- Cosigo Resources Completes Drilling Campaign at Taraira and Announces Non-Brokered Convertible Debenture Financing
Cosigo Resources has demobilized its drill rig from the Taraira Ridge crest to its base camp in preparation for a drilling campaign targeted for 2027. The recent campaign (Holes #26 to #30) brought cumulative drill coverage to 5.5 km of the 27-km ridge system, with Holes #26 (139.83 meters) and #27 (141.5 meters) reaching the greatest depths drilled on the property; the company stresses these figures do not indicate gold presence, continuity or grade. Core and RC chips are being prepared for dispatch to independent ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories, a process that may take as much as six weeks, while a multi-method assay program addressing coarse, uneven gold distribution continues. Separately, Cosigo announced a non-brokered offering of unsecured convertible debentures for gross proceeds of up to CAD$115,500, with 15% annual interest payable at maturity, a six-month term, and subject to regulatory approval.
- CII extends the distribution period for convertible bonds
CII (HoSE) has extended by 30 days the period for distributing convertible bonds code CII426001, an offering of nearly 67.2 million bonds to existing shareholders at a rate of 10 rights per bond, and is seeking State Securities Commission approval. The 25-year bonds pay 0% interest for the first 12 interest periods and 14.5% a year after that, and CII expects to raise about VND 6,720 billion for investment in projects. Registration and payment for the remaining undistributed bonds runs from 22/10 to 3/11/2026. HFIC, the Ho Chi Minh City State Investment and Finance Company, had registered to sell 27.4 million rights, but no investors registered to buy, so it still holds 27.4 million rights, equal to 4.08% of CII's capital. CII will also set 5/11/2026 as the record date for an extraordinary general meeting approving its 2027-2032 infrastructure development orientation.
- Strategy and Riot Fall 4%, Cipher Digital Declines 3% as MSCI Index Rules and Convertible Sale Weigh
Strategy (MSTR) fell 4% to $145.50, Riot (RIOT) dropped 4% to $14.94 and Cipher Digital (CIFR) slipped 3% to $9.75. Strategy's pressure stems from MSCI's new index eligibility rules, with financial tests taking effect at the November review, and the company was previously flagged as potentially ineligible, even as Bitcoin rose over 24 hours. Cipher Digital priced zero-coupon convertible notes to fund its Barber Lake data center, settling Friday. Year to date, MSTR is down 5%, CIFR down 34% and RIOT up 20%. The CoinShares mining ETF (WGMI) fell 2% while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) rose 0.2%.
- Cipher Digital Falls 5% as $850M Zero-Coupon Note Pricing Extends Slide; Applied Digital Declines 6%, IREN Drops 4%
Cipher Digital (CIFR) fell about 5% to $10.72 after pricing a private offering of $850 million in zero-interest convertible senior notes, extending a slide that followed a 13% drop in the prior session. Part of the proceeds will fund capped call transactions to limit dilution, while the rest goes to an additional equity investment in the Barber Lake data center, where an amended AI lab lease raised contracted revenue and doubled the base term. Cipher also plans to exchange part of an outstanding convertible issue for 40.7 million common shares. Peers moved lower too, with IREN down 4% to $33.37 and Applied Digital down 6% to $21.19.
- Cipher Digital Tumbles 14% on $850M Convertible Note Offering and Share Exchange; Applied Digital Drops 5%
Cipher Digital (CIFR) fell 14% to $11.20 in morning trading after announcing an $850 million private offering of convertible senior notes and a concurrent exchange of older debt for common shares. The exchange brings shareholder dilution forward, since each share issued expands the base over which future earnings are spread, rather than waiting for conversion or maturity. Applied Digital (APLD), another developer leasing data centers to hyperscale tenants, dropped 5% to $22.11. Bulls point to signed hyperscale leases, with the Black Pearl campus starting rent in August and Barber Lake expected to start in October. Skeptics worry that rising debt and a higher share count raise the bar lease revenue must clear, especially if campus delays occur.
