- Jim Cramer reveals 3 stocks to buy — plus, why he is not selling the Intel plunge
The Nasdaq fell more than 2% on Friday as post-earnings declines in Amazon and Intel weighed, and is down 4.7% for October so far. Jim Cramer said he cannot justify selling Intel after its 28% drop on Friday, admitting he used poor judgment on the recent secondary offering, which CEO Lip-Bu Tan bought heavily into; Intel stock is still up nearly 80% year to date. He sees Amazon as a buy because things there are much better than they appear, and considers Starbucks a buy for its higher growth, with its drop of more than 2% possibly reflecting profit-taking after a strong run. FedEx Freight (FDXF) rose more than 13% after strong earnings, and Cramer views FedEx as a buy, though he may not chase its nearly 3% gain on Friday.
- Intel Drops 4% Ahead of Earnings as Foundry Hopes Fade; Alphabet Tumbles 12%, Microsoft Edges Lower
Intel fell about 4% to $92.04 ahead of its Q3 2026 report after the close, extending a 20% drop over the past month, after Elon Musk's Terafab confirmed talks with Taiwan Semiconductor about a dedicated fab, undercutting Intel's position as a central foundry partner. Intel Foundry revenue rose 31% to $5.76 billion in Q2 2026, but the unit still posted a $2.1 billion operating loss, and Bernstein models Q4 2026 revenue below consensus on weaker PC demand. Alphabet fell 12% to $284.82 after Q3 revenue of $127.58 billion, up 24.6%, slightly missed expectations, and EPS of $2.12 trailed the $2.97 consensus due to an $8.7 billion equity securities loss, while capex of $51.36 billion pushed free cash flow to negative $9.07 billion. Microsoft edged down 1% to $524.40 even as adjusted EPS of $4.89 beat the $4.72 consensus.
- Alphabet Sinks 11% as AI Spending Pushes Cash Flow Negative Again; Microsoft and Meta Edge Higher, Amazon Slips
Alphabet shares fell about 11% in early trading after its Q3 2026 revenue reached 127.58 billion USD, up 25%, but EPS of 2.12 USD missed estimates, mainly due to an 8.7 billion USD loss on its equity investments. Capital spending rose to 51.3 billion USD, pushing free cash flow to negative 9.1 billion USD, its second straight negative quarter; to fund the buildout, Alphabet issued 28.7 billion USD in senior unsecured debt and raised 12.4 billion USD through at-the-market stock sales. Google Cloud revenue grew 103% to 30.71 billion USD. In contrast, Microsoft reported revenue of 92.3 billion USD, up 19%, adjusted EPS of 4.89 USD above the 4.72 USD consensus, capex of 45.2 billion USD and positive free cash flow of 18.6 billion USD. Microsoft and Meta edged higher while Amazon slipped 2%.
- Alphabet Failed Wall Street’s New AI Test. Amazon Takes It Tonight.
Alphabet shares fell about 10% in premarket trading after its third-quarter results missed EPS consensus by 28.52% and ended a 12-quarter beat streak, even though Google Cloud grew 103%. Capex reached $51.36 billion, free cash flow was negative $9.07 billion, and management signaled a significant increase in 2027 spending. The article contrasts this with Oracle, which rose 11% after targeting more than $30 billion in annual free cash flow by FY2029. Amazon reports tonight with AWS revenue up 37% last quarter to $42.23 billion, a 39.4% operating margin, and a raised 2026 cash capex outlook of about $220 billion from $200 billion. The author is watching whether AWS holds near 37% growth and whether Andy Jassy gives a free cash flow recovery timeline, since he cited servers breaking even in a little less than three years but gave no date for free cash flow.

- Forget Rescheduling: Green Thumb's Cash Flow Is the Real Reason to Own It
Green Thumb (GTBIF), a multi-state operator licensed under U.S. state cannabis laws, is presented as profitable enough that federal regulatory clarity is not a necessary condition for its earnings. In 2025 the company reported GAAP earnings of $114.2 million, operating cash flow of $294.9 million and normalized EBITDA of $348.4 million, a nearly 30% margin, against a $1.4 billion market cap. It has repurchased about $203.4 million of stock and remains authorized to buy back another $62.3 million. However, first-half 2026 operating cash flow fell to $104.8 million from $130.7 million a year earlier, even though normalized EBITDA held at $84.3 million in second-quarter 2026. The article says full federal rescheduling, including ending 280E limits on deductions, could support profitability, though the stock has fallen more than 71% over five years and operating cash flow in the second half of 2026 bears watching.
- Reddit Stock Plunges 30% as Google's AI Search Hits Traffic and User Growth
Reddit shares plunged 30.44% to $90.15 on Friday, extending the weekly decline to 44%, after CEO Steve Huffman said Google search referrals dropped by more than 1 million a week in October, which he attributed to Google's AI features.

Daily active unique visitors reached 130.3 million, but U.S. users fell 2% to 50.7 million, and the company warned daily active users could drop by a low double-digit percentage in Q4 if the trend continues. To reduce its reliance on Google, Reddit plans to test requiring users to log in in selected markets outside the U.S. during the fourth quarter.
