- We're adding a new, high-profile AI play to our Bullpen stocks to watch list
The article proposes adding SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk in 2002, to the Bullpen stocks-to-watch list. The company went public in June at $135 per share, opened at $150, peaked near $226, fell to about $105 in early August, and rebounded to the $140s. Its S-1 filing estimates a total addressable market of $28.5 trillion: $370 billion for Space, $1.6 trillion for Connectivity and $26.5 trillion for SI, formerly called AI. SI is the fastest-growing segment, with third-quarter revenue of $7.56 billion, up from $2.56 billion in the second quarter and $813 million a year earlier, while Anthropic's S-1 shows it has agreed to spend up to $120.5 billion on SpaceX compute over coming years. Starlink, the most profitable segment with $2.37 billion in third-quarter operating profit, added 1.6 million consumer subscribers, bringing its global base to just under 14 million, and SpaceX is expected to earn 32 cents per share in calendar 2026.
- Fed Holds Rates, but Two Officials Push for Hike as Polymarket December Odds Hit 82%
The Fed held rates at 3.75%–4.00% in a 10–2 vote, with Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack favoring a 25-basis-point increase; it was Cook's first dissent since joining the Fed in 2022. On Polymarket, the odds of a 25-basis-point hike in December rose to 82% from about 77% before the announcement, with more than $5.3 million in trading volume. Despite a weak September jobs report showing only 29,000 jobs added, the Fed said job gains kept pace with the workforce and unemployment changed little. Truflation forecasts September PCE inflation at 3.6% year over year, up from 3.4% in August, as gasoline and other energy goods rose 33.7% amid surging oil prices tied to the Iran war. The official PCE report and third-quarter GDP are due Thursday.
- 3 Reasons Micron Stock Could Keep Climbing From Here
Micron shares are up 218% this year but have fallen 27% since hitting an all-time high in June, and the author views the recent dip as an opportunity for long-term investors. In fiscal Q4 2026, ended Sept. 3, revenue rose 379% year over year to $54.23 billion, GAAP gross margin reached 86.8% versus 44.7% a year earlier, and net income jumped 1077.8% to $37.7 billion. Guidance points to about $61.5 billion in revenue for fiscal Q1 2027 at the midpoint, up roughly 351%. The author notes some estimates see the memory chip shortage easing only around 2029, and considers the 5.05 forward P/E reasonable. Assuming EPS compounds at 12% a year over five years with the P/E unchanged, the cumulative return would be about 76%.
- Chip Earnings Power Averages Higher as Nasdaq Volatility Cools Midweek
Over the week's three sessions, the S&P 500 rose 1.51% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.98%, helped by semiconductor and tech earnings, while the Dow added 0.62% to 52,536.29.

Meta Platforms reported revenue of $64.60 billion, up 26%, but the quarter included a $9.89 billion charge tied to an agreement with 52 attorneys general over teen mental health and social media litigation. Bank of America, Blackstone, Citi and Morgan Stanley announced a $63 billion financing structure for AI compute for Anthropic using Broadcom's technology, with deliveries starting in calendar 2027.
- Fed Holds Rates Steady Despite Rising Inflation, Two Officials Push for Immediate Hike
The Fed kept its benchmark rate at 3.75-4% after its October 28 meeting, saying inflation remains elevated and more data is needed to return it to the 2% goal. The decision was not unanimous: Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, preferring a 0.25 percentage point increase. Inflation has been above the Fed's 2% target for more than five years, and the PCE index is forecast to exceed 3% in September even excluding food and energy. The U.S. economy remains resilient, with low unemployment, steady consumer spending and AI investment supporting growth; the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow forecasts third-quarter GDP growth of 3.4% annualized. Observers are watching the November 3 midterm elections, while futures markets lean toward a rate hike in December.
