- Pfizer Just Declared Its 352nd Straight Quarterly Dividend. Is the 6% Yield Safe?
Pfizer declared a $0.43 fourth-quarter dividend, its 352nd consecutive quarterly payout, which annualizes to $1.72 per share and a 5.9% yield, well above the roughly 1% average S&P 500 yield. The article asks whether the payout is sustainable, noting Pfizer halved its dividend in 2009 but has raised it every year since 2010. Eliquis and Xeljanz lose U.S. patent exclusivity this year, and Ibrance and Xtandi follow next year, which pressures revenue. Nurtec grew 18% in the second quarter, Lorbrena 37% and Padcev 23%, and free cash flow of about $11 billion over four quarters exceeded dividend payments by more than $1 billion. The author concludes that the dividend's durability depends on whether new pipeline drugs can replace the expiring ones.
- Prediction: IonQ Will Cross $100 Per Share in 2027 (It's Less Than $40 Per Share Now)
The author predicts IonQ could climb above $100 per share in 2027 from its current level below $40, after the stock fell about 20% this year and more than 60% from its above $84 peak a year ago. The author argues fault-tolerant quantum computing may arrive sooner, with several industry leaders now seeing 2029 instead of 2030, and that IonQ's trapped-ion approach, which holds a record 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, gives it an edge. IonQ expects to begin delivering its 256-qubit Superion 256 system early next year and already has several preorders. Analysts expect revenue to grow nearly 80% next year, and the author believes a successful launch could push growth above that forecast, making a small position worth considering.
- Google Just Started Paying SpaceX $920 Million a Month. Here's What That's Worth per Share.
Google has begun paying Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX, SPCX) $920 million a month for access to about 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, under a compute-rental deal running from October 2026 through June 2029. The article estimates the contract at roughly $11 billion a year, or about $30 billion over the 33-month term, which works out to about $0.83 in sales per share per year on SpaceX's roughly 13.2 billion shares. Compared with trailing 12-month revenue of $20.7 billion, the deal could lift yearly revenue by more than 50%. SpaceX also has an Anthropic deal worth up to $84.5 billion through May 2029. However, both contracts include 90-day mutual cancellation clauses, so the article warns against treating them as guaranteed long-term income, though they suggest the AI segment could become profitable.
- Bumble Soars 56% as Ithaca Holdings Agrees to Take It Private at $6.05 a Share; Match Group Advances 2%
Bumble shares rose 56% to $5.94 in morning trading after Ithaca Holdings agreed to take the dating app private in an all-cash deal valuing it at $1.3 billion. Ithaca is offering $6.05 per share, a 122.4% premium to the close before Bumble's sale exploration was first reported, and co-founders Ravi Gupta and John Hegeman will become co-CEOs after closing. Blackstone and founder Whitney Wolfe Herd have provided the shareholder approval the deal requires, so the outcome now rests mainly on closing conditions. The article notes Bumble's paying users have been shrinking and quarterly revenue has fallen for nearly two years, while rival Match Group, which owns Tinder and Hinge, rose 2% to $42.32.
- This Vanguard Index Fund Could Turn $500 Per Month Into a $1 Million Portfolio That Pays $15,000 in Annual Dividend Income
The article notes that median annual pay for full-time workers aged 25 to 34 was $60,320 in the second quarter, and suggests saving 20% of after-tax income for retirement. It projects that investing $500 per month in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) for three decades, assuming the S&P 500's 10.3% annual return continues, could grow to just over $1 million and pay about $15,000 in annual dividends. The fund has a 0.03% expense ratio, and the article cites Warren Buffett's advice that non-professional investors should own a low-cost S&P 500 index fund. According to S&P Global, fewer than 10% of large-cap funds beat the S&P 500 over the last 15 years. These scenarios assume similar future returns and are not guaranteed.

- Tesla Stock vs. the S&P 500: Which Investment Wins Through 2030?
The article argues Tesla trades at roughly 203 times this year's expected earnings and 13 times expected sales, a valuation that looks very expensive given gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected robotaxi rollout. The flying Roadster, slated for production in 2028, is unlikely to make a meaningful sales or earnings contribution before 2030. The author thinks a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of the decade, likely an all-stock deal, is more likely than not and would be a key factor in how Tesla stock performs against the S&P 500 through 2030.
- SpaceX surprises Wall Street with Oct. 20 earnings date — here's why
SpaceX (SPCX) will release earnings on Oct. 20 after the market close, a surprise since earnings dates are usually shared weeks in advance. Evercore ISI analyst Kutgun Maral says possible reasons include putting updated financials on record before new financing or getting ahead of major lock-up releases, though scheduling is also possible. Reuters reported SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy advanced Nvidia AI chips, including about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead. The lock-up schedule includes 1.30 billion shares two days after earnings, 329 million on 10/24, and a remaining 857 million tranche of the 180-day group.
- AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana
American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.
