Shell Announces $3.5 Billion Share Buyback Across London and Netherlands Contracts

November 7, 2025, 11:56 PM EST. Shell (SHEL) has launched a $3.5 billion share buyback program announced on October 30, 2025. The plan spans about three months and aims to complete before the company's Q4 2025 results, with repurchased shares to be canceled. The programme uses two irrevocable, non-discretionary contracts with a single broker, split equally between the London and Netherlands markets, each with a $1.75 billion cap. The maximum number of shares purchasable across both contracts is 500,000,000, drawing on authority remaining from the 2025 AGM. Purchases will comply with applicable UK/EU market-abuse rules. The initiative underscores Shell's ongoing capital-allocation strategy amid volatile energy markets.

Nvidia Selloff Sparks Bear-Market Fears: How to Safeguard Your Portfolio

November 7, 2025, 11:52 PM EST. Stocks snapped back and forth as Nvidia's slide amplified bear-market fears. The Nasdaq posted a weekly decline even after AI rally highs, with Nvidia briefly near a trillion-dollar market value and then retreating. Bear markets are defined by drops of 20% or more, and past episodes remind investors that losses can be steep. Yet history also shows long-run staying power for diversified strategies. Key safeguards: maintain diversification, avoid concentration in a single theme, rebalance regularly, hold liquidity, and use disciplined risk management such as dollar-cost averaging or staged exits during rallies. The takeaway is to stick to a plan, manage drawdowns, and protect capital while remaining exposed to potential recoveries over time.

Nebius Group NV: Mixed Options Sentiment as NBIS Dips 4.76% Ahead of Earnings

November 7, 2025, 11:50 PM EST. Nebius Group NV (NBIS) traded roughly $111.42, down about $5.58, as the stock shows a mixed options picture. Total options volume ran near the 93k-contract average, with calls ahead of puts and a put-call ratio of 0.28 versus a typical 0.41. The IV30 slid about 1.71 points to the mid-to-upper tier of the year, implying an expected daily move of around $7.86. The put-call skew widened, signaling more demand for downside protection. Ahead of the quarterly print before the open on 2025-11-11, markets assign roughly a 50% probability of a move greater than 13.3% or $14.82. Investors should watch how earnings align with this mixed setup.

Nebius Group (NBIS) Surges 475% on AI Data Center Backlog – Bubble or Justified Valuation?

November 7, 2025, 11:48 PM EST. Nebius Group's stock has catapulted about 475% this year on surging demand for its AI data centers, but the rally has sparked bubble-talk given a sky-high P/S ratio of about 114 versus peers at mid-teens. Yet the company's revenue backlog suggests a different story: Nebius reports explosive growth (YoY revenue up ~645% to $105 million) and a rapid expansion path that could support a premium multiple. By comparison, peer CoreWeave posted $1.21 billion in revenue with a 3Q YoY growth surge, underscoring a broader wave of cloud AI infrastructure demand. Still, the market's skeptical stance-12-month targets imply only ~25% upside-emphasizes the risk of a slowdown. The key to sustainability may be the long tail of backlog-customers renting capacity by the hour or tokens, including industry giants like Microsoft.

What Elon Musk Must Hit to Unlock Tesla's Nearly $1 Trillion Pay Package

November 7, 2025, 11:44 PM EST. Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk won shareholder approval for a pay package that could total nearly $1 trillion. The plan awards 12 stock-option tranches worth about 424 million shares, tied to aggressive milestones and escalating market-cap thresholds that rise to an ultimate $8.5 trillion target. To vest, Musk would need operational goals-delivering the 20 millionth vehicle, deploying 1 million robotaxis, selling 1 million Optimus robots-and an EBITDA path to roughly $400 billion. Initial vesting requires a $2 trillion base cap, with seven-plus years before any shares can be sold. Critics, including Glass Lewis, warn discretion could disperse tranches irrespective of metrics. Musk argued a special voting stock class isn't feasible.

1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History – Excerpt

It follows Charles Mitchell, the optimistic head of National City Bank, as he returns to 55 Wall Street after a brutal day of declines and a 13% Dow dive. The mood on the street is feverish: brokers in fedoras, messenger boys, and anxious whispers about further declines. Mitchell, famed as 'Sunshine Charlie', grapples with the 'Great Man' posture required by the moment, conferencing with the Federal Reserve to try to steady the tide. The scene juxtaposes grand bank interiors with frayed nerves and questions about whether the market will open at all.

TSMC Valuation in Focus After Pullback: Fair Value Near $310 Despite $286 Price

November 7, 2025, 11:04 PM EST. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) faces a pullback with shares at $286.50, down roughly 6% in the last month, even as a strong YTD gain of about 42% drives a broader bull case. A market bull narrative pegs fair value around $310, implying upside from here, while a separate DCF model sits at $247.94, signaling potential variability in valuation depending on growth assumptions. Key positives: leading AI infrastructure exposure, scalable process tech, robust margins and profitability, and a dominant client base. Risks: rising costs from global expansion, geopolitical tensions and trade frictions. The stock's risk-reward hinges on whether current prices already discount future growth or whether catalysts (AI demand, capex, and expansion) can unlock further upside. Investors should review the underlying assumptions behind the narrative and DCF to gauge fair value versus price.

Kroger Outpaces Market Ahead of Earnings; KR Hits 64.91 While Valuation Looks Attractive

November 7, 2025, 11:02 PM EST. Kroger (KR) closed at $64.91, up 2.33%, outperforming the S&P 500 as the stock remains roughly flat over the past month.

For the full year, the Zacks Consensus projects EPS $4.79 and revenue $148.79B, with revisions hinting at near-term momentum. Kroger carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). On valuation, it offers a Forward P/E of 13.26, below the industry average of 16.72, and a PEG of 1.84 versus a Retail-Supermarkets industry average near 2.39.

