Odds on Polygon-based Polymarket that Meta's Muse-powered AI glasses will be available by Oct. 31 have fallen to 21%, from 61% a month ago and 25% a week ago. Odds for availability by Dec. 31 dropped 10 percentage points in a week to 41%. Meta outlined the Muse plans at Meta Connect in September, but it suspended Muse's AI conversation-sharing feature after security researchers found public DNS records could expose thousands of shared chat links. Meta reports third-quarter results after the market closes on Wednesday, with analysts expecting revenue of $63.36 billion, up from $51.24 billion a year earlier.

- Mark Zuckerberg Says Meta Will ‘Build Superintelligence Through Scaling’ After $64.6 Billion Q3 Beat, META Stock Jumps After Hours
On the third-quarter earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Meta can 'build superintelligence through scaling' as larger models are already in training. The company plans to distill its models into smaller, more efficient versions for personal agents like Muse, which more than 10 million users in the U.S. and Canada have set up. Revenue reached $64.6 billion, above the $63.37 billion estimate, and adjusted EPS of $7.40 beat the $5.74 expected. Meta raised its 2026 expense forecast to $175 billion–$179 billion, including a $9.9 billion legal-related charge, and expects 2026 capex of $135 billion–$145 billion. Shares rose 2.17% to $712.65 after hours.
- Mark Zuckerberg Says Muse Could Out-Earn Facebook, Instagram Per User, But Analyst Warns It’s 'Losing' More Money Than Any Other Product Meta Has Launched
During Meta's third-quarter earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg said its app family reaches 3.64 billion daily users and Threads has surpassed X in monthly active users. He said more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada set up personal AI agents with Muse in about six weeks, with roughly 25% using it daily, and that shopping is its most popular use, with purchases averaging more than $200. Zuckerberg suggested Muse could eventually generate more revenue per user than Facebook and Instagram. Analyst Gene Munster, estimating around 10 million daily Muse users, warned the product is losing more money than any other product Meta has launched, while Futurum's Shay Boloor said it could create a new commerce business for Meta.
- Meta Q3 revenue tops estimates and Zuckerberg says Muse accounts have topped 10 million
Meta's third-quarter profit more than tripled to $9.86 billion ($3.83 per share), up from $2.71 billion a year earlier. Revenue grew 26% to $64.60 billion, above the $63.34 billion Wall Street analysts expected. Earnings were hit by a $9.89 billion charge tied to an $18 billion settlement with 48 US states; excluding it, EPS would have been $7.40. Daily active users across the family of apps rose 3% to 3.64 billion. Meta forecast current-quarter revenue of $73 billion to $76 billion, with the midpoint above the $73.65 billion analysts expect, and more than 10 million people in the US and Canada have set up Muse accounts.
- Mark Zuckerberg Called AI Agents Meta's Next Revenue Engine: Will Muse Deliver When Q3 Earnings Land
Meta launched Muse, a personal AI agent designed to handle tasks such as sending emails, selling a car and booking travel for users, after CEO Mark Zuckerberg identified AI agents as a source of the company's next products and revenue. A basic version is free, while subscriptions cost $20 or $100 per month for higher usage limits, and users can opt out of having their interactions used to train AI models. In the second quarter, Meta reported revenue of $60.8 billion, above estimates of $59.5 billion, but earnings of $6.18 per share missed estimates of $7.13. For the third quarter, Meta forecast revenue of $61 billion to $64 billion and full-year capital expenditures of $130 billion to $145 billion. Polymarket traders priced an 18% chance that Meta will beat third-quarter earnings expectations.

- Here's what is spooking investors as Meta stock stumbles
RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson says Meta shares are under pressure after earnings, with the language in the company's filing unsettling investors. He explains that Meta is issuing non-voting stock to fund billions in AI spending while preserving CEO Mark Zuckerberg's voting control. Erickson said the dilution level cited, nearly 800 billion, is probably well above the actual investment, and that the CFO described that language as boilerplate. He also noted the move lets Zuckerberg keep control and stay in California while a tax situation is being worked out.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them.
