Sysco reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings per share of $1.19 and expects profit growth to accelerate in the second half of the year. It is offsetting near-term food cost deflation and higher fuel expenses with an enterprise AI program of 30 initiatives, which it expects to deliver $100 million in net cost savings in fiscal 2027 and $500 million by fiscal 2029. The pending acquisition of Jetro Restaurant Depot, a cash-and-carry wholesaler for restaurant operators, remains on schedule to close by the end of fiscal Q3 2027 and would extend Sysco's reach into self-service locations. Local case volume in the U.S. Foodservice core segment rose 2.7% despite a 2% decline in restaurant industry traffic, which management attributes partly to productivity gains and wider adoption of its AI360 sales tool.

- Why SpaceX Stock Dropped After Earnings
SpaceX shares rose 7.8% yesterday after the company reported earnings of $0.35 per share, more than double the $0.16 analysts had expected. Its Super Intelligence business, formerly AI, turned profitable, with sales up 830% and a quarterly profit of $431 million. Today the stock is down 5.8% as of 11:45 a.m. ET.

- An unprecedented milestone in Vietnam's history
Vietnam's goods import-export turnover for the first 10 months of 2026 reached US$1,010.55 billion, up 32.3% year on year, the first time it has surpassed US$1 trillion. In October, two-way trade hit US$122.03 billion, with exports of US$64.67 billion and imports of US$57.36 billion, giving a US$7.31 billion trade surplus and marking the second consecutive monthly surplus.

Economist Nguyen Tri Hieu said the shift to a surplus could improve foreign currency supply and help stabilize the exchange rate.

- What Silver Standard Resources (SSRM) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
SSR Mining (NASDAQ: SSRM) produced nearly 104,000 gold-equivalent ounces in the third quarter and remains on track to meet full-year production guidance, but expects all-in sustaining costs to end about 10% above the top of its guidance range due to Puna mine-plan changes, higher royalties, diesel, labor and supplies. Quarterly revenue was $448 million and free cash flow before working-capital changes was about $111 million; at quarter-end, the company held $1.6 billion in cash, no debt and $2.2 billion in total liquidity. An updated Marigold plan extends the mine's reserve life to 2040, while the planned Converse acquisition could add 150,000–170,000 ounces of annual gold production from the early 2030s. In the first nine months of 2026, the company repurchased nearly 17 million shares and reinstated its dividend.
