Stride (LRN) Valuation After a Month of Share-Price Volatility
November 6, 2025, 11:54 PM EST. Stride (LRN) has faced renewed volatility after a month of sharp price action, with a 48.9% drop curbing recent momentum.

If the market continues to price in long-horizon prospects, Stride could offer upside, but the price-to-forecasts gap merits careful fundamental review.

Oil Edges Lower After Aramco Cuts Asia Crude Price; Demand Worries Persist
November 6, 2025, 11:26 PM EST. December WTI (CLZ25) closed lower after Saudi Aramco cut its Arab Light price to Asia for December delivery, signaling softer demand. December RBOB rose as gasoline inventories tightened, while the weaker dollar limited crude losses. The EIA reported a surprise weekly rise in crude inventories, pressuring prices despite a supportive crack spread that encourages refiners to buy more crude. Geopolitics added mixed signals, with talk of U.S. strikes on Venezuela and new sanctions on Russian oil exports keeping risk premiums intact. OPEC+ approved a modest December output increase but plans to pause hikes in Q1-2026 amid a looming global surplus per the IEA forecast. Analysts note reduced Russian exports continue to cap supply.

November 6, 2025, 11:24 PM EST. December WTI (CLZ25) closed down as crude slid to a two-week low, while December RBOB (RBZ25) rose on tight gasoline supply.

Tech Stocks Drag Wall Street as Indices Slip on Earnings News
November 6, 2025, 10:32 PM EST. Wall Street slipped Thursday as influential tech stocks led declines, with the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq all posting weekly losses. Nvidia and Microsoft were among the heaviest drags, and Amazon also fell, helping push indices into the red. The day followed a choppy week driven by earnings results and questions about the AI-driven rally's sustainability. Investors weighed forecasts amid a prolonged U.S. government shutdown that has limited data on inflation, employment and retail sales. Beyond company updates, traders tracked private payrolls from ADP and ISM services data for clues on the economy's path. Some names like DoorDash and CarMax tumbled, while Datadog and Rockwell Automation rose after earnings, underscoring a mixed, data-driven tone for the session.

November 6, 2025, 10:00 PM EST. Airbnb (ABNB) is set to report Q3 results this week, with Street expectations of about $2.29 EPS and $4.08B in revenue – roughly 7.5% and 9.5% year-over-year growth.

Block Valuation After Merchant Expansion: Is the Stock Overvalued Despite a 3.7% Dip?
November 6, 2025, 9:58 PM EST. Block's shares are down 3.7% over the last week and 5.3% in the last month, extending a broader pullback after a 15.1% YTD slide, even as the stock sits 28.7% higher over three years. Recent news on expanding Block's merchant ecosystem and strategic partnerships has sharpened the debate about its growth trajectory. On valuation, our score sits at 3 out of 6, signaling mixed signals. The Excess Returns model flags a roughly 13.8% premium to fair value, suggesting the stock may be overvalued on that basis, while a traditional PE lens is telling a different story depending on the earnings outlook. In short: attractive upside is possible, but risk remains, so selective, data-driven bets are wise.

Stocktwits shows bearish sentiment persists, even as the stock sits about tenfold its July lows; short interest sits near 21.9%. Morgan Stanley lifted its price target to $2 from $6, while the street remains mixed: most analysts rate Hold. The real story may be the forward plan and potential operating leverage if housing demand recovers, not the near-term pullback, with execution risk capping upside.

Risk-Off Returns as Dow Dips About 400 Points on Rising Job-Cut Data
November 6, 2025, 9:48 PM EST. Stocks traded in a risk-off mode as the Dow falls about 400 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq slide. Private data show U.S. employers announced roughly 1.1 million job cuts year-to-date through October, with October layoffs the highest since 2003. A softer labor market adds to concerns about valuations and future cash flows, as AI adoption, softening spending, and higher costs curb hiring. The hardest-hit sectors include consumer discretionary, technology, and communication services. On the policy front, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack flags inflation as a bigger risk than the labor market, while Austan Goolsbee cautions against rate cuts amid thin inflation data. Tariff tensions and a possible Supreme Court decision also loom over markets.
Coffee Prices Slide as Brazil Rain Eases Drought Fears; Vietnam Exports Rise
November 6, 2025, 9:46 PM EST. December arabica (KCZ25) and January ICE robusta (RMF26) both closed lower, as forecasts of steady Brazil rains eased drought concerns and pressured arabica prices, while robusta succumbed to growing Vietnamese supplies. Vietnam's Jan-Oct 2025 coffee exports rose 13.4% year over year to 1.31 MMT, with production for 2025/26 seen rising about 6% to 1.76 MMT (roughly 29.4 million bags). Vicofa also signaled a potential 10% output gain if weather stays favorable. The country remains the world's largest robusta producer. Traders are weighing tariff dynamics on US imports from Brazil, with talk of a possible 50% tariff relief weighing on Arabica futures and constraining demand. Inventory draws at ICE, plus La Niña risks to Brazil's 2026/27 crop, add volatility.
Cocoa Prices Slip as West Africa Crop Outlook Brightens, Weighing on Futures
November 6, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Cocoa futures retreated on Thursday as investors priced in a bumper West Africa crop. December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ25) and December ICE London cocoa (CAZ25) closed down about 3%. A favorable harvest in Ivory Coast and supportive weather in Ghana underpin expectations of a larger crop, even as traders note demand headwinds. Mondelez cited a 7% above-average cocoa pod count in West Africa. The potential inclusion of cocoa in the Bloomberg Commodity Index next year could spur index fund inflows, with Peak Trading Research estimating about $1.9 billion to be rolled into cocoa futures over the next 80 days. Meanwhile, inventories in US ports fell to a 7.5-month low, helping support prices earlier, but demand weakness persisted, with grindings and candy sales soft in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Sugar Futures Rally on Short Covering as Brazilian Real Strengthens
November 6, 2025, 9:42 PM EST. Sugar prices trimmed early losses as the Brazilian real strengthened, triggering short covering in futures. March NY #11 SBH26 closed up 0.57%, while December London ICE white sugar #5 SWZ25 rose 0.05%. The real's 4-week high against the dollar discouraged export sales from Brazil and supported near-term gains, even as longer-term supply concerns persisted. A stream of production estimates from Brazil and India pointed to a larger global sugar crop and potential surplus, weighing on longer-term prices. Still, short-covering helped rebound from multi-year lows in both centers. Traders watched data from Conab, Unica, and ISMA, as India's output outlook and monsoon strength influence exports and price direction.
DNN Stock Rollercoaster: Denison Mines Faces Earnings Struggles Amid Liquidity Strength
November 6, 2025, 9:40 PM EST. Denison Mines Corp (DNN) stock slid 3.93% on Nov 6, 2025, as uranium-market sentiment remained volatile. The latest earnings show a substantial net loss despite strong gross margins from tight direct costs, underscoring operational headwinds. Profitability is negative, and rising costs outpace revenue growth, signaling execution challenges even as liquidity stays robust. The balance sheet remains light on long-term debt, with a high current ratio suggesting short-term flexibility. Yet declining revenues and a high price-to-book ratio imply stretched valuations and the need for strategic pivots. Bulls point to favorable financing leverage and potential capacity expansion, while bears warn that volatility in commodity markets could pressure shares further. Tim Bohen emphasizes discipline and avoiding price chasing, advocating trades aligned with a clear plan to navigate the stock's fluctuations.
e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) Stock Falls After Mixed Q3 2025 Results and Soft Outlook
November 6, 2025, 9:38 PM EST. e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) shares tumbled about 32.6% in morning trading after a mixed Q3 2025 report and a softer full-year outlook. Although adjusted EPS of $0.68 beat expectations, revenue of $343.9 million missed consensus. Management guided for full-year revenue of $1.56 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $304 million at the midpoints, well below Wall Street projections, as operating margin slipped to 2.2% from 9.3% a year ago. The miss and weak outlook raise concerns about slowing growth and profitability. The move highlights ELF's volatility and the market's focus on guidance, profitability, and the trajectory of the cosmetics sector. The stock remains down about 38% year-to-date and well off its 52-week high, framing potential long-term opportunities for patient investors.

Nvidia Leads Tech Stocks Lower as White House Says No Federal AI Bailout
November 6, 2025, 9:34 PM EST. NVDA led the tech sector lower, down about 3.6%, after a Trump official signaled no federal bailout for AI.

Nvidia previously pledged up to $100 billion to OpenAI, with partnerships including Oracle, CoreWeave, AMD, Broadcom, and Amazon.

