- Here are 3 big things we're watching in the stock market in the week ahead
The article outlines three key points to watch in the coming week: Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections, which will determine which party controls the House and Senate for the next two years; the jobs data; and a busy stretch of third-quarter earnings. Apple reports after the close on Monday, with expected revenue of $113.4 billion and EPS of $1.99, and investors are focused on gross margins as memory costs rise. Eaton (revenue of $8.5 billion, EPS of $3.54) is being watched for manufacturing capacity and margin expansion, while DuPont (revenue of $1.84 billion, EPS of $1.87) is in focus for organic sales growth and the effects of the war in Iran and oil and gas inflation on EBITDA margins. Qnity Electronics reports Wednesday, after its shares fell almost 20% since its early August earnings report.

U.S. stocks were higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq poised for back-to-back gains, as most major companies beat estimates and raised full-year guidance, though market reactions were mixed. Apple expanded its partnership with Qnity Electronics under its American Manufacturing Program, with Qnity producing advanced films for the variable aperture camera system in the iPhone 18 Pro; Qnity joined the program in March. Jim Cramer's Club calls the news incrementally positive but is not buying more shares, placing greater emphasis on Qnity's fast-growing data center business than on consumer electronics. Capital One reports after the bell, while Netflix, SpaceX and United Airlines also report Tuesday evening, and Meta reports Wednesday evening.

- Binance sees $3.64 billion in net outflows as withdrawals resume after massive hack
Binance reported $3.64 billion in net outflows after reopening withdrawals on Sunday, as customers rushed to move funds following a $6.3 billion hack. Between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. UTC, the exchange processed $4.65 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits. The net outflows equaled 2.1% of its $171 billion in total assets, based on its latest proof-of-reserves data. Most of the outflows happened in the first couple of hours, and withdrawal volumes have since stabilized, with services restored in phases across 15 networks while testing continues for the rest. The FBI attributed the hack to North Korean hackers known as TraderTraitor, and Binance said it had covered about 95% of the lost funds and would absorb the losses rather than pass them on to users.
- Binance net outflows surge to $5.8B as withdrawals resume after record hack
According to DefiLlama data, Binance recorded $5.8 billion in net outflows over the past 24 hours as customers withdrew funds after the record $6.3 billion hack. By 3:30 p.m. UTC, the exchange had processed $4.6 billion in withdrawals against $1 billion in deposits, resulting in $3.6 billion in net outflows. Binance said withdrawals surged initially but have since slowed and stabilized, and that the outflows were a small fraction of its roughly $171 billion in assets. By 12:36 UTC, withdrawals were enabled for tokens across 15 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and XRP Ledger, with USDT, USDC and Bitcoin the most withdrawn. On Saturday, Binance said it had replaced 90% of the lost assets using its corporate treasury, Secure Asset Fund for Users and futures insurance fund.
- SK Hynix Sees the Memory Shortage Lasting Through 2030. 2 Memory Stocks to Buy and Hold Until Then.
SK Hynix expects memory demand to keep exceeding supply through 2030, after posting record third-quarter revenue of 104.6 trillion won, up 328% year over year, with an 80% operating margin. Its long-term contracts with 14 major customers cover over 50% of total production capacity for 2027 and 2028, though quarterly revenue and profit growth is slowing. Micron expects supply to stay short of demand in 2027 and 2028 and has 26 multiyear take-or-pay agreements covering over 35% of its revenue through 2030, backed by $32 billion in financial commitments. The author argues both stocks trade below 6 times expected earnings, a price that implies profits will fall well before 2030, and points to the 2018 shortage, when SK Hynix's operating profit dropped 87% the following year. The author believes both stocks are worth holding until 2030 but expects at least one steep decline along the way.
- Vietcombank Unexpectedly Books VND 5,000 Billion in Provisions for One Bond Batch
Vietcombank booked VND 6,184 billion in provisions in Q3 2026, nearly 8 times the same period last year, with about VND 5,000 billion going to one corporate bond batch linked to an energy-sector client, which it provisioned in full at 100%. Vietcap said the bonds had been moved to non-performing loans from Q4 2025 without full provisioning at that time, and the move fell outside its expectations. Annualised credit costs for the first nine months rose to 0.75% from 0.20%, but excluding the bond batch, asset quality remained sound, with the NPL ratio at 0.71%. Core earnings grew, with nine-month net interest income up 34.5% to VND 57,179 billion and nine-month NIM reaching 3.02%, up 45 basis points. Vietcap said that despite the bond provision, Vietcombank should continue growing credit, NIM and non-interest income, supporting its profit outlook.
- Alkane Resources And 2 Australian Penny Stocks To Own
The article profiles three low-priced Australian shares screened for solid finances and insider alignment, and notes that 17 more penny stocks with similar traits are not covered. Alkane Resources is a gold producer anchored by the Tomingley mine, with reported revenue of A$936 million, and the article flags risks from running three mines in three jurisdictions, antimony price volatility and the large Boda-Kaiser capex project. Emerald Resources, based in Perth, is focused on the producing Okvau gold project in Cambodia, with a market cap of A$4.0 billion, earnings up 196.3% last year and a P/E of 15.5x. Genesis Minerals centres on the Tower Hill project in Leonora, which the article describes as near development, with reported revenue of about A$1.74 billion and a market cap of A$7.6 billion. For each company, the article's core question is how sensitive outcomes are to a single cost, grade or funding decision.
- Stock futures open a monster week after a $5 trillion AI wipeout
US stock futures edged higher Sunday evening ahead of a week packed with Apple earnings, the midterm elections and oil above $100. The biggest AI and chip stocks have lost about $5 trillion in value since Oct. 6, while about 625 other large US stocks added roughly $1.3 trillion. Last week the S&P 500 slipped about 0.6%, yet 9 of its 11 sectors still rose about 1% or more. One view holds the tech selloff could get much worse, while another points to history showing the S&P 500 has risen every time from the end of a midterm October through the following June since 1950. Apple and Palantir report Monday, while WTI crude settled Friday above $104 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut.
