- 2 High-Flying Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Decade
The article argues healthcare is rebounding in 2026, with Merck (MRK) shares up 39% and AbbVie (ABBV) up 24% year to date, versus about 12% for the S&P 500. Merck's second-quarter revenue rose 5% to $16.6 billion, beating estimates, with Keytruda sales of $8.4 billion, though Keytruda may lose patent exclusivity by 2028. AbbVie's second-quarter revenue grew 10.2% to nearly $17 billion and adjusted EPS rose 22.9% to $3.65, driven by Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales growing about 24%. AbbVie is on a streak of 54 consecutive annual dividend increases, including its time as part of Abbott Laboratories, qualifying it as a Dividend King.

- Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Lags Massive Earnings Growth—A Compelling Value Opportunity
Munro Partners' Munro Global Growth Fund posted a -12.6% net return in Q3 2026, trailing the MAET.ASX return of -13.8%, with long holdings the main detractors. The fund's letter named NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) its largest contributor, citing strong earnings growth and guidance for at least 70% revenue growth next fiscal year, versus consensus of 45%.

- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
- Musk: AI’s Hard Part Is “Scaling Power”: 3 Stocks Uniquely Suited to Win This New Bottleneck Trade
Microsoft said it will scale its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments starting next calendar year, and Elon Musk said scaling power is the hard part of AI. The article argues power is an input that chip and app companies cannot copy quickly, which favors Vistra (VST), Constellation Energy (CEG) and GE Vernova (GEV). Vistra has lost nearly a fifth of its value over the past year even though its adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.91 billion, while Constellation's normalized EPS is expected to reach $13.29 in fiscal 2027. GE Vernova's revenue is expected to reach $60.7 billion by fiscal 2028, and Jefferies has a $298 price target on Vistra. The article warns that all three stocks could move with the mood around AI, regardless of their results.
