The stock rallied after a 10-year Fluidstack AI hosting deal backed by Google, valued near $3B and expandable to ~$7B, with a ~168 MW footprint.

Australian shares edged lower in choppy trading, with the S&P/ASX 200 slipping to 7,216.6 and the All Ordinaries at 7,508.10, as Wall Street faltered and investors priced in Omicron-related risks.

Datavault AI (DVLT): Fair Value at $3.00 Amid 400% Swing and 4% Rally

October 13, 2025, 9:25 PM EDT. Datavault AI (DVLT) has drawn attention after a dramatic run, surging as much as 400% in the past month and rising about 4% since early May, even as shares remain negative YTD. The analysis suggests a valuation gap: a stated fair value of $3.00 versus a recent close near $1.70. The narrative hinges on bullish growth forecasts, strategic partnerships, and new proprietary data exchanges (International Elements Exchange, NIL Exchange, Political Exchange) on compliant AI-powered infrastructure, signaling potential revenue expansion. Yet the story carries risk if aggressive acquisitions falter or licensing revenue recognition delays hit earnings momentum. Investors are encouraged to review the full narrative to understand the key drivers and risks, and to consider if the current price embeds all future potential or if there’s an opportunity amid volatility.

October 13, 2025, 8:54 PM EDT. An analyst from Jefferies initiated coverage of Pony AI with a Buy rating and a $32.80 price target, helping the stock jump more than 9% on Monday. The move outpaced the S&P 500‘s roughly 1.6% gain and highlights growing interest in AI/autonomous tech names. The note cites a potential long-run opportunity as China’s total addressable transportation market could hit 52 billion yuan by 2030. Jefferies also commends Pony AI’s regulatory navigation and cost discipline. Citigroup has flagged the name for an upside catalyst watch, though specifics weren’t disclosed. Investors should weigh whether Pony AI can sustain momentum as demand for AI-driven mobility expands.

Trump Insider Whale Denies Trading Ties as $340M Bitcoin Short Emerges on Hyperliquid

October 13, 2025, 8:38 PM EDT. A crypto whale known as the ‘HyperUnit Bear Whale’ denied insider trading allegations while opening a new $340 million BTC short on Hyperliquid after depositing $40 million in USDC. The fresh position, backed by 10x leverage, targets a fall in BTC and is currently showing around $700,000 in unrealized profits. This follows a prior run that yielded roughly $200 million by shorting BTC and ETH ahead of Trump’s tariff announcement, which coincided with sweeping liquidations. Blockchain researchers, including Arkham Intelligence, have labeled the wallet a possible Trump insider, though no direct proof ties it to the President. Data from HypurrScan and Hyperunit trace the deposits and the consistent pattern of large Bitcoin shorts.

Palantir (PLTR) 5-Year Return: What a $1,000 Investment Would Be Worth Today

October 13, 2025, 8:09 PM EDT. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has evolved from a government-focused data-analytics supplier to a growing commercial powerhouse. After a sharp 2020 rally and subsequent pullback, the company posted a second-quarter revenue of $1.0 billion, up 48% year over year, with adjusted EPS of $0.16, up 78%. US commercial revenue, led by the AI Platform, rose 93% YoY and now accounts for about 31% of total revenue, while remaining performance obligations climbed 77% to $2.42 billion. If you’d invested $1,000 five years ago, you’d have about $18,320 today. The Stock Advisor team isn’t recommending Palantir today; other opportunities are highlighted in their 10-stock list, underscoring the value of a long-term horizon in AI-driven names.

Boston Scientific (BSX) Valuation After Pullback: Is the Upside Intact?

October 13, 2025, 7:55 PM EDT. Boston Scientific (BSX) has pulled back about 7.6% in the last month even as revenue and profit trends remain solid. The long-term track record is durable, with a 1-year return of 8.5% and a 3-year gain of 132%, suggesting the pullback reflects sentiment more than fundamentals. The near term sees the stock trading at a lofty P/E ratio around 56.2, above peers and the industry average, signaling valuation risk unless growth accelerates. Bulls point to accelerated adoption of FARAPULSE and WATCHMAN, broader indications, and rising physician uptake. Bears warn of ongoing cost pressures and competition from lower-cost devices that could compress margins. The question: is the fair value narrative already priced in, or could there be more upside if revenue and margins reprice?

Lowe’s Valuation Looks Compelling as Shares Stabilize After Volatility

October 13, 2025, 7:54 PM EDT. Lowe’s (LOW) has moved sideways with a modest ~1% gain as volatility fades, leaving investors weighing valuation against growth. The stock trades in the mid-230s after a pullback, yet a valuation narrative argues it’s undervalued, citing a fair value around $281.84 and about 16.8% upside. A higher P/E (≈19.2x vs 15.8x) reflects expectations for margin expansion and steady top-line growth. The stock has delivered roughly 28% in three-year TSR. Risks include integration risk from acquisitions and persistent labor shortages that could pressure margins. If demand for renovation holds and the housing cycle recovers, Lowe’s could see longer-term upside even as near-term volatility fades.

Stock market futures hold steady as banks kick off earnings season

October 13, 2025, 7:53 PM EDT. US stock futures were nearly flat as investors awaited the start of the earnings season with JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo due to report. After a rebound that offset Friday’s tariff-driven drop, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures hovered near the flatline. Banks have led this year’s rally, with analysts expecting rising profits. A government shutdown has delayed key data, including the CPI, retail sales and producer prices, shifting focus to Powell‘s upcoming NABE speech. The data blackout adds uncertainty, underscoring how much markets will rely on central-bank guidance. Earnings begin Tuesday, and a delayed inflation print is expected on Oct. 24, keeping the path for stocks uncertain in the near term.

