JPMorgan downgraded Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) to Underweight ahead of its Q3 report, citing concern about possible pressure on net yield estimates for the second half of 2027. The stock has fallen 31.78% year to date and 33.82% over one year, though it rose 9.28% over the past month and closed at US$15.54. The most followed narrative assigns a fair value of $19.44, implying about 20% undervaluation, and expects fleet renewal to cut growth capex by about US$1b annually from 2028, which could free cash flow for deleveraging. A separate SWS DCF model estimates a future cash flow value of just $3.87, far below the share price, which the article frames as a question of whether reported earnings or long-term cash flows should be the yardstick.

- SpaceX Bulls Rejoice: JPMorgan Sees 209% Upside
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth more than doubled his SpaceX (SPCX) price target to $500 from $240 on Oct. 21, implying 209% upside, even though the stock is still well below its June 16 high. Third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, and SpaceX swung to $4.4 billion of net income from a $1.1 billion loss, with first-quarter 2027 revenue guided to $33 billion–$37 billion. Analysts' 2027 EPS estimate has risen to $2.25 from $0.65 three months ago, yet $500 equals 222x that figure, versus a consensus target of $223 as of Oct. 20. The article calls the target plausible but stretched, holding only if the annual recurring revenue forecast from CEO Elon Musk materializes, with capex of $19.6 billion in the third quarter and $35–40 billion expected in the fourth as key risks.
- JPMorgan Chase (JPM) Misses Third Quarter Earnings, Is The Upside Already Priced In?
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) missed third-quarter earnings expectations even as it reported US$15.3b in quarterly net income, while issuing a series of callable unsecured notes. The stock has cooled recently, with a 30-day share price return of 4.24% and a 90-day return of 2.29%, though it is still up 3.01% year to date at US$335.28. Over the longer term, total shareholder return was 11.79% over one year and has more than doubled over three and five years. The article suggests short-term momentum has slowed while the long-term record remains strong, and asks whether the share price already reflects most of the upside. A widely followed thesis puts fair value at $370.39, but the article flags risks such as higher credit losses in a downturn or lower rates compressing net interest income.
- Why Great Earnings Are Being Punished Right Now
ASML and Goldman Sachs both beat earnings estimates, yet their shares fell: ASML's GAAP EPS of $14.48 exceeded the $10.66 consensus on 55.2% revenue growth, while Goldman's EPS of $17.01 beat $13.65 and its shares are down 11.1% in a month. Jim Cramer attributes the moves to P/E compression rather than weaker earnings, calling it a valuation reset. JPMorgan's EPS of $5.57 on $50.9 billion in revenue was a rare miss, but its call was seen as less worrying, and the stock is up 4.1% year to date. The article notes that AI-related stocks, which Jim Bianco says make up 48.68% of the S&P 500's market capitalization, may mask weakness in other names. Cramer also argues that money is rotating from AI hardware into enterprise software.
- Goldman Sachs Group vs . JPMorgan Chase : Which Financial Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026 ?
The article compares Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase using FY 2025 figures. Goldman Sachs reported revenue of about $125.1 billion, down roughly 1.4%, and net income of about $17.2 billion, with a net margin near 13.7%. JPMorgan posted revenue of nearly $279.7 billion, up about 3.3%, and net income near $57.0 billion, for a net margin of roughly 20.4%. Since 2022, JPMorgan's average operating margin of 29.9% has exceeded Goldman Sachs' 19.5%, and the article describes Goldman Sachs as the more value-oriented stock on forward P/E and P/S. Both companies reported negative free cash flow in FY 2025, at negative $47.2 billion and negative $147.8 billion respectively.
- Goldman Sachs Group vs. JPMorgan Chase: Which Financial Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
This article compares Goldman Sachs (GS), which focuses on investment banking and institutional wealth management, with JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which runs a large retail and commercial network. In fiscal 2025, GS reported revenue of about $125.1 billion, down roughly 1.4%, and net income of about $17.2 billion, while JPM reported revenue of about $279.7 billion, up roughly 3.3%, and net income of about $57.0 billion. Since 2022, JPM has averaged a 29.9% operating margin versus 19.5% for GS, which the article cites as an advantage for JPM on profitability. On valuation, the article says GS appears more value-oriented based on its forward P/E and lower P/S ratio, although JPM has traditionally been the cheaper of the two.