XPeng Valuation Faces Scrutiny After Pullback: Is XPEV Undervalued?
November 6, 2025, 9:24 PM EST. XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) shares slipped about 4% after a rally that left them up roughly 77% last year and 89% year-to-date. The pullback tests whether sentiment remains anchored to growth or reflects profit-taking from a momentum run. A narrative fair value of $26.49 frames the stock as undervalued, though the gap depends on expansion abroad and software-driven revenue upside. XPeng's in-house Turing AI SoC and vision-based ADAS development bolster a software-led growth story, but persistent net losses and fierce China competition remain hurdles. A separate view shows a 2.5x price-to-sales ratio, higher than peers (1.8x) and the auto sector (1.1x), implying the market may be pricing in ambitious growth. Investors should weigh long-term demand for intelligent, software-centric vehicles against execution risk.

Fleet includes B737s, B787s and E190s via Aeroméxico Connect.
EU probes Deutsche Börse and Nasdaq over suspected derivatives collusion
November 6, 2025, 9:02 PM EST. European Commission regulators have opened an antitrust inquiry into Deutsche Börse and Nasdaq over possible collusion in the derivatives market. The investigation focuses on whether the groups coordinated in listing, trading and clearing activities, potentially breaching EU competition rules. In September 2024, the Commission conducted unannounced inspections at both firms. Allegations include agreements or concerted practices not to compete, as well as price coordination and sharing of sensitive information. The probe centers on a 1999 deal between Eurex and the Helsinki Stock Exchange (now part of Nasdaq) for Nordic derivatives liquidity, which Deutsche Börse says was pro-competitive and beneficial to markets. The case intersects with the Capital Markets Union goals and broader regulatory priorities.
Albany International (AIN) Hits 2% Yield on Quarterly Dividend
November 6, 2025, 9:00 PM EST. Albany International Corp (AIN) is yielding above the 2% mark based on its quarterly dividend of $1.08 annualized, with shares near $53.50. The current yield underscores the appeal of dividends for total return, especially for investors seeking income. As a member of the Russell 3000, AIN sits among the largest U.S. stocks. While dividends can bolster long-term performance, they are not guaranteed and tend to ride profitability. The accompanying historical view helps gauge whether the latest payout is sustainable and whether a steady 2% yield is likely going forward. Investors should weigh the payout against risks and consider how dividends fit their broader portfolio goals.
Universal (UVV) Passes Through 6% Yield Mark
November 6, 2025, 8:58 PM EST. Universal Corp (UVV) is now yielding above 6% based on its quarterly dividend of $3.24 annualized. With shares trading near $53.77, the attractive yield underscores the appeal of dividends for income-focused investors. The note also highlights how dividends have historically contributed to total returns, citing the long-run case of the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV)-even as price drift occurred, dividends boosted overall returns. However, the piece cautions that dividends are not guaranteed and depend on profitability; reviewing UVV's dividend history helps assess sustainability. UVV's status as a member of the Russell 3000 is part of its size signaling. Investors should consider whether a 6% annual yield is sustainable before assuming it will persist.
PRDO Breaks Above 2% Yield Territory
November 6, 2025, 8:56 PM EST. Perdoceo Education Corp (PRDO) traded with a yield above 2% after its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.60) as shares traded as low as $29.31. The piece notes that dividends have historically boosted total returns and contrasts this with price moves, using the IWV example to show how income can lift long-term results. PRDO is a member of the Russell 3000, underscoring its large-cap market status. However dividend predictability remains uncertain and depends on profitability; investors should evaluate whether the 2% yield is sustainable before expecting ongoing income. The article also invites readers to explore nine other dividend stocks recently on sale.
PBF Energy Passes Through 3% Yield Mark
November 6, 2025, 8:54 PM EST. PBF Energy Inc (PBF) is yielding above the 3% mark after annualizing its quarterly dividend to $1.10 per share, with the stock trading as low as $35.55. The piece highlights how dividends can boost total return, noting IWV's 2000-2012 experience: a price dip accompanied by $10.77 in dividends per share yielded a ~13.15% total return over 12 years (roughly 1.0% annualized without dividends). PBF's status as a member of the Russell 3000 is mentioned, underscoring its large-cap exposure. The article cautions that dividend amounts are not always predictable, and recommends reviewing a history chart to judge whether the current payout is likely to continue before expecting a sustainable 3% yield. A prompt invites readers to see nine other dividend stocks on sale.
Perrigo (PRGO) Passes Through 8% Yield Mark
November 6, 2025, 8:52 PM EST. Perrigo Company plc (PRGO) is yielding above 8% based on a quarterly dividend annualized at $1.16 per share, with the stock trading near $14.46 intraday. Dividends have historically contributed a meaningful portion of total return, though they're not guaranteed. A long-run IWV example shows dividend income can boost returns even as price moves occur. The key question for PRGO is whether the 8% yield is sustainable given profitability swings. As a member of the Russell 3000, PRGO sits among large U.S. stocks, but investors should assess payout visibility. The note also highlights other high-dividend candidates and cautions that dividend forecasts depend on future earnings.
TNET Dividend Yield Rises Above 2% as Stock Trades Around $54.61
November 6, 2025, 8:50 PM EST. Trinet Group Inc. (Symbol: TNET) now shows a dividend yield above 2% based on a quarterly payout of $1.10 annualized, with shares trading as low as $54.61. Dividends are important for investors because, historically, they have contributed a meaningful portion of market returns. The note references the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) to illustrate how dividends can boost overall performance; even with reinvestment, the income stream can help lift returns, making a roughly 2% yield attractive if sustainable. As a member of the Russell 3000, TNET's dividend history is worth checking via its chart to gauge whether the current payout is likely to continue and support a stable yield.

The new payout equates to about 1.4% of the current stock price, below the industry average. The dividend is well covered by earnings, with next-year EPS expected to grow by roughly 57.2%, keeping the payout ratio around 42%-a level likely to be sustainable. The company has a long track record of dividend growth since 2015, with rising distributions. While the income story looks solid, investors should weigh the high growth expectations and two warning signs noted in coverage before committing capital.
Morning Joe: Supreme Court Tariffs Ruling Could Trigger Significant Economic Consequences
November 6, 2025, 8:44 PM EST. MSNBC's Morning Joe spotlights a Wednesday Supreme Court hearing on the Trump administration's use of the 1977 law to unilaterally impose tariffs during declared emergencies. Justices questioned the scope of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a tool never used this way before. Host Joe Scarborough praised Amy Coney Barrett for her tenacious line of questioning. Senior legal reporter Lisa Rubin called Barrett a precise, pragmatic force. If the Court rules against the administration, Steve Rattner warns of a big mess-including how to unwind and possibly return tariff revenue that could reach hundreds of billions. The ruling could also threaten recent trade deals, with allies reconsidering bargains if the authority to use tariffs is in doubt, potentially creating significant economic consequences.
Tesla's trillion-dollar showdown: Musk's pay package, politics and the quest for mega returns
November 6, 2025, 8:43 PM EST. The annual meeting in Austin pits Tesla shareholders against a plan that could push Elon Musk into history's first trillionaire, while drawing sharp political and ethical critiques. Critics, including pension funds, say the board cedes too much control to Musk amid controversy over his behavior and politics. The pope referenced income inequality as the backdrop for the discussion, and Musk has himself branded some critics as 'corporate terrorists'. To unlock the full package, Musk must hit multiple targets over a decade: deliver 20 million cars, lift the company's market value by at least 80%, and deliver 1 million robots, with additional pay for hitting several combinations of operating milestones. Musk already commands a net worth near $493 billion, raising questions about incentives and governance.
The Trump Trade Scorecard: Markets One Year On
November 6, 2025, 8:40 PM EST. One year after the election, analysts assess how the so-called 'Trump Trade' reshaped markets: tariff headlines, policy shifts, and investor risk appetites. The story tracks equity rallies and pullbacks, sector rotation into defense, energy, and financials, and how tariffs and expectations of trade deals drove volatility. It looks at the impact on the dollar, yields, and global supply chains, and whether higher policy clarity has tempered volatility for stocks and risk assets. With investors weighing promises of deregulation and tax reform against actual policy outcomes, the scorecard shows a mixed bag: short-term outperformance in some sectors, longer-term questions about growth and inflation. The takeaway: the 'Trump Trade' produced notable market moves, but lasting trends depend on policy execution and international negotiation.
Could the Supreme Court Stop Trump's Tariffs-and What It Means for Prices
November 6, 2025, 8:38 PM EST. Supreme Court justices signaled they may strike down President Trump's tariffs, potentially easing higher prices for U.S. consumers, though new duties could still emerge under other laws. The Court heard two lawsuits; while outcomes are unclear, several conservative-leaning justices questioned the policy. Tariffs of 10%-50% on most imports have forced firms to shoulder higher costs, with many passing them to shoppers as the policy persists. A KPMG survey found 42% of large companies plan price hikes of up to 5% in six months, and 29% expect 6%-15%. Goldman Sachs estimates consumers could absorb 55% of tariff costs by end-2025, rising to 70% if tariffs remain. Even if struck down, the Trump administration plans to impose new tariffs under other authorities. A ruling could come by June 2026, possibly sooner.

