- U . S . stocks join global retreat as war drums start beating again
U.S. stocks, except the Dow, fell sharply on Thursday, dragged down by a sell-off in technology shares. The S&P 500 dropped 93.78 points (1.21%) to 7,663.39, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 694.00 points (2.60%) to 26,008.86, while the Dow Jones gained 10.76 points to 52,866.85.

In Wednesday's Asian session, Brent crude rose 1.1% to $110 a barrel and WTI gained 1.2% to $99, as investors worried about conflicting signals on efforts to end the U.S.-Iran war. Early futures trends pointed to a moderately higher open on Wall Street. Asian stocks ended mixed, with the Shanghai Composite down 0.60% and Japan's Nikkei up 0.85%. Last week's main U.S. economic news was monthly consumer inflation and retail sales data.
- Asian Markets Trade Mixed
Asian stock markets are trading mixed on Wednesday, following mixed cues from Wall Street overnight. Inflation worries tied to crude oil eased after reports of a possible U.S.-Iran peace deal mediated by Pakistan and Qatar. Asian markets closed mostly lower on Tuesday.

- US futures dip as AI sell - off returns and oil prices rise sharply

Benchmark US crude rose 2% to $100.55 a barrel and Brent gained 1.6% to $111.25, as uncertainty about the war with Iran keeps energy prices elevated. During the session, Meta Platforms, Micron and Intel fell, Halliburton rose after beating profit and revenue expectations, and Netflix plans to cut about 6% of its workforce, nearly 1,000 jobs. European indexes also declined as protests spread, with France's CAC 40 down 0.8%.

Latest news
- 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.
