Johnson & Johnson has launched the Shockwave C2 Aero Fly Coronary IVL catheter in the U.S., designed to treat calcified coronary artery lesions in half the time of previous coronary IVL devices. The catheter delivers pulses at double the speed and cuts pause time between cycles to five seconds, reducing treatment time from 230 seconds to 115 seconds and lowering patients’ ischemic time. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally, affecting an estimated 315 million people worldwide. The device will be showcased at TCT 2026 in San Diego, California, from October 31 to November 3, 2026.

- FDA Alert Follows Death Linked to Edwards Device - Orange County Business Journal
The FDA last week issued a safety notice for certain delivery systems used in Edwards Lifesciences' Sapien M3 transcatheter mitral valve replacement, after three balloon bursts occurred during inflation. As of Oct. 5, Edwards reported three incidents, including one death and one serious injury.

Since the Oct. 15 alert, Edwards shares (EW) have fallen 1.3% to $86.94, with a market cap of about $50 billion.
- Johnson & Johnson Raised Its Dividend Every Year. Why Did It Trail the S&P 500?
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has raised its dividend for 64 straight years, yet a plain S&P 500 index fund beat the stock over the past decade. A $1,000 investment 10 years ago with reinvested dividends would be worth $2,957.10 today, about $703 of it from dividends, versus $3,593.10 for the S&P 500 over the same period, excluding dividends. In the third quarter of 2026, about $7 billion in charges for a proposed talc settlement and two deals cut reported EPS to $0.09, while adjusted EPS was $2.59. The company expects $21 billion in free cash flow this year, but net debt is about $28 billion, and two recent deals are expected to cut 2027 adjusted EPS by $1.36; the article warns that if talc payments eat into free cash flow, dividend increases could shrink.
- 2 Dividend Stocks Crushing the Market in 2026 (and Which Ones Can Keep Going)
The article examines Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Amgen (AMGN), two dividend stocks that have outperformed the market in 2026. For J&J, revenue and earnings beat expectations and guidance was slightly raised, but its medtech unit faces weaker Impella demand and a Class 1 recall in the U.S.; the article still sees long-term prospects intact, citing new drug launches, the OTTAVA surgical system, a proposed $5.5 billion talc settlement and a 64-year dividend increase streak. Amgen's second-quarter revenue rose 10% to $10.1 billion despite FDA moves to remove Tavneos and falling denosumab sales after losing exclusivity. The article says growth drivers such as Tezspire, Tepezza and the MariTide obesity candidate could offset these headwinds.

- A SpaceX-Tesla megamerger could benefit both companies and Elon Musk's personal fortune
SpaceX shares rose 8% and Tesla 3.5% after Elon Musk said each company had formed special committees to discuss a possible combination. At current market values, the merged company would be worth about $3.5 trillion, the largest deal ever, and Musk argues it makes sense because both businesses rely heavily on artificial intelligence. Musk owns 11% of SpaceX and 19% of Tesla, and a change-in-control provision in Tesla's pay plan could treat many performance targets as met in a merger, which would make him richer. Although the shares are very expensive by most measures, most analysts still call them a bargain, and many work for banks hoping to win Musk's business. Democrats have called for investigations into SpaceX's federal contracts and could scuttle plans if they win big in next month's midterm elections.
- Netflix Is Down 38% Since Completing Its 10-For-1 Stock Split. Here's Why the Sell-Off Is Worsening After Its Latest Earnings.
Netflix shares are down 37.9% since the 10-for-1 stock split was completed on November 17, 2025, as of the October 20 close. After its third-quarter 2026 report, the stock fell 5.9% to $64.62 in after-hours trading, which would mark a new two-year low. Revenue rose 11.8% year over year, and operating margin widened from 28.2% to 34.6%, but the company now expects $2.7 billion in full-year ad revenue, down from $3 billion, due to a slower rollout of ad product capabilities. Its 2026 revenue forecast of $51.1 billion sits 0.2% below the prior midpoint, and the article also points to competition from YouTube, a third price increase in under three years, and a valuation of 17 times 2027 earnings. Netflix ended the quarter with $8.19 billion in cash against $12.66 billion in long-term debt.
- Where Will Novo Stock Be in 10 Years?
Novo, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, reached an all-time high in 2024 but has since faced clinical and commercial setbacks and lost substantial market value over the past two years. Its diabetes products, including Ozempic and Rybelsus, and its obesity drug Wegovy remain core, but U.S. patents on the active ingredient in these drugs expire in 2032, potentially opening the door to cheaper generics. Near-term catalysts include CagriSema, which could be approved by year-end and combines semaglutide with cagrilintide, though it fell short of the 25% mean weight loss Novo had hoped for. The pipeline also includes amycretin, UBT251, and several oral weight loss candidates. The author sees the pipeline as deep but warns of rising competition from dozens of weight-loss drugs, slower market growth, and possible U.S. drug price negotiations.

- Amazon logistics automation offers long-term margin gains, Jefferies says
Jefferies says Amazon's warehouse automation and expanding logistics network could lift retail margins long term by reducing labour dependence. Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots, but only 40% to 45% of its US small-sortable fulfillment centers are highly automated, leaving room for growth. A US$1 hourly wage rise would add about US$1.1 billion to costs, and Amazon has around US$27 billion of visible capex planned for automation and delivery. Jefferies sees third-party parcel delivery as a growth area, with US delivery stations possibly growing from about 575 to 950 by 2030 and early trials showing 20% to 25% savings for shippers. Grocery is harder given US$10 to US$12 delivery cost per order, though the broker sees potential in Amazon's planned Illinois hybrid retail concept expected in 2028.
- Why Super Micro Computer Stock Popped Today
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares rose 9.19% on Wednesday after the server maker announced preliminary results. It expects fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue of $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, well above its prior guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion and Wall Street's roughly $15 billion estimate, driven by rising AI demand. Gross margin is projected at 12% to 12.5%, up from 10.4% to 10.8%, due to a more favorable customer and product mix, and fellow server makers Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise also rose. The earnings call is scheduled for Nov. 3 at 5:00 p.m. ET.