Across S&P 500 sectors, just two rise while seven fall.
Bargain Hunters Take Note: Insider Cluster-Buying At BBT
November 6, 2025, 8:29 PM EST. Insiders at Beacon Financial Corp (BBT) orchestrated a noticeable cluster-buy: four insiders purchased 10,835 shares in a short span, averaging $24.65 and totaling $267,037, with the latest on 11/4/2025. Such synchronized open-market buys are often interpreted as a signal of confidence that the stock is undervalued. The individual purchases ranged from 635 to 4,200 shares, across roles including a CFO & Chief Strategy Officer and two Directors. The stock trades around $26.11, near its 52-week low of $22.27 and well below the 52-week high of $32.36, with a current dividend of $1.29/year (~4.9% yield) and an upcoming ex-date 11/10/2025. The chart shows the one-year performance versus the 200-day moving average, offering context for the potential upside implied by insiders' bets.
Organon & Co. Shares Down 41% in Rough Month as P/E Drops to 2.4x
November 6, 2025, 8:26 PM EST. Organon & Co. (NYSE: OGN) has logged a brutal month, with the stock down about 41% and wiping out a year of gains for shareholders who are down roughly 60% over the past 12 months. The sell-off has left it trading at a humble P/E of about 2.4x, far below the industry average and behind investor sentiment that often rewards earnings growth. Over the last year, profits fell about 31%, with EPS down 38% across three years, underscoring earnings headwinds. Projections from six analysts suggest EPS could rise ~12% per year for three years, roughly in line with a market expected 11% growth. That juxtaposition helps explain why the P/E remains depressed despite a longer-term growth view.
EU probes possible collusion between Deutsche Börse and Nasdaq in derivatives market
November 6, 2025, 8:22 PM EST. The EU Commission opened an antitrust inquiry into potential collusion between Deutsche Börse and Nasdaq in the market for financial derivatives, including listing, trading and clearing. Investigators conducted unannounced inspections in Sept. 2024 and are examining whether the groups coordinated prices, allocated demand or shared commercially sensitive information. The probe centers on a 1999 deal between Eurex and the former Helsinki Stock Exchange (now Nasdaq-owned), which Deutsche Börse says was pro-competitive and aimed at deepening Nordic liquidity. If proven, such conduct would violate EU rules and could hinder the Capital Markets Union. Commission spokespeople warn of possible artificial barriers to EU markets. Deutsche Börse says it is engaging constructively and notes the deal provided benefits and was public.

Duolingo slides as AI-pitch disappoints; markets sink on bleak jobs data
November 6, 2025, 8:06 PM EST.

Daily active users ticked up to 50.5M, shy of the 51.1M Street forecast. The company stressed profitability and ongoing AI investments, but investors kept a wary eye on valuation and growth durability as the stock remains under pressure in a market sold on jobs data. CEO Luis von Ahn defended the performance, noting year-to-date revenue and user growth above 40%, yet the result highlights how even high-growth AI names must meet near-term forecasts to sustain multiples amid broad market weakness.
3 Small-Cap Stocks Walking a Fine Line: Wary Signals for VLY, BKU and PSEC
November 6, 2025, 8:04 PM EST. Small-cap stocks can offer mispricings due to light analyst coverage, but subscale operations often limit growth. Here are three names to swipe left on and some alternatives to consider. VLY (Valley National Bancorp) trades around 0.8x forward P/B; sales have stagnated and its net interest margin sits at 2.9%, raising profitability concerns. BKU (BankUnited) trades near 1x forward P/B; net interest income growth has been lackluster, its net interest margin is 2.8%, and the efficiency ratio is expected to worsen. PSEC (Prospect Capital) shows annual sales declines of 8.1%, EPS fell about 66% over five years, and its tangible book value has declined (~4.3%) annually. The point: valuation alone isn't enough-watch margins and TBV, and consider the free research and better opportunities our coverage flags.

The issue trades against a 6.63% average yield in the Financial category and sits at a 26.72% discount to its liquidation preference versus the 9.23% category norm.

MetLife's MET.PRA Flows Above 6% Yield; Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred
November 6, 2025, 8:00 PM EST. MetLife Inc.'s Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (MET.PRA) yielded above 6% on Monday after an annualized dividend of $1.4057, with trades as low as $23.33. The issue trades at a 5.84% discount to its liquidation preference, versus about 11.00% on average in the Financial sector. Because the shares are non-cumulative, missed payments aren't carried forward before any common dividend is resumed. In intraday action, MET.PRA slipped about 0.8% while MetLife's common stock (MET) fell roughly 0.1%. Preferred Stock Channel places the sector's average yield near 6.53%. Investors should weigh the non-cumulative feature, price discount, and current yield when evaluating MET.PRA.

The current price sits near the mid-range of its 52-week band, offering an appealing setup for value-focused investors seeking income and growth over the long term.
Crypto Whale Bets $140M on 20x Shorts Against Bitcoin and XRP
November 6, 2025, 7:56 PM EST. A crypto whale opened two 20x leveraged short positions on Bitcoin and XRP totaling $140 million on Hyperliquid. The wallet, funded with $7 million via an Arbitrum-originating USDC, has swung to a gain of about $3.1 million in roughly nine hours, as Bitcoin and XRP slipped only a few percent. The move comes as the market tilts bearish and institutional players like Galaxy trim Bitcoin targets, lowering year-end expectations from $185,000 to $120,000. Observers speculate about insider knowledge due to the opaque funding trail, though a similarly labeled 'Trump insider whale' story resurfaced previously. Traders note that massive leverage means small moves can yield outsized profits or losses, and the broader sentiment remains cautious with volatility intact.
October Job-Cuts Surge: Worst Layoffs in 22 Years Fueled by AI, Costs and Softening Demand
November 6, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. October layoffs surged to 153,074, the largest monthly tally since 2003, as firms pressed cost cuts amid AI adoption, softer consumer and corporate spending, and mounting cost pressures. Challenger, Gray & Christmas notes the year's total tops 1 million, up about 65% from a year ago, with technology, retail, and services leading the cuts. Amazon, Microsoft and UPS among the big names extending job reductions, while the fourth quarter pace surprised many as 450 announced plans, up from under 400 in September. With labor-market slack still evident, job seekers face longer searches as the Fed contemplates further rate moves after rate cuts to 3.75-4%.
CRH Valuation Check After 2% Dip
November 6, 2025, 7:50 PM EST. CRH's stock has fallen roughly 2% over the past month but is up more than 25% this year, with a 3-year total shareholder return above 260%. The market narrative labels CRH as undervalued, with a fair value around $133.27. The bull case hinges on the U.S. infrastructure funding rollout and a constructive highway bill outlook, promising sustained revenue growth and backlog visibility. Still, risks include dependence on public funding shifts and the challenges of integrating acquisitions. On valuation, CRH trades at 23.7x earnings, above the sector average 15.1x, but near peers at 26.8x and a fair multiple around 26.2x. The question remains whether current prices fully reflect growth potential or if further upside awaits.
Cocoa Prices Sink as West African Prospects Improve; Ivory Coast Harvest Underway
November 6, 2025, 7:48 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ25) and ICE London cocoa (#7, CAZ25) closed lower for a second day as expectations of a bumper West Africa crop weigh on prices. Ivory Coast farmers report healthy trees and drier beans, while Ghanaian pod development accelerates on favorable weather. Mondelez cited cocoa pod counts about 7% above the five-year average and higher than last year, supporting optimism about quality. The market has also priced in the Bloomberg Commodity Index inclusion for cocoa starting January, potentially drawing inflows. Ivory Coast export data showed shipments down about 16% from a year ago, helping shrink ICE cocoa inventories to a 7.25-month low in U.S. ports. Demand softness, including weak North American chocolate sales and sluggish Q3 grindings in Asia/Europe, remains a price headwind.
Sugar Prices Rebound as Real Strength Triggers Short Covering
November 6, 2025, 7:46 PM EST. Sugar prices rebounded after early losses as a stronger Brazilian real sparked short covering in futures. March NY #11 SBH26 rose about +0.85%, while London's ICE white sugar #5 SWZ25 gained +0.36%. The real's strength discouraged Brazil's export sales and helped lift the market from a wave of macro-softness that left NY sugar near multi-year lows. Supportive factors include upgraded Brazil Center-South production forecasts (Datagro near 44 MMT for 2026/27) and Conab's 45 MMT 2025/26 estimate. India's ISMA raised 2025/26 production to 31 MMT, yet trimmed ethanol-use, potentially boosting exports. If a global sugar surplus persists, price rallies may be limited, even as supply signals from Brazil and India remain important cushions for bulls.
Worst October layoffs in 22 years drag stocks lower as investors reassess the labor market
November 6, 2025, 7:44 PM EST. October's layoffs data showed the worst reading in 22 years, fanning selling pressure across major indices. The sobering print revived bearish sentiment for stocks, with tech and growth names leading the decline as traders priced in weaker demand and ongoing labor market softness. Investors weighed the implications for Fed policy, inflation trajectories, and the pace of rate cuts, sending risk assets lower and boosting volatility. Some defensive sectors found marginal support, but the broader risk-off tone underscored how central labor data remains a key driver for near-term equities expectations and the direction of rates.
Markets slide as Tesla pay vote looms; AI-driven tech stocks weigh on indexes
November 6, 2025, 7:42 PM EST. The U.S. stock market pulled back Thursday as major indexes slipped: the S&P 500 down about 1%, the Dow off 1%, and the Nasdaq 1.6% lower. Traders awaited fresh earnings and watched AI-name valuations, with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon among notable decliners. Attention centered on the Tesla shareholder meeting at 4 p.m. ET and the proposed trillion-dollar pay package for CEO Elon Musk, fueling concerns about leadership incentives if the plan is rejected. The broader market has traded near record highs this week, raising questions about overvaluation in the tech sector. Treasuries moved modestly higher, with the 10-year yield easing to around 4.09% and the two-year at roughly 3.56%, as investors weighed earnings against the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
Lilly & Novo slash GLP-1 prices; FAA cuts flights hit airline stocks
November 6, 2025, 7:40 PM EST. US equities slipped as October posted the most layoffs since 2003, with more than 150,000 jobs cut.

