- US stocks nudge higher as SpaceX, Tesla and Nvidia climb
U.S. stocks drifted higher on Wednesday as strong profit reports from SpaceX and Capital One offset disappointing updates from Netflix and AT&T. As of 10:15 a.m. ET, the S&P 500 was virtually unchanged, the Dow was down 30 points (0.1%) and the Nasdaq rose 0.4%. SpaceX jumped 11.1% after posting a stronger-than-expected profit, and Elon Musk said the company had taken a step toward considering a possible merger with Tesla, whose shares rose 3.3%. Netflix fell 4.2% despite a stronger profit because its revenue forecast for the final quarter fell short, while AT&T dropped 5.6% on a growth outlook that missed expectations. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09% but remains far above its 3.97% level before the war with Iran, and Brent crude added 0.2% to $108.96 a barrel.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street Monday, recovering some of last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and the Nasdaq composite up 1.7%, while most other U.S. stocks fell. European indexes slid more than 1% after weekend protests raised the prospect of bigger government spending, pushing French bond yields up more than German ones. The 10-year Treasury yield edged up to 5.12%, though falling oil prices, with Brent down 1.4% to $108.35 per barrel, helped keep yields in check. Nvidia added 2.1%, CoreWeave rose 2.9% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and SpaceX gained 3.1% to $150.55, while Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% on a bigger-than-expected profit. Investors now await Wednesday's results from Meta Platforms and Lam Research for more clues on AI spending, while analysts forecast 29% profit growth for S&P 500 companies.
- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks bounced back on Wall Street after a steep slide last week, while the rest of the market and global stocks remained shaky. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, while many European indexes fell more than 1%, including 1.1% in Paris, after weekend protests raised worries about government spending and bond yields. CoreWeave rose 2.8% after tumbling 25.2% last week, and Nvidia added 1.3%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14% from 5.09%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002, raising borrowing costs for governments, companies and households. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.8% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit, while Brent crude rose 0.2% to $110.12 a barrel.
- AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop

- Wall Street Bets Big on AI at Six - Year Highs as Nearly Half of Fund Managers Predict a 2027 Crash
Bank of America's October 2026 fund manager survey shows the share of managers overweight technology rising to 37% from 30%, the highest since August 2020, even as about 45% expect an AI bubble by 2027. Ray Dalio has called the boom a “classic bubble” nearing its breaking point. Morgan Stanley projects AI-linked global bond issuance to approach $570 billion in 2026, nearly double last year's full-year pace, as Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, which are projected to spend $700 billion on AI infrastructure, increasingly turn to debt markets. Hyperscaler capital expenditure is expected to pass $1 trillion by 2027, while U.S. federal debt crossed $40 trillion on August 19, 2026. The article frames the earnings reports from Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon and Apple during the week of October 26–30 as a test of whether debt-financed AI is generating real commercial returns.
- 10-15-2026: Hot CPI and PPI, Yield Reversal, AI Angst + Staples Rally
The S&P 500 slipped about 1% this week as a hot core CPI print pushed yields sharply higher, but yields then fully reversed, offering equities no relief. Tech led the decline, falling roughly 4%, with memory stocks hardest hit amid doubts over AI spending and slowing growth at Anthropic. A hotter PPI and a miss on core retail sales then pushed 10- and 30-year Treasury yields down 15–20 basis points. Strong breadth lifted the equal-weight index, with Staples and Healthcare both up about 4%. Upcoming earnings include Meta, Tesla, IBM, SAP and Blackstone.

- Biotech stocks are surging. How investors can play the new drug innovation boom
Biotech stocks are rallying: the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) is up 24% through October 23, after a 28% gain in 2025, with two dozen of its 233 holdings more than doubling year-to-date. Moderna leads with a 587% surge, though its stock fell 18% after a leak of positive cancer-vaccine trial data. Analysts attribute the rally to clinical trial results, M&A, and technologies such as mRNA, genomics and AI, with about a dozen novel biologics approved by the FDA in 2025 out of 46 approvals and roughly 66 novel drugs in the pipeline. The Moderna–Merck melanoma drug showed a 42% reduction in recurrence or death when combined with Keytruda in Phase 3 and is targeted for FDA submission and launch in 2027. Gene-sequencing firm Illumina more than doubled this year, and 10x Genomics rose more than 300%.
