- Apple Earnings, Midterms, Jobs Data Put Markets To The Test: 3 Charts To Watch This Week
This week, Apple's earnings on Monday, the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday and the jobs report on Friday will test whether last week's AI sell-off was a blip or the start of a broader pullback. Last week, Alphabet had its worst day on record, Amazon's outlook disappointed despite accelerating cloud growth, and Intel plunged nearly 29%; the S&P 500 fell 1.8% on Friday, its steepest one-day drop since June. Apple is expected to report EPS of $1.99 on revenue of $113.35 billion, with a gross margin forecast of about 47% to 48%, down from 50% last quarter. The 10-year Treasury yield is still hovering near 4.92%, and CME Fed Watch data show traders pricing roughly a 72% chance of a rate hike at the Dec. 8-9 meeting. Anthropic has also made its IPO paperwork public, with reports suggesting a listing before Thanksgiving, though no date is confirmed.
- Jobs, Midterm Elections, Apple, Palantir, McDonald’s, Moderna, and More to Watch This Week

- What To Expect In Markets This Week: AAPL, PLTR, AMD, SMCI, SHOP, Earnings, Jobs Report And More

- What to Expect in Markets This Week: Apple, Palantir Report; October Jobs Data Lands
This week, investors will hear from Apple, under its new CEO, and several tech companies supplying the AI buildout, while Palantir also reports. The previous week ended with a bruising selloff, and October jobs data is due out.
- Palantir’s Q3 Report To Test Stock Defensiveness Amid AI Panic — What Analysts Are Expecting
Palantir (PLTR) will report third-quarter results after the market closes on Monday, with its AI durability in focus as investors pulled back from AI-linked stocks in October. PLTR fell 1.5% over the month, less than the nearly 7% drop in the Invesco QQQ Trust. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue to rise 85% to $2.18 billion and adjusted EPS to rise 94% to $0.41 per share. Oppenheimer raised its price target to $235 from $200 while keeping an 'Outperform' rating, and JP Morgan initiated coverage with an 'Overweight' rating and a $262 price target. Per Koyfin, 21 of 32 analysts rate the stock 'Buy' or higher, and the average price target of $212.50 implies 15% upside from the last close, while Stocktwits retail sentiment remains 'bearish', unchanged from last week.
- Palantir Trades at 150 Times, Josh Brown Says. Monday’s Guidance Has to Do More Than Beat
Palantir (PLTR) reports third-quarter results after the close on Monday, Nov. 2, with Oppenheimer expecting a revenue beat and annual guidance raise, and J.P. Morgan initiating at Overweight with a $262 target for December 2027. Josh Brown said Palantir trades at 150 times, a figure close to its multiple on past reported earnings, while its forward P/E has climbed to 103x from 74x at the end of June. The article notes that 2026 consensus revenue of $8.22 billion is already above the top of Palantir's guidance range of $8.150 billion to $8.158 billion, so a routine raise may not move estimates much. It argues the fourth-quarter guidance is the key number, since the current outlook implies roughly $2.4 billion in Q4 revenue and must lift 2027 estimates, currently $12.4 billion in revenue and $2.35 in EPS, for the stock to grow into its multiple.

- Beta Technologies Beat Archer and Joby to an FAA First. Here's Why I'd Still Rather Own Archer.
Beta Technologies became the first eVTOL developer to secure FAA authorization for demonstration flights with potential customers on board, receiving an airworthiness certificate for market surveys on Oct. 21. The certificate does not allow carrying fare-paying passengers, and Beta focuses on cargo and medical supply transport while building a charging network. The author still prefers Archer Aviation because Archer plans both to manufacture aircraft and run its own air taxi service, while Beta mainly aims to sell aircraft, batteries, charging equipment and propulsion systems. He cites a 2021 Morgan Stanley estimate that eVTOL passenger transport could reach a $3.7 trillion market by 2050. He says both companies could succeed in the industry.
- Morning Minute: Binance Hack Leads to Mass Outflows While FBI Opens Probe
Binance suffered a hack that drained roughly $6.4 billion from hot wallets across about 10 blockchains, an attack attributed to the North Korea-linked group TraderTraitor. After reopening withdrawals, Binance has seen $3.64 billion in net outflows, according to QCP. Bitcoin ETFs saw $643 million in outflows on Friday, flipping October to -$515.9 million, while ETH ETFs posted -$1.61 billion for the month. Binance says it has set aside more than $6.34 billion to cover losses, and the FBI and Secret Service have opened probes. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said the hack 'proves our exact point' about unregulated offshore exchanges.

- AI agent disputes head to 'Internet Court' — and a jury of AI agents
GenLayer, an open delegated proof-of-stake network of validators connected to AI models, currently processes around 12,000 decisions per day in beta, with mainnet expected next month. Internet Court is a protocol that lets agents and humans sign contracts, with funds held in escrow until the terms are judged to have been met. A dispute is first judged by a randomly selected jury of five validators, each running a different AI model, and can be appealed to juries of 11, 23 and more, with finality typically within 30 minutes. The team argues that using many AI models rather than one reduces the bias of any single system, and the court's consortium has 35 members including ZKsync, NEAR, Consensys and UMA. GenLayer is used by Collective Memory to assess user-uploaded photos and by Argue.fun to resolve arguments.
- The Biggest Crypto Hack in History Just Happened. Here's What the $6.3 Billion Breach Means for the Crypto Market.
Binance said on Oct. 29 that hackers had stolen about $6.3 billion, which the article describes as the biggest crypto hack in history. After the announcement, Bitcoin fell 5.6% within 24 hours and BNB dropped 6.2%. Binance had a rainy-day fund worth around $1 billion and has set aside more than $6.3 billion of its own capital to restore affected customer balances, so direct losses appear covered. Tether froze more than $1.5 billion of USDT and Circle froze $800 million of USDC tied to the theft, and the article says the major blockchains themselves were not breached. More than $3.3 billion was lost to hacks and scams in 2025, and more than $8.7 billion has been lost in 2026 so far.