- 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.

- Moody's holds steady on France's credit rating as country grapples with turmoil and higher yields
Moody's kept its credit rating on France at Aa3, which it still considers "high grade," but maintained the negative outlook on the country. The decision came as France, the euro zone's second-largest economy, faced a week of civil unrest and rising political risk. France's 10-year bond yield surpassed 5% this week for the first time since 2002, and investors had been awaiting the rating decision.
- Elon Musk Says a SpaceX-Tesla Merger Is a “Good Idea.” Here’s What Stands in the Way.
Speculation about a merger between SpaceX and Tesla is growing, with prediction platform Kalshi putting the odds of a deal before next May at 59%. On SpaceX's latest earnings call, Elon Musk said such a deal would be a good idea and that special committees at both companies are exploring a transaction, though they have not agreed on terms. Obstacles include Musk's roughly 85% voting control at SpaceX, the requirement for a 50% vote of all Tesla shares rather than just those that vote, and possible antitrust, national security and cross-border regulatory reviews. Gary Black, managing partner at the Future Fund, expects SpaceX to offer $420 per share for Tesla in an all-stock deal, implying only about 13% upside from current levels, and the article suggests much of the likelihood of a deal may already be reflected in Tesla's stock price.
- Will Apple Take Over Your (Smart) Home?
Apple has expanded its smart home lineup with security cameras, doorbells, indoor cameras and deadbolts, plus HomeView, a $299 smart home command center with a seven-inch screen. The hosts say the prices are high compared with existing services, with some items at $300 instead of under $100, and view the launch as incremental rather than a major new product. HomeView lacks an app store for streaming or games, requires an iCloud+ plan for video recording, and is currently blocked from EU markets because Siri AI restrictions are still being resolved. The hosts suggest the bigger opportunity may lie in services, since Siri AI in the home will have usage limits that users can exceed by paying more.
- Why RingCentral Stock Is Up Today
RingCentral shares rose 5% on Friday after the communications software provider raised its full-year free cash flow forecast. Third-quarter revenue grew 5.9% year over year to $676 million, and CEO Vlad Shmunis said AI represents an even larger opportunity than the shift to the cloud. Customers using at least one AI product now account for about 15% of annual recurring revenue, or over $400 million, with AI-based ARR doubling from a year earlier. Adjusted operating margin rose 1.9 percentage points to 24.7%, adjusted earnings jumped 18% to $1.33 per share, and free cash flow rose 21% to $157 million. For the full year, RingCentral expects revenue of more than $2.65 billion, EPS of $5.07 to $5.12, and free cash flow of roughly $625 million, which it plans to use to pay down debt and return capital to shareholders.
- Wells Fargo and five others object to OKX-ICE tokenized stock listings: Report
As of Friday, 22 companies had filed objections to having their US stock listings tokenized on OKXICE, the proposed platform of a joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the NYSE, according to Reuters. Wells Fargo, Arm Holdings and Intuit were the latest to object, joining Microsoft and Alphabet, which did so in the past week, and 6 more companies have reportedly objected. Of the 22 companies, 16 are listed on Nasdaq and 6 on the NYSE. The venture proposed tokenizing stocks of 62 companies when it filed with the SEC under the innovation exemption, while Nasdaq's September guidance warned that issuers must be cautious. OKXICE co-chair Andrew Cuomo said he expects more objections as companies avoid being the first to test the model.
- Canadian news publishers want Meta to scrap new terms of service over AI training concerns
A coalition of Canadian news publishers, represented by News Media Canada, is urging Meta Platforms to scrap new commercial terms of service. The publishers fear the language could let Meta use web crawlers to scrape content from linked sites to train its AI models. Meta has removed the wording and delayed the implementation date, but News Media Canada says the revised terms still do not limit how collected content may be used, and it has asked the Canadian government to intervene. Meta says its use of web crawlers has not changed and that content owners can still use robots.txt to set their preferences, though publishers say blocking crawlers is impractical because they need Meta's ad crawlers. Competition regulators in the UK and EU have received complaints, and the News/Media Alliance, representing over 2,000 U.S. publishers, has asked Meta to withdraw the terms.