Targa Resources (TRGP) Valuation in Focus After Momentum: Fair Value Around $205.30

November 7, 2025, 11:00 PM EST. TRGP has surged about 12% over the last week and roughly 2% in the past month, fueling renewed investor interest. The stock's 3-year TSR sits around 153%, underscoring its growth tilt even after volatility. A latest narrative flags a fair value of about $205.30, versus a recent close near $172.06, implying the stock remains undervalued despite momentum. The bull case hinges on integrated export infrastructure expansion-LPG export bottlenecks, new fractionation trains-and rising international demand for U.S. NGLs, which could lift utilization and operating leverage. Key caveats include rising Permian competition and potential overbuilding of export/pipeline capacity that could compress margins. On a relative basis, the stock trades at about 22.9x earnings vs. a 13.4x industry average and a 19x fair multiple, raising the question: is growth already priced in or still ahead?

United Community Banks Valuation After Recent Share Gains: UCB at $29.97 vs. $34.92 Fair Value

November 7, 2025, 10:34 PM EST. United Community Banks (UCB) posted a modest 2.6% gain last week, trading near $29.97 while a bull case flags a $34.92 fair value, implying upside.

In Q3, sales rose 11% YoY to $1.3B, with adjusted EBITDA $370M and ~29% margin; adjusted net income up ~16%. Some pull-forward of $40M into Q3 due to customers ordering ahead of spin.

Oversold Conditions for Enovis (ENOV) as RSI Dips to 29.2

November 7, 2025, 10:18 PM EST. Legendary investor Warren Buffett's adage aside, ENOV entered oversold territory with an RSI of 29.2, suggesting momentum may be exhausted after a pullback to $44.675.

The chart shows one-year performance, with recent selling pressure potentially fading as sentiment shifts from fear toward opportunity. Readers may consider monitoring volume, catalysts, and broader market tone before acting on the oversold signal.

Pfizer beat Q3 earnings and lifted 2025 EPS guidance to $3.00-$3.15, with adjusted EPS of $0.87 on $16.65B revenue. The dividend is $0.43 per share, payable Dec 1, with the record date today. A Metsera shareholder vote is set for Nov 13, a near-term catalyst. Novo Nordisk has publicly challenged Pfizer to raise its bid; the outcome could reshape Pfizer's cardiometabolic ambitions.

Coffee Prices Rise as ICE Inventories Shrink Amid Tariffs and Weather Risks

November 7, 2025, 9:30 PM EST. Coffee prices closed sharply higher on Friday as ICE inventories declined. Arabica inventories fell to a 1.75-year low of 417,478 bags, while robusta stocks slipped to a 3.5-month low of 5,926 lots, underscoring tighter supply. The move was driven by fears of tighter US coffee supplies after the 50% tariffs on imports from Brazil. Weather concerns in Brazil's Minas Gerais and in Vietnam's Central Highlands added upside risk, with forecasters noting drier-than-normal conditions possible under a La Niña regime. Vietnam's exports rose, and production is seen climbing in 2025/26, potentially easing pressure. Investors also weighed chatter that tariffs could be eased, which could limit further gains in Arabica prices in the near term.

Cocoa Prices Retreat as West Africa Harvest Prospects Weigh on Market

November 7, 2025, 9:29 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ25) closed down 172 points (-2.78%), and December ICE London cocoa (CAZ25) fell 112 points (-2.53%), as prices mark a third straight session of losses to 1-week lows. After a rally to 5-week highs, traders cite expectations of a bumper West Africa crop. Ivory Coast farmers say trees are healthy and drying weather is favorable, while Ghana pods are developing quickly. Mondelez pointed to a West Africa pod count about 7% above the five-year average, underscoring ample supply. The potential BCOM inclusion could spur inflows, but Ivory Coast export volumes have slowed and ICE inventories in US ports remain tight. Ongoing cocoa demand concerns persist amid softer Halloween sales and weaker regional grindings.

The pullback is driven by a supply glut from a stronger world crop, especially in Brazil where Conab lifted 2025/26 cane output to 45 MMT and Unica reported a rise in Center-South sugar output in mid-October. The market also tracks India: ISMA raised 2025/26 production to 31 MMT and warned of export potential as monsoon rains boost yields. Traders see a potential oversupply as rainfall and acreage support a bumper crop, and Czarnikow increased the global 2025/26 surplus estimate to 8.7 MMT.

WES traded around $39.15 near the day's close, with a 52-week range of $33.60 to $43.33. Traders will watch whether the breakout sustains above long-term resistance, potentially attracting momentum players.

Okta (OKTA) Valuation Revisited: Is the Post-Drift Sell-off a Buying Opportunity?

November 7, 2025, 9:17 PM EST. Okta (OKTA) has drifted lower, posting ~1% daily losses and ~6% for the month, while year-to-date gains approach 9%. The stock trades at a steep premium to peers, with a P/E around 90x and shares trading well above the industry average. Yet market narratives still point to value: a fair value of about $120.37 versus a recent close near $85.87, implying the stock could be undervalued despite a softer near-term rhythm. Bullish drivers include AI-enabled identity governance, Cross App Access, Auth0 for AI Agents, and the Axiom acquisition, which could expand margins through higher value products. Risks remain: intensifying competition, integration challenges, and whether growth can justify the premium rather than merely capturing hope.

November 7, 2025, 9:06 PM EST. Analysts have just issued a major downgrade for Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB), cutting near-term revenue forecasts and signaling a more cautious outlook. The latest consensus now calls for about US$485m in 2025 revenue, down from prior estimates of around US$556m.

What weighed on stocks this week? AI pressure, labor data, and a busy earnings season update

November 7, 2025, 9:02 PM EST. Markets faced a lackluster week as the S&P 500 slipped, with AI-related names under pressure as multiples contract and funding concerns loom.

