- Guidance Raise And Momentum - Garmin Stock Has Both
Garmin (GRMN) raised its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast to $8.05 billion from $7.9 billion and its pro forma EPS forecast to about $10 from $9.65, alongside its second-quarter results. Operating margin reached 30.4% in the quarter ended June, up from 26.0% a year earlier, helped by a better product mix and a $21 million tariff refund. The stock rose 15.2% since the close before the release, versus 4.4% for the S&P 500, but has slipped 1.8% since July 30 while the index gained 4.3%. To meet the forecast, third- and fourth-quarter revenue must reach $4.27 billion, up 9.7% from a year earlier, slower than the 12.7% first-half growth as BMW volumes have peaked. Shares trade at 29.9 times trailing twelve-month earnings, versus 23.0 for the S&P 500.
- New Apple TV and HomePod Mini Expected: What Matters for AAPL Stock
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple will unveil a new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini on October 13, with preorders expected this week and stores receiving the devices on October 30, though Apple has only confirmed the date through a teaser. The stock trades near $337 after falling more than 2.5% on October 9 on a Nikkei Asia report that Apple cut iPhone 18 Pro component orders. The Apple TV 4K will use an A19 chip and the HomePod mini an S10, both relying on Siri AI, while the HomeView smart home hub follows around mid-November. Revenue from Wearables, Home and Accessories fell from $41.24 billion in fiscal 2022 to $35.69 billion in fiscal 2025, while Services grew about 60% to $109.16 billion and now makes up 26.2% of sales. The author argues that a product refresh alone will not reverse this trend, and that the stronger case is the pull-through to Services, which TIKR's data cannot isolate.

- Hands-on with Apple's first touchscreen laptop: Touch is totally optional
Apple unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook Pro models at an event in Los Angeles. They still run macOS, and CNBC found touch fully optional, since the trackpad and keyboard remain the main inputs and the interface looks largely unchanged apart from tweaks such as an enlarged red window button. Apple says its software converts each touch into a standard click, and that third-party developers such as Microsoft and Adobe will enlarge their touch targets. The Apple logo on the lid lights up, the first Apple laptop to do so since the 2017 MacBook Air. Prices start at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and at least $3,399 for the larger one.
- NVDA Stock Edges Down On DOJ Interest In $12.9 Billion Hugging Face Acquisition
Nvidia shares slipped 1% on Wednesday after reports that the U.S. Department of Justice asked how its planned acquisition of Hugging Face could affect AI competition, including whether Nvidia could control a key distribution point for AI models and tools. The questions add to a years-long antitrust probe of Nvidia that began under former President Joe Biden and reportedly covers its acquisitions, investments, sales practices and whether it has pressured customers, with past deals such as SchedMD, Groq's licensing deal and Run.ai also examined. Nvidia announced in early September that it agreed to buy Hugging Face for about $12.93 billion, including roughly $11.9 billion payable to investors and an equity-based retention program of up to about $1 billion for employees. Jensen Huang has pledged that the platform will remain open to models, frameworks, clouds and computing platforms across the industry, and that Nvidia's chips will not be required to use it. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027.
- Google slumps amid fears of AI overspending
Alphabet, Google's parent company, saw its shares fall as much as 9% after hours after quarterly sales and profits missed Wall Street estimates, amid worries about AI overspending. Google spent $51.3bn between July and September, up from $44.9bn in the prior quarter, and reported negative free cash flow of $9.1bn, the second negative quarter since it listed more than 20 years ago. Earnings were $2.12 a share against expectations of about $3, weighed down by an $8.7bn loss on its equity investments including a large SpaceX stake, while revenue rose 25% to $127.6bn, slightly below the roughly $128bn analysts forecast. Microsoft, by contrast, rose as much as 6.4% after hours on stronger cloud performance, with revenue up 19% to $92.3bn and Azure sales up 48%. Separately, Anthropic has filed for a New York IPO that could become the world's largest ever, with a target valuation of around $1.5tn to $2tn, and plans to open shares to retail investors in the UK and parts of continental Europe through RetailBook.
- Not Space. Not Starlink. Here's My Top Reason to Buy SpaceX Stock.
The author argues that SpaceX's super intelligence (SI) division, which holds its AI data center platform, was formed from xAI and includes X, is the top reason to invest in the stock, more so than its rocket or Starlink businesses. SI revenue reached $7.56 billion in the third quarter, up about 830% from $813 million a year earlier and roughly three times the $2.56 billion from the second quarter. The division invested $16.4 billion in capital expenditure and posted a small operating profit of $431 million. This was the first report since SpaceX acquired Cursor in August, a deal that added to revenue and came with a $1.2 billion stock-based compensation cost, which the author says will not repeat.
- GOOGL Stock Slumps 11% After-Hours: Alphabet's Surge in AI Spending Pressures Third-Quarter Profits And Cash Flows
GOOGL shares dropped about 11% after hours as third-quarter profit was squeezed by heavy AI infrastructure spending and an $8.7 billion loss on its equity investment portfolio. Consolidated revenue rose 25% to $127.58 billion, while net income available to common stockholders fell to $26.17 billion, or $2.12 per share, below the $2.99 per share Wall Street expected. Google Cloud revenue rose 103% to $30.71 billion and its operating income reached $11.12 billion, which management linked to enterprise AI demand and sales of its TPU hardware. Free cash flow was negative $9.1 billion, the second consecutive negative quarter, and analysts polled by Fiscal.ai expect it to stay negative until the quarter ending September 2027. Alphabet also issued $28.7 billion of senior unsecured debt and raised $12.4 billion through its at-the-market share issuance program.
