The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) will split 3-for-1 effective November 5, 2026, so each share becomes three and the price per share adjusts proportionally, while the total value of a position is unchanged at the moment of the split. The fund traded near $492 early Thursday after falling 12% over the past month, and it last split 3-for-1 on March 7, 2024. It is up over 55% year to date and about 72% over the past year, with an expense ratio of 0.33%. The article attributes the sector's rally mainly to AI data center spending, citing $298.5 billion in global chip revenue in the first quarter, up 79% year over year, though much of the growth came from average selling prices rising 57%. It suggests checking share count and cost basis after November 5 and tracking hyperscaler capital spending guidance.

- Meta stock drops more than 6% despite strong Q3 results, stock split
Meta (META) stock fell more than 6% on Thursday despite better-than-expected Q3 revenue, as investors kept pulling back from semiconductor and AI stocks over concerns about data center spending. Record revenue of $64 billion beat the $63.3 billion analysts expected, and GAAP EPS of $3.83 topped the $3.56 estimate, or $7.40 excluding legal charges tied to the teen mental health settlement. Meta raised the lower end of its capex estimate to between $135 billion and $145 billion from $130 billion and $145 billion, and it has $825 billion in other spending commitments. The company will issue non-voting Class C shares to Class A holders, effectively a 2-for-1 stock split, to help Zuckerberg keep voting control if California's Proposition 40 passes; the measure would impose a 5% tax on those with assets over $1 billion. Earlier, a New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in the state's consumer-harms case.
- Netflix Is Down 38% Since Completing Its 10-For-1 Stock Split. Here's Why the Sell-Off Is Worsening After Its Latest Earnings.
Netflix shares are down 37.9% since the 10-for-1 stock split was completed on November 17, 2025, as of the October 20 close. After its third-quarter 2026 report, the stock fell 5.9% to $64.62 in after-hours trading, which would mark a new two-year low. Revenue rose 11.8% year over year, and operating margin widened from 28.2% to 34.6%, but the company now expects $2.7 billion in full-year ad revenue, down from $3 billion, due to a slower rollout of ad product capabilities. Its 2026 revenue forecast of $51.1 billion sits 0.2% below the prior midpoint, and the article also points to competition from YouTube, a third price increase in under three years, and a valuation of 17 times 2027 earnings. Netflix ended the quarter with $8.19 billion in cash against $12.66 billion in long-term debt.

- SpaceX stock slips as tech trade tumbles
SpaceX (SPCX) shares slipped early Thursday, giving back more than half of Wednesday's 7.8% post-earnings gain as the broader tech trade fell after Meta's results and fresh headlines about the US/Israeli war with Iran. SpaceX guided fourth-quarter capex to $35 billion to $40 billion, up from $19.6 billion in the third quarter, and ended the quarter with $36.1 billion in debt; its CFO said the company is investment grade. Musk said a SpaceX–Tesla tie-up would be a “good idea,” but both companies have formed special committees, and insiders worry the resulting scrutiny could delay talks by several weeks. Bloomberg reported the companies aim to announce a deal in the first half of 2027, while JPMorgan more than doubled its price target to $500 from $240 and BofA raised its target to $275 from $235.
- Tesla earnings beat puts SpaceX merger speculation back in focus
Tesla reported third-quarter earnings of $0.48 per share, beating the $0.44 estimate on better automotive profitability, and cut its 2026 capex forecast to about $20 billion from $25 billion. Bank of America said more than 75% of North American customers opted for paid FSD at delivery, up from more than 55% in the second quarter, and Tesla now has over 1.7 million paid FSD users worldwide. The company is nearly sold out of Megapacks for 2027 and has started producing Optimus robots in Fremont, though reaching 20,000 units a week would take at least a year. Meanwhile, UBS said investor attention is largely focused on a potential SpaceX combination, and Tesla shares may stay sensitive to sentiment about any deal.
- Pepsi renews contract with Taco Bell days after KFC switches to Coke in the U.S.
PepsiCo and Taco Bell announced on Thursday that they have renewed their long-running partnership through 2036. The renewal came a week after Taco Bell's sister chain KFC said it would switch to Coca-Cola as its U.S. beverage supplier, a move seen as a symbolic win for Coke over its rival. A KFC U.S. memo obtained by CNBC said Pepsi remains an important partner for parent Yum Brands' international markets. Taco Bell has long served Pepsi-exclusive items such as Mountain Dew Baja Blast and Doritos Locos Tacos, and under the renewed deal its international markets, including Canada, the UK, Ireland and Thailand, will serve Pepsi products.
- Prediction: Here's What a $1,000 Investment in Archer Aviation Will Be Worth by 2030
Archer Aviation (ACHR), a developer of eVTOL aircraft, went public through a SPAC merger in September 2021 and opened at $9.90 per share the next day, but now trades below $4. The stock has fallen because the FAA has not yet approved its first commercial flights, the company trails Joby Aviation in certification, and it has little near-term commercial revenue, ongoing losses, high valuations, and lawsuits with Joby and Vertical Aerospace. Analysts expect revenue to rise from under $1 million in 2025 to $507 million in 2028, when the $3 billion market cap equals six times sales. The article's scenario assumes analyst estimates are met through 2028, 20% revenue CAGR through 2030, and 10 times sales in the final year, which would lift the market cap to $14.6 billion, nearly fivefold, but the stock could sink much lower if it misses near-term goals.

Speaking to CNBC’s “Money Movers” on Thursday, he said, “We’re going to have an amazing 2027.”