Coffee Prices Slide as Brazil Rainfall Eases Drought; Vietnam Exports Rise
November 6, 2025, 7:30 PM EST. Coffee prices extended losses on Monday as forecasts of steady rains in Brazil eased drought fears, weighing on arabica futures, while robusta slipped to a one-week low. December arabica KCZ25 fell about 3.3%, and January RMF26 is down roughly 3.2%. The market cited stronger Vietnam exports-Jan-Oct shipments up 13.4% y/y to 1.31 MMT-and a 6% rise in 2025/26 production to a near four-year high, underscoring supply concerns for robusta. Traders also weighed chatter that the US could lift a 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee, potentially tamping demand and pressuring prices further. Weather risks persist, including La Niña chances and Typhoon Kalmaegi threatening Vietnamese crops. Declining ICE inventories for arabica and robusta are supportive, though the fundamental that larger exports weigh on prices prevails.

US stocks tumble as layoffs, hiring freezes heighten growth fears amid data gaps
November 6, 2025, 7:22 PM EST. US stocks slipped Thursday as fears of a slowing economy grew amid reports of layoffs and hiring freezes. The S&P 500 slid about 1% and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.5% as investors weighed a potential slowdown in AI-benefited businesses. Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed October layoffs of 153,074-the worst October since 2003-adding to concerns about labor demand. Through the first ten months, US firms cut roughly 1.09 million jobs, with technology companies leading the cuts. The FTSE 100 and continental indices also weakened. Analysts cautioned that a government shutdown and a Supreme Court review of tariffs left officials with limited data to gauge the economy, pushing the Fed toward a cautious stance on rate cuts and keeping inflation data in focus.
NVR stock review: 21% CAGR over 3 years masks mixed momentum and EPS growth
November 6, 2025, 7:20 PM EST. NVR, Inc. (NYSE:NVR) has delivered a strong three-year run, with the stock up about 76% while the broader market advanced. Yet the last month declined 11%, and near-term returns have been volatile. Importantly, EPS grew only about 1.5% per year over the period, a pace that lags the 21% annual rise in the share price, suggesting the market has re-rated the name on optimism about future growth. The evidence shows mixed fundamentals: a modestly compensated CEO relative to peers, and ongoing questions about whether the company can sustain earnings expansion. Investors should weigh cash flow and forward guidance carefully before treating the recent sell-off as a straightforward entry point.
Hedge Funds Increase SPLG Exposure in Latest 13F Batch
November 6, 2025, 7:16 PM EST. From the latest 13F filings for the 12/31/2024 period, SPLG (SPDR Series Trust – Portfolio S&P 500 ETF) was held by 7 funds. Remember, 13Fs disclose only long positions, not shorts, so the full picture may differ. Among the filers, 2 managers increased SPLG shares, 2 trimmed, and 2 initiated new positions. Looking across the broader universe of roughly 2,200 funds, aggregate SPLG holdings rose by 7,484,248 shares, from 86,405,192 to 93,889,440 – about an 8.66% gain. The analysis highlights how aggregating positions across groups can surface potential stock ideas, even as single filings can be misleading due to long-only disclosure.
MSG Sports Stock Seen Undervalued as Knicks and Rangers Drive Value, Analysts Say Buy Now
November 6, 2025, 7:14 PM EST. Analysts argue Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) is trading below its asset value, aided by the Knicks and Rangers, which Forbes says are among the most valuable teams. Citi analyst Steven Sheeckutz started coverage with a Buy rating and a $285 target, while Barron's highlighted MSGS as undervalued relative to assets. Boyar Value Group's Jonathan Boyar says the enterprise value is about $5 billion, with potential upside well above current levels – possibly over $400 a share if the discount is unlocked. The stock trades amid the so-called Dolan Discount, named for CEO James Dolan's reluctance to separate teams. Some investors have urged a split or sale to unlock value, noting recent high-profile team sales and the weak five-year share return versus the S&P 500.
Dollar Retreat Deepens as Fed Rate-Cut Bets Rise on Weak Jobs and Shutdown
November 6, 2025, 7:12 PM EST. The dollar index slid about 0.3% as traders priced in an expanding path of Fed rate cuts after October Challenger job cuts surged 175% year-over-year-the largest in 22 years-amid the ongoing US government shutdown. The softer backdrop raises the odds of further easing, with markets assigning roughly a 69% probability of a 25-basis-point cut at the Dec 9-10 FOMC meeting. Meanwhile, the euro rose on positive ECB rhetoric and expectations that the central bank is nearing the end of its easing cycle, though euro-area retail sales and German industrial output offered mixed signals. The yen strengthened about 0.5% as yields fell and the dollar weakened; the broader narrative remains dollar-soft until inflation data and policy divergence clear.
Innoviva Breaks Above 200-Day Moving Average on INVA
November 6, 2025, 7:06 PM EST. On Friday, Innoviva Inc (INVA) crossed above its 200-day moving average of $18.61, trading as high as $18.66 and up about 1.1% on the day. The last trade stood at $18.56, with a 52-week range of $15.20-$21.28. The breakout above the MA is highlighted by the chart comparing one-year performance to the 200-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish tilt for INVA. Investors watched for continuation above the moving average after the bullish signal, as the stock's range points to potential for further gains if momentum persists.
Crude Oil Under Pressure After Aramco Price Cut; Demand Worries Weigh on Markets
November 6, 2025, 6:58 PM EST. Crude prices edged lower as demand worries weighed on the market after Saudi Aramco cut the price of Arab Light for Asia to an 11-month low for December. December WTI slipped about 0.5% to a two-week low, while RBOB gasoline advanced on tight supplies. An unexpectedly large EIA crude inventory build and a weaker dollar tempered losses. The narrower outlook for energy demand was partly offset by a firmer crack spread, which encourages refiners to buy crude. OPEC+ raised December output slightly, with plans to pause hikes in Q1 2026 amid a global surplus forecast by the IEA. Reduced Russian exports and sanctions constrained shipments, lending a degree of support to prices, though the overall tone remains cautious for near-term moves.
Stocks Slip as US Jobs Data Dims Outlook, Chipmakers Drag Market
November 6, 2025, 6:56 PM EST. Stocks were pressured by bleak US job data and chipmaker weakness. The S&P 500 dropped about 0.97%, the Dow Jones fell 0.76%, and the Nasdaq 100 slid 1.61%, with December E-mini futures also lower (ESZ25 -0.98%, NQZ25 -1.63%). A stronger-than-expected jump in October job cuts from Challenger, Gray & Christmas underscored slowing labor demand, helping push indexes toward two-week lows. Despite the pullback, a retreat in bond yields limited losses, with the 10-year yield down to about 4.09%. The market remains tilted toward possible rate cuts, pricing in roughly a 69% chance of another 25 bp move at the December FOMC meeting, even as hawkish Fed commentary cautions. About 81% of S&P 500 earnings reports have beaten estimates, supporting some resilience amid the decline.
Cantor Fitzgerald Reaffirms $925 Target on Eli Lilly (LLY) Despite GLP-1 Setback
November 6, 2025, 6:54 PM EST. Cantor Fitzgerald reaffirmed its Overweight rating and $925 price target for Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) after the company's oral GLP-1 candidate orforglipron was not included in the initial group of medications eligible for the Commissioner's National Priority Vouchers (CNPV). The note comes as LLY faced after-hours selling pressure, which Cantor Fitzgerald attributed to 'recent unrelenting speculation of a potential CNPV for orforglipron and overly optimistic hopes for YE25' approval. The firm also referenced 'vague and at times contradictory GLP-1 pricing commentary,' likely tied to ongoing Inflation Reduction Act negotiations that could push semaglutide pricing to as low as $150 per month. While acknowledging LLY's growth and pipeline, Cantor Fitzgerald argues some AI names offer greater upside with less downside risk, and maintains exposure to valuation upside despite GLP-1 news.

