Royal Caribbean (RCL) shares rose 8% to $302.74 after third-quarter 2026 results beat company guidance, with adjusted EPS of $6.57 versus the $6.38 consensus estimate, while revenue of $5.59 billion rose 8.8% but came in slightly below estimates. The company raised its full-year adjusted EPS outlook to $17.85–$17.95, even though fuel costs and currency exchange rates ran above plan, and guided fourth-quarter adjusted EPS to $3.48–$3.58. Booking volumes have grown since the prior earnings call, and reservations for next year are running ahead of historical levels at higher prices, though part of the cost benefit reflects expenses shifting into the fourth quarter. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) rose 3% to $15.71 and Carnival (CCL) rose 2% to $27.36, while the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) fell 0.6%. The article says the rally appears largely company-specific, with rival cruise stocks rising far less.

- Cruise Stocks Rally While Energy Shares Slip: Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Rise 3%
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Royal Caribbean and Carnival shares each rose about 3% in afternoon trading, to $15.70, $289.20 and $27.17, while the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) slipped 0.2% to $67.67 and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) gained 0.3% to $768.82. The article ties the group's move to shared exposure to travel demand and operating costs, noting that fuel is one of cruise lines' largest expenses, so energy prices feed directly into costs. Carnival's Q3 FY2026 results, released on September 29, gave a positive read on demand, with CEO Josh Weinstein saying booking volumes were meaningfully ahead of last year and far outpacing capacity growth. Norwegian, the smallest of the three and the most indebted relative to its size, may be more sensitive to demand or financing swings, and its upcoming quarterly report will show whether results support the rally.

- TSLA Stock Rises As Cybercabs Overtake Model Ys In Authorized Texas Robotaxi Fleet
Data from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles shows Tesla's purpose-built Cybercab, a steering-wheel-free robotaxi, has become the majority of its authorized robotaxi fleet in Texas for the first time, with 544 of 1,051 vehicles. Model Y accounts for 507, a shift from early October when the registry showed 319 Cybercabs against 420 Model Ys. The data covers authorization only, not whether vehicles are operating or carrying riders. Cybercabs currently run only in Austin, while Tesla's robotaxis operate in Austin, Houston, Dallas and parts of Florida; Tesla said it is looking to add Cybercabs in Dallas next month. TSLA closed 4% higher on Tuesday but is down 9% year to date.
- Why Brown & Brown Stock Slumped by 5% Today
Brown & Brown's third-quarter revenue was almost $1.73 billion, up more than 7% from a year earlier but below the analyst average of $1.76 billion. GAAP net income rose almost 6% to $240 million, while adjusted earnings per share inched up nearly 2% to $1.07, short of the $1.09 consensus. The company cited a challenging rate environment of softening insurance premiums and said the Accession Risk Management Group acquisition, a $9.8 billion deal in 2025, helped results. Organic revenue, which excludes acquisitions, rose barely over 1% to $1.46 billion, pointing to weakness in the legacy business. The stock closed nearly 5% lower on Tuesday amid a broad investor sell-off.
- Penguin Solutions, Broadcom, FormFactor, Lattice Semiconductor, and AMD stocks trade up, what you need to know
Several chip and AI hardware stocks rose in the afternoon session after Broadcom reportedly secured $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic. Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's equity offering were seen as signs that tech capital spending remains robust. PENG rose 7.8%, AVGO 3.8%, FORM 5.9%, LSCC 5.2% and AMD 5.3%. The article notes PENG had dropped 9.4% five days earlier after warnings that component shortages and cleanroom constraints would limit chip equipment makers through 2027, citing Lam Research. PENG has had 69 moves greater than 5% over the past year.
- Investing $1,000 in Each of These 3 Stocks 20 Years Ago Would Have Created a Portfolio Worth $674,000 Today
The article calculates that a $1,000 investment in each of Nvidia, Netflix and Amazon 20 years ago would be worth about $674,000 combined as of October 26. Nvidia's stake would be worth about $383,000, with most gains coming in the past couple of years as generative AI took off; the chipmaker's operating profit totaled nearly $200 billion over the past four quarters, its market cap is around $5.3 trillion, and it trades at 28 times trailing earnings. Netflix's stake would be worth more than $161,000, but its stock has fallen this year on concerns about slowing growth and is trading near its 52-week low. Amazon's stake would be worth about $130,000, and its operating income last year reached $80 billion, more than six times the $12 billion of three years earlier; the stock trades at around 20 times trailing earnings. The author argues these growth stocks can still be good buys today.
- Western Digital, Allegro MicroSystems, Amtech, and Teradyne shares skyrocket, what you need to know
Several semiconductor stocks rose sharply in the afternoon session after Broadcom obtained $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic. Alongside Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's equity offering, the news signaled that tech capital spending remains robust. Among the gainers, Western Digital (WDC) rose 8.1%, Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM) gained 6.4%, Amtech (ASYS) added 5.1% and Teradyne (TER) climbed 5.6%. The article notes WDC has had 79 moves greater than 5% over the past year, and about 22 hours earlier the stock had gained 5.2% after Bank of America projected memory chip supplies would stay tight through 2028. Citing CNBC, the article says semiconductor fabrication equipment spending is projected to exceed $200 billion in 2027, as demand outpaces clean-room capacity and the availability of critical parts.
- Is Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) Cheap On Icon Drilling Results Or Already Priced In?
Benz Mining (TSXV:BZ) reported extensive drilling results from the Icon gold camp at its Glenburgh Gold Project in Western Australia, confirming repeated stacked high-grade gold lenses. The share price rose 11.03% on the day and 10.47% over the past week, but fell 15.62% over 30 days; it is up 180.38% year to date and returned 205.52% over 12 months. A valuation narrative cited in the article puts fair value at CA$6.28 versus a last close of CA$4.43, implying 29% undervaluation. The article notes the market values Benz above C$1 billion without a current maiden Mineral Resource, and the stock trades at 26.4 times book value versus 2.2 times for the Canadian metals and mining group. Risks include less of the Exploration Target converting into compliant ounces than hoped or weaker project economics in future studies.
