- Why Ambev S.A. Dropped Today
Ambev shares fell 15.5% on Monday, not because of company-specific financials but after far-left candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva unexpectedly won Brazil's presidential runoff against Flávio Bolsonaro, whom investors had been betting on. Ambev had rallied after Bolsonaro led the first round on Oct. 4 with 47% to Lula's 45%, but Lula won the second round 51.8% to 48.2%, the first time since 1988 that the first-round leader did not win. Lula has promised large welfare payments and may increase business regulation, which triggered a sell-off in Brazil's currency and bonds, raising inflation risk and reducing the value of Ambev's real-denominated earnings in U.S. dollar terms. Ambev trades at a 14.7 P/E and a 4.1% dividend yield, and the company reports third-quarter earnings on Thursday, Oct. 29.
- These 3 Oil Giants Make Money Beyond the Wellhead. That's Good News for Dividends
Oil prices fell 14% last year, yet integrated majors TotalEnergies (TTE), Chevron (CVX) and Exxon Mobil (XOM) kept raising dividends, helped by refining, chemicals and other businesses beyond the wellhead. Chevron yields 2.98% on a $1.78 quarterly dividend, its 39th straight annual increase, and generated $18.10 billion of free cash flow in Q2 2026 with low debt. However, its $7.12 annualized dividend exceeds 2025 EPS of $6.63, which the article flags as a risk if oil stays weak. Exxon Mobil yields 2.41% with 43 consecutive years of dividend growth and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.168, the lowest of the three. The article also notes that quarterly results can swing sharply, including a $3.88 billion derivative-timing hit in Q1 2026 that left net income at $4.18 billion.
- Elon Musk Warns of “Death and Consolidation” Across the AI Cloud Industry. Is SpaceX Really Different?
Elon Musk says debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers, and expects the 200+ neoclouds to face “guppy-level death and consolidation.” The article uses CoreWeave as an example, with unsecured bond yields jumping to 15% in recent weeks and credit default swap spreads above 1,100 basis points, implying more than a 50% chance of default within five years. Musk argues SpaceX's other revenue makes it a more attractive borrower, though the article notes Nebius just secured a $3.5 billion credit facility from Citi, suggesting lenders have not stopped financing the sector. The author says SpaceX faces less imminent risk than CoreWeave, but its AI bets remain unproven because the company is still spending far more cash than it brings in.
- SpaceX Locks Up $40 Billion for AI Chips as Musk Warns Most Neoclouds Will Die
SpaceX says it has closed about $40 billion of financing for GPUs, in which an entity managed by Apollo will buy the chips and lease them to SpaceX under a finance lease, with leases starting in the first half of 2027. Musk called it debt, although the filing describes a finance lease, and said debt markets have almost entirely shut off money for companies without substantial revenue outside AI data centers. He predicted "guppy-level death and consolidation" among the more than 200 neoclouds, while noting SpaceX is investment grade with Starlink and launch revenue. CoreWeave's shares fell about 30%, from $87 to $61, between September 30 and October 16, and its unsecured bonds yielded about 15% in mid-October. Chamath Palihapitiya expects more idle AI computing power in 2027 than forecasts assume, making it a turbulent year.

- Binance sees $3.64 billion in net outflows as withdrawals resume after massive hack
Binance reported $3.64 billion in net outflows after reopening withdrawals on Sunday, as customers rushed to move funds following a $6.3 billion hack. Between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. UTC, the exchange processed $4.65 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits. The net outflows equaled 2.1% of its $171 billion in total assets, based on its latest proof-of-reserves data. Most of the outflows happened in the first couple of hours, and withdrawal volumes have since stabilized, with services restored in phases across 15 networks while testing continues for the rest. The FBI attributed the hack to North Korean hackers known as TraderTraitor, and Binance said it had covered about 95% of the lost funds and would absorb the losses rather than pass them on to users.
