The article argues that Robinhood (HOOD), Charles Schwab (SCHW) and SoFi (SOFI) each have a path toward a strong 2027, though their performance will largely depend on developments in the coming months. Robinhood's third-quarter revenue rose 12% to $1.42 billion and Gold premium subscribers grew 34% to 5.2 million, while its price-to-sales ratio of more than 15 remains well below its late-2025 peak of 35. Charles Schwab reported third-quarter revenue of $7.2 billion, up 17%, and net income of $2.9 billion, up 23%, as deeper client engagement broadened its revenue model. SoFi's products per member rose to 1.56 from 1.47, while revenue climbed 44% to $1.39 billion and net income rose 73% to $241 million. The article notes risks including a trading slowdown, crypto weakness and new regulation for Robinhood, a market decline for Schwab, and a weakening economy or rising inflation for SoFi.

- Schwab’s (SCHW) Latest Move Proves Its Moat Is Doing Its Job
Tech shares sold off on October 30 after Intel and Amazon results showed how heavily AI spending is burning cash, with MSCI's global index down 1.5% and Intel falling 28.6%. The article links the pressure to higher borrowing costs, with the 10-year Treasury yield near 5.3% in early October, pushing hyperscalers such as Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Oracle toward debt markets. Against this backdrop, Charles Schwab (SCHW) reported record core net new assets of $190 billion in the third quarter, up 38% from a year earlier, with growth coming from every client-facing business and every kind of client. Revenue hit a record while expenses grew more slowly, lifting its adjusted pre-tax profit margin to 54.8%. Schwab is also rolling out an AI assistant to handle administrative work for its advisers.
- Schwab to create 'tax-aware' strategy that's been attracting billions from wealthy investors
Charles Schwab's latest quarterly report showed margin loan balances up 14% from the prior quarter to $187.9 billion, including $60.7 billion tied to 'tax-aware' long/short strategies used by registered investment advisors. These strategies use leverage on both long and short positions to create more losses to harvest for tax purposes, and one estimate put TALS assets above $170 billion this year, up from $2 billion in 2022. On the earnings call, CEO Rick Wurster said Schwab expects to launch its own version, extending its direct indexing capability, but gave no timeline. Open questions include whether the products will be limited to Schwab advisors and platform and whether asset minimums will fall. Separately, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS recently issued a notice on sophisticated ETF strategies used to shield capital gains from taxation.
- Schwab Shows No Wear from AI Agent Disruption in Robust Third quarter
Charles Schwab reported $3 billion in net income, up 23% year over year, and $7.2 billion in revenue, up 17% and a record despite a modest miss. Net new assets reached $192.4 billion, 43% above last year's third quarter, and the daily trade count rose 44%. The net interest margin of 3.04% fell short of expectations as Schwab added $5.5 billion in more expensive borrowing, and shares dropped 2.7% on Thursday. Morningstar said the core business remains healthy with no sign of AI agent pressure, though broker shares had been weighed down by fears that AI agents would disrupt advisory services. Schwab has moved to block AI agents from accessing accounts and rolled out its AI assistant Charley.
- Charles Schwab Earnings : Higher Interest Rates Slightly Overshadow Otherwise Stellar Quarter
Charles Schwab reported third-quarter revenue of $7.2 billion, up 17% year over year, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.69, up 29%, as it advances initiatives from its 2026 investor day. Core net new assets were $190.4 billion (5.8% annualized), while bank loans grew 35% and pledged asset lines grew 59%. Client cash fell 10 basis points to 8.9% of assets, a level the analyst considers expected given higher short-term rates and strong equity markets. Schwab added about $5.5 billion in pricier short-term borrowing and long-term debt, lifting net interest margin only slightly to 3.04% and modestly diluting margins and returns. The analyst plans to lower the $124 fair value estimate by a low-single-digit percentage, citing a modest revenue miss and a prudent balance sheet move behind the tepid share reaction.

- Can Robust Trading, Higher NIR Support Schwab's Q3 Earnings?
Charles Schwab (SCHW) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 earnings before the market opens on October 15, with both earnings and revenue expected to rise year over year. The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average beat of 4.16%. Trading revenue is expected to reach $1.18 billion, up 18.2%, driven by elevated market volatility and strong client activity. Net interest revenue is estimated at $3.57 billion, up 17%, supported by loan growth, while asset management and administration fees are pegged at $1.89 billion, up 13.2%. Operating expenses are likely to have risen on regulatory spending, acquisitions and branch expansion.

- STLLR Gold Secures Mineral Recovery Permit for 225,000-Tonne Hollinger Tailings Sample, Advancing Potential Near-Term Gold Recovery Opportunity
STLLR Gold (TSX: STLR) has received a Mineral Recovery Permit under Ontario's Recovery of Minerals regime, allowing excavation and reprocessing of up to 225,000 tonnes of legacy tailings at its Hollinger project in Timmins. The company says this is a key step toward a large-scale sample program to test gold recovery, operating performance, costs and the potential for Hollinger to generate cash flow. Material would be processed offsite, and STLLR is evaluating practical solutions that could use regional infrastructure. CEO Keyvan Salehi said the permit moves Hollinger from resource evaluation toward demonstrating gold recovery at a meaningful scale. Wabun Tribal Council, Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce, MPP George Pirie and the City of Timmins also commented on the project.
- Canton's CC rises 4% as SEC staff view it as 'digital commodity'
Canton Network's native token CC rose 4% on Wednesday after the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter viewing it as a 'digital commodity'. The letter accepted that CC's value comes from how the network operates and from demand for the token, not from a central team's efforts to generate profits for holders. Developer Digital Asset said participants earn CC by running infrastructure and applications, with the protocol determining how many tokens they can mint. The division said it would not take enforcement action over CC issuance without securities registration if tokens are created under the described conditions. The letter reflects staff's position and is not a binding ruling on CC's legal status, and CC traded at $0.098 at 10:27 am UTC, still down roughly 4.2% over the past week according to CoinMarketCap.
- A bank issues urgent notice asking customers to review mortgaged homes and land that fall under clearance zones
Xuân Bách said he received a message from Woori Bank on the evening of November 3 asking customers to review their mortgaged properties. Customers whose assets have been notified for clearance, already cleared, or included in a clearance plan must respond by November 4, 2026, otherwise the bank will assume the collateral is not affected. The article notes that many Hanoi residents fear their mortgaged homes or land fall within planning areas for infrastructure or urban upgrades, and some apartment owners linked to Mường Thanh projects face similar risks while loans remain unpaid. Nguyễn Quốc Hùng, then deputy chairman of the Vietnam Banking Association, said in May 2026 that there is no specific mechanism for cases where compensation is insufficient to repay loans, such as a 5 billion dong loan with 3 billion dong in compensation. Deferring or rescheduling debt is one option under consideration, but it requires a legal basis and guidance from the State Bank of Vietnam.
- AMD's Free Cash Flow Just Fell to 4% of Revenue
AMD reported record revenue in the third quarter of 2026, but free cash flow fell to $554 million, down from $1,558 million in the second quarter and $1,530 million a year earlier, a margin of about 4% of revenue. The drop came mainly from working capital, as inventories used $2,995 million of cash and receivables used $1,928 million. Inventory rose to $11,463 million, and CFO Jean Hu said the company keeps investing in inventory and capacity to meet strong data center demand. Total debt rose to $7,079 million from $3,226 million, including a $4.75 billion senior notes offering. The author argues the cash drop is likely temporary, but notes risks, as AMD gave no free cash flow target or timeline for a recovery.
