- Why Great Earnings Are Being Punished Right Now
ASML and Goldman Sachs both beat earnings estimates, yet their shares fell: ASML's GAAP EPS of $14.48 exceeded the $10.66 consensus on 55.2% revenue growth, while Goldman's EPS of $17.01 beat $13.65 and its shares are down 11.1% in a month. Jim Cramer attributes the moves to P/E compression rather than weaker earnings, calling it a valuation reset. JPMorgan's EPS of $5.57 on $50.9 billion in revenue was a rare miss, but its call was seen as less worrying, and the stock is up 4.1% year to date. The article notes that AI-related stocks, which Jim Bianco says make up 48.68% of the S&P 500's market capitalization, may mask weakness in other names. Cramer also argues that money is rotating from AI hardware into enterprise software.
- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are dominating the AI stock boom. Here's their edge
Fueled by the global AI stock boom, looser capital rules and greater lending to hedge funds, major Wall Street banks have already had a banner year in equities trading. The five largest investment banks generated about $67 billion in equities revenue through Sept. 30, $7 billion more than all of 2025. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley account for a combined $52 billion, nearly 80% of the total, with prime brokerage, which includes margin loans and securities lending to hedge funds, a key growth driver. At Goldman Sachs, equities financing rose 96% in the third quarter to a record $3.37 billion. Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, was the fastest-growing frontier for equities.
- 3 Bank Stocks Raised Their Dividends 10% or More This Year and Pay Out Less Than 30% of Earnings
JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs each raised their quarterly dividends by double digits this year, while paying out no more than 29.6% of third-quarter EPS. JPMorgan lifted its dividend from $1.50 to $1.65 per share, a yield of about 1.97% at $338.87, backed by $15.3 billion in quarterly net income, a 13.9% standardized CET1 ratio and roughly $30 billion of excess capital; it also cut buybacks to fund lending. The article warns that current earnings are helped by unusually good conditions, so the payout ratio would rise if returns fall back to normal levels. Wells Fargo raised its dividend from 45 to 50 cents, a yield of about 2.47% at $82.33, equal to 26.7% of $1.87 third-quarter EPS, with net loan charge-offs at 38 basis points. It had cut its dividend to 10 cents in 2020 and has since rebuilt it almost to pre-cut levels.

- Did Wall Street forget about Tesla's Cybercab?
Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi discusses Tesla (TSLA)'s Cybercab expansion and its relevance amid a possible merger with SpaceX (SPCX). Elon pointed to 2 million cumulative unsupervised robotaxi miles by quarter-end, Austin operating hours now run 6:00 a.m. to midnight, and more Cybercabs are expected in more cities in coming months. The Austin Cybercab fleet has grown by a factor of 10 since launch about a month ago. Tesla shares fell partly because the company cut capex by $5 billion, which Sozzi attributes to Optimus robot production bottlenecks rather than the Cybercab. He argues that with merger talks being explored, investors should start thinking of SpaceX and Tesla as one company.
- Crypto for Advisors: Stablecoins are ready for prime time
CoinDesk's Crypto for Advisors newsletter cites an EY-Parthenon 2026 Blockchain Payments Survey of 521 corporate and financial institution decision-makers. It found 18% of corporates have used stablecoins in production, double the 2025 share, while 15% report adopting tokenized deposits. Some 69% of financial institutions offer or plan to launch stablecoin services within two years, up from 30% in 2025. Cross-border business payments are the leading use case, and 45% of corporates and 53% of financial institutions favor using both stablecoins and tokenized deposits. Corporates strongly prefer blockchain payments integrated into existing banking interfaces (74%), and 63% would likely adopt them if offered by their current bank or payments provider.
- Is USA Rare Earth Stock a Once-in-a-Generation Reshoring Opportunity?
The article examines whether USA Rare Earth (USAR) can help the U.S. and its allies secure critical minerals, given China's dominance in rare-earth extraction and processing. China banned rare-earth exports in October 2025 in response to U.S. tariffs and chip restrictions; the ban was later temporarily lifted, though some Chinese companies have canceled U.S. exports, and China has also banned technology exports to USA Rare Earth and MP Materials. USAR shares are down roughly 15% in 2026 and about 74% from their lifetime high last October. Excluding the recently acquired Brazil-based Serra Verde, the company is essentially pre-revenue, though U.S. government supply agreements offer some pricing floor protection. With a market cap of roughly $4 billion and a target of about $1.8 billion in EBITDA for 2030, the author sees a worthwhile risk-reward profile for risk-tolerant investors, while stressing the stock is not low-risk.
- Nebius Declines 6% Despite Fresh Citi Financing; CoreWeave Drops 5%, Cloudflare Edges Higher
Nebius (NBIS) fell 6% to $162.03 despite a new senior secured credit facility from Citi, which matures in just under a year and is meant to fund data center development and GPU purchases while the company seeks longer-term asset-backed financing. CoreWeave (CRWV) dropped 5% to $58.86, while Cloudflare (NET) rose 2% to $313.35, with the article framing the selling as concentrated among neoclouds that rely on debt. A Barclays strategist noted that AI-spending credit stress has stayed largely confined to neocloud companies. Nebius has $37.5 billion in remaining performance obligations, $8.13 billion in capital spending, and three customers each accounting for a double-digit share of quarterly sales. The article says the Citi line adds to leverage concerns, making the timing and terms of the next financing a key test.
- How agentic AI shopping changes consumer staples: P&G CFO
P&G reported strong first-quarter earnings and reiterated its full-year revenue forecast. In an interview with Yahoo Finance, CFO Andre Schulten said that people using its products remains the core of the business, but the consumer's path to purchase is changing as AI agents buy on people's behalf, so P&G is proactively working out how agent-to-agent marketing works and how to distribute brand information. He said the company is also using decades of collected data and simpler algorithms to speed up molecule discovery, automate data extraction and analysis, and make forecasting more efficient. On marketing, he said algorithms weigh credibility, so P&G plans to publish and make accessible its scientific publications, independent studies and consumer reviews, an approach he believes gives big brands an advantage.
- SpaceX Just Became an AI Company. The Numbers Prove It.
SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue up 161% year over year to $14.6 billion and net income of $4.4 billion, making it profitable. Its AI segment, now called 'super intelligence (SI),' generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 830% year over year and 195% sequentially, making it just over half of sales and the largest revenue source. Connectivity remains the most profitable segment with $2.4 billion in operating income, versus $431 million for SI, which lost $1.26 billion last quarter. SI accounted for $16.4 billion of the company's $19.6 billion in Q3 capital expenditures, but the results should ease concerns that it is a money pit, as cloud agreements with Alphabet and Anthropic and $608 million of Cursor revenue since its August acquisition show the investments are paying off. The author notes the stock remains richly valued.