Next week centers on Cisco, Disney, CoreWeave, On, and Applied Materials, noting data delays from the shutdown.

November 7, 2025, 8:56 PM EST. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) extended a week-long slide, down about 14% after its Q3 report, even though the results topped Wall Street estimates. The company posted non-GAAP EPS of $0.21 on revenue of $1.18 billion, beating expectations of $0.17 and $1.09 billion. Growth was led by a 52% rise in the U.S. government segment to $486 million and overall revenue up 63%.

The move underscores ongoing concerns that AI names are in a bubble, and Palantir could remain volatile as investors weigh fair value against big-growth narratives.

Howard Hughes Holdings intrinsic value: DCF places fair value near market price

November 7, 2025, 8:54 PM EST. Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) appears near its estimated fair value after a two-stage Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. The model yields a fair value of US$91.22 per share, vs. a US$78.25 market price, suggesting the stock trades close to fair value. The analysis uses a two-stage FCF to Equity approach, projecting ten years of cash flows and a conservative terminal value, with a PVCF of about US$3.2b.

November 7, 2025, 8:11 PM EST. Intercontinental Exchange's $2B stake in Polymarket after a bet on Zohran Mamdani's win shows markets can price political outcomes amid noisy polls. The victory in New York City's mayoral race reinforced Polymarket's thesis that crowd-sourced bets can reveal 'truth' faster than traditional polling, even as regulators weigh the platform's model. ICE's investment, which values Polymarket at about $8B, is paired with caution from NYSE commentary that a big miss could hurt credibility. Traders had priced Mamdani's odds above 90% in the run-up, rewarding bettors as the outcome became clear. Still, regulatory questions loom, with potential implications for crypto-market governance and data synergies with partners like Reddit.

ICE valued the startup at about $8 billion, highlighting growing ties between traditional finance and crypto-driven analytics. Regulators remain a backdrop, with questions about oversight and accuracy still in play. Yet Mamdani's win suggests these markets can provide actionable sentiment gauges in high-stakes races, while Polymarket explores synergies with data partners like Reddit to crowdsource insights for traders and analysts.

As Polymarket touts market-driven truth, the outcome underscores the risk and reward of betting markets as a hedge to traditional polling, even as policy remains unsettled.

November 7, 2025, 7:30 PM EST. Vertiv (VRT) and Applied Digital (APLD) compete in the growing data center infrastructure market.

Both stocks sit in a market forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 17.3% (2025-2030), limiting downside while offering upside tied to AI adoption.

US consumer sentiment hits near-record low as government shutdown drags on in November 2025

November 7, 2025, 7:28 PM EST. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index fell to 50.3 in November 2025, down about 6% from October and the weakest reading since mid-2022.

Private payroll data also showed a softer picture: ADP reported +42,000 jobs in October, while Challenger layoffs reached 153,074, the highest October level since 2003. Analysts say sentiment remains pressured by inflation, debt, and policy uncertainty, with households recalibrating expectations amid a weak growth outlook.

Sharemarket concern: rally could blow if it keeps building, warns fund manager

November 7, 2025, 7:22 PM EST. Markets worldwide kept hitting records despite warnings of an AI-driven bubble. Milford Asset Management's Murray Harris says a small correction or pullback could prevent a bigger explosion, likening the rally to a pressure cooker that needs steam release. A 10%-15% dip could let the market reset and move higher again. Rupert Carlyon of Koura Wealth notes that after inflation, gains aren't as dramatic, and growth remains solid by ROE standards. The debate echoes past warnings about a bubble: higher rates, tech rallies, and unsustainable stretches. Harris says active managers can hedge with derivatives and rotate into less exposed assets, while some investors flock to gold. Long-term investors should look through volatility and focus on fundamentals rather than daily moves.

November 7, 2025, 7:14 PM EST.

On the price front, analysts are divided: Loop Capital's Ananda Baruah pegs Nvidia at $350 while the street average sits around $235; further upgrades could arrive around earnings. Nvidia's edge rests on the CUDA ecosystem and platforms like Vera Rubin NVL144 CPX, plus high-stakes deals such as the OpenAI partnership. Skeptics warn revenue may increasingly come from customers investing in Nvidia's chips, not in new demand alone.

Mesa Laboratories (MLAB): Heavy Institutional Ownership Shapes Risk and Prospects

November 7, 2025, 6:58 PM EST. Mesa Laboratories, Inc. (MLAB) trades in a regime dominated by institutional investors, who own about 87% of the stock.

Cocoa Prices Slip as West Africa Crop Optimism and BCOM Inflows Face Demand Worries

November 7, 2025, 6:56 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ25) and December ICE London cocoa (CAZ25) are down about 2.8% and 2.6% respectively, setting 1-week lows for a third straight session as traders price in a bumper West Africa crop.

A Tuesday rally on expectations of the Bloomberg Commodity Index inclusion could spur inflows, with Peak Trading Research estimating about $1.9 billion of cocoa futures buying over 80 days. Yet demand remains wary: global cocoa demand softness, Hershey's Halloween sales disappointment, and weak Asia/EU grindings weighing on prices. ICE cocoa inventories in US ports sit near a 7.5-month low.

Markets could enter a digestion period next week as earnings slow and data dries up

November 7, 2025, 6:54 PM EST. Markets could enter a digestion period next week as earnings slow and a scarcity of government data weighs on traders. After a choppy week that left the Nasdaq with steep losses and AI names like Palantir under pressure, investors worry about further volatility or a possible correction in a market dominated by the Magnificent Seven. With the S&P 500 breadth at narrow levels, many say investors should reduce exposure to laggards and keep a wary eye on large-cap tech. Still, a late-year rally remains plausible if earnings surprises, policy signals, and AI-infrastructure spending catalyze a constructive path into November and December. Next week's docket is thin but includes Disney, Cisco, Applied Materials, and Nvidia's upcoming report.