The retreat was led by losses in consumer discretionary and tech names as concerns over stretched AI valuations resurfaced amid mixed earnings. The Challenger data showed October job cuts at the highest level in 22 years, underscoring a cooling labor market tied to AI adoption and cost-cutting. Biggest movers included Qualcomm (-4.8%), Tesla (-5%), Oracle(-4.2%), Palantir(-5%), and AMD(-7.4%). Megacaps also slid: Nvidia (-2.6%), Microsoft (-1.8%), Amazon (-2.7%), Meta (-2.3%), and Alphabet (-0.2%).
Bitcoin slips under $100k as altcoins plunge; crypto markets digest hawkish Fed signals and flash-crash memory
November 6, 2025, 6:44 PM EST. Bitcoin slid about 21% from its all-time high last month to roughly $99,000, clawing back above $100,000 but showing near-term weakness. By Thursday it traded just under $103,000 and was about 5% lower over the week, while Ethereum and Solana posted sharper declines of roughly 12% and 19% to around $3,372 and $158 respectively. The loss in alt-coins follows earlier record highs, with Ethereum and Solana off about 30% and 41% from peaks this year. Traders cite a mix of hawkish Fed signals, a softer S&P 500, and a lingering flash crash in October that saw over $19 billion liquidated. Powell's remarks also cooled appetite, fueling a view that the cycle may stall long enough for a broader reset.
Ripple's $500M Round, RLUSD Pilot With Mastercard and Gemini; XRP Rallies Before Fading as ETF Race Intensifies
November 6, 2025, 6:42 PM EST. Ripple disclosed a $500 million investment at a $40 billion valuation from crypto firms including Pantera Capital and Galaxy Digital, alongside a pilot to settle fiat card transactions using its RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger, in collaboration with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini. The news briefly sent XRP to around $2.38 before buyers faded and the token retraced more than 5% from the intraday high by 11:30 a.m. ET. RLUSD supply rose about 30% in the last month, lifting the market cap above $1 billion. Analysts see the move as a step toward fintech/payments credentials and a potential IPO signal, with the ETF race for XRP from Bitwise and Grayscale adding to the backdrop.
Morning News Wrap-Up: Thursday's Biggest Stock Market Stories
November 6, 2025, 6:40 PM EST. Today's wrap centers on the essential caution around backtested results and the disclosures investors should weigh before following model-driven picks. We parse how regulatory considerations shape the presentation of fees, performance, and liquidity assumptions, and why historical data may not predict future returns. The piece underscores that backtesting is retrospective, can overstate gains, and may omit real-world factors like trading costs and market liquidity. With these caveats in mind, readers are reminded to distinguish between illustrative strategies and what actually appears in portfolios, as markets react to a sea of macro drivers rather than simulations alone.

Cramer's favorite drug stock could rise as market selloff deepens
November 6, 2025, 6:34 PM EST. On Thursday's Morning Meeting, the S&P 500 slipped as fresh data signaled labor-market weakness – October job cuts reached a 22-year high per Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Cramer tied the drag to the ongoing government shutdown and FAA capacity risks if no deal by Friday, warning spillover into the real economy. In stock news, Eli Lilly (LLY) jumped after a Trump administration deal to lower obesity-drug prices with Novo Nordisk, expanding the TAM for Zepbound. Lilly also reported positive mid-stage results for its eloralintide obesity drug (roughly 20.1% weight loss at 48 weeks) with late-stage enrollment planned next month. Cramer urged caution on Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) ahead of earnings amid high cattle costs and weak dining demand. Other names: Arm, e.l.f. Beauty, Lyft, DoorDash, Fortinet.

November 6, 2025, 6:32 PM EST. U.S. stock markets fell Thursday as investors digested another wave of earnings.

Technology stocks led the losses, with NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon down notably. Cautious guidance and weak results kept concerns about overvaluation in focus after a strong run this year. The ongoing government shutdown and a weaker inflation picture also weighed on sentiment. Some names bucked the trend: Datadog jumped after earnings, and Rockwell Automation rose on upbeat forecasts. Airlines faced pressure as the FAA signaled reduced air traffic due to staffing challenges.
US stock market slump: AI hype cools as Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip on labor-market jitters
November 6, 2025, 6:30 PM EST. US stocks extended a morning retreat as investor nerves over Big Tech valuations collided with fresh labor-market signals. The Nasdaq Composite slid about 1.6%, with the S&P 500 down roughly 0.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average off near 0.8%. Traders cited re-evaluations of AI-driven growth after October layoffs surged to 153,074 – the worst October since 2003 – and a 44% rise in year-to-date cuts, led by tech giants. Despite mixed signals from ADP on private payrolls, investors worry about a weaker economy and a delayed data flow amid the ongoing government shutdown. Big-name names like Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD and Duolingo tumbled on stretched valuations or disappointing guidance, while Tesla investors weigh Musk's trillion-dollar pay package and leadership stability.
Novo Nordisk bets on next-gen obesity drugs to defend its crown amid outlook downgrades and patent expiries, CFO says
November 6, 2025, 6:28 PM EST. Novo Nordisk is defending its weight loss drugs crown as patent cliffs loom, and as outlook downgrades and a wave of lawsuits complicate the path. The company trimmed guidance to 8-11% sales growth and 4-7% operating profit growth for 2025, versus 22% and 24% previously, sending shares down more than 50% year to date before a partial rebound. CFO Karsten Munk Knudsen points to innovation as the shield: a possible Wegovy pill in the U.S. next year, a third-generation CagriSema, and the daily amycretin for diabetes. With regional patent expiries, Novo aims to defend markets, adjust strategies, and fund the next breakthroughs to outpace rivals like Eli Lilly's Mounjaro.
NVO: Last Opportunity? Novo Nordisk Pullback Could Be a Long-Term Entry
November 6, 2025, 6:26 PM EST. Novo Nordisk (NVO) has cooled after a hype-driven surge tied to Ozempic and Wegovy. The pullback appears more like a market reset than a fundamental flaw, as the longer-term growth story remains intact. While valuations expanded in 2022-23, a move back toward the $45-$50 support zone suggests a potential entry point for patient investors. The stock has compounded over decades, and the company continues to lead in metabolic treatments, grow margins, and expand capacity. Short-term uncertainty aside, this correction highlights a chance to accumulate a quality name at a discount. In short: the dip isn't a warning sign against the story, but a reminder of long-term investing discipline for NVO bulls.
Two Catalysts to Watch for Eli Lilly Stock in 2026: GLP-1 Momentum and Orforglipron Filing
November 6, 2025, 6:24 PM EST. Two catalysts keep Eli Lilly stock attractive: a dominant GLP-1 portfolio and an expanding pipeline. Lilly beat Q3 estimates, lifting 2025 revenue guidance to $63-$65 billion and adjusted EPS to $23-$23.70. The GLP-1 franchise, led by tirzepatide brands Zepbound and Mounjaro, gained prescriptions in the U.S. and overseas, driving a large share of the incretin market. The oral candidate orforglipron has phase 3 data showing superiority and is poised for FDA filing with a 2026 U.S. launch. If approved, Lilly could extend its growth runway beyond 2025 and improve cash flow.

