- Rockwell Automation Expands FactoryTalk Conductor with NVIDIA Nemotron Support
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) said its FactoryTalk Conductor AI orchestration platform now supports NVIDIA Nemotron open models, giving manufacturers more deployment options. The approach lets companies keep engineering and production data in their own environments and retain control over infrastructure, governance and cost, while still using Rockwell-verified agents and skills. The platform lets users start engineering tasks through natural language and points toward agent-driven workflows in which engineers remain responsible for oversight and critical decisions.
- How QNX software is fueling BlackBerry's next act
QNX president John Wall tells Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma how QNX's software is helping drive BlackBerry's next phase. He describes QNX as foundational software that sits between hardware and application software, similar to Mac OS or Windows, but designed for mission-critical uses where functional safety is paramount, such as controlling steering and braking in cars or turbine blade pitch in oil and gas. QNX holds safety and security certifications for these markets. Wall says robotics, industrial automation, medical devices, aerospace and defense now require the same safe, secure and deterministic software that automotive has long demanded. He notes NVIDIA's self-driving stack is based on QNX and that NVIDIA is adapting it for robotics, with QNX still as its foundation.
- 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.
- Teaming up with billionaire Phạm Nhật Vượng, Vietnamese firm secures hundreds of millions in orders to build automated production lines for VinFast, now eyeing India and Indonesia
Before 2018, Weldcom mainly supplied equipment and metal fabrication services. It has partnered with VinFast since 2018 and was the first Vietnamese contractor to design, install and commission an electric motorcycle production line. In Hải Phòng it rebuilt a car body-shop line with over 200 robots, then took on a similar role in Hà Tĩnh and worked on VinFast projects in India and Indonesia. From 2018 to end-2025, contracts signed with VinFast exceeded USD 200 million, and total company revenue ranged from about VND 3,000–4,000 billion, of which VinFast projects accounted for roughly 50–60%. The company is also approaching large Indian automakers such as Mahindra and Tata to diversify beyond the VinFast ecosystem.
- Hitachi Energy and Rockwell Automation unite power and automation to help industries accelerate electrification
Hitachi Energy and Rockwell Automation announced a collaboration on an integrated grid-to-process architecture that links the power infrastructure of industrial facilities with production systems. The companies say rising power demand, decarbonization pressure and capital constraints mean electrical and production planning can no longer be separated. Mining and metals will be the initial focus, where analysis estimates growth capital expenditure for new capacity could require $1 trillion USD over the next decade. Their combined expertise spans grid connection, power quality, energy management, process automation and digital operations. The partners are exploring solution development and customer engagement, with broader potential in other energy-intensive industries.
- Meta, SpaceX, Anthropic stoke the AI funding frenzy. What it means for our stocks
Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion in three steps: $22.5 billion of Class A common stock priced at $642.62 per share, $12.5 billion of preferred shares, and $60 billion from an at-the-market offering of Class C shares no sooner than next year. Elon Musk said SpaceX closed a $40 billion debt financing for GPUs, while Anthropic filed an S-1 for its IPO with a possible valuation of up to $2 trillion; the amount to be raised is undisclosed but could be tens of billions of dollars, if not $100 billion. CoreWeave has fallen 60% from its year-to-date high of nearly $139 on May 6 and hit a 52-week low just above $51. Musk said debt markets have nearly shut for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers, and that the 200+ neoclouds face consolidation. The article argues that hyperscalers with other businesses, such as Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet, could benefit as weaker neocloud providers struggle.

- JetBlue posts bigger loss on fuel costs, but CEO says margins improving
JetBlue posted a third-quarter net loss of $257 million, wider than the $143 million loss a year earlier, as its fuel bill rose 61% to $868 million. CEO Joanna Geraghty said resilient demand and strong yields pushed revenue well above initial expectations, a momentum that has carried into the fourth quarter, while average fares rose more than 19% to $245.11. Shares jumped roughly 11% in after-hours trading Monday after falling to a new low, and the carrier ended the quarter with $2.2 billion in liquidity and $8.4 billion in total debt. The Wall Street Journal reported that a group of senior creditors is working with PJT Partners, while CFO Ursula Hurley said the company aims for at least $1 EPS and positive free cash flow in 2028. A judge blocked both the Spirit Airlines acquisition and the American Airlines partnership, and JetBlue now has a partnership with United Airlines.