- SpaceX's "Super Intelligence" Segment Just Made the Stock a Must-Own
SpaceX's 'super intelligence' (SI) segment, formerly its AI business, generated $7.56 billion in Q3 revenue, up 830% from $813 million in 2025 and well above $2.56 billion in Q2. Most of the growth came from AI models, including subscription platforms, and infrastructure, which rose from $2.56 billion to $7.02 billion; X ad revenue grew from $454 million to $538 million. The segment's capital expenditures reached $16.4 billion in the quarter. The author views the stock as attractively priced at current levels if growth continues, but argues that such a pace may be hard to sustain, and the stock gave back its roughly 10% post-earnings gain by Thursday.
- Top Blockchains Continue to See Rapid Growth in AI Agent Payments. This Is the 1 Crypto You Need to Buy Right Now.
Chainalysis reported 138.5 million payments on Base using x402, a payment protocol built for AI agents, up from 58,800 transactions as of Q3 2025. Over 87% of x402 transactions were between $0.0001 and $0.10, sizes too small for traditional networks like Visa and Mastercard because of fees and chargeback risk. Solana ranks second in x402 volume, has overtaken Base in daily activity at several points this year, and launched batch settlement, which BlockRunAI says saves more than $20,000 a month in fees. However, TRM Labs counted $52.7 million across 198.9 million settlements since March 2025, with about $25.6 million plausible after removing suspicious activity, so agent payments are not yet driving much economic activity. Solana's stablecoin supply hit a record $17.3 billion in September, and the token trades about 64% below its January 2025 high of $293.
- 5 of the Fastest-Growing Stocks in the Market
The article ranks five fast-growing stocks by latest-quarter revenue growth: Nebius Group (NBIS), CoreWeave (CRWV), AppLovin (APP), Robinhood Markets (HOOD) and IREN (IREN), and examines what investors are paying for that growth. Nebius's second-quarter revenue jumped 454% year over year to $582.3 million, but at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of about 46, the highest of the five, its growth is largely funded by cash, customer prepayments and outside financing. CoreWeave's revenue rose 112.5% to around $2.6 billion, backed by a $104 billion revenue backlog, and it trades at 6.0 times sales, but $640 million in net interest expense means its growth relies heavily on debt. AppLovin grew revenue 53% to $1.9 billion, funded by its own profits and cash, at about 16 times sales, while Robinhood's revenue rose 32% to a record $1.3 billion at about 23 times sales, though trading activity can fall sharply when markets cool. IREN's total revenue fell 26.7% to $137.2 million as Bitcoin mining declined, while AI cloud revenue grew tenfold to $70.5 million at about 19 times sales; the article suggests AppLovin could be the safest option because its growth is funded by profits.
- Down Roughly 50% From Its Highs, Is Netflix Stock Finally a Buy?
Netflix (NFLX) shares have fallen roughly 50% from their all-time closing high of $133.91 on June 30, 2025, following the company's third-quarter report. Before the report, Netflix fired its chief content officer and announced its largest layoff since 2022, hiring former Disney executive Peter Rice as it struggled to produce U.S. blockbuster shows. In Q3, revenue rose 12% to $12.87 billion and adjusted EPS jumped 49% to $0.87, above the $0.82 analyst estimate compiled by LSEG. Netflix guided Q4 revenue to $13.4 billion but trimmed full-year revenue to $51.1 billion and cut its ad revenue forecast from $3 billion to $2.7 billion due to a slower ad rollout. The article argues that at a forward P/E of about 17 times 2027 estimates, the valuation now looks attractive.
- Meta Just Unveiled a New Takeover Weapon — But There's a Catch
Meta Platforms plans to create a non-voting Class C share class that it could use to raise capital, pay employees and acquire companies as it spends heavily on AI. Shareholders will receive one Class C share for each Class A and Class B share through a one-time dividend, effective January 19, 2027. According to the SEC filing, the structure preserves CEO Mark Zuckerberg's control: he holds about 60.6% of the vote while owning roughly 13.4% of the company, and he can sell 20% of his new Class C shares right away. The filing flags two drawbacks: Class C shares are expected to trade at a discount to voting stock, which would cause more dilution for existing holders, and they cannot meet the voting-stock requirements for certain tax-deferred deals. Meanwhile, third-quarter capex of $34.91 billion left free cash flow at negative $2.12 billion, and Meta expects 2026 capex of $135 billion to $145 billion.
