ServiceNow and NVIDIA launched Arc, a long-running personal AI agent for enterprises, with general availability announced on October 22, 2026. Arc runs under a joint governance setup linking ServiceNow workflows to NVIDIA OpenShell and BlueField hardware controls, including hardware-enforced runtime policies and rapid kill-switches to limit ungoverned AI activity. The article ties the launch to ServiceNow's AI ACV expansion and security workflow plans. The clearest proof point to watch is whether ServiceNow discloses more AI ACV figures after the Q2 2026 US$1b mark and links a visible share of them to Arc and related products.

- Can ServiceNow (NOW) Keep Growing at This Size?
ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) closed at $145.36 on October 19 and has returned 45.77% over six months. Its annual revenue runs at $14.73 billion and grew 24.00% last quarter, helped by workflow software spreading from one department to another at low added cost. The article argues growth gets harder at this size, since each year requires selling more, and stock-based pay reached $1.96 billion in the latest year. Debt is 67.54% of equity, so demand rather than funding is the main constraint. At 27.78 times analysts' next-year expectations, the price assumes growth continues, and the article suggests tracking the absolute revenue added each quarter.
- ServiceNow Fell 20% Over a Year But This Wall Street Analyst Predicts 70% Gains From Here
ServiceNow trades at $145.33, nearly 20% below a year ago, even though its AI business has passed $1 billion in annual contract value. The average analyst target of $152.23 implies 4.7% upside, while Bernstein's Peter Weed has an Outperform rating and a $248 target, implying 70.6% upside. The stock fell from a 52-week high of $192.97 to a low of $81.24 as fears that AI agents would erode seat-based software hit the group, and second-quarter operating income dropped 54.75% to $162M. In the latest quarter, revenue rose 24.0% to $3.987B and EPS of $0.90 beat the $0.86 consensus. The author leans bullish but considers the consensus target a more realistic 12-month marker than the 70% call.
- SUSE Brings Sovereign Control to Enterprise Agentic AI with NVIDIA

- Better Artificial Intelligence Stock for 2026: C3.ai vs. SentinelOne
The article compares C3.ai, which sells enterprise AI applications, with SentinelOne, which provides AI-powered autonomous cybersecurity. In fiscal 2026 (ended April 30), C3.ai's revenue was nearly $250.3 million, down 35.7%, with a net loss of $470.4 million and negative free cash flow of $190.7 million. SentinelOne's fiscal 2026 (ended January 31) revenue reached $1.0 billion, up 21.9%, with a net loss of $450.7 million and free cash flow of about $75.9 million, though stock-based compensation equaled roughly 388.4% of operating cash flow. The article cites C3.ai's restructuring plan from February 2026 and long government sales cycles as risks, and SentinelOne's competition from larger vendors and reliance on Amazon hosting. It says SentinelOne trades at a lower valuation relative to sales, while C3.ai has no future earnings estimates.
- As AI Supercharges Hackers, Cybersecurity Stocks Split Into Platforms and Point Solutions
A CrowdStrike threat report says attacks by AI-powered hackers jumped 89% last year, pushing buyers toward single connected platforms rather than many separate tools. Even so, CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks are each down more than 13% from their record highs in early October, and Okta fell more than 7% this week after a report that OpenAI may buy a cybersecurity startup. The article attributes the selloff to valuation rather than lost customers or revenue, as many of these stocks trade above 100 times earnings after gaining over 100% in 2026. It separates platform players like CrowdStrike (Falcon Flex contracted value above $2 billion) and Palo Alto Networks (about 220 platformization deals in a recent quarter) from point solutions such as Okta, which mainly verifies logins, while noting SentinelOne, Cloudflare and Zscaler are harder to classify.

