax rate of 18.1% from 24.1%, driven by discrete one-time benefits, lifted net income. Visa fell 0.6% to $411.99 and Mastercard 0.5% to $630.05, while the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF was down 0.8%.
- American Express is cutting 5% of its workforce to 'prepare for AI'
American Express CEO Stephen Squeri said the company will eliminate 5% of its global workforce, announced on the same day it reported third-quarter results. The company is taking a $336 million restructuring charge in the quarter, which typically includes employee severance costs. Amex had almost 77,000 employees at the end of 2025. Squeri said the company needed to become more agile and efficient to accelerate innovation and gain greater capacity to invest in its business priorities.

- American Express brings Airbnb bookings and rewards to Amex Travel platform
American Express and Airbnb announced a partnership that brings more than 1 million Airbnb listings to Amex’s travel portal, letting cardholders earn rewards on bookings, though members cannot yet redeem points for Airbnb stays. Platinum cardholders can apply their $600 annual lodging credit to Airbnb Luxe stays and receive a new $250 statement credit on eligible Airbnb Experiences after a Luxe booking. Rewards vary by card: Platinum cardholders earn five times membership rewards on prepaid Airbnb bookings through Amex Travel, while Consumer Classic Green cardholders earn three times points on travel bookings made through third-party sites, including Airbnb. The move comes as competition among premium cards intensifies, after Amex raised the annual fee on its Platinum card to $895 last year.
- 3 Dividend Growth Stocks That Have Doubled Their Payouts in 5 Years
The article highlights three stocks that have doubled their dividend payouts over five years: Eli Lilly, Tractor Supply and American Express.

Tractor Supply yields up to 2.9%, and its stock is down 33% in 2026 amid tough economic conditions, though it posted $1 billion in profit over the past four quarters. Its $0.24 quarterly dividend is up 131% from the split-adjusted $0.104 paid in 2021, after a 5-for-1 split in 2024, with a payout ratio near 50%.

Goldman Sachs (GS) Equities net revenues rose 72% year over year to $6.44 billion in the third quarter of 2026, its second-highest quarterly result in this business. For the first nine months of 2026, Equities revenues grew 57% to $19.18 billion. Equities financing revenues jumped 96% to a record $3.37 billion in the quarter, as demand exceeded industry capacity and activity in Asia was strong.

The article cites market volatility, weaker trading activity, elevated interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty as potential drags, and notes Morgan Stanley's Equities revenues of $5.80 billion in the quarter, up 41%.

- SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is 'one of one': Will the market give Anthropic's Dario Amodei the same leeway?
The article asks whether the market will give Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei the same leeway it has given Elon Musk at Tesla and SpaceX. Jared Carmel, co-founder of Manhattan Venture Partners, said Musk is 'one of one' with a rock-star persona that earns him more leeway, while calling Amodei's business amazing; Manhattan invests in both SpaceX and Anthropic. Anthropic is reportedly preparing to publicly file its S-1 prospectus soon, and leaked draft details show first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion versus $1.1 billion a year earlier, but also an $80.7 billion first-half net loss. Investment bankers are reportedly targeting a listing valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, and the company could debut before the end of November.
- SpaceX's Launch Business Wasn't Profitable Last Quarter, but Here's the Hidden Upside
SpaceX's space segment posted $1.8 billion in revenue in Q3, up 6% year over year, but a $7 million operating loss versus $259 million in operating income a year earlier. The article attributes the loss mainly to $1.2 billion in R&D spending, which also supports the connectivity segment, the most profitable business. Connectivity revenue rose 69% to $5.2 billion and operating income rose 99% to $2.4 billion, accounting for most of SpaceX's $2.8 billion operating income for the quarter. Starlink had 13.6 million consumer subscribers at the end of Q3, up from 12 million at the end of Q2. The article argues that viewing space and connectivity as a package makes more sense, since launch capacity supports the Starlink network; once Starship is used commercially, a single launch carrying V3 satellites could add 20 times the network download capacity of a Falcon 9 launch.
- 72 hours of tension: Russia and China deploy ships and aircraft, one country 'squeezed', this time not Ukraine
ABN24, citing Sohu, says Japan faced Russian activity to its north and Chinese activity to its south within 72 hours. Russia announced a 5-day bombing drill with live fire on Iturup (called Etorofu by Tokyo) from October 13 to 17, and closed airspace over the disputed islands from October 10 to 16; Japan protested through diplomatic channels on October 13, while Anadolu reported that as of October 15 neither side had officially confirmed the drill. In the south, China's Liaoning carrier group passed between Okinawa and Miyako and entered the Philippine Sea, prompting Japan to deploy the destroyer Yugiri, P-1 and P-3C patrol aircraft, and scramble fighters. China's Defense Ministry said the drills were not aimed at any country or specific target. A Chinese business delegation from Heilongjiang Province also visited Iturup to explore aquaculture, seafood processing and tourism, and Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said Tokyo was verifying the reports.
- Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $636 Million as October Turns Red Again
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs shed a net $635.6 million on Thursday, wiping out nearly 60% of the roughly $1.07 billion inflow from the previous three sessions. That pushed October's net flows back into a loss of about $176 million, after the funds had reached roughly $460 million in inflows on Wednesday. Ethereum ETFs lost $110.6 million, lifting their October outflows to about $1.18 billion, while Solana ETFs shed $8.9 million. Prices barely moved, with Bitcoin near $81,460, while traders on Myriad, a prediction market, cut the odds of Bitcoin topping $87,500 this month to 17%.
- We're exiting our position in this chipmaker and right-sizing another winner
Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is selling its remaining 120 Broadcom (AVGO) shares at roughly $326 each, exiting the position with an average gain of roughly 128% on shares bought in 2023 and 2024. It is also selling 85 CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares at roughly $251, cutting its weighting to 4.25% from 4.8% after a big move, for a gain of roughly 187% on shares bought in late 2024. The trust says the moves reflect a more defensive approach amid a struggling data center theme over funding concerns, with fewer holdings until the pending Anthropic IPO, expected as soon as mid-November, plays out and Meta Platforms' future equity raises become clearer. Cramer said the approach means 'circling the wagons,' with bigger positions in the better names, and that the Broadcom sale protects large gains and limits exposure to a group under fire.
- Prediction: A $10,000 Investment in This Memory Stock Will Double by 2030 (Hint: It’s Not Micron or Sandisk)
Lam Research (LRCX) shares have risen 64% over the past year as demand for memory from AI infrastructure boosts sales of chipmaking equipment, and the author notes the memory shortage may last until 2030. In fiscal Q1 2027, the company reported revenue of $8.22 billion, up nearly 55% year over year, a non-GAAP operating margin of 40.2% (up 5.2 percentage points), and adjusted EPS of $2.20, versus Wall Street's estimate of $2.18. Guidance for the current quarter of about $8.6 billion in revenue and $2.33 in adjusted EPS was in line with expectations, and the stock fell more than 8% after the report. SEMI projects global semiconductor equipment sales of $166 billion in 2026, while Bank of America estimates WFE spending could reach $360 billion in 2030. The author sees the post-earnings decline as a possible opportunity and offers a hypothetical: with EPS of $17.11 after four years and a 30x earnings multiple, the stock could reach $513, implying a $10,000 investment could grow to more than $21,600.
