- Microsoft Soars 7% to Record, Apple and Amazon Up 7% After Democratic Midterm Sweep
Microsoft (MSFT) rose 7% to a record after Democrats won both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterms, while Amazon (AMZN) gained 7% and CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 9% on worries that AI data-center build-outs could slow. The author argues Microsoft funds its build-out from its own cash, with about $60 billion of free cash flow over the twelve months to September. Amazon, by contrast, posted a $42.4 billion free cash flow outflow over the same period as it pays for AWS expansion, while CoreWeave needs customers to keep adding capacity to cover expected third-quarter interest expense of $860 million to $940 million. Microsoft's forward P/E was 25x at Tuesday's close, below its five-year average of 29x, and about 26x after the rally. However, its free cash flow fell to $18.6 billion last quarter from $25.7 billion a year earlier, and CFO Amy Hood guided capex above $50 billion for the next quarter.
- Amazon Rallies 7%, Apple and Microsoft Climb 5% as Big Tech Leads Post-Election Rebound
Big Tech stocks rebounded after a volatile U.S. midterm election night, with Amazon (AMZN) up 7% to $269.36 in the morning session, while Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) each rose 5%. Amazon's Q3 2026 AWS revenue grew 39% year over year to $45.98 billion, its fastest pace in nearly five years, though earnings per share of $1.89 missed the $1.96 expectation. ADP data showed private employers added 86,000 jobs in October, above the 67,000 economists expected, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell to its lowest level in a month. Alphabet rose 3% and Meta 2%, while NVIDIA fell 2% and Tesla 5%. The article notes that a one-day rebound does not confirm a bottom, with bears pointing to Amazon's trailing-twelve-month free cash outflow of $42.4 billion amid heavy AI spending and ongoing tariff and trade policy uncertainty.
- Apple, Microsoft hit all-time highs as Nasdaq surges 2% in post-election rally: AlphaCheck
Apple shares hit an all-time high, lifting its market cap above $5 trillion, while Microsoft rose 6% to a new record. The Nasdaq rallied more than 2% and the Dow surged more than 1,100 points, or about 2%, with most sectors higher after the Democratic midterm sweep gave the party control of the House and Senate. SpaceX and Tesla initially fell on worries about regulatory hurdles to AI data center buildout, but trimmed their losses as the broader market rose. Oil extended its decline on hopes for a diplomatic resolution to the Middle East war, with Brent down more than 2% to around $100 per barrel and WTI holding above $93.

- BitMart founder says security team ‘severely understaffed’ after new hack
BitMart founder Sheldon Xia said the security team is ‘severely understaffed’ after restructuring, as threats against employees and alleged retaliation by former staff complicated efforts to retain technical personnel. He described the amount in Monday’s hack as small without disclosing a figure, while Bitquery identified about $391,000 in suspicious transfers from wallets mostly linked to BitMart across three blockchains. Bitquery traced these funds to a wallet also implicated in the more than $46 million Mercado Bitcoin hack on Nov. 2. BitMart announced in July it would end trading on Aug. 26 and cease operations in January 2027, and it plans to seek court approval for its restructuring in December or January. Bloomberg reported that the T3 Financial Crime Unit, formed by Tron, Tether and TRM Labs, has disbanded amid a wave of industry hacks.

- Lundin Mining Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results, Delivering Strong Financial Performance Amidst Record Copper Prices
Lundin Mining reported its fourth consecutive quarter of revenue above $1 billion, reaching $1,109.2 million on a record realized copper price of $6.85/lb, with free cash flow from operations of $418 million and net cash of $237 million at quarter-end. Net earnings attributable to shareholders were $228.9 million ($0.27 per share), and adjusted earnings were $276.5 million ($0.32 per share). Severe winter weather and the Super El Niño season constrained open-pit mining at Caserones, prompting a cut in 2026 copper production guidance to 105–115 thousand tonnes from 120–130 thousand tonnes; the company says these are deferred tonnes rather than lost production. At Vicuña, the company secured a long-term Provincial Agreement with San Juan Province and received approval for a high-voltage powerline, with a sanction decision targeted before year-end.