- National Assembly Deputy Nguyễn Việt Hà: Homebuyers Must Not Lose the Protection of Bank Guarantees
National Assembly Deputy Nguyễn Việt Hà (Tuyên Quang delegation) commented on the draft amended Law on Real Estate Business, asking for stronger protections for buyers of off-plan homes. He warned that the right to refuse a bank guarantee (Article 20, clause 3) could shift risk to buyers, and proposed barring waivers where a guarantee is mandatory; if the right is kept, refusal should be a separate, voluntary written confirmation given after full disclosure. He also proposed paying the remaining 5% (Article 20, clause 1, point b) upon receipt of the land-use right certificate, since buyers who have paid 95% of the contract value are unlikely to walk away. He further asked for clearer rules on deposit handling under 'the signed agreement' (Article 18, clause 6) so that such agreements comply with law, and commented on developers' obligations when transferring projects (Article 32, clause 1, point e).
- Alpha Completes Enlarged 2026 Drilling Program at Aburna Gold Project
Alpha Exploration (TSXV: ALEX) completed its 2026 drilling program at the Aburna gold project, totaling 8,910 metres, 2,410 metres more than the 6,500-metre plan. Results from the first two lab batches, covering 4,495 metres of RC and core drilling, include 19.00 m grading 3.18 g/t gold at the Northeast prospect (including 7.00 m at 7.09 g/t) and 31.00 m at 1.12 g/t gold at the new Obok prospect. The company says the Northeast footprint has expanded and Obok has been elevated to key prospect status. Only about 20% of the Aburna corridor has been significantly drilled, and Alpha expects to release more drill results in the coming weeks.
- TSX futures point lower following Meta, Tesla earnings
Canada's S&P/TSX 60 index futures fell 0.6% as oil prices surged and worries grew over AI investment, following earnings from Meta and Tesla. The S&P/TSX composite had closed up 0.6% at 36,324.99 points, its highest close since September 22. U.S. futures fell 1.0% for the S&P 500 and 1.7% for the Nasdaq 100 after the prior session's gains, which were lifted by strong results from SpaceX and Super Micro Computer. Meta reported higher-than-expected third-quarter revenue and guided current-quarter revenue to $73–76 billion, narrowing its capex forecast to $135–145 billion; Tesla cut its goal for annual sales to 5 million units by the end of the decade. Brent crude rose 3.0% to $112.08 a barrel on fears that U.S.–Iran fighting could flare up again.
- Tajiri Completes IP Survey at Yono Gold Project, Begins Shopping Drill Contract
Tajiri Resources (TSXV: TAJ) completed an expanded 3-D induced polarization (IP) survey at its Yono Gold Project in Guyana, including 50-metre infill lines to refine targets. The survey is the last major exploration step before its inaugural drill program, with processed results expected within two to three weeks, and the company has begun soliciting bids from drill service providers. Earlier trenches returned 32 metres at 1.1 g/t gold (YTR-3) and 19 metres at 4.6 g/t gold (YTR-4), including 2 metres at 41.3 g/t. Yono sits about 200 metres from planned open pits at the Oko West and Ghanie deposits, and Tajiri describes the coming drilling as a pivotal milestone.
- Walker River Announces Significant Gold Intercepts Including 2.07 g/t Au over 47.25 Metres at the Lapon Canyon Gold Project
Walker River Resources (TSXV: WRR) reported further assay results from its 2026 reverse circulation drilling at the Lapon Canyon area of the Lapon Gold Project in Nevada. Highlights include hole LC-26-175 with 2.07 g/t gold over 47.25 m (including 3.07 g/t over 30.48 m), LC-26-179 with 2.02 g/t over 48.77 m, and LC-26-183 with 3.63 g/t over 12.19 m. Some holes were affected by drilling conditions, with LC-26-186 stopped at 64.01 m due to ground conditions. Gold mineralization was also found in monzonite intrusive rocks, raising the possibility of a broader intrusive-related system, and elevated copper values provide an additional exploration vector, though further mapping, geochemistry and drilling are needed.
- After Lê Việt Cường's Arrest, Company Reports Q3 Profit Doubling Year-on-Year
Quảng Ninh Thermal Power JSC (QTP) reported Q3 2026 sales revenue of about 2,815 billion VND, up roughly 37%, and profit after tax of nearly 76 billion VND, about 2.3 times the same period last year.