Nasdaq Down Nearly 5% on Week as Tech Leads Decline

November 7, 2025, 6:24 PM EST. The Nasdaq Composite extended a midweek retreat, trading near a session low and leaving the index down about 4.9% for the week. The pullback comes as notable megacap laggards such as TSLA, AVGO, MU, NVDA, GOOG, and META slide, with Expedia bucking the trend, up roughly 17% after lifting its outlook on strong travel demand. The rally in travel remains a potential secular theme. On the downside, Archer Aviation is down about 19% today and has halved since Oct 16, underscoring continued rotation and volatility in the space. A true bottom remains unconfirmed; traders will look for support to stabilize the tape.

Gerstner: Market pullback healthy, no tech bubble; Nvidia exposure trimmed

November 7, 2025, 6:22 PM EST. Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner argues the recent pullback in tech stocks is a healthy correction after a long rally. He told CNBC that the Nasdaq's 40% rebound from April and the market's risk-off week reflect investors seeking a breather, not a bubble. While Nvidia remains a large position, Altimeter trimmed overall exposure as tech equities surged. Gerstner notes a consumer slowdown and a potential late-year pause ahead of Q4 earnings, but rejects the notion that valuations signal a bubble. Citing past supercycles in internet, social media, and cloud, he says the current AI boom is digesting rather than peaking, and could end up bigger than expected.

Coinbase: Crypto Crash Is a Reset, Not the End

November 7, 2025, 6:20 PM EST. Coinbase argues the October sell-off was a reset rather than the end of the cycle. Its research team says excess leverage has been flushed and fundamentals intact, with institutional buyers quietly re-entering. The firm notes smart money clustering around EVM chains, RWAs, and yield protocols, signaling selective re-risking. A bottom may be forming as leverage cools and Bitcoin and Ethereum outpace retail-heavy altcoins. The expectation is a slow grind higher, not a parabolic rally, with Bitcoin dominance rising before rotation into alts. Liquidity surveys show capital rotation, not new money. Macro risks remain, but rate cuts and AI-driven productivity could help support risk assets.

Noteworthy Friday Option Activity: LULU, JPM, SMCI

November 7, 2025, 6:19 PM EST. Friday's notable options flow highlights activity in LULU, JPM, and SMCI.

All three names posted substantial volume versus their 1-month averages, underscoring active sentiment in the options market around these names.

Coffee Prices Jump on Tighter ICE Inventories and Weather Risks

November 7, 2025, 6:12 PM EST. Coffee futures extended gains as ICE inventories tighten, with December arabica KCZ25 up 2.44% and January ICE robusta RMF26 up 2.67% on Thursday. The drawdown follows tighter U.S. supply as the 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports weigh on new contracts, sending ICE arabica inventories to a 1.75-year low and robusta inventories to a 3.5-month low. Analysts note that demand remains firm amid hedging and concerns about adverse weather; Minas Gerais rainfall was well below average while Vietnam, the world's largest robusta producer, signals rising exports and output. NOAA's La Niña outlook adds downside risk to Brazil's 2026/27 crop. The market also weighs a potential tariff easing and the ICO-reported export pace, which could clear or pressure global inventories going into next year.

Palantir Stock in 10 Years: AI Tailwinds, Growth, and Valuation Risks

November 7, 2025, 6:06 PM EST. Palantir is riding powerful AI tailwinds as it sells analytics software to large enterprises and government agencies. The company shows robust demand signals – rising revenue, growing RPO, and multi-year contracts that improve visibility into its sales trajectory. In Q3, Palantir closed 204 deals, including several six- to seven-figure arrangements, and booked roughly $2.8B in contracts, marking YoY growth of about 151% and a company record. Yet the stock trades at lofty multiples, and traditional valuation metrics such as P/S and P/E comparisons leave some investors cautious. Palantir benefits from a strong SaaS moat and government exposure, but sustaining momentum into the next decade will depend on AI adoption and margin expansion, with meaningful upside tempered by valuation risk.

Tesla shareholders approve Musk pay package with 75% backing at annual meeting

November 7, 2025, 6:04 PM EST. Tesla shareholders approved CEO Elon Musk's historic pay plan at the annual meeting in Austin, with about 75% of voting shares in favor. The board had urged approval, while proxy advisers Glass Lewis and ISS had recommended against. The plan spans 12 tranches tied to market capitalization milestones, potentially lifting Musk's stake from roughly 13% to 25% and granting more than 423 million additional shares, though awards are contingent on hitting defined goals over the next decade. Early milestones include a $2 trillion market cap, with further milestones up to $8.5 trillion for the final tranches, plus earnings and operational targets like 20 million vehicle deliveries and 1 million Optimus robots. A separate investor proposal sought approval for investments in xAI.

Tesla shareholders approve Musk's $1T pay package after tense vote

November 7, 2025, 6:03 PM EST. Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's audacious $1 trillion pay package at the annual meeting in Austin, tying the CEO to roughly 12% of Tesla stock through a 10-year plan that hinges on performance milestones, including an $8.5 trillion market capitalization target. With about 75% voting in favor, the plan cements a pay-for-performance framework aimed at aligning shareholder returns with long-term growth. The deal follows legal scrutiny over the earlier $56 billion package that a Delaware judge voided in 2024. Board Chair Robyn Denholm argued the arrangement helps retain Musk and prevent disruption to execution, while Musk urged investors on earnings calls to approve it to maintain influence without compromising accountability. Some investors remained opposed, citing dilution and questions about milestone feasibility.