- Why Google might avoid an earnings 'reckoning' this week
According to D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria, Google (GOOG) has several advantages ahead of this week's earnings that Meta (META) lacked after its negative surprises. Google already did some fundraising and signaled a significant increase in capex for next year when it reported Q2, so that concern may be behind it. Co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page moved out of California before the 1/1/26 cutoff and may avoid selling shares, letting investors focus on Google Cloud growth driven by Anthropic. Meta posted negative free cash flow for the first time since 2012 amid aggressive AI spending and created a nonvoting Class C stock, effectively a 2-for-1 split, with trading slated for January 2027. Meta shares have faced pressure over fears that Zuckerberg may have to sell shares to pay his Prop 40 tax bill, while Luria says Google ranks second or third in each AI market.
- 1 small-cap stock to target this week and 2 we find risky
The article highlights ANF (market cap $6.61 billion), a specialty retailer selling its own fashion brand to young adults, as a small-cap stock worth noting this week, while ASAN and PIPR are grouped as risky. ASAN (market cap $2.75 billion, priced at $11.83) posted average ARR growth of 9.5% over the last year and a 96.5% net revenue retention rate, which the article links to customer churn from commoditized software and long sales cycles caused by customization for large enterprise clients. It trades at about 3x forward price-to-sales. PIPR (market cap $4.34 billion, $64.58 per share) saw annual revenue growth of 5% over the last five years and EPS growth of 3.3%, which the article notes trailed its revenue gains, and it trades at 13.3x forward P/E.
- Tesla Isn't a Hyperscaler. Why the AI Bears Are Misreading Its $5 Billion Capex Cut.
Tesla lowered its 2026 capital expenditure (capex) forecast from more than 25 billion USD to approximately 20 billion USD, CFO Vaibhav Taneja said on the third-quarter earnings call. The move does not mean Tesla is backing away from AI, as it continues to develop Full Self-Driving, expand its Cybercab robotaxi program, and work on Optimus robots, but it does not need to build data center capacity on the scale of Amazon Web Services or Azure. Third-quarter revenue was 28.05 billion USD, essentially unchanged from a year earlier, while operating margins narrowed from 5.8% to 2.6%. Tesla still generated 1.53 billion USD in free cash flow during the quarter and ended September with more than 45 billion USD in cash and investments. The article argues the cut reflects timing rather than intent, since management expects capital spending to rise in coming years.
- Quantum computing could 'brute force break' most banks' encryption
Algorand CEO William Herkelrath says quantum computing could let brute-force attacks break most banks' current encryption, so every system will need upgrading. He says the threat is on the horizon, with estimates ranging from two to three years or sooner. He notes government mandates in Europe and the United States, and that 2027 CISO budgets already include related line items. Federal agencies have until October 22 to submit upgrade plans, which cover databases, messaging systems and authenticator apps. He hopes the costs will not fall on consumers and says his company is getting more inbound interest than before.
- Is CoreWeave a Screaming Buy Right Now? 3 Reasons the Stock Could Hit $100 Before the End of the Year.
CoreWeave (CRWV) stock fell 41% in less than three weeks as investors grew skeptical of AI infrastructure build-out costs, after its bond yields reached as high as 15% and some anticipated bankruptcy. The article argues the sell-off could be an attractive buying opportunity and gives three reasons the stock could reach $100 by year-end. First, AI compute demand still outstrips supply, with Amazon saying its cloud capacity is nearly sold out through 2027. Second, Nvidia is a major investor, taking a $2 billion stake in January and agreeing to buy up to $6.3 billion in unused capacity through 2032. Third, interest rates have eased from their peak, and third-quarter earnings expected on Nov. 11 could show revenue up 159.4% to $3.54 billion.