Crypto’s record liquidation sparks rush to hedges as investors brace for further drop

October 13, 2025, 7:44 PM EDT. Following the largest crypto liquidation in history, investors rushed to hedge against a potential freefall, boosting protective bets in the options market. Bitcoin briefly traded near $105,000 and Ether around $3,436 as panic selling and thin liquidity magnified swings. Traders shifted toward puts with strikes at $115,000 and $95,000 for the October 31 expiry, and noted bearish tilt at $125,000 on the October 17 expiry. For ETH, emphasis centered on the $4,000 and $3,600 strikes for late October, plus sizable $2,600 puts for December. Derive.xyz data show heavy put buying signaling downside protection through year-end. While most altcoins tumbled, sentiment edged higher on softer rhetoric from Trump and a tempered U.S.-China tone.

GameStop: Not Just A Bitcoin Story, The Business Is Thriving – A Market Perspective on GME

October 13, 2025, 7:43 PM EDT. Seeking Alpha contributor Gary Alexander argues that GameStop (NYSE: GME) is evolving beyond its meme-stock narrative into a business with real substance. The piece highlights Alexander’s tech and Wall Street background and his role as a regular contributor, emphasizing fundamentals, catalysts, and a disciplined approach to risk. It also includes a clear disclosure: no current position, but the potential to initiate a long position in GME within a short window. The summary underscores that past performance is not indicative of future results and frames the analysis around independent, opinion-based perspectives on where GME could be headed.

Navitas Semiconductor Surges 21% on Monday as Trump-China Signals and Nvidia Tie-Ins Boost AI Chip Play

October 13, 2025, 7:41 PM EDT. Navitas Semiconductor (NVTS) surged more than 21% on Monday as Trump signaled a thaw in U.S.-China tensions and the company advanced GaN and SiC power devices for Nvidia‘s AI-ready systems. The move came despite exposure to China and a note that Motley Fool Stock Advisor did not include Navitas in its current top picks. The report highlighted Navitas’ collaboration with Nvidia and its China footprint, while management emphasized AI infrastructure demand powering next-gen data centers. Investors remain focused on AI hardware demand even with lingering trade risks. The stock’s rally shows how sentiment around U.S.-China relations and AI chips can drive sharp intraday gains.

Sandisk Stock Surges 15% on Trade News as Price Targets Rise

October 13, 2025, 7:40 PM EDT. Shares of Sandisk (SNDK) jumped over 15% as investors welcomed softer U.S.-China tensions and renewed demand for exports. Two major banks boosted the stock’s targets: Wells Fargo raised the fair value to $115 from $50, and Citigroup lifted its target to $150 from $125 while maintaining a Buy rating. Sandisk’s China exposure-imports from China and a stake in a Chinese plant-helped fuel the rally even amid ongoing tariff debates. The backdrop included President Trump’s posts on Truth Social and chatter about tariffs. The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor and its top-10 list were cited, noting that even sharp near-term moves aren’t guarantees of continued gains.

Tech-led stock rally fuels talk of a 1999-style bubble

October 13, 2025, 7:39 PM EDT. Stocks are climbing to record highs on a tech-led rally fueled by AI spending, with some investors warning the move mirrors the late-1990s surge. The feature notes billions pouring into AI-driven tech-chips, software and cloud names-that have pushed parts of the market higher and higher. Critics argue that valuations for many high-growth names look stretched, raising the risk of a sharp pullback if earnings disappoint or policy shifts threaten multiples. Bulls point to improving profits, rising demand for AI tools and the staying power of tech leadership as reasons the rally could persist. The discussion centers on whether the current mood signals a sustainable uptrend or a bubble in the making.

Is Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT) Undervalued? A Fresh Look at Price and Fair Value

October 13, 2025, 7:38 PM EDT. Four Corners Property Trust (FCPT) trades around $23.84 after a softer run, with a 1-month drop of ~6% and a YTD decline near 11%. Despite weaker near-term momentum, the stock’s three- and five-year total returns stay positive, underscoring resilience. A recent fair-value narrative puts FCPT at about $29.38, suggesting the shares are undervalued versus current prices and analyst targets. The investment case hinges on FCPT’s portfolio of high-quality, e-commerce resistant retail and essential-service properties, which should support stable rents even as retail trends shift. Key risks include softer demand in physical dining and higher interest rates that could pressures earnings growth. For investors, FCPT could represent a value play if the fair value thesis holds and rate headwinds ease.

2 Monster Stocks to Hold for the Next 20 Years: Tesla and Archer Aviation

October 13, 2025, 7:25 PM EDT. Two growth stocks to buy now and hold for two decades are Tesla (TSLA) and Archer Aviation (ACHR). The piece argues that, beyond index funds, select growth names can boost retirement outcomes. Tesla is framed as more than an EV maker; CEO Elon Musk positions it as a AI company, with the Dojo supercomputer powering self-driving progress, robotics, and the upcoming Optimus humanoid robot. Its automotive revenue supports a broader AI-powered opportunity, including a potential robotaxi ecosystem. The addressable market for AI-powered transportation could reach trillions. Archer Aviation is building urban air travel with electric propulsion to ease congestion and shorten trips, positioning it as a long-term growth bet in new mobility.

October 13, 2025, 6:59 PM EDT.

Rigetti Computing Rises 25% on JPMorgan’s $10B Tech Push; Quantum Stock Rally Faces Valuation Scrutiny

October 13, 2025, 6:58 PM EDT. Shares of Rigetti Computing jumped about 25% after JPMorgan disclosed plans to invest up to $10 billion across industries under its Security and Resiliency Initiative, which includes quantum computing. The broader market also rose, helping higher beta names. However, the rally sits against a stretched backdrop: Rigetti trades near a $17.8 billion market cap despite trailing revenue under $8 million and ongoing cash burn. Industry skeptics warn that pure-play quantum stocks still face a long maturation path, even as hype remains. While the stock has amplified gains in the last year, investors should weigh valuation against fundamentals and the lack of near-term profitability. The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor notes differ on Rigetti, offering a broader list of top picks.