- Binance net outflows surge to $5.8B as withdrawals resume after record hack
According to DefiLlama data, Binance recorded $5.8 billion in net outflows over the past 24 hours as customers withdrew funds after the record $6.3 billion hack. By 3:30 p.m. UTC, the exchange had processed $4.6 billion in withdrawals against $1 billion in deposits, resulting in $3.6 billion in net outflows. Binance said withdrawals surged initially but have since slowed and stabilized, and that the outflows were a small fraction of its roughly $171 billion in assets. By 12:36 UTC, withdrawals were enabled for tokens across 15 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and XRP Ledger, with USDT, USDC and Bitcoin the most withdrawn. On Saturday, Binance said it had replaced 90% of the lost assets using its corporate treasury, Secure Asset Fund for Users and futures insurance fund.
- SK Hynix Sees the Memory Shortage Lasting Through 2030. 2 Memory Stocks to Buy and Hold Until Then.
SK Hynix expects memory demand to keep exceeding supply through 2030, after posting record third-quarter revenue of 104.6 trillion won, up 328% year over year, with an 80% operating margin. Its long-term contracts with 14 major customers cover over 50% of total production capacity for 2027 and 2028, though quarterly revenue and profit growth is slowing. Micron expects supply to stay short of demand in 2027 and 2028 and has 26 multiyear take-or-pay agreements covering over 35% of its revenue through 2030, backed by $32 billion in financial commitments. The author argues both stocks trade below 6 times expected earnings, a price that implies profits will fall well before 2030, and points to the 2018 shortage, when SK Hynix's operating profit dropped 87% the following year. The author believes both stocks are worth holding until 2030 but expects at least one steep decline along the way.
- Vietcombank Unexpectedly Books VND 5,000 Billion in Provisions for One Bond Batch
Vietcombank booked VND 6,184 billion in provisions in Q3 2026, nearly 8 times the same period last year, with about VND 5,000 billion going to one corporate bond batch linked to an energy-sector client, which it provisioned in full at 100%. Vietcap said the bonds had been moved to non-performing loans from Q4 2025 without full provisioning at that time, and the move fell outside its expectations. Annualised credit costs for the first nine months rose to 0.75% from 0.20%, but excluding the bond batch, asset quality remained sound, with the NPL ratio at 0.71%. Core earnings grew, with nine-month net interest income up 34.5% to VND 57,179 billion and nine-month NIM reaching 3.02%, up 45 basis points. Vietcap said that despite the bond provision, Vietcombank should continue growing credit, NIM and non-interest income, supporting its profit outlook.
- Alkane Resources And 2 Australian Penny Stocks To Own
The article profiles three low-priced Australian shares screened for solid finances and insider alignment, and notes that 17 more penny stocks with similar traits are not covered. Alkane Resources is a gold producer anchored by the Tomingley mine, with reported revenue of A$936 million, and the article flags risks from running three mines in three jurisdictions, antimony price volatility and the large Boda-Kaiser capex project. Emerald Resources, based in Perth, is focused on the producing Okvau gold project in Cambodia, with a market cap of A$4.0 billion, earnings up 196.3% last year and a P/E of 15.5x. Genesis Minerals centres on the Tower Hill project in Leonora, which the article describes as near development, with reported revenue of about A$1.74 billion and a market cap of A$7.6 billion. For each company, the article's core question is how sensitive outcomes are to a single cost, grade or funding decision.
- Stock futures open a monster week after a $5 trillion AI wipeout
US stock futures edged higher Sunday evening ahead of a week packed with Apple earnings, the midterm elections and oil above $100. The biggest AI and chip stocks have lost about $5 trillion in value since Oct. 6, while about 625 other large US stocks added roughly $1.3 trillion. Last week the S&P 500 slipped about 0.6%, yet 9 of its 11 sectors still rose about 1% or more. One view holds the tech selloff could get much worse, while another points to history showing the S&P 500 has risen every time from the end of a midterm October through the following June since 1950. Apple and Palantir report Monday, while WTI crude settled Friday above $104 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut.
