In its Q3 2026 investor letter, White Brook Capital said it owns FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO), a sports-first live TV streaming service. FUBO closed at $8.12 on October 21, 2026, with a $245.25 million market capitalization, down 73.15% year to date and trading within a 52-week range of $7.85 to $52.68; trailing twelve-month revenue was $4.90 billion. According to the letter, Disney combined Hulu + Live TV with FuboTV in October 2025 and took an approximately 70% interest in the combined operations, and Alisa Bowen, previously president of Disney+, became CEO in July of this year. The added scale helps spread operating costs and strengthens the company's ability to sell advertising, as Disney's ad infrastructure is now integrated and management reports better use of ad space and higher ad prices. The fund believes these improvements can make the existing subscriber base more profitable without requiring rapid subscriber growth.

- Why Pegasystems Stock Dropped After Earnings
Pegasystems shares slipped 3.6% by 1:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company reported Q3 results well below analyst forecasts. Analysts expected $0.49 per share on $421.8 million in sales, but Pegasystems earned $0.35 per share on a non-GAAP basis with sales below $393.4 million, and GAAP earnings were only $0.08 per share. Sales grew 3% year over year, GAAP profit fell 68%, and annual contract value rose 6%, which CEO Alan Trefler and CFO Ken Stillwell cited as grounds for confidence. The article argues free cash flow matters more to investors: the company generated $490 million last year and is running at about $438 million annualized, and Stillwell projects $700 million or more by 2028. The article calculates that this would imply near-term free cash flow growth north of 25%.
- Amazon Is Up More Than 2,200% in 10 Years. What's Next?
Amazon (AMZN) rose 528.33% over 10 years, from $41.55 to $261.07 in midday trading, so a $1,000 stake would be worth about $6,283.30. The base case projects $1,000 could reach about $2,021.20 by 2031, a 102.12% total return or 15.11% annualized, while one-year targets for 2027 range from $1,093.30 to $1,470.50. AWS revenue reached $42.2 billion in Q2, up 36.7%, with backlog at $496 billion, and the AI and chip businesses each have run rates above $25 billion. The main risks are roughly $200B of 2026 capex and free cash flow that fell 66% to $11.19B in 2025. Q2 GAAP EPS of $5.75 was inflated by $53.4 billion of non-operating gains, versus comparable EPS near $1.88, and the article stresses these are scenarios, not certainties.
- Will Rising Capex Weigh on Oracle's Free Cash Flow Outlook?
Oracle's capital expenditure in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 jumped to $28.5 billion from $8.5 billion a year earlier, pushing free cash flow to negative $5.4 billion even as operating cash flow hit a record $23 billion. Oracle reiterated fiscal 2027 capex of $90–$95 billion, with net cash capex capped at $70 billion, and has not set a timeline for FCF to turn positive after a negative $23.7 billion in fiscal 2026. The company plans to raise about $40 billion in debt and equity this year, including a $20 billion at-the-market stock sale completed in the first quarter, which dilutes shareholders. Remaining performance obligations rose $209 billion to $664 billion, and cloud infrastructure revenue surged 121% to $7.4 billion. By comparison, Amazon's trailing 12-month FCF swung to an outflow of $7.6 billion, while Microsoft still generated $19.6 billion in FCF, though down 23%.
- 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.
- The Truth About Netflix's Massive Stock Buybacks
Netflix reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter revenue of $12.87 billion, up 11.9% year over year, with operating income up 34.6% and net income up 43.9%, yet its shares fell as much as 6.7% on Wednesday morning. Barclays and Goldman Sachs cut their price targets and Needham downgraded the stock to Hold, mainly on weaker-than-expected full-year advertising revenue guidance and concerns over U.S. content comparisons. The company repurchased 63.9 million shares for $4.8 billion in the quarter, its largest buyback quarter ever, bringing year-to-date buybacks to $10.8 billion. The article argues the program follows pre-set free cash flow targets rather than signaling valuation, noting buybacks nearly dried up in 2022 when the stock was cheap and surged in mid-2026 as the price fell. Netflix has $22.3 billion of unused authorization, and as of Oct. 21 the stock was 48% below its yearly high, trading at 19 times trailing earnings.
- Ted Sarandos Says Netflix 'Could Do Better’ as YouTube, TikTok Threaten to Steal Viewers: Time to Take Shows and Movies 'To The Next Level'
On its third-quarter earnings call, co-CEO Ted Sarandos acknowledged that Netflix can improve its content strategy as it reshuffles leadership, cuts jobs and faces pressure to reignite growth. The company plans to focus on high-quality TV shows and movies and to expand its library by licensing more third-party content. Netflix faces intensifying competition from YouTube and TikTok, and has expanded into video games, podcasts and live events, though some analysts question whether these distract from its core entertainment business. Last week, it laid off about 1,000 employees, roughly 6% of its workforce; Peter Rice will replace Bela Bajaria as chief content officer, and Dan Lin is departing as film division head. Third-quarter revenue reached $12.874 billion, up 12% year over year, and EPS of 87 cents beat the 82-cent estimate, but the fourth-quarter EPS forecast of 67 cents fell short of the 73-cent estimate.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- 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.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
- 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.