Smart Dividend Stocks to Buy With $1,000 Right Now: PepsiCo and Genuine Parts Lead

October 13, 2025, 6:57 PM EDT. Thinking about passive income, this piece argues that dividend stocks from mature, cash-rich businesses can steadily boost your cash flow. The key is firms with strong brands, high free cash flow (FCF), solid business models, and a long history of increasing dividends. The article spotlights two examples you can buy with $1,000: PepsiCo (PEP), a global consumer giant whose quarterly dividend is $1.355 per share and has raised its payout for 52 consecutive years, supported by consistent revenue and growing FCF; and Genuine Parts (GPC), a broad auto and industrial parts distributor with 68 years of dividend increases and a forward yield around 3.1%. With rising earnings in early 2024, both names show potential for continued dividend growth and income diversification.

Groq’s AI Inference Push Could Lift Nvidia and AMD as Startups Drive Chip Demand

October 13, 2025, 6:56 PM EDT. Groq’s language processing unit for AI inference is challenging Nvidia and AMD‘s hold on the market. The AI upgrade cycle has GPUs as a core commodity, and startups like Groq could lift demand for incumbents by pushing faster, more efficient inference. Groq’s $750 million funding raised its valuation to about $7 billion, underscoring investor appetite for AI chips. In turn, Nvidia and AMD stand to benefit as the industry shifts from training models to inference, expanding sales of GPUs and emerging NPUs. AMD already inked a multiyear deal with OpenAI to supply AI compute. If the AI hardware cycle accelerates, the rising tide could lift all boats across the sector.

Steel Dynamics (STLD): Fair Value $151.50 Signals Undervaluation After 11% Monthly Move

October 13, 2025, 6:55 PM EDT. Steel Dynamics (STLD) has surged roughly 11% over the last month, building on a year-to-date gain of about 30% and a 13.6% total return over the past year. The latest analysis argues a fair value of $151.50 versus a recent close near $145.54, suggesting the stock is undervalued as growth remains intact. Key drivers include a ramp-up in the aluminum flat-rolled business into a domestic supply deficit and tariffs that bolster local demand, supporting potential upside in EBITDA and margins. However, risks include possible delays in new facility ramps and softer construction markets, which could challenge the bullish thesis. The narrative leans on aggressive profit expansion and a higher future multiple, but investors should weigh near-term volatility and execution risk.

Copart (CPRT) Valuation After 9% Slide: Is a Buying Opportunity Emerging?

October 13, 2025, 6:54 PM EDT. Copart (CPRT) has fallen about 9% this month, but the company still trades with substantial long-term gains. Three- and five-year total returns sit around 59% and 53%, underscoring durable value despite softer near-term momentum. The key question is whether the pullback creates a buying opportunity or simply reflects tempered growth. The market narrative points to undervalued status versus a highlighted fair value of about 56.00 vs. a last close near 44.07, signaling potential upside. Catalysts include accelerating digital adoption in vehicle auctions and AI-enabled platforms that could lift margins and engagement. Risks include shrinking accident rates and higher costs if growth slows. Weigh the implied upside against near-term uncertainty before trading CPRT.

Franklin Electric (FELE) Valuation Under Scrutiny as Momentum Shifts

October 13, 2025, 6:53 PM EDT. FELE shares have regained some momentum, up 3.7% over the past quarter, even as the 1-year TSR sits at -11.8%. The bull case rests on steady revenue and net income growth, plus modernization of water infrastructure and a shift toward recurring, higher-margin revenue streams (e.g., EVO ONE). Analysts peg a consensus fair value around $108, implying roughly 14% upside from the current price near $92.84. However, a DCF model yields a different view, with a fair value around $84 per share, highlighting questions about growth assumptions baked into prices. Key risks include commodity-price volatility and integration challenges. The stock’s setup mixes valuation gaps with durable earnings momentum and a growing installed base to watch in the quarters ahead.

The move comes amid industry-wide price target tweaks and mixed sentiment from analysts, with The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor highlighting a different slate of top stocks.

Bitcoin Flash Crash Prompts ETF Liquidity Warning: 24/7 Access Seen as Prudent Risk Measure

October 13, 2025, 6:23 PM EDT. Bitcoin’s weekend flash crash exposed a key risk for crypto-linked ETFs. The plunge from about $116,000 to under $110,000 unleashed roughly $19 billion in liquidations and rekindled calls for 24/7 liquidity in BTC ETFs like the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). Industry voices say restricting trading to traditional hours leaves institutions exposed to weekend moves, highlighting the need for prudent risk management and continuous access to liquidity. While direct Bitcoin accounts trade around the clock, flagship ETFs remain bound by stock hours, prompting renewed interest in weekend-capable solutions. BlackRock’s IBIT is the largest crypto ETF with billions in AUM and ongoing net inflows.

October 13, 2025, 6:08 PM EDT.Ripple is partnering with Immunefi to stage an attackathon aimed at the forthcoming XRP Ledger lending protocol.

The move underscores AdvisorNet’s continuing tilt toward core fixed income and diversified bond exposure.

Dow, S&P Rally After U.S. Softens China Tone; Gold and Silver Hit Records

October 13, 2025, 5:54 PM EDT. Stock indices closed higher as the Dow added 587.98 points to 46,067.58, the S&P 500 gained 102.21 to 6,654.72, and the Nasdaq rose 490.18 to 22,694.61, after the U.S. signaled a softer stance on China. Traders cheered a broad rally that snapped a five-day losing streak for the Dow and pointed to easing trade fears. Beyond equities, gold surged to a fresh intraday high around $4,130 per ounce, with spikes toward $4,137, while silver jumped to roughly $51.5-$52 an ounce on safe-haven demand and expectations for looser U.S. monetary policy. Oil firmed as WTI around $59.6 a barrel amid a supply backdrop from OPEC+ and geopolitical risks ahead of more policy moves.

