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.

- Prediction: Nvidia Stock Is Going to Soar After Nov. 17
Nvidia's market capitalization tops $5 trillion, and its stock is up nearly 15% in 2026. Revenue in the fiscal 2027 second quarter reached $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year, with a 75% non-GAAP gross margin. The company forecasts about $108 billion in third-quarter revenue, while analysts expect about $109 billion. CEO Jensen Huang sees global AI infrastructure spending reaching $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030, and the Vera Rubin platform could generate $40 billion per gigawatt, 60% more than Blackwell. Nvidia trades at about 23 times forward earnings versus 18.6 for the S&P 500, which the author considers reasonable given its growth; the company reports on Nov. 17.
- Intuitive Surgical Stock Just Fell Despite a 22% Revenue Jump. Here's What Investors Are Missing.
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) shares fell after the company reported earnings, despite a 22% jump in revenue. The article argues the real revenue driver is not da Vinci robot sales, which account for roughly 25% of revenue, but instruments, accessories, and services. Although Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson have entered surgical robotics, Intuitive sold more da Vinci systems in Q3 2026 than in Q3 2025, and procedures rose 15% while installed systems grew 12% year over year. With more than 12,000 installed systems generating recurring income, the article says the company still has room to grow as surgical robotics is far from saturation.
- BWX Technologies Reports Earnings on Nov. 2 2026. Here's What Investors Should Be Watching.
BWX Technologies (BWXT) will report fiscal 2026 third-quarter results after market close. The company builds nuclear reactors and components for U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers, and is the sole nuclear fuel provider to the Navy, while also serving the commercial nuclear energy market. Although the shares are down 40% over six months, the article says the drop is not due to weak operations: management raised its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast to about $3.8 billion, and backlog stood at $8.4 billion as of June 30. The stock fell from an April 52-week high of $241.82 to a 52-week low of $123.05, mainly amid a broader sell-off in defense stocks over midterm election concerns and in nuclear stocks over worries about AI data center spending. Management expects nearly 55% of second-half earnings to come in the fourth quarter and targets $5.5 billion to $6 billion in revenue by 2030, and the article says the long-term thesis has not changed.
- Energy Transfer's Next Earnings Report Could Send the Stock Higher

In Q2, adjusted EBITDA rose 31% to nearly $5.1 billion and distributable cash flow rose 32% to $2.6 billion, and the company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook for the second time this year, to $18.8 billion to $19.1 billion. Growth projects include the $2.7 billion Hugh Brinson Pipeline in Texas for data center and AI demand, an expansion of the Transwestern Pipeline of up to $5.6 billion, NGL export expansion, and the $2.6 billion Vaquero Midstream acquisition. Risks include growth capital spending now planned at $5.6 billion to $5.9 billion, up from an initial $5 billion to $5.5 billion, along with construction and volume risks. The 6.5%-yielding pipeline partnership has posted 20 consecutive quarterly distribution increases and expects to grow its payout by 3% to 5% each year.

- SpaceX Stock Is Nearly 30% Below Its Post-IPO High. Here's What Facebook's Stock Did From the Same Spot.
SpaceX (SPCX) shares are about 29% below their record close of $201.80 on June 16, its third day of trading after an IPO at $135 per share in June, and sit near $144. The article compares this with Facebook, which also fell sharply after its 2012 IPO, closing at a low of $17.73 on Sept. 4, 2012. Facebook only passed its IPO price after its Q2 2013 report showed mobile at about 41% of ad revenue, and the stock jumped around 30% the next day. Unlike Facebook, which relied mostly on ads, SpaceX's third-quarter revenue rose 161% year over year to $14.6 billion, while it spent $48.1 billion on property, plant and equipment in the first nine months of 2026 against $13.1 billion in operating cash flow. Management expects first-quarter 2027 revenue of $33 billion to $37 billion, and at about $144 the company is valued near $2 trillion, roughly 14 times sales if that range holds for a full year. The author says Facebook's recovery alone is not enough reason to back SpaceX shares, and that SpaceX posting first-quarter 2027 revenue within management's range would change his view.