Buffett Builds Record $381.7B Cash Hoard as Abel Takes Over-Is a Market Crash Imminent?
November 6, 2025, 5:58 PM EST. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reports a record $381.7 billion cash hoard while remaining a net seller for the 12th straight quarter. Despite a 34% jump in operating profit, revenue growth slowed to roughly 2% amid macro headwinds. With Warren Buffett stepping aside and Greg Abel set to take over, the focus shifts to how Berkshire will deploy its massive cash haul. Berkshire did not buy back stock for the fifth straight quarter, even as holdings in Apple and American Express remain sizable. The market has rallied while Berkshire lags, fueling debate among analysts about valuations, the role of cash, and whether a pullback could be imminent or Buffett simply remains patient.
DoorDash Stock Drops After Q3 Miss and Soft Q4 Guidance
November 6, 2025, 5:56 PM EST. DoorDash (DASH) shares tumbled ~15.5% after a Q3 report that beat on revenue but missed on GAAP earnings per share and delivered weaker Q4 guidance. The company rang up revenue of $3.45 billion, but GAAP EPS of $0.55 vs $0.68 expected. The midpoint of Q4 adjusted EBITDA guidance came in at about $760 million, well below Wall Street expectations of around $822 million, stoking concerns about future profitability. The sell-off overshadowed the revenue beat and underscored the market's focus on the path to sustained profits. The stock's recent volatility includes multiple moves >5% this year, with analysts recently updating coverage and targets around DoorDash and its Deliveroo deal.
BillionToOne debuts on Nasdaq with $273.1M IPO, valuing at $2.6B, signaling 2025 medtech IPO strength
November 6, 2025, 5:54 PM EST. Newly public company BillionToOne closed an upsized IPO on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, selling 4.5 million shares at $60 for a $2.6 billion valuation. Trading under the ticker BLLN, the company raised $273.1 million-above its initial range. The result caps a strong year for the medtech IPO scene in 2025, after early raises by Beta Bionics and Kestra Medical Technologies and later HeartFlow. BillionToOne's 2024 revenue reached $153 million, more than double its 2023 profit of $72 million, driven by the prenatal testing unit. Its lead product, UNITY Fetal Risk Screen, uses NIPT to assess fetal conditions via cell-free DNA. EY notes ongoing appetite for medtech IPOs into 2026.
Dow falls 507 points as tech sell-off spooks markets; Buffett indicator signals overvaluation
November 6, 2025, 5:52 PM EST. US stocks tumbled Thursday as concerns mounted about expensive tech stocks and a risk-off mood. The Dow fell 507 points (about 1.07%), the S&P 500 dropped 1.16%, and the Nasdaq Composite slid 1.84%. A broad range of tech and AI names weakened, with AMD down ~7%, Palantir ~5.5% lower, and Nvidia ~3% lower. The VIX jumped about 12% while the Fear and Greed gauge hovered in extreme fear. The Buffett Indicator moved to a record above 200%, signaling potential overvaluation. Analysts cited rich valuations and caution ahead of rate expectations. Treasuries drew bids as job-cut data showed October layoffs accelerating, fueling speculation the Fed could cut rates if activity slows. Investors also weighed tariff-related headlines tied to Supreme Court deliberations.
Rivian (RIVN) Stock Price Prediction for 2025: What's Next After Q3 Results
November 6, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. Rivian (RIVN) is trading lower after a solid Q3 and a reaffirmed 2025 delivery target of 41,500-43,500 units, even as the EV maker taps new growth lines with Mind Robotics. Shares sit about 8.8% off last week and roughly 21.5% higher year over year, outperforming the broader market over that span. Analysts note the EV sector's 32% CAGR through 2030, but Rivian still projects lighter 2025 deliveries than 2024, pressured by expired EV tax credits, tariffs, and demand shifts. Positive signs include consecutive quarters of gross profit and a solid cash position, plus cost efficiencies, partnerships, and the upcoming R2 SUV. If Mind Robotics and the R2 launch gain traction, the stock could regain momentum despite macro headwinds.
Markets Mixed: Cummins Beats Q3, October Layoffs Rise, Tariff Rollback Outlook, SoFi Promo
November 6, 2025, 5:46 PM EST. Markets tread water after Challenger, Gray & Christmas pegged October layoffs at 153,074. Cummins (CMI) topped Q3 with $5.59 of adjusted earnings on $8.3B revenue; CEO Jennifer Rumsey cited a 'sharp decline' in North American truck demand, offset by growth in Power Systems and Distribution. A Supreme Court appeal suggests Trump tariffs may be rolled back, adding policy risk. SoFi is running a sponsored promotion offering up to $1k in stock to new active investors. Investors are also tracking live coverage of S&P 500 earnings, with the VOO ETF and other components in focus; VOO slipped about 1% in early trading. More earnings news from other S&P 500 members is expected.
Microsoft doubles down on AI and cloud as Azure and gaming drive momentum
November 6, 2025, 5:42 PM EST. Microsoft is plowing heavy capex into AI and cloud infrastructure to outpace rivals, while its gaming segment adds ballast with a rising Xbox Game Pass footprint and 50 million monthly active subscribers. The stock has rallied this year, up about 21% YTD and more than 43% from April lows, even after a recent pullback of ~4%. Q3 results beat on EPS and revenue as demand for Azure/Intelligent Cloud remains robust, with FY25 Q4 revenue up about 39% YoY driven by AI services. A $400 million Switzerland data-center expansion highlights a global capacity push, while a 3% headcount cut signals cost discipline. Copilot adoption by over 70% of Fortune 500 underscores AI monetization momentum, supporting a multi-year growth thesis despite tariff risks.
Bitcoin to Test $92,000 as CME Gap and Liquidity Drive Narrow Outlook
November 6, 2025, 5:36 PM EST. Bitcoin could retest the $92,000 level as traders monitor a nearby CME gap and liquidity around $108,633. Analysts remain split: some see this as a final shakeout before a recovery, others warn of a deeper pullback. The CME gap forms when weekend trading is paused and prices resume, creating a space traders expect to be filled as Bitcoin revisits that level. A move to $92,000 could become a crucial battleground for bulls. The dip below $100,000 has triggered panics and liquidations, challenging the traditional four-year cycle as institutional dynamics reshape demand. If BTC holds or rebounds, volatility could rise; a break lower would put new support levels under the spotlight and test the market's underlying thesis.
Option Spreads in Volatile Markets: Protect Downside and Potentially Maximize Returns
November 6, 2025, 5:34 PM EST. Markets are fat-tailed and skewed, so plain hedges can be costly. Instead of a collar, a practical approach uses two vertical spreads to create a zero-net-cost hedge. Buy a put spread to cap downside and sell a call spread to finance the cost. For example, SPY January 640/600 put spread and 710/740 call spread each cost about $4.95, yielding a roughly zero net outlay. The result is a defined risk profile: downside protection between the put strikes with upside potential capped by the short call spread. Strike and width choices tune the payoff to the skew and volatility regime, offering protection that can improve risk-adjusted returns in volatile markets.
Duolingo Stock Price and Forecast (DUOL): Quote, Outlook, and Growth
November 6, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Duolingo, Inc. (DUOL) operates a popular language-learning platform. Traded on NASDAQ as DUOL, the company relies on a mix of free and paid offerings to drive engagement. Revenue drivers include Duolingo for Schools and the on-demand English Test, expanding classroom and enterprise adoption. Investors watch user growth, monetization progress, and international expansion, as well as margins and unit economics. Near-term catalysts may come from product updates, partnerships with schools, and improving retention and conversion rates from free to paid tiers. Risks include competition in edtech, ad vs. subscription mix, and macro headwinds. The stock outlook depends on sustaining strong engagement, expanding monetization, and delivering a clearer growth narrative for the coming year.
Global market selloff deepens as AI valuations spark fears of a correction
November 6, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. Global markets slide as AI valuations come into focus. A risk-off mood spreads from the U.S. to Asia and Europe after executives from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley signaled a potential correction of up to 20%. Tech-linked slides hit chipmakers: TSMC down over 3%, Samsung and SK Hynix sharply lower, dragging Korea's Kospi. Japan's SoftBank shed about 10% in its worst day since April. In the U.S., Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted their largest one-day drop in a month, with Palantir down about 8% and Nvidia/Oracle around 4%. AMD's post-market results added to the pressure. S&P 500 futures off ~0.25%, Nasdaq futures ~0.4%. Analysts like Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid warn of a broad risk-off phase, while Michael Burry's bets against Nvidia/Palantir fuel debate over an AI bubble.
Dow Dips Over 100 Points as Amazon Delivers Upbeat Q3 Results; Butterfly Network Rises
November 6, 2025, 5:24 PM EST. U.S. stocks traded mixed as the Dow slipped over 100 points while the NASDAQ rose and the S&P 500 edged lower. The Dow fell about 0.3% to 47,379, with utilities weaker and consumer discretionary shares leading gains. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) posted upbeat Q3 results, with net sales of $180.2 billion (up 13% YoY) and guiding Q4 sales of $206.0-213.0 billion (up 10-13%). Other movers included AMTD Digital (HKD) up ~99%, Butterfly Network (BFLY) up ~27%, and Illumina (ILMN) up ~23% after strong results and raised guidance. On the downside, Luminar (LAZR) slumped ~49% after a SEC subpoena and reduced FY25 guidance; Intensity Therapeutics (INTS) fell ~42%, and OneSpan (OSPN) dropped ~27% after weak sales and guidance cuts. Oil rose ~0.5%, gold slipped, and European markets retreated.