TMC The Metals Company Rockets Higher as Trade War Fears Ease and Critical Materials Rally

October 13, 2025, 5:53 PM EDT. Shares of TMC The Metals Company jumped about 20% on Monday after a Friday selloff tied to escalating U.S.-China tensions. Traders cited a softer tone on the trade war and a renewed focus on critical materials and rare earths supply chains. Although TMC does not yet mine or generate revenue and awaits permits from the U.N. International Seabed Authority, the stock benefited from a broader risk-on rally for speculative names amid hopes for de-escalation. Investors should note the stock’s extreme risk: no current revenue, huge upfront capital needs, and a potential payoff far from assured, despite an 855% gain in 2025.

WaterBridge Infrastructure (WBI) Valuation Under Scrutiny as Shares Slide

October 13, 2025, 5:52 PM EDT. WaterBridge Infrastructure (WBI) slipped about 5% in the latest session, extending a 7-day decline to roughly -6.9% while still being up ~5.9% year-to-date. The stock trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 1.6x, below both the global water utilities industry average (2.1x) and its peer group (3.7x), suggesting a more conservative valuation given profitability is absent and growth is uncertain. With the last close at $24.17, the valuation may reflect investor skepticism about margins or future revenue growth, though a rebound in fundamentals or sector sentiment could push multiples toward norms and unlock upside. The caution persists: lack of profitability and uncertain growth could temper rallies, even as the longer-term trend remains steadier.

J.M. Smucker Valuation Under Review After Recent Price Fluctuations (SJM)

October 13, 2025, 5:51 PM EDT. J. M. Smucker (SJM) has faced price fluctuations with a YTD decline around 5.9% and a 12-month TSR of -7.8%. Some investors wonder if the stock is a bargain or fully reflects earnings recovery. Shares trade below consensus targets, and a popular narrative pegs fair value at $116.19 versus a last close around $104.75. The case for value rests on margin expansion and reinvestment through pricing strategies, SKU rationalization, and investments in e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels. The stock trades at a 1.3x PS ratio, roughly in line with its own fair value but richer than peers. Risks include tariff headwinds and softer organic sales growth. Monitor profitability, cash flow, and the pace of growth catalysts to see if the market has priced in the recovery.

Analysts warn IonQ and Rigetti could fall 62% despite quantum rally

October 13, 2025, 5:36 PM EDT. Quantum-computing stocks IonQ and Rigetti have surged in 2025, with gains of 712% and 5,940% over the last year, fueling both hype and caution. Some analysts warn a sharp pullback-up to 62%-if market optimism wanes or milestones miss. The debate hinges on valuation gaps and execution risk, reflected in wide price-target spreads and thin coverage. Catalysts behind the rally include Rigetti’s 36-qubit multi-chip launch, early commercial orders, and a $5.8 million Air Force contract; IonQ‘s aggressive expansion via acquiring Oxford Ionics for about $1.1 billion to boost ion-trap and networking capabilities. With small caps and volatile sentiment, a single contract win or setback can swing prices, validating or challenging the downside thesis.

Tariffs, TikTok, and an EV Reset: What It Means for Stocks

October 13, 2025, 5:23 PM EDT. Motley Fool’s Emily Flippen and contributors Jason Hall and Dan Caplinger tackle three market questions: Are tariffs actually working, or are costs being borne by consumers and profits? They note stocks have held up as inflation moderates, even if the impact is nuanced. They also discuss how a US sale of TikTok could reshape social shopping just as Prime Day looms. Finally, with the Sept. 30 expiration of federal EV tax credits, demand for Tesla, BYD, and Ford could shift as incentives fade. The discussion frames who pays for tariffs, how social platforms monetize shopping, and what policy changes mean for EV demand-and why Fool listeners should stay tuned for stock ideas.

Social Security COLA 2026: When the Announcement Is Expected and Why It Could Fall Short for Retirees

October 13, 2025, 5:22 PM EDT. Key points: The SSA traditionally announces the COLA in October, based on July-September CPI data from the BLS. With the government shutdown, timing was uncertain, but the BLS later set September’s CPI release for Oct. 24. The Senior Citizens League projects a 2026 COLA of about 2.7%, depending on September data. For the average retiree, that could mean roughly a $56 monthly bump on a $2,000 base. However, higher Medicare Part B premiums-projected to rise to about $206.50 from $185-will offset a good portion of that gain. The bottom line: watch the official SSA announcement to budget for 2026, but don’t rely too heavily on the COLA alone.

GE Vernova Stock Tops Market After Pre-Earnings Price Target Boost

October 13, 2025, 5:21 PM EDT. GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) stock jumped more than 7% Monday, outperforming the S&P 500‘s 1.6% rise. The move came after Susquehanna analyst Charles Minervino boosted his price target to $740 from $736 while keeping a Buy rating ahead of GE Vernova’s upcoming Q3 results. Minervino cited favorable Inflation Reduction Act provisions, including tax credits for qualifying work, as a driver of upside. The report highlights a broader push to boost domestic manufacturing, with GE Vernova among the beneficiaries. The piece also references Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor notes, reminding readers that stock picks and timing vary. Investors should weigh the potential from a policy-backed backdrop and the company’s earnings cadence as catalysts for the stock.

National Beverage (FIZZ) Hits Oversold RSI of 29.8; Possible Buy Point

October 13, 2025, 5:20 PM EDT. National Beverage Corp. (FIZZ) slipped into oversold territory on Monday as its RSI fell to 29.8, with shares trading as low as $41.145. By comparison, the SPY RSI sits near 48.9, underscoring a momentum gap between this name and the broad market. A potential buy-side entry point may emerge if selling pressure begins to exhaust itself. FIZZ trades within its 52-week range of $41.105 to $53.48, with the latest trade at $41.15. The note nods to Warren Buffett’s adage about fear and greed, suggesting contrarian buyers might look for a stabilization before stepping in. Readers may want to monitor this oversold setup alongside other names.

