The FAA certified Boeing's 737 Max 10 on Tuesday after years of delays, making it the last model in Boeing's best-selling jet family to receive government approval. The approval came weeks after federal officials reviewed a navigation system glitch and deemed it not a safety-of-flight issue. The Max 10, the largest model in the family, was originally slated to fly in 2020, but heightened scrutiny after two Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, along with other safety issues including engineering changes to an engine anti-icing system, delayed certification. Orders for this aircraft make up about 30% of Boeing's backlog, with customers including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. United's CEO said the lie-flat seats the airline expected for the plane are now sitting in a warehouse because the wait was so long.

Key benefits include a more complete view of aircraft condition and maintenance history, built-in access controls, encryption and monitoring, and flexible data sharing without centralizing data on one platform. Dataliner also serves as a common foundation for Boeing's Digital Services, supporting new products such as Asset Lifecycle Planning and TechOps AI Agent and connecting established solutions like Airplane Health Management, Insight Accelerator and Maintenance Performance Toolbox.
- GE Aerospace Falls 4% Despite Earnings Beat and Raised Outlook as Costs Climb; RTX Edges Higher, Boeing Barely Moves
GE Aerospace reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.25 versus $1.99 expected and revenue of $14.12 billion versus $12.84 billion, and raised its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $8 to $8.10. Even so, the stock fell 4% to $299.59 in the morning session as costs climbed: sales discounts and allowances rose sharply on new engine installations, spare parts and durability reserves, free cash flow fell 9.2% to $2.04 billion, and operating income barely moved at $2.81 billion. Recognition of deferred revenue on the GE9X engine awaits midseal certification. Management pointed to orders up 49% to $19 billion and an over $170 billion commercial services backlog. RTX rose 0.52% to $193.15 and Boeing fell 0.49% to $190.57, and the article argues the selloff is specific to GE Aerospace given the nearly flat broader market.
- We're buying more of a beaten-up stock before another overhang is lifted
Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust bought 35 more Boeing shares at roughly $191.16, bringing its holding to 620 shares and lifting its portfolio weighting to 3% from 2.8%. The purchase used some proceeds from a TJX Companies trim earlier Monday. Reuters reported on Friday that the FAA could approve Boeing's 737 Max 10 as soon as this week; the article says certification would reduce uncertainty over delays, since about one-third of the 737 Max backlog reportedly covers this variant, with deliveries likely starting in 2027. The stock is still about 20% below its Aug. 5 close, which the article mainly attributes to rising oil prices and interest rates.
- Archer Aviation Stock Is Down Roughly 50% This Year. Here's Why I'm Still Buying.
Archer Aviation (ACHR) shares have fallen from about $8 at the start of the year to about $4, but the author argues the company has made real progress. Archer completed Phase 3 of the FAA's four-phase type certification process, becoming the first eVTOL company to do so, and flew more than 70 test flights in August. Its eVTOL revenue remains zero, but it has announced plans to acquire three Boeing (BA) subsidiaries, Wisk Aero, SkyGrid and Insitu, with Insitu, a profitable military drone maker, generating over $200 million in annual revenue. Archer posted just $5 million in revenue last quarter against expenses of about $284 million, and Boeing would receive a substantial stake that dilutes existing shareholders if the deal closes.
- United Airlines slashes 2026 profit outlook on fuel prices, but travelers keep booking despite higher fares
United Airlines cut its 2026 profit outlook as fuel costs rise, but said passengers keep booking despite higher fares. It expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 50 cents to $1.50 a share, well below the $1.76 analysts expected, and at the top of that range its 2026 adjusted earnings would be no more than $7.22 a share, down from the $9 to $11 forecast in mid-July. Fuel is expected to average $4.80 a gallon in the fourth quarter, up from $3.90 in the third, and its fuel bill rose close to 62% in the quarter to $4.84 billion. Third-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.54 a share narrowly missed estimates of $2.57, while revenue rose 17.4% to $17.88 billion and passenger counts grew more than 2%.

- Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs Join Growing List of Companies Objecting to Tokenized Stocks
Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, Caterpillar, McDonald’s and Western Digital have objected to their shares trading on OKXICE TSV, according to an Oct. 19 notice. The total number of objecting issuers rose to 16 from nine in the venue’s Oct. 15 notice, though neither notice gives reasons. The updated notice also says the venue may offer stocks tokenized by the issuers themselves, not only by third parties. OKXICE TSV is a planned 24/7 tokenized stock venue from OKX and ICE, running on Uniswap v4 pools on XLayer with stablecoin settlement under the SEC's innovation exemption. Nasdaq, which has its own tokenized securities pilot, said it will opt its shares out of the exemption.
- Visa partners with Mesh for seamless stablecoin payments at stores
According to a speaker in the discussion, the main obstacle for crypto payments is user experience, as paying with crypto at the final step is nearly impossible for most people. The partnership with Visa is said to bring 774 million crypto owners to shop at 175 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa cards. Users can tap their phones to pay from wallets such as Coinbase, MetaMask or Koshi, instead of copying alphanumeric addresses or waiting for settlement. The speaker argues that tap-to-pay and QR code payments are becoming the new norm as consumers increasingly avoid cash.
- 3M: 3 Key Takeaways for Long-Term Investors
On its third-quarter 2026 earnings call on Oct. 20, 2026, 3M reported expanding profit margins and raised full-year earnings guidance as orders accelerated. The company issued Amazon warrants for up to 3.2 million shares, tied to $6 billion in cumulative sales of optical connectivity and data center products over seven years. Five-year new product sales are up 34% year to date to nearly $3 billion, and new product vitality has risen to the mid-teens from 11% in 2024. 3M increased prices to fully offset rising raw material and oil costs, and it remains confident in organic growth above 3.5% this year.
- Microsoft (MSFT) Withdraws From UK AI Data Center Project
Microsoft has withdrawn as anchor tenant from Nscale's planned AI data center in Loughton, Essex, citing power supply delays. The article says the site is not expected to receive sufficient grid power until the 2030s, far beyond Microsoft's planning horizon, so the company judged the power-access risk too high for its Azure plans. Nscale must now search for new hyperscale tenants for the site. The article notes Microsoft is already committing around US$175b to US$190b to 2026 infrastructure and has locked in a 1,100 MW power agreement with NiSource.
- BlackRock Is Building a Bitcoin ETF for Investors Who Can't Stomach the Swings
On Oct. 19, BlackRock filed a preliminary prospectus with the SEC for the iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF, ticker PBIT, which aims to deliver Bitcoin-linked gains up to a cap while cushioning some losses. Instead of holding Bitcoin directly, the fund would use options on IBIT across three overlapping, roughly three-month tranches, buying a call struck near 90% of IBIT's starting price for the floor and selling a higher-strike call to cap upside, with Treasury bills held alongside. Each tranche's loss is capped at roughly 10% before fees, but BlackRock retains broad discretion to change terms, and the fee field is still blank. The filing could take effect as early as January 2027.
- Amazon Stock Costs More Than the Market. I'd Still Buy It for the Next 5 Years.
Amazon shares rose about 5% on Monday but trade near $262, roughly 8% below their August 3 record close of $284.02. The author argues the right benchmark for today's buyers is an S&P 500 index fund, which compounded about 10% a year with dividends reinvested from 1928 through 2025, and expects Amazon to beat it over five years because profits are growing faster than sales. Operating income rose from $22.9 billion in 2020 to $93.7 billion in the 12 months through June, up 23%, with AWS contributing $54.7 billion, about 58% of the total. Net purchases of property and equipment rose $66.1 billion over the trailing 12 months, mainly for AI, and free cash flow over the same span was a $7.6 billion outflow. The author expects earnings to grow about 15% a year through 2031 and sees the stock beating the index by a couple of percentage points a year, despite trading at about 25 times expected 2027 earnings.