Michael Burry Exits UNH via $109M Call Options as UnitedHealth Slumps; Sell or Buy the Dip?

November 7, 2025, 5:54 PM EST. Investor alert: Michael Burry has liquidated 350,000 UNH call options worth about $109 million, per 13F filings, as UnitedHealth stock slides about 36% YTD. The move follows persistent pressure from rising medical costs, regulatory scrutiny, and guidance that warns of tougher Medicare Advantage trends into 2026. UnitedHealth posted Q3 2025 earnings of $2.92 per share on $113 billion in sales, with a 12% YoY revenue increase but higher medical costs pressuring margins. Management expects MA medical cost trends near 10% in 2026, with membership contraction and repricing efforts. Outlook for margins: return to the 2%-4% range by 2027; Optum faces headwinds. At ~3% forward yield and depressed valuation, a buy the dip case exists, but Burry's exit adds caution.

Block sinks in early trading after earnings; $68M in-person event inflates G&A and weighs on results

November 7, 2025, 5:50 PM EST. Block, Inc. is getting crushed in early trading, with the stock down over 14% after results that missed on revenue and adjusted earnings. Revenue missed Bloomberg consensus by about 3.5%, and higher operating costs contributed to a roughly 19% miss on adjusted EPS. The two core businesses remained healthy: Cash App gross profit growth reaccelerated to 24%, while Square's metrics held steady with a 9% rise in gross profit. A key driver of the GAAP miss was a 14% year-over-year jump in G&A costs, $543.9 million in Q3, largely due to an in-person employee event. The $68 million event drew scrutiny from analysts, even as leadership promotes bitcoin initiatives and Proto mining as potential future growth engines.

BCA Research Pitches AI-Driven Sell-Off: Short U.S. Hyperscalers, Long Asian Chipmakers

November 7, 2025, 5:48 PM EST. BCA Research argues that a boom-bust cycle is looming for AI stocks. In a note this week, the firm recommends going short on U.S. hyperscalers – Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Oracle – and going long on Korean and Taiwanese chipmakers. The thesis: massive AI infrastructure spending could compress return on equity and depress equity multiples, even if profit growth remains positive. BCA cites easily surpassed capital allocations and the risk that data centers become obsolete or cheaper to build, eroding the value of existing capacity as compute prices fall. Meanwhile, Asian chipmakers should benefit from ongoing data center investments without the same capex headwinds. Investors should watch for any signals that AI ROI isn't meeting expectations, which could herald a broader pullback.

Leggett & Platt: Unusual Items May Inflate Statutory Profit; Look Beyond GAAP

November 7, 2025, 5:46 PM EST. Leggett & Platt's latest earnings didn't move the stock, but the GAAP profit is boosted by a US$125m gain from unusual items. The article argues this one-time boost likely inflates underlying earnings power, so investors should temper optimism. While analysts' forecasts and an interactive forward-looking graph are noted, sustainability remains uncertain. The piece highlights four warning signs to consider before deeper analysis and emphasizes that a profit in the last twelve months doesn't guarantee future gains. Beyond statutory numbers, readers are urged to assess risks, return on equity, and insider activity when evaluating LEG.

Trump Bets Big On Bitcoin: Timing Couldn't Be Worse for Crypto Markets

November 7, 2025, 5:44 PM EST. Former President Trump reportedly doubled down on Bitcoin, but his timing appears to be a headwind for crypto markets. The episode highlights how political headlines can shape investor sentiment as much as fundamentals, with Bitcoin and other digital assets buffeted by macro volatility and regulatory chatter. Critics warn that a high-profile endorsement by a polarizing figure could amplify price swings, lure fresh retail buyers only to spark rapid selling, and turn crypto into a political cudgel. Proponents argue the embrace signals growing mainstream interest, but traders are balancing potential policy shifts and slower adoption against the odds of contagion across risk assets. In the near term, expect choppier sessions as headlines drive risk appetite and risk-off moves.

CashPlus to list on Casablanca Stock Exchange in $82m IPO

November 7, 2025, 5:42 PM EST. Moroccan fintech CashPlus has won approval to list on the Casablanca Stock Exchange via an $82m IPO. The offering covers 3.8 million shares priced at 200 dirhams each, valuing the firm at roughly 750 million dirhams and representing a 15.5% stake. CashPlus, which counts about two million daily users, posted last year's net profit of $23.5m and offers money transfers, bill and tax payments, currency exchange, and parcel delivery through a network of branches and a mobile app. Allocation prioritizes institutions and high-net-worth investors, with 38% open to the general public and about 5% reserved for employees at 160 dirhams. The listing – the first non-bank financial on the bourse – comes as Morocco deepens its capital markets, pursuing reforms, foreign-investor access, and plans for a derivatives market, sukuks, and green bonds.

November 7, 2025, 5:40 PM EST. Groww's parent Billionbrains Garage Ventures' IPO was subscribed 17.6x on the close, led by QIBs (22.02x) and strong NII demand, with retail bids at 9.43x.

Groww, founded in 2016, claims 12.6 million active clients and ~26% market share as of June 2025, cementing its status as India's leading digital stockbroking platform ahead of listing on Nov 12, 2025.

Michigan sentiment drops to 50.3 as government shutdown drags on, signaling weaker outlook

November 7, 2025, 5:38 PM EST. US consumer sentiment fell to 50.3 in the University of Michigan survey, the lowest since June 2022, as the government shutdown drags on. The index dropped 6.2% from October and 29.9% from last November, underscoring worsening economic expectations. Joanne Hsu noted rising worries about potential negative consequences for the economy. Some relief came from stock-market investors, who showed an 11% improvement as equities hover near record highs, reflecting their outsized influence on spending. Still, the middle tercile's slump could threaten consumption and, in turn, the top-line growth pace. Economists warned forecasts for a near-term improvement did not materialize, highlighting a split between sentiment and other data as the shutdown continues.