3 Made-in-USA Coins to Watch After the Weekend Crypto Crash

October 13, 2025, 5:08 PM EDT. Following last weekend’s crypto crash, three Made-in-USA coins show resilience. ZEN (Horizen) trades around $14.37 and has bullish MACD momentum, with a potential move above $15 if volume rises. The risk is a pullback toward $13.12. BAT (Basic Attention Token) has rebounded about 63% to $0.2102 and sits above its 20-day EMA at $0.1572, signaling ongoing bullishness with a target near $0.2324. SUPRA continues its recovery after a Friday dip, climbing as the first DeFi-focused US-made token. If the trend persists, these names could extend gains as markets stabilize. Note: watch price action, volume, and key moving-average levels for confirmation.

Papa John’s (PZZA) valuation after decline: fair value near $52.10 implies upside

October 13, 2025, 5:07 PM EDT. Papa John’s shares closed at $41.59, down about 17% in the last month and roughly 12% over the past year. The bulls point to a fair value near $52.10, suggesting the stock is undervalued at current levels. The thesis hinges on catalysts like a broader marketing push (up to $25 million), enhanced CRM capabilities, and the Papa Rewards program to boost customer loyalty and frequency, potentially lifting revenue and ticket size. Yet risks include ongoing margins pressure and slower regional growth, which could threaten the bullish case and heighten valuation risk. While the headline undervaluation is appealing, some metrics show a premium to peers, making execution on growth and margin stabilization key to sustaining upside.

NextNav (NN) Crosses Below 200-Day Moving Average as Shares Slide

The stock’s 52-week range spans $7.76 to $18.54, with a last trade near $13.44. A break under the 200-day moving average can signal renewed downside risk as traders weigh longer-term trend lines. The chart shows one-year performance versus the moving average, and the article notes a link to nine other stocks that recently crossed below their own 200-day MA.

Wall Street rallies as Trump softens China stance; major indexes notch gains

October 13, 2025, 5:04 PM EDT. Stocks closed higher Monday as Trump softened his stance on China, sparking relief after days of tariff threats. The S&P 500 rose about 1.6%, reclaiming roughly half of Friday’s drop, while the Dow Jones jumped around 587 points and the Nasdaq gained about 2.2%. Investors priced in a potential de-escalation in trade tensions and anticipated Fed rate cuts. Analysts at Morgan Stanley warned a sustained recovery could unfold if tensions ease into 2026. Still, doubts linger over lofty equity valuations and fears in the AI sector resemble bubble-era caution. Broadcom surged roughly 9.9% on Monday after an earnings update. The market’s move reflected a sharp reversal from Friday’s losses, fueled by Trump‘s social-media thread urging calm on tariffs and a possible truce with China.

Ethereum, Solana and MAGACOIN FINANCE Among Best Altcoins to Buy in Oversold Market

October 13, 2025, 4:53 PM EDT. Market observers view the current crypto selloff as an oversold backdrop offering selective entries. Ethereum (ETH) holds critical support around $3,810 with a potential rebound toward $4,280 as ETF inflows and the upcoming Fusaka scaling upgrade boost liquidity. Solana (SOL) shows cautious upside as institutional interest returns, with a base near $185 opening a path toward the $230-$245 zone if demand strengthens. The sector highlights MAGACOIN FINANCE as a verified smart-contract project drawing retail and institutional momentum. Negative financing rates and easing derivatives pressure support a revival narrative, though a break below $3,350 or $177 for ETH/SOL could trigger deeper retracements. Overall, the trio is positioned as top picks in an oversold market.

As of Oct. 3, 2025, QQXT trades around $99.56 per share, with a 1-year total return of 7.1% and a dividend yield of 0.7%. The ETF tracks the NASDAQ-100 Ex-Technology Sector Index, an equal-weighted, non-tech sleeve of large-cap names, offering diversified exposure to consumer, healthcare and industrials. The trade suggests continued appetite for large-cap U.S. stocks beyond tech, even if QQXT trails the S&P 500 over the past year.

U.S. Stocks Rally After Friday Sell-Off; Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow Rebound

October 13, 2025, 4:51 PM EDT. U.S. stocks staged a substantial rebound on Monday, with the Nasdaq gaining about 2.2% to 22,694.61, the S&P 500 up roughly 1.6% to 6,654.72, and the Dow jumping 1.3% to 46,067.58. The morning rally paused near session highs as traders reassessed after last Friday’s decline sparked by worries over a U.S.-China trade war and tariff threats. A softer tone from President Trump on Truth Social helped ease tensions. With major data light and earnings in focus-Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley due to report-sector leadership came from semiconductors, gold stocks, and other cyclicals. The market also tracked international sentiment as Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed amid a government shutdown backdrop.

S&P 500 eyes 20-day moving average as key near-term level; focus on 50-day, VIX and earnings

October 13, 2025, 4:50 PM EDT. Market watchers say the S&P 500’s ability to hold the 20-day moving average after Friday’s dip and Monday’s recovery is the near-term make-or-break for the rally. The index slipped below the 20-day MA at 6,667 on Friday for only the fourth time since mid-April, and closed Monday around 6,654. A retake of the level could keep the uptrend intact, while a break could push traders to watch the 50-day moving average for support. The VIX eased after spiking toward the low 20s, as Trump’s latest posts cooled, but volatility remains on investors’ radar ahead of JPMorgan and other bank earnings. Regional banks and transports will also be scrutinized for any turn in leadership.

