- Sonoco Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results
Sonoco's third-quarter net sales were $2.0 billion, down 4.2% year over year mainly due to the ThermoSafe divestiture, and essentially flat excluding divestitures. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $732 million, or $7.36 per diluted share, driven by an $829 million non-cash goodwill impairment, while adjusted net income was $167 million ($1.67 per share) versus $191 million a year earlier. Operating cash flow was $285 million, and total debt fell $162 million after the company refinanced an $800 million term loan. CEO Howard Coker cited drought in Europe and the U.S. and higher inflation costs, while Industrial Paper Packaging posted URB trade ton sales up 10% and 94% mill utilization. Consumer Packaging volume/mix fell 3% on adverse weather and unfavorable price/cost dynamics.
- Silgan And American Industrial To Buy Trivium Packaging In $3 . 4bn Deal
Silgan Holdings and private equity firm American Industrial Partners agreed to buy Trivium Packaging for $3.4 billion (€3.03 billion) to expand Silgan's footprint in Europe. Netherlands-based Trivium, currently owned by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Ardagh Group, will be combined with Silgan's metal businesses into a global metal packaging business valued at $7.3 billion. American Industrial Partners will invest about $1 billion for a 40% stake, while Silgan keeps 60% and receives about $2.3 billion in cash proceeds; the deal is expected to close in mid-2027. Higher raw material costs have squeezed packaging margins, and Silgan shares, down about 6% year to date, rose about 9% in afternoon trading.
- Why International Paper Rallied Today
International Paper (NYSE:IP) shares rose 7.6% on reports that two private equity firms may bid for its European business, formerly DS Smith, after the stock had fallen roughly 20% year-to-date. The Financial Times reported the total sale could be under $6 billion, a 40% discount to the $9.9 billion International Paper paid in 2024. Even at that loss, a sale would ease the company's roughly $8.5 billion in net debt and remove a segment with steady operating losses. The article notes, however, that the North American business is still struggling, with revenue down 4.5% and operating income down 26.4% last quarter, so the rebound could prove a one-off unless conditions improve.

- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
- Apple’s foldable iPhone has a $2,000 app problem
Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley has had hands-on time with Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo, which hits stores Friday. He finds the design strong, though one-handed use requires stretching your thumb, and people with small hands will likely need two hands. The matte screen hides the crease well, addressing a durability concern that earlier foldables faced, and Samsung and Google have also solved it. Howley calls the device mainly an early-adopter product, warning that apps may not look perfect at launch. He also notes it has ultra-wide and wide cameras but no zoom lens, so buyers who want zoom should consider the Pro models.
- Alphabet (GOOGL) vs. MSFT and AMZN: Can AI Investments and Google Cloud Growth Unlock a 26% Upside?
The article summarizes a bullish case on Alphabet (GOOGL) from Astute Optics - US's Substack. Shares traded at $334.76 as of October 21st 2026, with trailing and forward P/E of 17.62 and 22.83, and gained 35.20% over 12 months versus 20.50% for Amazon. Bulls point to Google Cloud revenue jumping 82% to $24.8 billion and quarterly revenue rising 24% to $119.8 billion, backed by a net cash position of $144.3 billion, while capital spending plans were raised to $195 billion to $205 billion. The average analyst price target of $422 implies roughly 26% upside, but the article warns of risks including AI spending not converting into earnings, regulatory scrutiny, AI search competition and advertising budget cuts, given over 70% of 2025 revenue came from online advertising.
