Québec has granted Gold Fields' wholly owned subsidiary, Windfall Mining, a Certificate of Authorization to begin construction of the Windfall Project in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, following the Uukiimau Impact Benefit Agreement signed with Cree parties in June 2026. Bonterra Resources, Gold Fields' partner on the adjacent Phoenix JV, said the milestone reinforces the potential of the Urban-Barry camp to become a major gold mining district. Gold Fields has been the counterparty to the Urban-Barry JV since completing its C$2.16 billion acquisition of Osisko Mining in October 2024, and can earn a 70% interest by incurring C$30 million in work expenditures on or before November 2026.

- Northern Star Resources takeover: Gold Fields pushes $38 billion merger plan to institutional shareholders
South Africa's Gold Fields is taking its $38 billion bid for Northern Star Resources directly to Australian institutional investors, after Northern Star rejected it as “highly opportunistic.” The initial offer was 0.3125 new Gold Fields shares and $7.25 in cash per Northern Star share, a 22 per cent premium at the time, but Northern Star's shares are now more than 10 per cent higher than before the approach leaked, putting the offer at a discount to market. If the deal succeeds, the combined group would be the world's second-largest gold producer, producing 4.1 million ounces a year and controlling eight of Australia's 20 biggest gold mines. Gold Fields chief executive Mike Fraser wants the board to agree to the tie-up's strategic logic and open its books for due diligence, while chairman Michael Chaney says the proposal does not reflect the company's long-term value. Elliott Investment Management, which holds a 6 per cent stake, is also pressing Northern Star for sweeping changes.
- Northern Star Resources takeover : Gold Fields pushes $38 billion merger plan to institutional shareholders
South Africa-based Gold Fields is taking its $38 billion takeover pursuit of Northern Star Resources directly to Australian institutional investors, hoping they will pressure the board into negotiations after it rejected the offer as “highly opportunistic”. If the deal succeeds, the combined group would be the world's second-biggest gold producer, controlling eight of Australia's 20 biggest gold mines and producing 4.1 million ounces a year. The initial offer was 0.3125 Gold Fields shares plus $7.25 in cash for each Northern Star share, valuing the company at $38.7 billion with a 22 per cent premium. Chairman Michael Chaney says the bid is now below Northern Star's share price, which is more than 10 per cent higher than the day before news of the approach leaked. Activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which holds a 6 per cent stake, is one of the top shareholders Gold Fields is trying to win over.
- Why Bristol Gate Canadian Equity Strategy Bought OR Royalties Inc. (OR) After Gold's Pullback
Bristol Gate Capital Partners' Q3 2026 investor letter for its Canadian Equity Strategy said the strategy underperformed the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index, which gained 1.6% in the quarter, as market returns concentrated in a few large stocks and rising bond yields weighed on defensive and rate-sensitive sectors. The strategy reallocated capital into OR Royalties (NYSE:OR), a precious-metals royalty company, after gold fell more than 25% from its January peak. The letter cited the company's cash margin of about 97% and minimal debt. As of October 30, 2026, OR shares closed near $31.89, with a market cap of about $5.88 billion, after a one-month return of about -7.13%. Hedge fund holders numbered 29 at the end of Q2, down from 35 in the prior quarter.
- 1911 Gold intersects high-grade gold in infill drilling at True North
1911 Gold Corp said its underground infill drilling at the True North gold project in Manitoba intersected the modelled veins in all 30 holes. The best result was 14.86 g/t gold over 7.2 metres in hole UG16-26-102, which also cut 31.70 g/t over 0.6 metres in the V-1010 vein. The 30 holes totaled 6,483 metres, drilled from Level 16, 720 metres below surface, to target the L10 Zone. CEO Shaun Heinrichs said the program provides strong support for a potential mine restart decision in 2027, and the company expects the results to support an upgrade of resources ahead of an updated mine plan. An updated global resource estimate is due in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Several holes also found extensions of the V-1020 vein outside the 2024 mineral resource estimate boundary.

- Apple posts stronger-than-expected Q4 revenue in first earnings report for new CEO John Ternus
Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue above expectations, giving new CEO John Ternus, whose tenure began in September, a positive start, while several tech peers including Alphabet, Amazon and Intel posted disappointing results. The company earned $30.71 billion, or $2.10 per share, in the July–September period, up 12% from $27.47 billion, or $1.85 per share, a year earlier, including 5 cents per share from tariff refunds. Revenue rose 12% to $114.5 billion from $102.5 billion, beating analysts' average forecast of $1.99 per share on $113.4 billion in revenue, according to FactSet. Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said record iPhone revenue and strong growth in China show the resilience of Apple's business, and that its cautious approach to AI infrastructure spending helps preserve cash flow, while partnerships with Alphabet could strengthen its AI capabilities without the same financial risks as peers. Shares were flat in after-hours trading, after closing down 1.8% at $338.32 in regular trading.
- Why Franklin Electric Stock Raced 5% Higher on Monday
Franklin Electric (FELE) shares rose more than 5% on Monday after DA Davidson analyst Matt Summerville upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral and raised his price target to $135 from $105. Summerville pointed to the company's growing exposure to high-growth areas, including new products for data center infrastructure and critical minerals, and said its distribution business could lift segment margins and revenue growth. He also highlighted Franklin's relatively clean balance sheet. The author agrees the company is an under-the-radar beneficiary of hot industries, but notes that its core markets, which make up most of its business, remain vulnerable to rising interest rates and construction-industry downcycles.
- Micron Technology: Is This a Sign That Its Stock Has Already Peaked?
Micron Technology (MU) shares fell 5.78%, after an earlier rally driven by strong memory demand and the company's ability to raise prices; the stock crossed a $1 trillion market cap earlier this year but now trades near $940 billion. Its 30-day average trading volume has fallen significantly since peaking around late June, which the author cites as a sign that interest in the stock has faded. The stock's earnings multiple of 11 looks low, but the author argues it is skewed by very strong recent results, and that more supply could come online sooner than expected. With the stock up more than 1,000% over five years, some investors may simply want to cash out before it's too late, and the author says he would not buy Micron at this stage given the risks of cyclical stocks.
- Apple Q4 earnings call: Ternus breaks down 'excellent quarter'
Apple CEO John Ternus said total company revenue set records for the September quarter and the full fiscal year. iPhone revenue reached $57.6 billion, up 17% from a year earlier despite supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds, marking a September-quarter record and the company's best fiscal year ever for iPhone. Services, Apple's second-largest segment, posted an all-time record in the quarter and closed out its best year ever. Apple grew in most of the markets it tracks, setting September-quarter records in the Americas, Europe, Greater China and the rest of Asia Pacific, along with an all-time record in India, and it also set a record for upgraders worldwide.
- Why Wingstop Stock Keeps Going Up
Wingstop shares (WING) rose nearly 9% on Monday, extending their post-earnings gains after the company reported third-quarter results on Oct. 28. Revenue rose 5.3% year over year to $185 million on new store openings, with 76 net new stores bringing the total to 3,331 locations as of Sept. 26, including 2,787 in the U.S. and 544 franchised international locations. However, domestic same-store sales fell 5.4% as consumers pulled back on dining out amid rising gas prices and other costs, and the company lowered its full-year same-store sales forecast to a decline of 6.5% to 7%. Adjusted net income was $29.3 million, or $1.08 per share, above Wall Street's estimate of $1.02. CEO Michael Skipworth said the Club Wingstop loyalty program is helping to draw guests back, and the company plans to open as many as 450 net stores in 2026 while working toward more than 10,000 restaurants globally.
