  • The economy brought Trump back to power. Now it's his downfall

    Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, ending the Republican Party's trifecta of power in the federal government as voters focused on the cost of living. The CNBC Voter Poll found nearly nine out of 10 voters said the cost of living was a crucial or major factor, and about two out of three said Trump's policies worsened economic conditions. Gas averaged $4.15 a gallon on election day, the highest for any midterm or presidential election since at least 2000, and prices have surged about 37% over the past year amid the Middle East conflict. Zandi estimated that higher energy costs since the start of the Iran war have cost the average household nearly $1,230, while rising borrowing costs and expanded military services added more than $900. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey fell in 2026 to its worst level in its seven-decade history.

  • Qualcomm stock drops 5% on weak earnings forecast as memory shortage weighs on smartphone sales

    Qualcomm's quarterly adjusted EPS of $2.17 and revenue of $10.32 billion slightly beat LSEG consensus, but the stock slid in extended trading. For the current quarter, Qualcomm forecast EPS of $2.15 to $2.35 and revenue of $10.4 billion to $11.2 billion, while analysts had expected $2.27 and $10.48 billion. Handset chip sales fell 26% to $5.14 billion as rising memory costs pushed up phone prices and hurt demand, though the company said it is seeing sequential growth. Automotive revenue soared 89% to $1.99 billion, IoT revenue rose 4% to $1.88 billion, and QTL licensing revenue dropped 7% to $1.3 billion. Qualcomm expects $5 billion in data center revenue in fiscal 2027, up from $650 million this quarter, and CEO Cristiano Amon said the constraint is supply, not demand.

  • Google Tells Schools They Can Reject AI—But They'll Lose Search, Too

    Google will disable its AI tools by default for K-12 student accounts unless administrators enable them, but schools that want to ban AI entirely will also lose access to Google Search. Administrators can switch Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom and Search on or off individually, but Google will not offer a version of Search without AI features, and from early 2027 schools that enable Search will get versions with AI Overviews, AI Mode or Guided Learning. Critics, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former FTC chair Lina Khan, accuse Google of using its search dominance to push AI into schools, a debate that comes as New York City's one-year moratorium on student-facing generative AI covers nearly 600,000 students. The move also comes amid antitrust scrutiny after a federal court ruled in 2024 that Google unlawfully monopolized the U.S. search market.

  • Why D-Wave Quantum Stock Led a Quantum Computing Crash in October

    Shares of D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) fell 35.7% in October 2026, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.9% over the same period. Other quantum computing stocks also dropped sharply: IonQ fell 31.5%, Quantinuum 30.1%, and Rigetti Computing 28.5%. The selloff followed IonQ's agreement to buy cybersecurity firm Elisity for $1.3 billion in stock and its $2 billion equity offering, which raised concerns about dilution as many quantum companies burn cash. D-Wave brought in $12.4 million of revenue over the last four quarters, down 44.2% year over year, while the stock is still worth about $3.9 billion, roughly 316 times sales. The company holds about $500 million in net cash and little debt, so it faces no immediate pressure to raise funds. Its third-quarter results are due November 10, and the stock is down 60.4% year to date and 68.2% below its 52-week high.