Penske Automotive Group (PAG) Oversold as RSI Dips to 27.9; Dividend Yield Looks Attractive
November 6, 2025, 5:22 PM EST. According to Dividend Channel's DividendRank, Penske Automotive Group (PAG) sits in the top decile of its coverage universe for combining solid fundamentals with an inexpensive valuation. On Thursday, PAG traded as low as $155 and dropped into oversold territory as the RSI slid to 27.9. Relative to the dividend stock universe, which averages an RSI near 46.9, PAG's 3.50% annual yield (based on a recent $157.76 price) looks attractive for income seekers. A bullish case hinges on the idea that the RSI oversell is exhausting and could present an entry point for buyers, with attention to PAG's dividend history as a factor for sustainability.
Palantir Put Strategy: Sell Dec 2027 $97.50 Put for ~15.8% Yield
November 6, 2025, 5:20 PM EST. Investors eyeing Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) stock might consider selling puts instead of buying at the current market price around $180.16. One intriguing play is the December 2027 put at the $97.50 strike, bid around $15.40, delivering a 15.8% return on the commitment (or about 7.5% annualized as Stock Options Channel calls it the YieldBoost). A put seller would only own shares if the contract is exercised, which occurs if PLTR falls to or below $97.50; the breakeven is $82.10 after subtracting the premium. If Palantir never drops that far, the trader keeps the premium. The piece notes the method's limited upside versus owning stock and cites trailing-12-month volatility at about 67%.
Agree To Purchase Align Technology At $110, Earn 12.9% Annualized Using Options
November 6, 2025, 5:18 PM EST. Investors eyeing ALGN shares may use put selling to improve yields. The standout idea is the March 2026 $110 put, currently bid at $5.20. That premium implies a 4.7% return on the $110 commitment, or about 12.9% annualized (YieldBoost). A seller won't participate in upside unless exercised, and ownership only occurs if ALGN stock falls to $110 (less the premium) – a cost basis of $104.80 if exercised. Breakeven is $104.80. The trade assumes no downside beyond the premium extracted, with ALGN trading around $133.24 and trailing 12-month volatility near 60%. If you prefer other strikes or expiries, StockOptionsChannel features more yields. Note: options carry counterparty risk and other myths should be understood before selling puts.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals: Sell the Jan 2028 $290 Put for a 6.5% YieldBoost
November 6, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. Investors considering buying Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) at the current $416.38 share price might instead sell puts, notably the January 2028 $290 strike put, bid around $19. The premium equals about 6.5% on the $290 commitment and roughly 3% annualized as a YieldBoost. A put seller forgoes upside unless the option is exercised, which would occur if VRTX falls below $290. If exercised, the effective cost basis is $290 − $19 = $271 per share (ignoring commissions). If the stock stays above $290, you keep the premium. The article notes trailing volatility near 37% and points readers to the VRTX options page for other expirations. As always, consider fundamentals and risk before selling puts, since premium income involves potential stock ownership.
Zebra Technologies: Sell the Dec 2026 $200 Put for a 5.5% Yield (YieldBoost)
November 6, 2025, 5:14 PM EST. Investors eyeing Zebra Technologies Corp. (ZBRA) stock may consider selling puts instead of buying at the current price. The December 2026 put with a $200 strike offers a bid of $10.90, equating to a 5.5% return on the $200 commitment and about 4.9% annualized yield (the YieldBoost). A put seller collects premium and only assumes downside risk if the contract is exercised, potentially landing at a $189.10 cost basis before commissions. The upside remains limited compared to owning shares. Trailing volatility sits around 45%; traders should weigh risk and chart context when deciding if this put strategy suits their outlook.
Sell the April 2026 $600 Put on IDXX for a 5.3% YieldBoost
November 6, 2025, 5:12 PM EST. Investors eyeing Idexx Laboratories, Inc. (IDXX) stock at $701.05 can consider selling puts, notably the April 2026 $600 put currently bid around $14.10. Collecting this premium yields about 2.4% of the $600 commitment, or roughly 5.3% annualized as Stock Options Channel calls it the YieldBoost. If the contract is exercised, the cost basis would be $585.90 per share (600 − 14.10), otherwise the risk is limited to the premium received. This strategy trades away upside above $600 but can provide steady income as long as the stock stays above the strike. A look at the chart shows where the strike sits relative to recent history; implied volatility around 41% supports the idea but comes with market risk.
Waters Corp (WAT): Sell May 2026 $320 Put for ~7% Annualized Yield
November 6, 2025, 5:10 PM EST. Investors considering Waters Corp. (WAT) could consider selling puts, notably the May 2026 $320 put, currently bid at $11.60. Collecting the premium yields about 7% annualized (the YieldBoost metric used by Stock Options Channel) on the $320 commitment. A put seller only profits if the contract is not exercised; shares are only acquired if WAT falls to or below $320 at expiration, giving a cost basis of $308.40 after subtracting the premium. With the stock trading around $364.61, the upside is limited for the put seller. The analysis also cites volatility (roughly 37% trailing 12-month) as a guide for risk/return, and points readers to other contract ideas on the WAT options page.
Keysight (KEYS) June 2026 $165 Put Offers ~8.3% Annualized YieldBoost
November 6, 2025, 5:08 PM EST. Investors eyeing KEYS stock might consider selling the June 2026 $165 put to potentially buy KEYS at a lower net cost. The contract currently bid around $8.40, yielding roughly 5.1% of the strike and about 8.3% annualized (a Stock Options Channel label called the YieldBoost). A put seller would own KEYS only if the option is exercised, which would set a cost basis near $156.60 after the premium. With KEYS near $183.30 and trailing volatility around 33%, this strategy trades upside exposure for premium income. Always weigh fundamentals and risk before acting.
Sell Jan 2028 FICO $1100 Put to Earn 9.1% YieldBoost
November 6, 2025, 5:06 PM EST. The analysis focuses on selling the January 2028 FICO put with a $1100 strike on Fair Isaac Corp. Collecting a $100 premium yields a 9.1% return on the commitment and a 4.1% annualized rate (the YieldBoost). A sell, not own, strategy means upside is limited to the premium and ownership only occurs if the option is exercised. If exercised, cost basis would be $1000 per share (strike minus premium). With the current price around $1763.46 and about 48% trailing volatility, investors should weigh the potential reward against the risk of being assigned. For other expirations and ideas, see StockOptionsChannel. This piece also notes how volatility and chart context can influence the decision to pursue this yields strategy.
Signs of US Labor Market Weakness Weigh on Stocks as Job Cuts Surge
November 6, 2025, 5:05 PM EST. US stocks pull back as a cooling labor market resurfaces. The S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq are lower, while bond yields retreat, helping cap losses. Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported October job cuts surged to 153,074-the most in 22 years for October-with year-to-date cuts topping 1 million. Yet Q3 earnings remain supportive, with around 81% of S&P 500 companies beating estimates. The market is pricing in a December rate cut, even as Fed officials debate policy. Investors also weigh tariffs and related headlines and how they could affect growth and the trajectory of monetary policy.
Bitcoin $68K Too Low vs Gold, JPMorgan Says as BTC and Stocks Slip
November 6, 2025, 4:58 PM EST. Bitcoin joined US stocks in pulling back as macro data fueled risk-aversion. BTC/USD hovered near the $102,000 level while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq drifted lower on job-cut news and rising US household debt. Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported more than 153,000 layoffs in October, underscoring cautious sentiment ahead of the Fed's likely policy pivot. Traders see odds of a December 0.25% cut around 69%, though some warn policymakers may pause as hawkish signals fade. JPMorgan's analysts argue BTC is now undervalued against gold, saying Bitcoin is about $68,000 too low, a line that could renew upside if ETF outflows stabilize. CME futures gap near $92k remains a psychological target as risk assets await clearer macro cues.
Morning Bid: Wall Street Gets Vertigo as Tech Selloff Spreads
November 6, 2025, 4:56 PM EST. Morning Bid: Wall Street trembles as a rare shakeout in Big Tech and chip stocks spills through global markets. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slid more than 1% as investors fret over lofty valuations, even as Democrats fared well in local elections and Trump tariff hearings begin. Palantir's earnings miss and a bearish bet from Michael Burry underscore downside risk, while Nvidia and AMD moves drew attention after hours. Super Micro Computer tumbled on results, and Qualcomm and Costco loom on the docket. Traders eye ADP payrolls, the Fed, and the dollar as risk appetite remains fragile: Bitcoin briefly breached $100,000, and China data-center guidance nudges domestic production higher.
Salesforce Stock Target Prices: Mean Target $330.65, Street-High $430
November 6, 2025, 4:49 PM EST. CRM's market cap is about $242.2B, and the stock has lagged the market, down 24.4% YTD and 15.1% over the past 52 weeks. Despite a better-than-expected Q2 2026 EPS of $2.91 and revenue of $10.2B, Salesforce issued a cautious Q3 guide as AI investments like Agentforce weigh on near-term growth. Across ~50 analysts, the consensus rating is a Moderate Buy, with a mean price target of $330.65 (about 30.9% above current levels) and a street-high of $430 (roughly 70.2% upside). Mizuho's Gregg Moskowitz reaffirmed a Buy with a $350 target. The figures imply potential upside despite a softer near term, as investors weigh longer-term AI-driven expansion against macro headwinds.
