Halico, the Hanoi vodka maker, posted after-tax profit of nearly VND 5.5 billion in the third quarter, reversing a loss of nearly VND 4.4 billion a year earlier and marking its highest quarterly profit since its 2018 listing. Net revenue rose nearly 24% to over VND 29.2 billion, while cost of goods sold fell to VND 13.4 billion, lifting gross profit to about 2.7 times the year-earlier level. For the first nine months, after-tax profit was over VND 3.6 billion versus a loss of nearly VND 3.9 billion, though accumulated losses still stand at nearly VND 468 billion. Management expects full-year net revenue of about VND 128 billion and a pre-tax loss of nearly VND 5 billion, citing government restrictions on alcohol consumption, a planned increase in special consumption tax and intense competition.

- Michael Burry Says Anthropic’s IPO Filing Changes Nothing About His AI Bear Case — Flags Financial Risks Beyond The Tech
Michael Burry said Anthropic's IPO filing has not changed his bearish view of the AI trade, since better technology does not resolve his concerns about financing, infrastructure spending and growth. He cited leverage in the financing structure, the inability to plug in the latest chips, memory capacity shifting to HBM, and compression from smaller open-weight models, as well as financing timelines that do not match the investments they fund. He said the prospectus did not reflect developer-market changes from the end of Q2 and during Q3, or a pullback in tokenmaxxing, citing a report that Meta's Claude Code users fell from 60,000 to 30,000. Anthropic filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT, reporting $16.3 billion in first-half 2026 revenue and an $80.7 billion net loss, largely from a non-cash accounting adjustment tied to convertible financing, while its operating loss narrowed to about $693 million. Burry earlier said Anthropic's valuation could buy 78 profitable S&P 500 companies.
- Oil falls as renewed diplomatic efforts to end Mideast conflict ease supply concerns
Oil prices fell Tuesday as renewed diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-Iran war raised hopes of de-escalation, even as Iran-backed Houthis kept attacking Saudi Arabia. Brent for December delivery slipped 0.87% to $114.80 a barrel, and WTI for June declined 0.86% to $100.88 per barrel. The decline followed Monday talks in Tehran among Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan and Iranian officials, and Qatar, which has helped mediate between Washington and Tehran, also sent representatives. Losses were limited because a lasting resolution appeared fragile, and President Trump said he was approaching a decision on whether to strike a deal with Iran or intensify military operations.
- Meta Announces Pricing of Offering of Depositary Shares Representing Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and Offering of Class A Common Stock in Connection with Forward Sale Agreements
Meta Platforms (META) priced two concurrent public offerings: 250,000,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a 6.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, at $50 per depositary share; and $25.0 billion of Class A common stock at $625.00 per share, upsized from $22.5 billion. The underwriters of the depositary shares have a 30-day option to buy up to 37,500,000 more. Net proceeds from the depositary shares are expected to be about $12.5 billion (about $14.3 billion if the option is fully exercised), for general corporate purposes. The preferred stock accumulates dividends at 6.50% a year on a $1,000 liquidation preference per share and is expected to convert around August 15, 2029 into between 1.3620 and 1.6000 Class A shares, based on the volume-weighted average price over a 20-trading-day final averaging period.
- Nvidia, Chipmakers Face Higher Costs? TSMC Reportedly Plans Up To 20% Price Hike For Advanced Chip Packaging
Citing supply-chain sources, Taiwan's China Times reported that TSMC is preparing to raise advanced packaging prices by 10%–20% as surging AI chip demand strains capacity. The increase could raise costs for Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD and add pressure on the prices of Apple's (AAPL) iPhones and MacBooks. Demand for CoWoS packaging is expanding beyond GPUs to server CPUs and custom AI chips, with monthly capacity expected to exceed 130,000 units in 2026 and 200,000 units next year. TSM hit a record high on Oct. 5 but has since been caught in an AI-stock selloff, though it is still up 40.5% year to date. NVDA has fallen about 11% from its Oct. 6 record close but is up 16% year to date, while retail sentiment on Stocktwits was bullish for NVDA and AMD and bearish for TSM.
