- Want Decades of Passive Income? 3 Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now, Starting With Energy Transfer.
The article argues dividend stocks can play a major role in long-term investor returns, citing Hartford Funds and Ned Davis Research findings that reinvested dividends account for 85% of the S&P 500's cumulative return since 1960. It highlights three energy stocks: Energy Transfer (ET), Enbridge (ENB) and ExxonMobil (XOM). Energy Transfer operates over 140,000 miles of pipeline across 44 states, with 90% of its projected earnings this year coming from long-term, fee-based contracts, and a 6.6% distribution yield. Enbridge has raised its dividend for 31 consecutive years and returned 38 billion Canadian dollars to shareholders over the past 5 years. ExxonMobil has grown its dividend for 43 years, with breakeven costs of about $40 per barrel on its advantaged assets and a goal of lowering costs to $30 per barrel by 2030.
- ExxonMobil’s Refining Profits Are Set to Jump $4.5 Billion. Here’s What XOM Investors Need to Know.
ExxonMobil expects strong refining margins to add $4.5 billion to its energy products segment earnings in the third quarter, after $400 million of external impacts is subtracted. Changes in scheduled maintenance and the extra days in the quarter should add back $300 million. As a result, the segment's earnings are expected to more than double from the second quarter's $4.1 billion, and adjusted company earnings are estimated at about $15.1 billion versus $14.7 billion in the second quarter. The article argues that Exxon's integrated model offset lower oil prices, and that refiners such as Phillips 66, whose stock has more than doubled this year, also benefit. Exxon has raised its dividend for 43 straight years, and its full third-quarter report is scheduled for Oct. 30.
- Dip Buyers in Leveraged Tech ETFs Are Getting Crushed
Billions flowed into leveraged semiconductor and tech ETFs as prices fell in October, but daily-reset funds make waiting for a rebound more costly the longer it takes. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF (SOXL) drew $7.27 billion of net new money in October, about 29.91% of its $24.31 billion in assets, yet fell 47.89% over the month, while the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) drew $3.49 billion and fell 20.53%. Net flows do not show who bought, at what price, or whether they still hold. From October 6 to November 2, SOXL lost 58.50% versus 23.04% for the unleveraged iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), reflecting the compounding effect of daily resets. To recover to its October 29 close, SOXL needs about 50.2% while SOXX needs about 13.3%.
- October ETF Asset Report
The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.2% in October, its worst month since March 2025, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.5%. Tech and AI stocks led the sell-off amid concerns over Big Tech's massive AI infrastructure spending, uncertain returns, elevated valuations and rising borrowing costs, along with disappointing results and outlooks from Amazon, Alphabet and Intel. The largest inflows went to DFAC ($49.3 billion), VOO ($29.4 billion) and SPYM ($9.3 billion) as of Oct. 30, 2026. MUB added about $7.0 billion and SOXL drew about $6.9 billion despite losing around 48% over the month, and the article suggests investors may have bought the dip betting on a rebound. Small-cap fund IWM saw about $2.3 billion in outflows as rising rate and inflation concerns weighed on sentiment.

- D.A. Davidson Managing Director Gil Luria Delivers His Apple Earnings Takeaways
In an NYSE Live interview, Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson discussed Apple's latest earnings and the wider tech sector. He argued that many AI-linked companies continue to report strong results and demand, and that recent share price weakness reflects election and policy caution more than the core AI business. On data centers, he said public concerns about noise and energy often reflect older designs, and that approvals are typically decided locally. On Apple, he noted signs of slowing iPhone upgrades after a strong prior year and margin pressure from price increases and rising memory costs. He said Apple's ecosystem and installed base still support its long-term position.
- Wall Street Expert Jay Woods: Market 'Doesn't Care About Your Politics'
In an NYSE Live interview, Jay Woods, Chief Market Strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, argues that elections often generate headlines and investor anxiety, but long-term stock performance is driven more by corporate earnings, economic growth and business fundamentals than by political outcomes. He says markets have often posted positive returns in the months after midterm elections as uncertainty fades. In his view, the recent tech-stock pullback mainly reflects profit-taking and portfolio rotation rather than weaker fundamentals. The discussion also covers earnings season, sector rotation, inflation, interest rates and the 2027 outlook, and suggests investors focused on long-term fundamentals may be better positioned than those reacting to political headlines.
- Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software Stock Will Outperform Palantir, According to Wall Street (Hint: It’s Significantly Cheaper)
The article compares Twilio (TWLO) with Palantir (PLTR): Twilio shares are up 46% in 2026, while Palantir has been roughly flat. Analysts' 12-month median price target is 274 USD for Twilio, implying 32% upside, versus 225 USD and 26% for Palantir. Twilio's Q2 revenue rose 20% to 1.56 billion USD and non-GAAP EPS rose 32% to 1.65 USD, both ahead of expectations. Its dollar-based net expansion rate reached 114% in Q3, up 5 percentage points year over year. Because Twilio's valuation is much lower than Palantir's, the article argues it looks like the better option.
- Super Micro Climbs 4% Ahead of Earnings as AI Server Stocks Bounce; Hewlett Packard Enterprise Rallies 6%, Dell Gains 5%
Super Micro Computer shares rose 4% to $31.73 as AI server stocks rebounded from a steep one-month decline, ahead of results due on November 3, though the company has not confirmed the timing. On November 3, Super Micro announced a collaboration with SambaNova to build inference racks pairing SN50 chips with NVIDIA GPUs. Preliminary September-quarter revenue is $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, above prior guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, but gross margin guidance of 10.4% to 10.8% is below the 17.6% adjusted margin of the prior quarter. The company also faces export-control issues, including charges against several senior employees for allegedly smuggling NVIDIA AI servers to China, and an independent board review of certain transactions. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Dell rose 6% and 5%, but their broader product mix differs from Super Micro's AI-focused model.
- Until Next Gen Computing Implodes I’ll Keep Buying Taiwan Semiconductor
The author has added to Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) after the stock fell 15.69% over the past month to 398.61 USD, arguing that every advanced AI chip is made at TSMC's fabs. Third-quarter revenue reached 46.72 billion USD, up 41.2% in USD terms, and management raised its 2026 growth outlook to about 44%. Gross margin was 66.4%, free cash flow 14.90 billion USD, and the quarterly dividend rose from NT$6.00 to NT$7.00. The author skips NVIDIA, trading at about 41 times earnings, and Intel, whose foundry segment posted a 1.85 billion USD operating loss in Q3. The main risks cited are cross-strait tensions over Taiwan and overseas expansion costs that dilute margins.
- Why Intel Stock Collapsed 23.4% Last Month
Intel shares fell 23.4% in October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, and are now down over 50% from their highs. The article attributes the slide mainly to weak PC demand, where revenue fell 5% last quarter and guidance points to more weakness amid rising chip costs. The data center and AI segment grew 78% to 7.3 billion USD, while the foundry business rose 58% to 6.7 billion USD but still loses over 1 billion USD per quarter, short of what investors expect. With a market cap of 329 billion USD and trailing revenue of 60 billion USD (P/S 5.3), the author finds it hard to justify owning the stock at present.