HireQuest (HQI) Shareholders Endure 39% Loss Over Three Years as EPS Falls
November 6, 2025, 4:46 PM EST. Over the last three years, HireQuest (HQI) has underperformed the market: the stock is down about 42% vs a roughly 90% market gain, and it fell 41% in the past year. The company's EPS declined at about 38% per year, far outpacing the roughly 16% annual drop in the share price, suggesting sentiment may not fully reflect the earnings slide. The stock trades at a lofty P/E around 45.6, while the TSR over three years is about -39% (dividends boosted returns). Year-to-date, holders are down ~ 40% including dividends, versus the market up ~ 16%. Long-term, ~2% annualized gains over five years hint at potential value if fundamentals prove sustainable.
CTS (CTS) Fair-Value Check After 12% Three-Month Rally
November 6, 2025, 4:42 PM EST. CTS has climbed about 12% over the last three months, supported by steady year-over-year growth in revenue and net income. The near-term momentum keeps the stock on investors' radar, though the trailing 12-month total return remains negative. The latest narrative places CTS near its fair value, with a close at $43.26 suggesting the market and analyst expectations are aligned. The company's push into high-growth segments-medical (therapeutic and portable ultrasound) and industrial (EV charging, automation, connectivity)-could sustain revenue growth and improve margins, even as long-term headwinds persist in transportation and global trade tensions. A DCF view shows CTS trading roughly 0.7% below fair value, indicating a minor undervaluation that may or may not justify further exposure.
NYSE Pre-Market Update: Evommune & Aeromexico Begin Trading amid AI Rally
November 6, 2025, 4:40 PM EST. Stocks are little changed in pre-market trading as AI-related names lift sentiment, with Oracle pacing gains. Evommune is set to debut on the NYSE, priced at $16 and raising $150 million to treat chronic inflammatory diseases. Aeromexico also kicks off its IPO on the exchange, priced at $19 and targeting $223 million in proceeds. A separate note: Altice USA will rename itself to Optimum Communications and switch its ticker to OPTU on November 19. The NYSE's morning update signals a cautiously higher backdrop as IPO activity anchors today's session.
JPMorgan: Bitcoin Now Undervalued Relative to Gold After Selloff
November 6, 2025, 4:38 PM EST. JPMorgan strategists say Bitcoin is now undervalued vs gold after October's selloff. The drop was driven by liquidations in perpetual futures and a Balancer hack, triggering deleverage that brought perpetuals' open interest relative to Bitcoin's market cap back to its 2024 average. ETF redemptions remain modest, implying most deleveraging is behind the market. On a volatility-adjusted basis, Bitcoin looks cheaper than gold as Gold volatility rose past $4,000 while Bitcoin volatility subsided. Using a risk-adjusted lens, Bitcoin would need about a two-thirds rally to ~$170,000 to match the roughly $6.2 trillion in private-sector gold investment. The firm sees upside over 6-12 months if volatility and risk metrics stay favorable.
Is Salesforce's (CRM) AI Strategy a Bold Move or a Risky Bet? RBC Remains Cautious
November 6, 2025, 4:34 PM EST. AI is framed as the era's biggest investment opportunity, but energy demand could bottleneck growth. The piece argues that as data centers power smarter models, electricity prices and grid strain become pivotal risks for AI stocks. Amid this backdrop, a little-known energy infrastructure player is pitched as a backdoor AI bet-owning critical assets and LNG export duties that could ride the cycle. The narrative links AI growth to infrastructure build-outs, tariffs, and onshoring, suggesting investors should look beyond flashy AI tickers. The headline's question about Salesforce's AI strategy and RBC's caution highlights the market's divide: bold AI bets vs risk-aware positioning. In short, the crosswinds of AI demand, energy supply, and policy shifts will shape which names win in the next phase of the AI era.
Intel Stock Five Years From Now: Turnaround Momentum With Nvidia, SoftBank, and Government Backing
November 6, 2025, 4:30 PM EST. Recent coverage suggests Intel's turnaround is gaining traction as it expands partnerships with Nvidia, SoftBank, and even garners government support. The Motley Fool discussion highlights how these alliances could shape Intel's technology roadmap, capacity expansion, and competitive standing against peers. The video notes stock price data from Nov. 3, 2025, and acknowledges analysts' cautious optimism about mid- to long-term earnings visibility amid capital-intensive chip cycles. Investors should weigh regulatory and geopolitical risk, Nvidia exposure, and the pace of manufacturing progress at Intel's fabs. While near-term volatility remains, a constructive trajectory could unlock upside if execution meets milestones on AI accelerators, process node upgrades, and client wins. As always, individual results will depend on execution, market demand, and macro conditions.
Stocks Slip as Nasdaq Tests 200-Hour MA; S&P Breaks Below Key Level
November 6, 2025, 4:28 PM EST. US equity indices extended losses as the NASDAQ falls about -1.62% and the S&P 500 trades near -1%. The NASDAQ nears its 200-hour moving average around 23,046.40, with a daily low near 23,099.23. The 50% retracement of the October rally sits at 23,094, just above the day's low. The S&P 500 has already breached its 200-hour moving average at 6,742.26, and staying below could keep sellers in control. Price is also testing below the 50% midpoint of the move from the October low, with a low of 6,735.56 and current around 6,731. Continued momentum suggests further downside toward nearby support levels.
Why The Stock Market Fell Today: AI Bubble Fears, Jobs Slump, and Shutdown Woes
November 6, 2025, 4:26 PM EST. Stocks fell as investors weigh growing AI concerns and a pullback in semiconductors. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 traded in the red, pressured by AMD, QCOM, and KLAC. Traders also faced fresh headwinds from the ongoing government shutdown, now in its 37th day. On the labor front, Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported October job cuts of 153,047-the highest for October in over 20 years-and about 1.09 million jobs trimmed year-to-date, the worst showing since 2020. The warehousing sector bore the brunt, highlighted by layoffs at Amazon and UPS. Market-watchers will be watching the macro calendar for new data and guidance on whether the pullback is a temporary pause or the start of a broader trend.
December 26th EH Options Open: $13.50 Put Offers ~18% Discount with 78% Chance to Expire Worthless
November 6, 2025, 4:24 PM EST. Investors in EHang Holdings (EH) gained access to the new December 26th expiration options. The standout is the $13.50 put, currently bid at 5 cents. Selling to open locks in a purchase at $13.50, while collecting the premium, yielding a cost basis near $13.45 before commissions. With EH trading around $16.55, the strike represents an approximate 18% discount (putting the option out-of-the-money). The model assigns about 78% odds the contract expires worthless, yielding about 0.37% return on cash (≈ 2.70% annualized) via the YieldBoost metric. Implied volatility sits near 117%, compared with about 63% trailing volatility. StockOptionsChannel will continue tracking the odds and publish updates on the contract page.
PCT December 26th Options Begin Trading; YieldBoost Highlights $7.50 Put
November 6, 2025, 4:22 PM EST. Investors in PureCycle Technologies (PCT) saw December 26th options begin trading. The standout is the $7.50 put, currently bid around $0.05. Selling to open could lock in a cost basis of about $7.45 if assigned, offering a potential alternative to buying PCT at around $9.94 today. Because the strike sits roughly 25% below the current price, the put ends out-of-the-money, with about a 79% chance it expires worthless. YieldBoost projects that scenario would return about 0.67% on cash, or ~4.87% annualized. Implied volatility on the contract is extremely high at ~186% versus ~76% trailing volatility. StockOptionsChannel plans to track the odds and publish charts on the contract page.
Hut 8: December 26th Options Highlight $43 Put and $50 Covered Call
November 6, 2025, 4:21 PM EST. Investors in Hut 8 Corp (HUT) now have new December 26th options. On the put side, the $43 strike shows a current bid around $4.40, implying an effective cost basis of about $38.60 if sold-to-open, for those planning to buy shares. With odds of expiration worthless at roughly 65%, the YieldBoost would yield about 10.23% on cash committed (roughly 74.7% annualized). On the calls side, the $50 strike call trades around $4.75; selling a covered call could deliver about 24.57% total return if shares are called away at expiration, assuming Hut 8 trades near $43.95. The $50 strike is about 14% above the current price, offering another risk-reward path. Fundamental analysis remains important.
December 26 Options Open for Bitfarms (BITF): Covered Call at $4.50 Could Deliver ~20% Return

Ray Dalio: One Last Stock-Market Rally Before the Bubble Bursts
November 6, 2025, 3:54 PM EST. Legendary investor Ray Dalio says the stock market could stage a final 'hurrah' before a reckoning. In a cautious assessment, the Bridgewater founder argues that ultra-loose policy and speculative froth have inflated equities, setting the stage for a painful correction. He envisions a late-cycle rally driven by liquidity and risk-on sentiment, but warns the long-term outlook remains perilous if valuations don't justify earnings. For investors, the message is to watch for inflation, monetary policy shifts, and shifts in valuation metrics. Key gauges like yield curves, credit spreads, and other risk-off indicators can reveal when the bubble is approaching its limit. In uncertain times, emphasize diversification and capital preservation while staying nimble amid volatility.