U.S. Consumer Sentiment Slumps Near Three-Year Low as Government Shutdown Worries Grow

November 7, 2025, 5:36 PM EST. New data show that consumer sentiment sank to the lowest level in more than three years as the government shutdown drags on. The University of Michigan's index put the current conditions component at about 52.3 (down nearly 11% from last month) and the future expectations component at 49.0, with year-ago declines of 18.2% and 36.3%. Economists had expected ~53.0 after October's 53.6. Analysts say concerns about the Washington impasse outweighed any boost from stock gains, with sentiment down across age, income and political lines. Inflation expectations edged lower, with the one-year outlook near 4.7% and the five-year at 3.6%. With data collection paused during the shutdown, the Michigan reading could serve as a key proxy for near-term demand.

Samourai Wallet Co-Founder Sentenced to Five Years for Facilitating Crypto Laundering

November 7, 2025, 5:34 PM EST. Samourai Wallet co-founder Keonne Rodriguez was sentenced to five years in prison after convictions that his wallet's Ricochet and Whirlpool privacy features helped criminals launder millions of dollars in Bitcoin. He also faces a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release; fellow co-founder William Lonergan Hill awaits sentencing. Prosecutors tied the case to the promotion of the wallet on X and noted similarities to the Tornado Cash case. FinCEN had questioned whether Samourai qualified as a money services business (MSB) given its non-custodial design. The DOJ's stance underscores ongoing scrutiny of privacy-preserving crypto tools, even as the industry defends non-custodial security and user control.

Block sinks 10% after weak Q3 results miss Wall Street estimates

November 7, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Block fell about 10% after a weak third-quarter print that missed Wall Street estimates. The company posted adjusted EPS of $0.54 vs $0.67 expected and revenue of $6.11B vs $6.31B expected. Revenue rose 2% year over year, but gross profit growth for Square's POS business slowed to 9% from 11% last quarter, pressured by a partner transition and lower-margin hardware. Cash App delivered a brighter note, with gross profit of $1.62B, up 24% y/y, and 58 million monthly transacting active users, aided by Cash App Borrow, Cash App Card, and BNPL. Block lifted its full-year gross-profit guidance to $10.2B for 2025. The stock remains down about 24% year to date.

Trump Media Posts $54.8 Million Q3 Loss on Tiny Revenue as Bitcoin Decline Foreshadows Higher Risk in Q4

November 7, 2025, 5:30 PM EST. Trump Media reported a $54.8 million net loss in Q3 2025 on $973,000 in revenue, underscoring heavy crypto exposure. The company's bitcoin holdings fell by about $48 million, partly offset by $33 million in Cronos gains. It also incurred $20.3 million in legal fees tied to its 2024 SPAC merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. Revenue remained minimal and well below 2023 levels, even as the stock traded near a 52-week low $12.81. With bitcoin and Cronos prices slipping, Trump Media faces the risk of another big quarterly loss in Q4 unless crypto markets rebound. Key watch items: crypto prices, SPAC-related costs, and the monetization of the Truth Social platform.

Block Stock Slumps After Q3 Miss as Revenue Disappoints Despite Raised Gross Profit Outlook

November 7, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. Block sank after its Q3 results showed a sales miss and softer growth, though the company lifted its annual gross-profit target. For Q3, non-GAAP EPS was $0.54 on revenue of $6.11 billion, with adjusted EPS about $0.14 below consensus and revenue roughly $200 million shy of expectations. Revenue growth cooled to 2.2% year over year, even as GPV for the Square platform rose 12%. By 12:30 p.m. ET, Block was down about 9.5% while the broader market fell. The company raised full-year gross profit guidance to roughly $10.243 billion and sees adjusted operating income near $2.06 billion on ~28% margins, helped by AI-driven improvements. Weak sales and higher spending could keep Block's valuation under pressure despite the favorable margin trend.

Stocks extend losses as AI rally fears weigh on markets; US yields dip

November 7, 2025, 5:24 PM EST. Major stock indexes extended declines as investors questioned the durability of the AI rally. The Nasdaq was on pace for its largest weekly drop since March, with the SOX down about 4.5% on Friday and the Nasdaq Composite down more than 4% for the week. Analysts cited profit-taking after a sharp run in AI names and concerns that China could beat the U.S. in the AI race. Nvidia remained a focal point as AI optimism had buoyed markets earlier in the year. Treasury yields edged lower, with the 10-year yield around 4.07%, as traders looked ahead to debt auctions. The Dow and S&P 500 slid, while the dollar drifted, and weaker Chinese export data underscored tariff impacts on trade.

Oil Gains as Dollar Dips and Chinese Demand Supports Crude Prices

November 7, 2025, 5:22 PM EST. Oil prices were mixed as December WTI rose 0.5% while December RBOB fell 0.76%, with crude trading near a 2-week low. A softer dollar supported energy markets, while China's crude demand remained a bright spot after Jan-Oct imports rose 3.1% year over year to 471 MMT. Investors weighed weaker US sentiment and a slide in the S&P 500, which kept a lid on gains for energy demand. Saudi Aramco cut its Arab Light price to Asia by $1.20, signaling softer near-term demand. Talks of Venezuela strikes and geopolitical risks also factor in. On the supply side, OPEC+ approved a modest December increase (137k bpd) and signaled a pause in Q1-2026; the IEA sees a global crude surplus in 2026. China and Russia headlines remain key drivers.

