- Vertiv Guides for 38% Growth, GE Vernova's Orders Jumped 96%. Which AI Power Stock Is the Better Buy After the Sell-off?
Vertiv and GE Vernova, both suppliers of AI data center infrastructure, beat Wall Street estimates in their third-quarter reports. Vertiv's revenue rose 61% year over year and it expects 38% organic growth for the full year, while GE Vernova's revenue rose 27% and its orders jumped 96% organically, with full-year revenue guided up 22%-25%. Both stocks remain well below their all-time highs from earlier this year (45% and 24% respectively), after the Fed raised benchmark rates for the first time in three years this September. Vertiv faces supply constraints and possible margin pressure from its UtilityInnovation Group acquisition, while GE Vernova's Wind segment remains weak and its planned Trench Group deal could compress margins. The author expects Vertiv's EPS to grow faster (49% CAGR vs 24% from 2025 to 2028) and notes it trades at 25 times next year's earnings versus 37 times for GE Vernova, so if forced to choose one, the author would pick Vertiv.
- Why Robinhood thinks we're at the beginning of a prediction market supercycle
Robinhood CFO Shiv Verma says prediction markets are attractive because they are simple, show probabilities clearly, span many asset classes, and make the brokerage and crypto businesses better. The company recently announced KPI contracts on Apple, such as iPhone shipments, revenue and EPS, letting users express specific views without taking basis risk. Verma says prediction markets are up seven times year over year, with volume of about 6 billion monthly or quarterly, versus about 10 billion a day in Robinhood's equities business. The product currently serves mainly US retail investors, but institutions are making inquiries and the company expects global growth; Verma believes each new product tends to be additive and that over a five to 10 year view the business could become as large as the US equities market.
- More Americans Have Tried Crypto, But Few Are Sticking With It: Survey
An Ipsos survey for the DeFi Education Fund found 22% of U.S. adults have ever owned or used crypto, up from 18% in 2025, but past-year use held flat at 13%, with growth coming mostly from people who had stepped away. Only 4% have high trust in crypto exchanges, versus 42% for large national banks, and only 19% say the financial system is secure. Just 2% of respondents are very familiar with DeFi, though 40% say they would be at least somewhat likely to try it. Interest in learning about stablecoins fell to 7% from 11%, and about DeFi to 8% from 11%, even after the GENIUS Act set federal stablecoin rules. The survey polled 1,545 adults from Sept. 8 to 16 with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

- Why higher yields are making bonds attractive again
J.P. Morgan Asset Management global market strategist Stephanie Aliaga said higher yields have made fixed income more attractive in portfolios. She noted clients are wary of the AI trade, though she sees its fundamentals, particularly AI-related revenue growth, as still robust, while the market is entering a more discerning phase where higher financing costs separate business models. She still views the outlook for risk assets as constructive but stressed the need for protection in portfolios, as past recessions were largely missed by forecasts. On the Fed's expected December hike and possibly another in Q1 or Q2 next year, she believes this is already priced in; if inflation cools and geopolitical tensions do not flare up, markets could see relief that might also help parts of the AI trade that had become overstretched.
