- Bank7 : 3 Key Takeaways for Long - Term Investors
On its Q3 2026 call on Oct. 15, 2026, Bank7 (BSVN) reported organic loan growth and progress on its pending acquisition of Century Financial. The deal would bring low-cost core deposits from New Mexico to support lending in Texas and Oklahoma, and management expects this to make its net interest margin easier to maintain. Lending in core markets offset more than $130 million of unscheduled loan payoffs during the quarter. Systems integration is targeted for a July 2027 conversion, with at least 75% or 80% of the cost savings expected in the first quarter.

- AI CapEx And Earnings : What Happens When Growth Slows
Lance Roberts argues that AI capex and earnings are now so tightly linked that profits can suffer once spending stops accelerating, even if it does not fall. Goldman Sachs estimates that almost half of the S&P 500's earnings growth this year traces to AI-related spending on chips, servers, power gear and concrete. Hyperscaler capex is projected at $800 billion in 2026, $1.2 trillion in 2027 and $1.4 trillion in 2028, but year-over-year growth slows from 94% to 50% to 17%. Using Goldman's sensitivity, the author estimates that flat 2027 capex at $800 billion would imply S&P 500 earnings growth of only about 1.4%, versus 11% in Goldman's base case. He argues the key risk lies in the shrinking annual dollar increase in spending, which Goldman's path cuts in half in 2028.

- Bravo Expands Copper-Gold Footprint in Carajás, Brazil
Bravo Mining Corp. has acquired a 100% interest in the Canaã Copper project, covering about 6,185 hectares near Vale’s Sossego mine in Brazil’s Carajás region, to expand its copper-gold portfolio alongside the flagship Luanga project. The property includes two previously drilled prospects, Tapuia and Gueroba, where 27 historical holes totaling 5,009 m returned high-grade IOCG-style intercepts, such as 28.45 m at 2.43% Cu and 0.78 g/t Au at Tapuia. Bravo plans an 8,400 m drilling program, including about 5,300 m at Tapuia and 3,100 m at Gueroba, aiming to support a potential maiden NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. The historical dataset, including 2,287 soil samples and 460 line-km of airborne geophysical surveys, is currently being validated, and the property also has nickel potential at the Campo Grande target.
- Zelenskyy to meet with U.S. envoy as tensions with Trump mount
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Oslo, Norway, on Tuesday at Ukraine's request, alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. The meeting comes as tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump mount: Trump said Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about,' said it was time for someone else to negotiate for Ukraine, and said he would meet Putin and Xi Jinping about ending the war, a process that could exclude Zelenskyy. Earlier, Zelenskyy criticized U.S. restrictions on access to SpaceX's Starshield satellite services, which are critical to Ukraine's defense against Russian strikes, and said the U.S. had given no explanation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied U.S. responsibility, while SpaceX CEO Elon Musk blamed the U.S. government and Trump.
- NVIDIA Is Finally “Too Big to Fail.” Here’s Why Meta and Google Aren’t.
Semafor's Liz Hoffman argues that NVIDIA is so embedded in the AI ecosystem that the U.S. government would be more likely to rescue it in a serious financial crisis than Meta or Google, though she acknowledges this is a theoretical exercise and no rescue is guaranteed. NVIDIA generated nearly $97 billion in free cash flow in the fiscal year ended January 2026, funding both strategic investments in companies that depend on its infrastructure and shareholder returns. By contrast, Meta and Alphabet spent roughly 60% and 55% of their operating cash flow on capital expenditures in 2025, mainly for their own infrastructure. The article also notes NVIDIA accounts for roughly 8% of the S&P 500, so a significant deterioration in its financial position could affect a broad group of index investors.
- Miata Intersects 43.0 m at 2.42 g/t Au, Including 4.0 m at 17.11 g/t Au at Jons Trend and Confirms Continuity with Big Berg at Sela Creek, Suriname
Miata Metals has reported assays from 14 diamond drill holes in its ongoing 25,000 m program at the Sela Creek Gold Project in Suriname. Highlights include hole 26DDH-JT-025, which intersected 43.0 m at 2.42 g/t gold from 191.0 m, including 4.0 m at 17.11 g/t gold, and a shallower 25.6 m interval at 1.96 g/t gold, including 1.49 m at 17.51 g/t gold. Four holes drilled between existing discovery zones confirm continuous mineralization over 1.5 km from Jons Trend to Big Berg, which the company says is one continuous trend rather than separate discoveries. The system remains open along strike and at depth, and Jons Trend is described as having mineralization from surface to at least 250 m depth, with potential as an open-pit target.
- FORTUNE BAY COMPLETES GOLDFIELDS PROCESSING TRADE-OFF STUDY AND ADVANCES DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
Fortune Bay Corp. has completed a processing trade-off study by Ausenco for its 100%-owned Goldfields Gold Project in northern Saskatchewan, comparing on-site gold doré production with producing a gold-bearing concentrate for off-site sale and treatment. The study found doré production gives modestly higher gold recovery, while concentrate production offers a simpler initial plant, lower upfront capital, lower reagent use and higher capital efficiency, though it carries concentrate transportation and off-site treatment costs. The company considers concentrate production worth further evaluation, particularly in a staged development approach, and will combine these findings with recent metallurgical results and additional testwork ahead of a pre-feasibility study. With gold at about US$4,100 per ounce versus the US$2,600 base-case assumption in the 2025 PEA, the company says it is timely to reassess processing options, and compatibility with the existing environmental approval remains subject to regulatory confirmation.