Mutant Inc. Eyes 2027 IPO as U.S. Reshoring and Tariffs Redefine the Battery Supply Chain

November 7, 2025, 5:20 PM EST. Norfolk, VA-based Mutant Inc. is capitalizing on a US-friendly supply chain shift driven by tariffs and reshoring. As Chinese suppliers pull back, Mutant aims to supply batteries and energy solutions to major clients like Stanley Black & Decker and other utilities, positioning for a 2027 IPO. The narrative hinges on a widening gap left by Jiangsu Highstar and a broader rebound from Apple, GE, and others re-shoring manufacturing. If Mutant can convert pending orders into sustained cash flow, the company could accelerate its growth, attracting investor attention ahead of the public debut. Watch for orders, margins, and how the company scales its platform to capture the post-tariff transition.

Ray Dalio Warns Highs Mask Economic Flaws as AI Concentration Grows

November 7, 2025, 5:18 PM EST. Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio is skeptical of the U.S. economy despite a soaring stock market and rising GDP. He warns a country increasingly shaped by AI relies on the top 1% of workers, with a small elite controlling the future of growth while the rest face stagnation. AI-driven gains have helped markets but create concentration of talent and wealth, risking a brittle economy if policy and investment don't address imbalances. Dalio cautions: you can't look at the U.S. as a whole anymore. He notes AI could reshape employment, citing Amazon's plan to lay off thousands, and points to other sectors like UK film where AI threatens the economic base. The core issue: a few leading innovators driving global dependence, while hundreds of millions watch outcomes.

UM Consumer Sentiment Dips Near 3-Year Low as Shutdown Drags Confidence; Stock Wealth Effect Provides Some Support

November 7, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. The University of Michigan's November sentiment index fell to 50.4, a three-year low, down 6.2% month over month and about 30% from a year ago. Economists expected 54.2, underscoring the drag from the ongoing government shutdown. The decline reflects worries about personal finances and business conditions; however, the stock market wealth effect remains a partial offset, with big-stock households faring better as the Nasdaq climbs about 17% this year. Year-ahead inflation expectations rose to 4.7% while long-run expectations eased to 3.6%. Unemployment expectations surged, with 71% foresee higher joblessness in the next year and only 9% predicting declines, a potential risk to spending. Some caveats include a methodology change and data-gathering disruptions from the shutdown.

Markets Watch: October Layoffs Surge, but Economists Say the Job Market Is Cooling, Not Crashing

November 7, 2025, 5:15 PM EST. Markets are parsing a mixed job outlook: October brought 153,074 layoffs, pushing annual total to about 1.1 million-the worst since 2009-yet economists say the job market isn't collapsing. Hiring is cooling but resilient, with private data showing openings shrinking and wage growth moderating. Glassdoor's survey signals faltering worker confidence, especially among senior leaders, while Indeed reports the lowest postings since 2021 in many areas. Government shutdown adds uncertainty, but health-care, security and engineering remain pockets of strength. In short, a two-economy story: some sectors still hiring, others trimming, suggesting stability rather than an imminent recession.

Daily Dividend Report: UPS, CHRW, VHI, SNA, UNH, TMO

November 7, 2025, 5:12 PM EST. UPS declared a regular quarterly dividend of $1.64 per share for all outstanding Class A and B shares, payable Dec 4, 2025 to holders of record Nov 17, 2025; the payout underscores UPS's commitment to dividends and its history of maintaining or raising the payout since the 1999 IPO.

Stocks Slide on Economic Angst as Megacaps and Data Weigh on US Markets

November 7, 2025, 5:10 PM EST. US stocks sank, with the S&P 500 (SPX), Dow Jones (DOWI), and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) all lower and December E-mini futures extending a weekly retreat. The pull is broad but centered on megacap tech and semiconductors, while the week's data underscored ongoing economic concerns. The University of Michigan's Nov sentiment dipped to a 3.5-year low, and the Fed signals from Vice Chair Philip Jefferson kept rate cuts cautious, noting restraints. Traders priced in a roughly 72% chance of a -25 bp move at the Dec FOMC meeting. Additional headwinds included weaker China trade data, a prolonged US government shutdown, and mixed inflation expectations. The backdrop: cooling growth and policy uncertainty weighing on risk assets.

Trump's crypto wallet slips below $1 million as meme coins dominate holdings

November 7, 2025, 5:08 PM EST. Donald Trump's official crypto wallet has fallen below $1 million for the first time since Arkham Intelligence began tracking the account, as fan gifts in NFTs and meme tokens flood the balance. The portfolio remains top-heavy in the TRUMP coin (579.29K) with ETH down to about $19.09K, and a concentration in a low-cap TROG meme token (210.35 billion coins) that now makes up about 45% of the total. The assets previously peaked near $15 million in late 2024, including 50K WLFI tokens, but a broad market downturn and related headlines have driven the drawdown. With sentiment leaning Bearish, Trump's crypto outlook remains highly uncertain until prices recover.

Evolv Technologies (EVLV) RSI 28.6 Signals Oversold Condition

November 7, 2025, 4:50 PM EST. The stock is showing oversold momentum as Evolv Technologies (EVLV) posts an RSI of 28.6. A session low near $6.58 and a last trade around $6.61 put EVLV near the lower end of its 52-week range ($2.35-$8.91). Compared with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, whose RSI sits around 42.3, EVLV could stage a near-term entry point if buyers regain control and volume confirms. While the oversold reading hints at a potential rebound, risk remains due to volatility and broader market dynamics. Traders should monitor price action, RSI shifts, and volume to gauge a possible turnaround.

The stock's 52-week range runs from a low of $20.38 to a high of $42.51, versus a last trade near $30.88. Traders may watch for a stabilization or bounce as a possible entry point, though risks remain.