UAMY Stock Soars on Pentagon Deal, $51M Funding Push

October 13, 2025, 4:49 PM EDT. U.S. Antimony (UAMY) surged after a landmark Pentagon contract and fresh funding. The stock closed around $15.84 on Oct 13, 2025, up about 32% on record volume, lifting its market cap to roughly $2.1-2.2B from under $200M a month earlier. The company won a sole-source five-year contract worth up to $245M for antimony ingots, plus an initial $10M delivery order. It then raised $51.25M via two equity placements in early October. Fundamentals remain lean: trailing revenue near $25M, 1H 2025 sales up ~160% YoY, guiding $40-50M for 2025 and $100M for 2026, with negative earnings (TTM EPS ~ -$0.01). Analysts largely rate Buy/Strong Buy, but 12-month targets imply a fair value near $7.50-$9.

Morgan Stanley’s Wilson warns of larger-than-expected correction if Trump-China tensions persist

October 13, 2025, 4:48 PM EDT. Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley’s chief U.S. equity strategist, says US stocks could face a 10%-15% correction if Washington and Beijing fail to de-escalate trade tensions by November. The note follows renewed volatility, a weaker index backdrop, and the unwinding of crowded trades as investors digest China’s rare earth controls and Trump’s tariff stance. Wilson argues the correction would be larger than expected given stretched valuations and optimistic positioning, especially for sectors with direct China exposure such as semiconductors and quantum computing. He favors defensive exposures-healthcare, the quality factor-and other hedges amid policy uncertainty. If talks stretch into November without a deal, the S&P 500 could slip further, underscoring the fragile foundation of the year’s late-cycle rally.

Navan Seeks $6.45B IPO Valuation – 30% Haircut From 2022

October 13, 2025, 4:47 PM EDT. Navan, the Palo Alto-based corporate travel and expense management company formerly known as TripActions, is pursuing an IPO with a valuation of up to $6.45 billion – about 30% below its $9.2 billion private valuation from the 2022 fundraising. The offering could raise up to $960 million by selling 36.9 million shares at $24 to $26 on the Nasdaq under the ticker NAVN. The listing marks a pivotal moment as public markets show renewed interest after a subdued stretch, giving Navan a chance to capitalize on demand for modern spend management. The $9.2 billion private round in 2022 underscores the contrast with the public valuation, reflecting market conditions as Navan charts a path to its first public float.

October 13, 2025, 4:46 PM EDT. Validea’s Dreman Contrarian model rates WARNER BROS DISCOVERY INC (WBD) at 54%, the top pick among 22 guru strategies for this stock.

Total debt/equity passes. The contrarian approach targets unpopular large/mid caps with improving fundamentals. With a modest score, the stock shows some fundamental positives (debt/equity) but remains unattractive on several traditional valuation and profitability tests today. Additional David Dreman context and Validea methodology are noted.

Trump Tariff Talk Sparks Brief but Dramatic Crypto Sell-Off

October 13, 2025, 4:18 PM EDT. Crypto briefly but dramatically crashed as investors dumped risky assets after President Trump threatened new tariffs on Chinese imports. The move sparked a risk-off wave that sent Bitcoin from about $122,500 to a low near $104,600 and Ethereum down around 20%, with smaller coins suffering steeper losses-Dogecoin plunging over 50% and even the Trump-themed $TRUMP coin tumbling about 63%. The session produced roughly $19 billion in liquidations and left about 1.6 million traders with closed positions, per CoinGlass and the Kobeissi Letter. Equity benchmarks also slid: the Nasdaq fell 3.56%, the S&P 500 hit its worst day since April. Much of the move reflected leverage-driven liquidations in a 24/7 market, amplifying volatility as investors fled into Treasuries and gold.

KVUE Yields Above 5%: Dividend Stability Headlines KVUE’s Appeal

October 13, 2025, 4:07 PM EDT. KVUE is trading with a yield above 5% based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $0.83), with the day’s low around $16.27. Dividends can be a meaningful portion of total return, a factor investors weigh against price moves. By contrast, a SPY example shows how dividends boosted returns over years even when price fell. KVUE is a constituent of the S&P 500, lending visibility and a degree of profitability stability. The company has grown its dividend for more than 20 years, a track record that supports the current yield. Investors should assess dividend sustainability to judge whether the 5% yield can be maintained going forward.

Compared with the real estate sector, the FRT.PRC line remains mid-pack on yield but offers a steady dividend history and priority over common shares.

FULTP also traded at a 21% discount to its liquidation preference, wider than the Financial category’s average 5.12% discount. The issue is non-cumulative, so missed payments aren’t carried forward. The valuation and discount to liquidation value underscore the risk/return profile of non-cumulative bank preferreds, even as the common Fulton (FULT) in Monday’s action remained roughly flat.

At last close, WAL.PRA traded about 14.20% below its liquidation preference, versus roughly 8.88% typical in the Financial category. Importantly, the shares are non-cumulative, so missed payments are not carried forward before resuming dividends. In Monday’s session, WAL.PRA fell about 0.8% while the common shares (WAL) rose roughly 4%. Investors should weigh credit risk, liquidity, and the non-cumulative structure when evaluating this issue.

The note also contrasts the current high-yield mood in the preferred space with ongoing price action across the utility sector.

The issue is non-cumulative, meaning missed payments do not accrue to future dividends before common dividends. In Monday trading, USB.PRA was down about 2.2%, while the common stock USB rose about 1.8%. Investors should review the dividend history chart and consider risks of non-cumulative preferreds before nibbling.

Quantum Computing Inc. Stock Jumps 11% on JPMorgan Security Investment News

October 13, 2025, 4:01 PM EDT. Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) jumped about 11% midday as major indices rallied, after JPMorgan Chase unveiled a plan to invest $10 billion across key U.S. security-related industries through its Security and Resiliency Initiative. CEO Jamie Dimon argued that the United States has become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals and manufacturing, a narrative some bulls say could benefit early-stage quantum players. But QUBT remains controversial: trailing sales are under $300,000 in the last year, the company is still deeply unprofitable, and the stock carries dilution risk from frequent equity sales. Critics caution that the valuation seems driven by hype rather than fundamentals, even as investors weigh the stock against broader market strength.

