NewPeak Metals (ASX:NPM) has completed Phase 2 diamond drilling at its 100%-owned Las Opeñas Gold Project in Argentina, targeting extensions of the gold-dominant mineralised zone and a potentially higher-grade core near the Belleza Breccia volcanic centre. The main objectives have been met, with final samples expected next week and assay results anticipated before the end of 2026. The drilling tested the westerly extension of mineralisation identified in Phase 1. The project lies in San Juan Province, about 70 km southeast of the Veladero Mine operated by Barrick and Shandong, and covers more than 1,400 hectares of exploration permits wholly owned by NewPeak.

- Fredonia Confirms Continuity of Gold/Silver Mineralization and the Potential Expansion of the Conceptual EDM Mine Plan at Herradura Hill
Fredonia Mining reported new drilling results at Herradura Hill, part of its El Dorado–Monserrat (EDM) gold-silver project in Santa Cruz, Argentina. Hole HDDH062 intersected 25 m at 1.6 g/t AuEq from 120.3 m, including 3.5 m at 5.5 g/t AuEq, at the western edge of the current pit design. HDDH061, drilled more than 200 m west of HDDH062, returned 10 m at 0.75 g/t AuEq outside the current pit, though continuity with the known deposit remains to be established. The company plans to integrate the results into its block model and continue a 10,000 m drilling program at Herradura Hill and Main Veins ahead of a pre-feasibility study expected in 2027.

- NewPeak Metals readies Phase 2 drilling at Las Opeñas Gold Project in Argentina
NewPeak Metals (ASX:NPM) has started Phase 2 diamond drilling at its 100%-owned Las Opeñas Gold Project in Argentina, targeting a higher-grade, gold-dominant core of a large mineralised system. The fully funded program covers around 1,000 metres across about three holes and can be extended, with permitting in place for up to 7,500 metres during 2026. Phase 1 drilled 2,464 metres across six holes, with gold grades rising to the west toward the Belleza Breccia volcanic centre, which NewPeak sees as a possible gold source. The first hole, LODH-029, tests a structure extending from LODH-023, which returned mineralisation over 663 metres from surface at 0.42 g/t gold equivalent. The program is expected to take about two weeks, with core sent to ALS in Mendoza for assay.
- Cerrado Gold Reports 21% Year-Over-Year Increase in Q3 2026 Production Results at Minera Don Nicolas
Cerrado Gold reported Q3 2026 production of 16,685 GEO at the Minera Don Nicolas (MDN) mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, up 21% from 13,832 GEO in Q3 2025. Year-to-date output reached 44,942 GEO, up 23% from 36,432 GEO in the comparable 2025 period. Heap leach output held steady at 9,649 GEO, while CIL output rose to 7,036 GEO as higher-grade Calandrias material, generally above 2.5 g/t gold, was routed to the Martinetas mill. Laboratory tests on selected material showed gold recoveries of up to 95%, versus about 60% expected from heap leaching, and the company now expects full-year 2026 production at the upper end of its 50,000 to 60,000 GEO guidance while targeting a new PEA by late Q1 2027.

- Amazon Stock Climbs After Phillip Securities Upgrade to Buy
Amazon shares rose 1% in morning trading after Phillip Securities upgraded the stock to Buy from Accumulate, pointing to improving demand visibility across its businesses. Analyst Helena Wang set a $330 price target, implying potential upside of 37% from the previous close. The firm sees Amazon's spending on infrastructure and other growth initiatives as able to reinforce its competitive position over the longer term, and possibly make it harder for smaller rivals to challenge the company in its key markets.
- GE Aerospace (GE) Falls Alongside Industrials
Bristol Gate Capital Partners' Q3 2026 letter says its US Equity Strategy lagged the S&P 500 (+2.3%), as declines in industrial and semiconductor-equipment holdings offset gains in tech. GE Aerospace fell 16.3% in the quarter despite 22% adjusted EPS growth and raised full-year earnings and free-cash-flow guidance; it beat earnings expectations, and analysts raised their estimates and price targets. In September, GE Aerospace agreed to acquire precision-castings supplier Consolidated Precision Products for $11.75 billion to help secure turbine blade supply, shortly after SpaceX said it would cast turbine blades in-house. GE shares closed at $301.80 on October 30, 2026, with a 52-week range of $268.91 to $388.84.
- Wall Street May Be Underestimating This Smaller AI Chip Stock
24/7 Wall St. sets a 12-month price target of $284.80 for Marvell Technology, implying 14.5% upside from $248.71, with a buy rating at 90% confidence. Marvell reported record revenue of $2.739 billion in August, up 37% year over year, while data center revenue rose 46% to $2.17 billion, or 79% of sales. The bull case is $352.54 and the bear case is $218.43. Key risks include customer concentration if hyperscalers bring chip design in-house, and margin pressure as custom chips make up a growing share of sales; fiscal Q3 non-GAAP gross margin is forecast at 57.5% to 58.5%, down from 58.9%. Marvell trades at 31x forward earnings, above Broadcom's 18x but below AMD's 34x.
- 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.
