First BanCorp (FBP) reported Q3 net income of $96.1 million, flat sequentially as lower provisions and taxes offset lower net interest income, with diluted EPS of $0.63. Net interest margin fell 14 basis points to 4.73% on higher funding costs, while annualized loan growth of 3.3% was led by commercial and industrial lending and the CET1 ratio stood at 16.91%. The board raised the dividend 25% to $0.20 per share and approved a new $350 million buyback authorization. Net charge-offs rose to 0.55% of average loans from 0.49%, driven by consumer and auto portfolios, and tangible book value per share declined to $12.15 from $12.68 as higher market rates reduced securities values. Management expects deposit competition and loan pricing to keep pressure on margin expansion through the fourth quarter.

- 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.

- 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.