TJX trades around $141.77, up about 23% YTD, buoyed by strength in its off-price model and solid quarterly results. The trim could signal routine rebalancing rather than a loss of conviction in the retailer.

Aclarion Stock Surges 32% After ISPN Conference Presentation

Regency Centers (REG) Valuation Signals Opportunity After Price Dip

October 13, 2025, 3:58 PM EDT. Regency Centers (REG) recently closed at $70.37, trimming roughly 1% over the past month, though the stock has still delivered a 3.4% annualized total return. The bull case centers on a fair value around $79.75, suggesting the name remains undervalued after the pullback. Support comes from a strong balance sheet (low leverage, ample liquidity) and an UPREIT structure enabling accretive acquisitions. If these drivers persist, management can lift EPS through scale and opportunistic deals, underpinning a longer-term uptrend. Risks include tenant bankruptcies or a softer retail cycle that could pressure earnings. With the price below near-term targets, Regency Centers presents a potential buying opportunity for patient investors, albeit with earnings headwinds that warrant careful monitoring.

Tariff Shock Triggers $19B Crypto Liquidations as BTC Dives, Then Rebounds

October 13, 2025, 3:57 PM EDT. Trump’s tariff pledge sent shockwaves through markets, unleashing a wave of leveraged crypto liquidations. Coinglass data show more than 1.6 million traders were liquidated in 24 hours as Bitcoin and Ethereum led the downside and altcoins bore steeper losses. Open interest in Bitcoin futures fell by over 30%, pushing funding rates negative and exposing the fragility of automated risk models amid sudden volatility. The broader pain spurred a swift rebound for BTC after the initial dump, signaling a rapid liquidity shift after a rare macro shock spilled into digital assets. Traders described the move as a stress test for market structure and derivatives risk management.

AI Infrastructure Boom: Which Stocks Could Benefit From a $325B AI Spend

October 13, 2025, 3:42 PM EDT.

The discussion highlights how a handful of stocks stand to profit from this surge, with three picks and three industry predictions on tap. The hosts compare historic AI-driven gains and emphasize the scale of corporate AI investment as a catalyst for growth. If you’re weighing the AI opportunity, this episode frames the roadmap for investors eyeing AI infrastructure leaders and the trend’s trajectory.

The AI Infrastructure Opportunity: Why $325B of Spending Could Boost AI Stocks

October 13, 2025, 3:41 PM EDT. Motley Fool Money hosts Tim Beyers, Yasser El-Shimy, and Asit Sharma discuss the scale of AI infrastructure spending. The NYT-reported figure projects $325 billion by year end from Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and OpenAI. They frame this as a long cycle where select AI stocks stand to profit, not just a few headline names, and they offer three predictions for the industry. The episode leans on historic stock picks like Netflix and Nvidia to illustrate outsized gains once a recommendation hits the top 10, as highlighted by Stock Advisor’s strong track record. They also note Alibaba wasn’t in the current top 10 and point listeners to the latest list for ideas. In short, a big, persistent opportunity for patient investors.

The A.I. Boom and the Spectre of 1929: Lessons for Today’s Markets

October 13, 2025, 3:26 PM EDT. Today’s A.I. boom sits under the shadow of the 1929 crash. As stocks swing on tariff headlines and techno-optimism, bankers warn that a check or drawdown could arrive. Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon cautions about a potential drawdown; JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon says he’s far more worried than most about a big market fall. A near 900-point Dow swing on tariff news, followed by a rebound, shows how digital-era volatility can echo historic shocks. The 1929 rise and fall culminated in a Dow decline of about 90% by 1932 and the onset of the Great Depression. The piece uses that memory to frame today’s speculative frenzy, reminding readers that the allure of AI riches can carry lasting costs for wealth and the real economy.

China rejects US trade curbs as talks with Trump-Xi stay on track, markets wary

October 13, 2025, 3:10 PM EDT. Beijing rejects the latest U.S. restrictions and vows to defend its rights and interests, even as Trump warns of new tariffs. China urges Washington to honor prior commitments after expanding export controls on rare earths, intensifying a tit-for-tat with the world’s two largest economies.

He also suggested the 100% tariff remains unlikely before Nov. 1. While Beijing’s tone is combative, officials say de-escalation talks continue. Investors will watch upcoming discussions for concrete steps that could shape growth, supply chains, and the trajectory of U.S.-China relations.

Swisscom fell almost 2%; Swiss Re, Zurich Insurance, Logitech, Julius Baer, Galderma Group and Novartis declined 0.4-1%. Markets across Europe remained cautious amid France’s budget turmoil and stock-specific trading.

PicPay Weighs US IPO This Year as Profit Surges and Expansion Accelerates

October 13, 2025, 2:57 PM EDT. PicPay is reportedly targeting a US IPO this year, aiming to raise about $500 million with banks guiding the listing. The fintech, known for digital wallets, cards and loans, posted profit growth in the first half of 2025 and revenue up 91%, along with 64 million accounts and 41.3 million active users. Bloomberg cites unnamed sources; PicPay did not comment. The plan echoes a prior 2021 Nasdaq listing idea that was scrapped. In 2024-25, PicPay expanded access to Brazil’s Pix system via WhatsApp, a move to boost visibility and fuel expansion at home. If it proceeds, the IPO would mark a milestone for a fast-growing fintech and could attract new investors.

Where Will Amazon Stock Be in 1 Year? AI Momentum, AWS Strength, and a Cautious Path Ahead

October 13, 2025, 2:12 PM EDT. Amazon has rebounded to near an all-time high, up about 55% over the past year. The rally is driven by AI momentum, anchored by AWS and strategic bets such as a $4 billion investment in Anthropic, plus a fast-growing digital advertising business that topped $12 billion in Q1 2024. The company posted net sales of $143 billion in Q1, up 13% YoY, and net income rose to over $10 billion, aided by tight cost control. Despite the positives, Amazon warned of slowed growth in Q2, with net sales growth guided at 7-11% and FX headwinds. With a P/E around 56 near a multiyear low, a path to multiple expansion exists, but a retreat could occur if growth slows-leaving Amazon tracking last year’s pace or facing a potential pullback.

