- Robinhood’s Tenev warns US tokenization uncertainty deters ‘serious assets’
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says uncertainty over how long US tokenization rules will last could keep investors from putting substantial assets into tokenized markets, even though the SEC has opened a temporary path through an innovation exemption. He says further rulemaking or legislation is needed to provide longer-term certainty, and Binance Research projects the tokenized equities market could reach $349 billion by 2030 under its base case, from $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15. In the third quarter, Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% year on year to $120 million and crypto notional trading volume fell 38% to $50 billion. By contrast, event-contract revenue rose sixfold to $173 million, and total net revenue rose 12% to a record $1.42 billion, below analyst expectations. Adjusted EPS was $0.60, missing estimates by 4 cents.

- Is Robinhood Stock a Buy About a Third Below Its Record High?
Robinhood shares trade near $97, about 35% below the all-time high of around $152 reached in late 2025, a bigger decline than Charles Schwab (about 15%) and Interactive Brokers (about 20%). The author argues the stock still looks expensive, with a price-to-earnings ratio of about 42x versus 16x for Schwab and 31x for Interactive Brokers, which makes value investors less likely to be interested. The company went public only in 2021 and has not been tested by a deep, prolonged downturn, while its customers, many new to investing, are using more margin (margin balances up 127% year over year in Q2 2026) and expanding into crypto and prediction markets. The author says the premium over peers could keep most investors on the sidelines until the company and its customers face a test on the scale of the Great Recession or the dot-com bubble.
- Should Robinhood Shares Be in Your Portfolio Ahead of Q3 Earnings?

HOOD shares rose 29.9% in the third quarter but trade at 9.88X trailing price/tangible book, above the industry's 2.95X. The article notes investors are weighing whether to act before the report or wait for more information.

- The New Competition Among Bank Cards
The article argues banks are increasingly competing on experiential privileges, such as early concert ticket access, rather than just cashback or discounts. VPBank is cited as an example: VPBank Mastercard holders can buy BIGBANG world tour tickets 3 days before public sale, along with a 200,000 VND discount at the pop-up store and access to soundcheck and meet-and-greet sessions. VPBank said it spent about two years negotiating to bring T1 to Vietnam. The piece also points to South Korea's Hyundai Card, which built a culture, art and entertainment ecosystem and has run its Super Concert series since 2007, turning its card into a membership pass. According to the article, this approach helps banks attract customers through personal interests and retain them for future events.
- The UK cuts energy bills, taxes banks and boosts defense in high-stakes budget
UK Finance Minister John Healey unveiled his first fiscal budget with measures to ease cost-of-living pressures, including removing standing charges on household gas heating bills, extending an electricity tax break through July 2027, and £100 ($133) payments for households in the four lowest local housing tax bands, costing £2.6 billion. The budget also removes tariffs on over 100 grocery products, raises the minimum wage by 3.9%, and provides £10 billion in support for Ukraine. Inflation rose to 3.5% in September on surging fuel costs, and markets expect the Bank of England to raise rates next month. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts £15 billion of fiscal headroom by 2029/30 and national debt reaching 81.7% of GDP by the 2032 financial year, while the government pledges to spend 3.5% of GDP on defense by 2035.
- The S&P 500 Is Approaching a Valuation Not Seen Since the Peak of the Dot-Com Bubble, and History Suggests a Crash Could Follow
The S&P 500 has more than doubled from its 2022 bear-market low, but its Shiller CAPE ratio hit 41, close to the all-time high of 44.2 at the dot-com peak. The U.S.-Iran conflict has closed the Strait of Hormuz, pushing WTI crude above $103 per barrel, and September CPI inflation rose to 3.7%, prompting the Fed to raise rates by 25 basis points. Higher rates also threaten AI infrastructure, with CoreWeave stock down more than 70% from its peak, Firmus canceling its IPO, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF down 27%. The author thinks further downside is ahead, though the S&P 500 was only 2.5% below its peak and volatility is normal, with a 10.7% compound annual return since 1957. Buying stocks during the scariest moments has been a winning strategy over seven decades.
- Nvidia Has The Best Chance to Breach $6 Trillion First So I Buy
The author keeps buying Nvidia, whose market cap stands at $5.26 trillion, arguing that AI demand still exceeds supply and that the company expects 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028. Q2 FY2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, and management guided Q3 revenue to $108 billion ±2%. Nvidia generated $96.58 billion in free cash flow in fiscal 2026, raised its quarterly dividend to $0.25 from $0.01, and has $99 billion left in its buyback authorization. The author argues Nvidia's valuation of about 44 times earnings is lower than AMD's roughly 211 times, with higher gross margins. Key risks include $279 billion in supply obligations, mostly memory for Vera Rubin, and days sales outstanding extended to 60 days from 45.
- Why Enphase Energy Stock Crashed on Wednesday
Enphase Energy shares fell about 15.5% in morning trading after third-quarter results missed expectations, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.41 on $293.3 million in sales versus analysts' forecast of $0.51 on $303.8 million. Sales fell 28.5% year over year, gross margin dropped 450 basis points to 43.3%, and operating income fell 90%. The company cited soft U.S. residential solar demand and summer seasonality plus continued weakness in some European solar markets. For the fourth quarter, management guided sales to about $240 million, a sequential decline, with gross margins likely below 40%. The author notes that at 30 times earnings, with earnings still expected to fall, they see little reason to own the stock now.
- Grading Dan Schulman’s First Year at Verizon: Customers, Cash and the Starlink Question
In the third quarter, Verizon added a net 406,000 postpaid phones, up 820% year over year, and 137,000 net accounts; consumer postpaid phone churn was 87 basis points, while promotional acquisition costs fell 41%. Adjusted EPS reached $1.31, up 8%, and free cash flow hit $7.8 billion, the highest since 2020; the company raised its adjusted EPS growth guidance to 7% to 7.5%. Revenue rose 1.5% to $34.3 billion while equipment revenue fell 9%, and debt totals $166.2 billion. On the Starlink threat from SpaceX, Schulman argued that in markets generating about 98% of its revenue, Verizon is 100% to a thousand times more efficient than rivals, while some commentators say the satellite threat is overblown.
