CEO C.C. Wei warned that consumer and price-sensitive segments face challenges from rising component prices and macroeconomic uncertainty, while calling AI chip demand extremely robust.

- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Misses Third Quarter Earnings, Is The Upside Already Priced In?
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) missed third-quarter earnings expectations even as it reported US$15.3b in quarterly net income, while issuing a series of callable unsecured notes. The stock has cooled recently, with a 30-day share price return of 4.24% and a 90-day return of 2.29%, though it is still up 3.01% year to date at US$335.28. Over the longer term, total shareholder return was 11.79% over one year and has more than doubled over three and five years. The article suggests short-term momentum has slowed while the long-term record remains strong, and asks whether the share price already reflects most of the upside. A widely followed thesis puts fair value at $370.39, but the article flags risks such as higher credit losses in a downturn or lower rates compressing net interest income.
- Harvard Endowment Soars to $68 Billion After 27 Percent Return
Harvard's endowment grew by more than $11 billion to nearly $68 billion in fiscal year 2026 after a roughly 27% investment return, its highest since 2021. The university reported a $100 million operating surplus, a 1.5% margin on $6.7 billion in revenue, after a $113 million operating loss in fiscal 2025, though unrestricted funds still ran a $78.7 million deficit. The endowment tax will rise from 1.4% to 8%, and Harvard's tax liability jumped from $317 million to $1.9 billion, mostly reflecting estimated future taxes on unrealized gains. Salaries fell by $104 million through a hiring freeze, attrition and restructurings, while legal fees rose 58% in fiscal 2025 amid court battles with the Trump administration.
- MGIC Investment (MTG) Earns 80% Margins on Falling Revenue. Is the Stock Cheap Enough?
MGIC Investment (MTG) closed at $27.12 on October 13, roughly where it stood six months earlier. The company sells insurance to mortgage lenders, collecting premiums and paying claims when borrowers stop paying, and its operating margin is 80.85% with debt at just 12.90% of equity. Costs barely move because premiums come from policies written years ago, but revenue fell 2.90% and earnings fell 5.40% in the latest quarter as high mortgage rates reduce new policies. The article notes that profits depend heavily on employment and claims, which have been unusually favorable over the past decade. The shares trade at 9.15 times the past year's earnings and 8.68 times expected next-year earnings, which the article reads as the market pricing in a shrinking book and a possibly worse claims cycle.
- Why Does Rocket Companies (RKT) Earn Just 3% on Equity After Doubling Revenue?
Rocket Companies (RKT) closed at $10.83 on October 13 and has fallen roughly 30% over six months. A year ago it bought Mr. Cooper for $14.2 billion, becoming the largest in the country in both mortgage lending and servicing, with close to 10 million homeowners paying through it. Revenue grew 91.9% in the latest quarter, mostly from the acquisition, but return on equity was only 3.03%. The article notes that servicing income is largely unaffected by mortgage rates, while lending falls when borrowing costs rise, so the two businesses offset each other. Profit has lagged the company's size because the Mr. Cooper deal was paid in shares, enlarging equity, and Rocket wrote down the value of the acquired businesses, which it names as the reason for the sharp rise in that charge.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street

Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%.

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
