- 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.

- Bank of America (BAC): Is Its Wealth Business More Valuable Than the Headline Bank Suggests?
This article examines Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC)’s wealth business in Q2 2026, where net income reached $1.41 billion, about 16% of group earnings. Wealth revenue rose 16% to $6.87 billion and pretax margin improved to 27% from 22%, but net client flows were $13.7 billion versus $14.3 billion a year earlier. Most of the $212 billion increase in wealth assets under management came from market valuation changes ($198.3 billion) rather than net inflows. BAC carried an approximately 11x forward P/E in a September snapshot, below roughly 14x for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), though its 17% return on tangible common equity trailed the peer’s 23% after excluding significant investment gains. The article concludes BAC looks fairly valued at 11x forward earnings, and that wealth improves diversification and profitability but is only part of the bank’s exposure.
- 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.

- What Is a Bitcoin-Backed Loan? Borrowing Against BTC Explained
The article explains that Bitcoin-backed loans let holders pledge BTC as collateral to borrow dollars or stablecoins, keeping their Bitcoin exposure and often avoiding a taxable sale, though rules vary by jurisdiction. Loan-to-value ratios typically range from about 30% to 70%, and borrowers face margin calls or liquidation if Bitcoin's price falls sharply. Lenders are either centralized companies such as Ledn, Strike, Unchained, Nexo and Coinbase, or DeFi protocols such as Aave and Morpho. The market has returned in a more cautious form since Celsius and BlockFi went bankrupt in 2022, with published rates still running from about 5.8% to 14%. Galaxy Research put total crypto-backed loan volume at $56.16 billion in Q2 2026, down 16.8% from the previous quarter.
- How Ukraine’s drone strikes on Russia crippled the world’s second largest diesel supplier
Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia on Sunday, setting ablaze an oil export terminal in St. Petersburg. According to Kpler, Russia's diesel exports fell more than 75% to 141,000 barrels per day in September from 608,000 a year earlier, as strikes on refineries and oil infrastructure rose to 31 in July from 11 in January. Kpler's Matt Smith said Trump's deal to boost Russian diesel exports is unlikely to work without an energy ceasefire. The national average diesel price reached $6.32 per gallon, nearly 75% above a year earlier according to AAA, while Middle East disruptions have cut global diesel exports by about 1 million barrels per day. The International Energy Agency expects diesel supplies to stay constrained well into 2027.
- AMD vs. Nvidia. 1 Metric Proves Which Is the Best Stock.

AMD's data center revenue rose 107% to $6.7 billion in Q2 and total revenue grew 50% to $11.5 billion, while Nvidia's data center business grew 117% to $89 billion and total revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion.

- Meet the Vanguard ETF That Just Bought SpaceX for the 4th Consecutive Month
The Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX) has added SpaceX shares every month since the company's June 12, 2026 IPO, lifting its holdings to 1,209,387 shares as of Sept. 30 from 632,077 on June 30. SpaceX is now the fund's seventh-largest holding, while major Vanguard market and growth ETFs have barely increased their holdings since June. The float is limited: about 2.3 billion shares have unlocked, or 17.5% of SpaceX's 13.18 billion outstanding shares, so its float-adjusted weight remains below what its $1.93 trillion market cap would imply. As more shares unlock, the article notes, SpaceX's float-adjusted weight should increase. Alphabet and Meta Platforms make up 47% of the fund.

- “Your money is still safe”: Reassuring message for Russians reveals what happened to the internet system
Attacks from Ukraine on Russian data centers in October disrupted dozens of services, from taxi and food delivery to banking and email. According to NetBlocks, connectivity to Yandex Cloud fell to about 30% of normal after attacks between October 8 and 11, affecting 84 cloud services. Yandex confirmed one data center was severely damaged, another was shut down and a third was disrupted, and has not disclosed the full extent of the damage or a recovery timeline. Yandex Pay was still only partly working as of Monday, and dozens of court hearings across Russia were also disrupted by technical problems. According to T-Invariant, all three of Yandex's supercomputers are likely also heavily affected, which could leave Russia years behind in the AI race.
