- Marvell to buy Lumentum in all-stock deal, a massive bet on AI connectivity
Marvell said it will acquire optical component maker Lumentum in an all-stock, fixed-ratio deal with an implied enterprise value of $115 billion, aiming to meet growing connectivity demand from AI infrastructure. Each Lumentum share will be exchanged for 4.5 Marvell shares, so the deal's value will move with Marvell's share price, and it is expected to close in the first half of 2028. Chairman and CEO Matt Murphy said AI infrastructure is shifting toward optical connectivity, and the acquisition lets Marvell combine electrical and optical technologies. The move follows Marvell's multibillion-dollar purchase of Celestial AI earlier this year, and comes as its market value has more than tripled over three years. Lumentum's stock has more than doubled in 2026, while Marvell shares fell 3% and Lumentum about 4% before the bell.

- NYT: President Putin thwarts Western attempts to isolate Russia
The New York Times says Russian President Vladimir Putin is defeating Western efforts to isolate him through a rapid series of diplomatic engagements in the Russian capital last week, according to Moscow bureau chief Paul Sonne. The article cites a call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, visits by African leaders to Russia, and engagement with the US government as evidence. It contrasts this with weakening US–Ukraine relations, highlighting Ukraine's vulnerability ahead of what is expected to be the worst winter of the war, nearly five years into the conflict. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the West promotes the idea of “international isolation”, but Russia continues to take an active part in international forums and expand its foreign relations.
- The Midterms Are Tomorrow. Here's What History Says Defense Stocks Do in the 6 Months After a Midterm -- and the 2 I'd Buy First
The 2026 midterm elections are tomorrow, and polls and prediction markets suggest Democrats could control both the House and Senate from January 2027. The author notes that defense stocks under Democrat-controlled Congresses have historically not been as dire as the sector's recent price moves imply, though the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA) is 18.4% below its 52-week high. During the period when Democrats held the House, Senate and presidency from 2021 through 2022, ITA gained 22.1%. Program-specific contractors could be vulnerable if spending on items such as the Golden Dome, fighter jets or tanks is delayed, while GE Aerospace and RTX have some buffer from their commercial aerospace exposure. The author argues that selling stocks based on election results is a major mistake, noting that large defense backlogs tied to readiness, rearmament and replenishment are bipartisan.

- AI is breaking the search business model
In the Loop host Ejaaz Ahamadeen argues that AI is undermining the traditional search business as people increasingly ask AI chatbots instead of searching on Google. AI tools lack Google-style search ad revenue and belong to firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI, which affects companies beyond the AI sector. Reddit reported record earnings, yet its shares fell around 26% in early trading because search ad revenue drove less traffic to its site. Reddit is also starting to require account login to access content, fearing AI will replace it as AI models are trained on its data without payment.