- HFIC Fails to Sell CII Convertible Bond Subscription Rights
HFIC failed to sell its subscription rights to CII convertible bonds, equal to 27.4 million rights or 2.74 million bonds, between September 10 and October 6, 2026, as no investors registered to buy, so it keeps the full amount, equivalent to 4.08% of CII's charter capital. CII is offering nearly 67.2 million convertible bonds, code CII426001, to existing shareholders at a 10:1 ratio, priced at VND 100,000 per bond, with expected proceeds of about VND 6,720 billion. The 25-year bonds carry 0% interest for the first 12 interest periods and 14.5% per year afterward, and are expected to convert at 1:10 into shares priced at VND 10,000 each over 24 batches. Separately, CII revised the use of proceeds from bond CII425002 (ticker CII426028, VND 2,500 billion raised), cutting its planned capital contribution to Saigon - My Thuan Expressway BOT Co., Ltd. from VND 1,151 billion to VND 851 billion. The VND 300 billion shifted will repay principal on bond CIIB2426001 maturing October 14, 2026, which the company says will not affect project progress.

Latest news
- The real source of tech market volatility is cash flow, not credit default swaps
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi argues that the main driver of volatility in tech stocks is collapsing free cash flow at hyperscalers, not credit default swaps, since that cash will be used to repay the debt they take on to fund AI infrastructure. Citing Evercore ISI's Julian Emanuel, he notes the hyperscaler group of Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and SpaceX is expected to have free cash flow near negative $200 billion over the next year. Meta posted negative free cash flow in its third quarter for the first time since 2012, while SpaceX burned about $9.9 billion, and neither company signaled a slowdown in spending. Similar commentary is expected from Google, Amazon and Microsoft when they report this week, which supports Emanuel's view of more quarters of negative free cash flow.
- Nasdaq-100 comes onchain as Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launch first licensed fund
Janus Henderson and Centrifuge launched JQQQ, an issuer-sponsored fund on the Stellar blockchain that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, with Janus Henderson issuing and managing the fund, Centrifuge providing the blockchain infrastructure, and Nasdaq licensing the index. Unlike third-party stock tokens, the fund is issued by the manager itself, so investors are not relying on shares held in custody or separate instruments that track prices. Janus Henderson said its onchain investment platform now holds more than $1 billion across Treasuries, structured credit and equities. The launch highlights a growing divide between funds issued onchain by their managers and third-party tokens created without the underlying companies' involvement.
- 3 Reasons to Buy Meta Platforms Stock Before 2027
The article gives three reasons why Meta Platforms (META) may be an opportunity after a pullback: as of Oct. 22, the stock was about 18% below its September high of $779.82. Meta is rolling out Muse, its personal AI agent, which was downloaded by more than 10 million people in its first six weeks, across apps used by 3.6 billion people daily. AI-driven ad upgrades lifted third-quarter revenue 26% to nearly $65 billion, and management expects fourth-quarter revenue of $73 billion to $76 billion. Operating profit fell 37% due to a one-time $9.9 billion legal charge; excluding it, operating income rose 11% to about $22.9 billion. At about $650, the stock trades at a forward P/E of 21.5 on 2026 estimates, while planned 2026 capital expenditures of $135 billion to $145 billion are the main item to watch.

- Down Nearly 65% From Its 52-Week High, Has Rocket Lab Stock Become a Bargain Buy?
Rocket Lab (RKLB) stock closed just under $54 on Monday, down 64% from its peak of $151 in late May, before the SpaceX IPO reduced investor interest in space stocks. At a $34 billion market cap, it is far smaller than SpaceX, which is valued at about $2 trillion. The company's latest reported revenue was $234 million, up 62% year over year, and trailing 12-month revenue is $769 million. Its Electron rocket can carry payloads up to 300 kg, while the larger Neutron rocket can carry up to 13,000 kg, or 15,000 kg on expendable missions, though its first launch has been delayed until next year. The article notes the business remains unprofitable and its spending is likely to stay high.
- 800 VDC Data Center Power Architecture Market to Reach USD 59.76 Billion by 2034 as AI Racks Outgrow AC Power