Why Plug Power Could Move Big in November After Ending October Up 15%

November 7, 2025, 4:46 PM EST. Plug Power closed October up 15.5% after a month of milestones, and the stock could move again after its Nov. 10 Q3 results. October's rally was fueled by milestones: the first electrolyzers were delivered to Galp's Sines refinery; a 2 GW electrolyzer deal with Allied Biofuels, lifting contracted value to 5 GW; a partnership with Edgewood Renewables for a Nevada renewable-fuel facility; and a $370 million warrant sale (potentially $1.4 billion more). The company also announced a leadership change, with Jose Luis Crespo set to become CEO in 2026, bringing a stronger sales funnel with clients like Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart. Management targets break-even gross margin on a run-rate basis by Q4 2025 and eventual profitability by 2028, underpinning optimism for November.

Philip Morris International (NYSE:PM) Undervalued After Recent Gains?

November 7, 2025, 4:44 PM EST. Philip Morris International (PM) has edged up about 1% last week, but remains below its all-time highs as investors weigh its longer-term outlook. The stock is up about 24% YTD with a 157.6% five-year total return, though recent weakness trimmed quarterly gains. Analysts peg a fair value around $185.44 vs a close near $149.90, signaling the stock is undervalued despite a 27.1x P/E that sits above the industry and peers. The bullish case centers on the secular shift to smoke-free products (IQOS, ZYN, VEEV) delivering faster revenue/margin growth. Risks include ongoing declines in cigarette demand and regulatory uncertainty that could temper the upbeat thesis.

Slumping US Consumer Sentiment Pressures the Dollar; Euro Rises on Divergence as Fed Looms

November 7, 2025, 4:42 PM EST. The dollar slid to a one-week low as the Michigan University Nov consumer sentiment index fell to a roughly 3.5-year low, reinforcing bets on ongoing Fed rate cuts.

Meanwhile, the EUR/USD jumped to a one-week high as the euro benefits from a weaker dollar and firmer German trade data, highlighting policy divergence with the Fed. USD/JPY edged higher after Japanese data showed softer household spending. Losses in the dollar are limited today due to weakness in stocks, which boosts liquidity demand for the dollar.

JPMorgan Maintains Bullish Bitcoin Outlook With $170,000 Target in 6-12 Months

November 7, 2025, 3:56 PM EST. JPMorgan analysts remain bullish on Bitcoin after a drop below $100,000, forecasting a target near $170,000 within 6-12 months. They argue Bitcoin is significantly undervalued vs gold and that once leverage conditions normalize, BTC could rally toward the target, about a 66% upside from current levels around $102,400. The note highlights bear-market-style liquidations in perpetual futures and a broader crypto sell-off that flushed out speculative risk, signaling a potential end to sustained perpetual deleveraging.

The reaction–sell the news–highlights growing caution about crypto corporate treasury bets and leverage-driven financing, even as MicroStrategy pledges to press on with its unconventional strategy.

QQQ: The Cash Flow Collapse No One Is Talking About

November 7, 2025, 3:50 PM EST. Is the QQQ facing a persistent cash flow downturn that market headlines overlook? This piece examines how the ETF's heavyweight holdings' free cash flow generation, capital expenditure, and share buybacks influence earnings quality versus reported profits. It weighs whether a weaker cash flow backdrop could erode risk margins, challenge high multiples, and alter the outlook for tech equities within the index. While headline earnings can look sturdy, the author argues that a cash-flow collapse could precede multiple compression, especially if growth expectations decelerate or funding costs rise. For traders and long-term investors, the analysis highlights key valuation and risk factors to monitor in QQQ's composition and broader tech exposure.

November 7, 2025, 3:46 PM EST. Piper Sandler trimmed Kemper's price target from $50 to $35 and kept an underweight rating on KMPR, signaling a cautious outlook.

Kemper traded around $36 after a 14.9% drop, with a P/E near 6.8 and a debt-to-equity of 0.32. In its latest quarter the insurer posted $0.33 per share versus consensus of $1.33 on $1.24B in revenue. Nevertheless, Kemper's board authorized a $500M stock buyback, potentially signaling capital return despite the softer near-term outlook.

Executives' remarks on the AI race, including perspectives on China's position, fueled debate over sustainability. As headlines test sentiment, NVDA and other Big Tech names face scrutiny over how far the rally can run without a material pullback in valuations.

Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) Valuation After Q3 Miss and Guidance Cut

November 7, 2025, 3:42 PM EST. Tecnoglass (TGLS) posted a Q3 miss and trimmed its full-year revenue outlook due to project invoicing delays. The stock slipped about 18% in the last month, though longer-term holders have meaningful gains (118% over three years; 828% over five). Analysts present a split view: a fair value near $90.75 argues for substantial upside, while the SWS DCF model places fair value closer to $46.48, suggesting the market may be pricing in most of the growth. The key question is whether the recent setback creates an attractive entry or reflects slower momentum. The bull case hinges on ongoing urbanization trends, aggressive geographic expansion (notably Western U.S. markets), and a growing backlog that could sustain revenue into 2025+. Key risks include higher operational costs and potential shifts in construction demand.

Liquidity Services (LQDT) Accelerates ROCE Expansion and Reinvestment, Signals Potential Multi-Bagger

November 7, 2025, 3:32 PM EST. Liquidity Services (LQDT) is turning the corner with a 15% ROCE (vs. a 11% industry avg), as profitability returns and capital employed expands. The firm has moved from losses to profits and is reinvesting more capital-about 84% more-supporting a compounding growth thesis. The higher reliance on current liabilities (41% of assets) signals near-term funding risk from suppliers and short-term creditors to watch. If ROCE can be sustained and reinvestment yields continue to lift margins, the stock could realize a multi-bagger trajectory, consistent with its strong five-year run. Investors should monitor profitability drivers and balance-sheet risk as the story unfolds.

A cautious reader should weigh dividend history and sustainability before chasing a bounce, but the blend of a low RSI, compelling yield, and a top-ranked DividendRank score could mark an entry point for those willing to monitor momentum closely.
