Critical Metals (CRML) rose 4% to $6.80 in morning trading after President Donald Trump said large-scale oil, gas and mineral exploration is preparing to begin in Greenland, though he named no projects, operators or timetable. It is the only one of three closely followed U.S.-listed rare earth stocks with a project on the island, the Tanbreez project in southern Greenland, which the company says contains 19 critical elements and holds the only rare-earth exploitation permit there. Peers fell, with MP Materials down 2% to $41.71, USA Rare Earth down 3% to $10.95, and the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF (REMX) down 1% to $56.96. The article notes Critical Metals is a development-stage company with no operating revenue and substantial going-concern doubt, and that the gain rests on a broad policy signal until a formal program names Tanbreez.

- Opendoor and Zillow Surge 7% as Long-Term Rates Retreat; Compass Climbs 6%
Opendoor shares rose 7% to $2.14, Zillow gained 7% to $31.40 and Compass climbed 6% to $9.32 in morning trading as the 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.1%, lowering mortgage costs. Opendoor is most sensitive to rates because it buys homes onto its balance sheet, while Zillow and Compass earn transaction fees. The iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB) rose 4% and SPY only 0.1%, showing the rally is concentrated in housing transaction stocks. Opendoor's share of homes listed for over 120 days fell to 9% from 36% a year earlier, and home purchases rose 149% year over year to 4,378, though revenue for Q2 FY2026 fell 43.6% to $883 million. The company's loss of $0.17 per share, against an expected $0.02 loss, largely traced to stock-based compensation.

The article says Opendoor is most exposed because it holds homes on its balance sheet, and the share of homes listed for more than 120 days fell to 9% from 36% a year earlier. Its Q2 FY2026 revenue was $883 million, down 43.6% year over year, though its contribution margin rose to 5.8% from 4.4% and home purchases jumped 149%. Management repeated guidance for Q3 revenue growth of at least 20% year over year and a path to positive Adjusted Net Income by year-end. The shares started the year at $5.83, so the article calls the rally a reversal within a long decline.

- Netflix stock is down roughly 25% in 2026 as Q3 earnings loom
Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025. Investors are worried about slowing viewership, competition from YouTube, and live sports moving to Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. Last week Netflix cut about 6% of its workforce (roughly 1,000 employees) and named Peter Rice its new chief content officer, and five firms lowered price targets in October. Analysts expect EPS of $0.82 on revenue of $12.88 billion, up about 12% from a year earlier, in line with Netflix's own forecast.

- Cleveland-Cliffs Jumps 10% on Strongest Quarter in Three Years; Nucor and Steel Dynamics Edge Higher
Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) rose 10% to $13.29 after reporting third-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $612 million, beating its $575 million guidance and up sharply from $143 million a year earlier. Revenue of $5.61 billion missed the $5.72 billion expected, though sales rose 18.6% year over year on a higher average net selling price of $1,177 per ton and larger shipments. Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
