- What Would Warren Buffett Do With Nike Stock Down 38% in 2026?
Nike expects fiscal 2027 sales to decline by a high-single-digit percentage, and the stock has fallen 38% in 2026 as of the article's writing. Citing Warren Buffett's 1996 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter, 'If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes,' the article suggests shareholders evaluate their conviction in the stock. Investors who doubt a recovery may consider whether Nike still belongs in their portfolio and whether proceeds from selling its shares could fund a higher-conviction position, while those who expect a turnaround can give CEO Elliott Hill more time. The dividend yields 4.1% at the current stock price.
- Meta seeks to raise up to $25 billion in debt sale as AI spending jumps
Meta is seeking to raise between $20 billion and $25 billion in a bond sale on Tuesday as it steps up spending on AI infrastructure, models and services. The offering is expected to be about two-thirds in U.S. dollars and one-third in euros, with final pricing due Tuesday afternoon. It follows S&P Global Ratings' revision of Meta's outlook from AA- stable to AA- negative, citing uncertainty over its heavy capex and negative free cash flow. Meta's full-year capex is now expected at $135 billion to $145 billion, and the company plans to raise $95 billion for AI initiatives, including $35 billion through underwritten public equity offerings and $60 billion via an at-the-market program.
- Energy Transfer Just Delivered a Monster Quarter. Is Its High-Yielding Stock a Buy?
Energy Transfer posted a strong quarter, with adjusted EBITDA of $5 billion, up 31% year over year, and distributable cash flow up 33% to $2.5 billion. Growth came from natural gas transportation, where intrastate EBITDA rose 50% to $346 million after the early completion of the Hugh Brinson Pipeline, and from NGL and refined-products EBITDA, up 16% to $1.2 billion. The company raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance by $850 million at the midpoint to $19.7–19.9 billion, though part of that growth came from acquisitions. Growth capital spending for 2026 was lowered to $5.4–5.6 billion, while about $7 billion is expected in 2027. Distributable cash flow of $7.8 billion through nine months covered the 6.7%-yielding distribution 2.2 times, and the company agreed to acquire Vaquero Midstream for $2.6 billion.
- Amazon Stocks Edge Higher as Custom-Chip Commitments Increase More Than 20-Fold
Amazon shares edged up 0.21% to $246.15 at 10:45 a.m. ET on November 3 as investors weighed the cloud outlook after quarterly results. The main highlight is that revenue commitments for Graviton and Trainium each rose more than twentyfold from a year earlier. Management said inference, which runs trained AI models, accounts for well over half of AWS AI revenue, and plans to offer Trainium outside AWS in late 2027. AWS revenue was approximately $46 billion and operating income $17.8 billion, implying an operating margin of about 38.7%. The key questions are whether these commitments turn into paying usage and whether cloud margins hold up as infrastructure costs rise.

- Apple earnings analysis: questions answered and next catalysts
Apple beat fiscal Q4 2026 expectations (reported Nov 2, 2026) with revenue of $114.48 billion and EPS of $2.10, yet the stock fell to $332.64 (-1.68%) as of 12:49 PM EST on Nov 3. The selling was driven by guidance: December-quarter gross margin of 45% to 46% against a consensus of 46.9%, and Services growth of 8% to 9% versus about 10.7% expected, with memory costs and Siri AI ramp costs adding pressure. iPhone revenue reached $57.58 billion, up about 17.5%, while tariff refunds added about 1 point to gross margin, though management said most refunds have been received. Analysts are divided on the AI strategy and valuation, with UBS expecting the P/E to compress to about 31x from 36x. The next earnings report is tentatively set for about Feb 4, 2027.
