The article argues that Rockwell Automation (ROK) is a better choice than Tesla (TSLA), as it benefits from factory automation and the reshoring of U.S. manufacturing. It notes the U.S. has nearly 300 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers, while Tesla is building its first batch of Optimus robots at Fremont and won't begin deliveries until at least the end of 2027. In the third quarter (ended June 30), Rockwell reported sales of $2.3 billion, up 8% YoY, with adjusted EPS rising 22% to $3.49 and an operating margin of 22.3%. The company saw strong growth in e-commerce, warehouse automation, and data centers, particularly in North America.

- Grab These ETFs to Capitalize on the Physical AI Wave
The article says AI is moving beyond chatbots into physical systems such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones and smart manufacturing, with the global physical AI market projected to grow from $1.50 billion in 2026 to $15.24 billion by 2032, a 47.2% CAGR according to Markets & Markets. It names NVIDIA, Tesla, ABB and Regal Rexnord as key players and says the industrial robotics segment could grow at a 56.7% CAGR through 2032.

- Rivian’s startup Mind Robotics hires former Ford EV chief Doug Field
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe’s startup Mind Robotics has hired Doug Field as president, giving him day-to-day control of product, engineering and operations while Scaringe remains involved. Founded last year, Mind Robotics has raised more than $1 billion from investors including Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, and the venture arms of Volkswagen and Salesforce, and is building robots and foundation-model software for industrial manufacturing. Unlike humanoid robots from Tesla and others, its robots won’t try to mimic all human biomechanics, and Rivian is its first customer and a high-volume environment for training and deployment. Field left Ford in April after five years shaping its EV and technology strategy, and previously led Apple’s canceled Project Titan and engineering for Tesla’s Model 3.

- Rockwell Automation Expands FactoryTalk Conductor with NVIDIA Nemotron Support
Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) said its FactoryTalk Conductor AI orchestration platform now supports NVIDIA Nemotron open models, giving manufacturers more deployment options. The approach lets companies keep engineering and production data in their own environments and retain control over infrastructure, governance and cost, while still using Rockwell-verified agents and skills. The platform lets users start engineering tasks through natural language and points toward agent-driven workflows in which engineers remain responsible for oversight and critical decisions.
- How QNX software is fueling BlackBerry's next act
QNX president John Wall tells Yahoo Finance's Brooke DiPalma how QNX's software is helping drive BlackBerry's next phase. He describes QNX as foundational software that sits between hardware and application software, similar to Mac OS or Windows, but designed for mission-critical uses where functional safety is paramount, such as controlling steering and braking in cars or turbine blade pitch in oil and gas. QNX holds safety and security certifications for these markets. Wall says robotics, industrial automation, medical devices, aerospace and defense now require the same safe, secure and deterministic software that automotive has long demanded. He notes NVIDIA's self-driving stack is based on QNX and that NVIDIA is adapting it for robotics, with QNX still as its foundation.

- Canada opens consultation on stablecoins, citing US GENIUS Act
The Canadian government has opened a 60-day public consultation on proposed regulations for stablecoin issuers that are not financial institutions, with comments accepted until Dec. 23. The draft proposes barring interest or yield payments, requiring redemption within three business days of tokenholder requests, and capping fees at 1% of the coins' total value. The rules fall under Canada's Stablecoin Act, passed in March, and are intended to take effect in fall 2027, when non-financial issuers would have to register with the Bank of Canada before issuing stablecoins. The framework aims to stay consistent with US and other jurisdictions' stablecoin rules to reduce the regulatory burden on multi-jurisdictional issuers. Meanwhile, the US GENIUS Act is scheduled to take effect in January 2027, and the EU's MiCA could give exchanges until January to halt services for non-compliant stablecoins, likely including Tether's USDT.
- AI Agents Found a Way Into Anthropic's Business Systems in Under 12 Hours
Cathedral, a cybersecurity startup founded by four former staffers of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), says its AI agents reached Anthropic's internal systems in less than 12 hours by exploiting weaknesses in third-party administrative and sales software rather than Claude itself. Anthropic confirmed access to a limited set of sales, HR and IT systems holding business contact details and basic user account records, but says customer conversations, Claude responses, source code and model weights were not reached. Anthropic said Cathedral overstated the national security implications and did not disclose all of its activity, while Cathedral said it kept data access to the absolute minimum. A senior Trump administration official, speaking anonymously, said the report has circulated in government and raised national security concerns.
- Will Bitcoin Hit $100,000 Before the End of 2026?
Bitcoin is down about 10% so far in 2026 and has not reached $100,000 this year, after falling below $60,000 earlier and rallying about 27% since the start of August. The recent rally was driven by concerns over U.S. debt and higher bond yields, which pushed investors toward Bitcoin as an alternative to the dollar. However, the price has recently slipped amid possible profit-taking and renewed fears about market stability. Bitcoin reached around $80,000 in May before giving back those gains. The author expects headwinds such as possible rate increases and a potentially split Congress after the midterm elections, which could hinder crypto-friendly reform, so he does not anticipate a return to $100,000 anytime soon.
- SoFi Stock Lost 82% Once Before, Then Rose About Sevenfold. It's More Than 50% Below Its High Again.
SoFi stock once dropped 82% before soaring 650% about three years later to reach new highs, but it now sits 54% below that peak after just a few months. Q2 adjusted net revenue rose 40% year over year to $1.2 billion, EPS increased from $0.08 to $0.12, and the company added 1.1 million members (up 35%) and 2.2 million products (up 42%), with 51% of new products coming from existing customers. Tech Platform sales keep declining after the loss of a major customer, and management did not raise net income guidance even though it raised revenue guidance. The stock trades at a P/E of 31 and a price-to-book ratio of 1.7, and it faces competition from legacy banks and digital rivals such as Ally, Happen and Nu Holdings. The author thinks SoFi could return to its previous highs but it may take time, and the stock could move when it reports earnings on Tuesday.
- Why Ambev S.A. Dropped Today
Ambev shares fell 15.5% on Monday, not because of company-specific financials but after far-left candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva unexpectedly won Brazil's presidential runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro, whom investors had been betting on. Ambev had rallied after Bolsonaro led the first round on Oct. 4 with 47% to Lula's 45%, but Lula won the second round 51.8% to 48.2%, the first time since 1988 that the first-round leader did not win. Lula has promised large welfare payments and may increase business regulation, which triggered a sell-off in Brazil's currency and bonds, raising inflation risk and reducing the value of Ambev's real-denominated earnings in U.S. dollar terms. Ambev trades at a 14.7 P/E and a 4.1% dividend yield, and the company reports third-quarter earnings on Thursday, Oct. 29.
- 1 Reason to Buy Meta Stock Now and Hold for the Long Term
Meta Platforms, which earns nearly all its revenue from ads, was down about 10% from its September high of $779.82 as of Oct. 22, despite 26% year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter. The author sees the dip as a buying opportunity because non-ad revenue from its apps rose 59% to $1.1 billion, driven by WhatsApp paid messaging and subscriptions, and Meta One has passed 15 million subscriptions and trials, growing more than twice as fast as the company overall. CFO Susan Li said new AI businesses could start contributing to revenue growth in 2027. The main near-term headwind is capital expenditures of up to $145 billion this year, and the stock trades at about 19 times analysts' 2027 earnings estimate, roughly in line with the S&P 500's forward multiple of 19.3.
