- FPT Loses VND 120,000 Billion in Market Value Over Chairman Trương Gia Bình's “Rebirth” Performance
FPT shares fell 4.74% to VND 50,200 per share on November 2, their lowest level in three years, and the stock has lost over VND 120,800 billion in market value since early February 2025, even as profit kept growing double digits. Pressure has come from sustained foreign net selling, with over 210 million shares (nearly VND 17,000 billion) sold in the first 10 months of 2026, and concerns that AI could reshape traditional software outsourcing, a worry that also weighs on peers such as Infosys and Accenture. Yet FPT posted record Q3 2026 profit attributable to parent shareholders of VND 2,723 billion, and nine-month profit reached VND 7,778 billion, up 13.3%. Vietcap Securities forecasts FPT's profit growth at an average of 14% a year over 2026–2029, below the 22% recorded in 2021–2024.

- Prediction: Netflix Will Begin Paying a Dividend in 2027 and Beat the S&P 500 During the Next Decade
The author predicts Netflix will begin paying a dividend in 2027, after its stock fell 7% over the past five years while the Nasdaq Composite rose 75% and the S&P 500 rose 66%. Revenue and earnings are at record highs but are inflated by a one-time $2.8 billion termination fee from Skydance, and full-year 2026 advertising revenue is now projected at $2.7 billion, down from $3 billion. Netflix bought back 63.9 million shares for $4.8 billion in Q3 2026, its largest quarterly repurchase ever, and has $22.3 billion of authorized buybacks remaining; the author views the size of these buybacks as the best signal a dividend could be coming. Analysts' average estimate is $3.77 in 2027 EPS, up 5.3% from $3.58 in 2026, and the stock trades at 16.4 times projected 2026 earnings versus 18.7 for the S&P 500.
- Medallion reports high-grade drill results at Kundip Mining Centre
Medallion Metals has released final results from its 2026 infill drilling programme at the Gem deposit within the Kundip Mining Centre in Western Australia, where the Ravensthorpe Gold Project is under development. The programme comprised 22 reverse circulation and diamond holes totalling 3,093m across the upper levels, largely confirming earlier high-grade results in zones targeted for early development. Key intercepts included 3m at 17.8 g/t gold and 0.3% copper from 66m, and 2m at 21.3 g/t gold and 0.8% copper from 58m. The company said the results strengthen confidence in the grade, width and geometry of the lodes, and several short-strike lodes were closed off as expected. Project development is progressing, with box-cut excavation at 55% completion, underground development scheduled to start in November 2026, and first underground ore expected in the second quarter of 2027.
- C3 Metals Intersects 64.9 Metres at 3.45% Copper Equivalent, Including 23.3 Metres at 6.64% Copper Equivalent at its Khaleesi Project, Peru - Highest Grade Copper and Gold Mineralization Intersected to Date at Khaleesi
C3 Metals (TSXV: CCCM) intersected 64.9 metres at 3.45% copper equivalent (2.53% copper, 0.87 g/t gold, 11.6 g/t silver) in drill hole KHZ5790-005 at its 100%-owned Khaleesi copper project in southern Peru, including 23.3 metres at 6.64% copper equivalent. The company says these are the highest copper grades encountered to date at Khaleesi, and follow-up drilling is underway to test the geometry, continuity and extent of the high-grade mineralization. Copper equivalent uses three-year trailing average prices for 2023–2025 and assumes 80% metallurgical recovery. All intervals are downhole core lengths, and true thicknesses have not yet been determined.
