The 8:30 show on Yahoo Finance, with Bullseye American Ingenuity Fund portfolio manager Adam Johnson, covered crude falling below $100, Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX) in talks to buy EchoStar's (ECHO) Boost Mobile, and whether AI stocks would rebound after last week's selloff. Cited figures include a basket of large AI and chip stocks losing about $5 trillion since October 6, Alphabet losing nearly $500 billion in value, and Intel's worst decline since 1982. Johnson said he holds these names and had bought more neo cloud companies such as Applied Digital and CoreWeave. He added that his fund focuses on US-based people, companies and technologies, not purely tech.

- SpaceX, Tesla slide as election risks mount, Morgan Stanley turns bullish
SpaceX shares fell about 5% and Tesla 5.6% as the midterm election results raised fresh questions about scrutiny of Elon Musk's companies. SpaceX is especially exposed to Washington given its government contracts, and Barclays flagged possible effects on AI infrastructure in Texas, where Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has campaigned for a moratorium on new data-center construction. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley sharply raised its forecasts: 2027 revenue of $175 billion (up 93%) and 2028 revenue of $289 billion (up 84%), with free-cash-flow positive expected in 2031 instead of 2035. The bank also cut its cumulative external borrowing estimate from $670 billion to about $390 billion.

- Midterm Election Impact: SPCX, ASTS, RKLB Stocks Sink As Musk’s Political Ties Put Tesla-SpaceX Merger Under Fresh Scrutiny
SPCX, ASTS and RKLB, along with several other space stocks, fell between 2% and 6% overnight as fears of political backlash against Elon Musk after Democratic midterm gains spread across the sector. Market observers said heightened scrutiny of government contracts and possible hearings could complicate a Tesla–SpaceX merger, though it would not automatically block the deal. Musk contributed $446 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, mostly to Republican-aligned groups. Investor George Noble urged adding to his bearish bets on SPCX and TSLA, while Morgan Stanley said SPCX trades cheaper than the S&P 500 for fiscal year 2028, at 17.6 times estimated earnings versus the index's 17.7 times.
- Tesla, SpaceX Shares Take Early Hit as Midterm Blue Wave Unfolds
Tesla and SpaceX shares fell about 1.8% in postmarket trading on Tuesday after Senator Jon Ossoff was projected to win reelection in Georgia, and Decision Desk HQ later projected Democrats would take control of both the House and Senate. Investors worry that a Democratic-led Congress could tighten AI regulations and cast doubt on a potential merger of the two companies, though Congress cannot single-handedly block a deal. Tesla shares have rallied 34% since their late-July low, while SpaceX, which went public in June, holds a $1.9 trillion market valuation and earns billions from US government contracts. Market watchers warned that Democratic control could strengthen scrutiny of Musk's conduct and slow the anticipated tie-up.

- Uber beats on revenue even as mobility and delivery units miss estimates
Uber's third-quarter revenue rose 10% to $14.77 billion, slightly above the $14.69 billion analyst estimate, though earnings per share of 25 cents fell short of 96 cents expected. Net income of $512 million fell 92% from a year earlier, which included a $4.9 billion benefit from a tax valuation release. Mobility revenue declined 2% to $7.52 billion, missing the $7.71 billion estimate, while delivery revenue rose 23% to $5.49 billion, just below the $5.51 billion average. Freight sales jumped 34% to $1.76 billion, beating the $1.49 billion consensus and driving the revenue beat. For the fourth quarter, Uber forecast bookings of $64.5 billion at the midpoint, in line with the $64.26 billion estimate.
- Which sectors will benefit most and face pressure after Democratic sweep?
Democrats won both the House and Senate in the midterms, with AP projecting 54 Senate seats and 228 House seats, but Trump's veto and the lack of a filibuster-proof majority point to gridlock rather than sweeping legislation. In premarket trading reported by Reuters, clean-energy stocks rose sharply, with First Solar up 9.4%, Sunrun up 10% and Enphase up 7.6%, while Tesla fell 3.6%. Health insurers and hospitals also gained, the 10-year yield dropped about 6 basis points to roughly 4.9%, and gold rose above $4,000. Data-center and AI names face the most pressure as public opposition to nearby data centers rose from 28% to about half of Americans, and these premarket moves could reverse by the open.
- Texas, Ohio and Georgia data center risks after Democratic election wins
Texas, Ohio and Georgia all elected Democratic governors, but the risk to data centers differs in each state. Texas has frozen grid approvals and barred data-center permits until a grid audit finishes, and incoming Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa wants an immediate halt to new projects and an end to tax breaks, while ERCOT is reviewing about 474 GW of requests, more than five times record peak load, roughly 90% from data centers. Ohio shows the clearest signal: Gov.-elect Amy Acton supports a data center moratorium, residential electricity bills rose more than 20% in two years, and Conserve Ohio is pursuing a 2027 constitutional amendment to ban data centers above 25 MW. Georgia is the most uncertain, as Keisha Lance Bottoms's specific data-center platform was not reported, and the main risk there is a rule rewrite rather than a freeze. Texas and Georgia together hold roughly a third of US AI data center investment.
- Private companies added 86,000 jobs in October, slightly higher than expected, ADP says
Private-sector job growth held steady at 86,000 jobs in October, matching the downwardly revised September figure and slightly above the Dow Jones estimate of 75,000, according to ADP. Trade, transportation and utilities added 39,000 jobs, education and health services 28,000, and leisure and hospitality 19,000. Professional and business services fell by 27,000 and natural resources and mining by 8,000. Pay for job-changers rose 4.8% annually, and a BLS report showed quits hit their highest level since March 2025. The BLS nonfarm payrolls report is due Friday, with Dow Jones economists expecting a gain of 59,000 after September's 29,000.
- What Kraft Heinz (KHC) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
Kraft Heinz reported Q3 organic net sales down 1.1% and adjusted EPS down about 13% to $0.53, as North American organic sales fell 3.2% amid inflation and higher investment spending, partly offset by 15.6% growth in emerging markets. Adjusted operating income dropped 15.2% and the operating margin fell 230 basis points, which management attributed to inflation, investments in marketing, R&D and personnel, and tougher comparisons with lower variable compensation in 2025. CEO Steve Cahillane said the U.S. retail recovery is progressing but incomplete, and the remaining $700 million investment will be deployed in the fourth quarter. The company raised its outlook, now expecting 2026 organic sales to decline 1.25% to 0.5% and adjusted EPS of $2.07 to $2.13, while maintaining its operating-income forecast.
- Meta Just Paid 7.5% to Borrow for 30 Years as Bond Sale Drew $58 Billion in Orders
Meta priced $15 billion of senior notes in five series, with the longest, a $2.75 billion tranche due 2056, carrying a 7.500% coupon and sold at 99.629% of face value for a 7.531% yield. Orders reached as much as $58 billion, about 3.9 times the deal size, but borrowing costs were well above Meta's April 30-year deal at 6.300% and 132 basis points over Treasuries. S&P's negative outlook projects free operating cash flow deficits of $22 billion, $71 billion and $39 billion for 2026 through 2028, with leverage of 1.1x in 2027 and 1.3x in 2028, above its 1.0x downgrade threshold. The article notes Meta can likely carry the debt, since annual interest on all five series is about $990 million compared with $32.79 billion of third-quarter operating cash flow.