The filing reflects the Q3 move per the SEC.

Coinbase (COIN) Slips as Bitcoin Cashback Card Debuts With AmEx

The program offers up to 4% in Bitcoin on purchases, with rewards based on the user’s assets on the platform and limited to Coinbase One subscribers, with no foreign transaction fees. The card, featuring the Genesis Block, signals Coinbase’s push into crypto as a payment medium. However, critics like Marty Bent argue Coinbase is steering users toward “worthless tokens,” stirring debate about the firm’s crypto stance. On Wall Street, analysts show a Moderate Buy consensus (14 Buys, 10 Holds, 2 Sells) and a $384.41 price target implying ~9.22% upside after last year’s rally. Shares drifted lower on the news.

October 13, 2025, 1:56 PM EDT.

Thermo Fisher provides life sciences tools and services across multiple segments and clients globally.

This Vanguard ETF Could Turn $5 a Day Into a Millionaire Portfolio

October 13, 2025, 1:55 PM EDT. Becoming a stock market millionaire can be within reach with the right vehicle. The Vanguard S&P 500 Growth ETF (VOOG) tracks large-cap growth stocks inside the S&P 500, offering exposure to tech leaders while leveraging the stability of established brands. By focusing on the 214 holdings with the highest growth potential, VOOG blends growth and diversification, which can reduce risk compared with niche bets. The fund has posted about a 17.49% annualized return over the past decade, though past performance isn’t a guarantee. If you invest $5 per day (roughly $150 per month), the math suggests sizable accumulations: about $248k in 20 years, $568k in 25 years, and $1.285M in 30 years. Long time horizons and risk tolerance matter.

Lumen Technologies Stock: Is the AI-Driven Turnaround Enough to Justify the Rally?

October 13, 2025, 1:54 PM EDT. Lumen Technologies’ stock has more than doubled since April as AI-driven demand for its PCF projects returns investor attention. Major wins include contracts from Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon to use Lumen’s fiber for data-center connectivity, with AT&T agreeing to buy its mass-market fiber unit for $5.75 billion-a potential capital boost for its PCF push. Yet the company remains financially fragile: revenue fell ~3% in H1 2025 to about $6.3 billion, and net income was a loss of over $1.1 billion due to goodwill impairment, high interest expenses, and debt retirement charges. With roughly $18 billion of debt against a $7 billion market cap, further revenue declines and interest burdens could cap upside. Investors should weigh the growth potential of PCF against the debt risk and ongoing profitability headwinds.

AbbVie Wins FDA Label Expansion for Rinvoq in Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease

October 13, 2025, 1:53 PM EDT. AbbVie (ABBV) announced the FDA approved a supplemental NDA updating Rinvoq’s indication for treating adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The label now allows use after at least one approved systemic therapy when TNF blockers are clinically inadvisable, expanding beyond the prior requirement of inadequate response or intolerance to TNF blockers. AbbVie’s Kori Wallace notes the update helps providers treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease who need therapy after one systemic option. Rinvoq, or upadacitinib, is a small-molecule JAK inhibitor. This regulatory development could broaden Rinvoq’s addressable market in the UC/CD space and impact payer and prescriber dynamics.

IXUS tracks the MSCI ACWI ex USA Investable Market Index, providing broad exposure to non-U.S. developed and emerging markets. The exit may reflect a shift away from non-U.S. equity exposure amid currency volatility and changing growth forecasts, signaling a tilt toward stability over international expansion.

Sorkin: Anxious About a 1929-Style Crash as AI-Fueled Rally Grows

October 13, 2025, 1:38 PM EDT. CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin told CBS News he’s anxious the stock market could be on the brink of a 1929-style crash. He compares today’s AI-driven surge to the roaring ’20s that preceded the Great Depression, noting a debt-fueled speculative vibe. With the S&P 500 up about 13% and the Dow roughly 9% this year, and hundreds of billions flowing into AI, he warns the rally may be a bubble rather than sustainable growth. He calls the AI boom either a gold rush or a sugar rush, uncertain for a couple of years. The discussion highlights easy credit in 1929-era parallels and questions whether the market is being artificially propped up by tech-driven fervor.

October 13, 2025, 12:59 PM EDT. Validea’s Graham-based fundamental test rates OPENDOOR TECHNOLOGIES INC (OPEN) at 57% under the Benjamin Graham framework.

OPEN is categorized as a mid-cap growth stock in Real Estate Operations. The result suggests mixed value signals with notable weaknesses in growth and valuation despite the Graham framework’s emphasis on buyable bargains.

RETURN ON ASSETS: PASS, RETURN ON ASSETS VARIANCE: FAIL, SALES VARIANCE: FAIL, ADVERTISING TO ASSETS: FAIL, CAPITAL EXPENDITURES TO ASSETS: PASS, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO ASSETS: PASS. Overall, RGTI carries mixed signals, with selective positives in CFO/assets, capex/assets, and R&D/assets, but notable ROA and variance gaps temper the outlook under this model.

Validea Pim van Vliet Multi-Factor Rating Sees JPMorgan Chase (JPM) At 93%

October 13, 2025, 12:57 PM EDT. Validea’s guru analysis for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) using Pim van Vliet’s multi-factor framework yields a 93% rating, signaling strong interest. The model targets low-volatility stocks with momentum and healthy fundamentals; JPM passes on Market Cap and Standard Deviation tests, with Momentum and Net Payout Yield returning Neutral readings, and Final Rank as a Pass.

BMNR is described as a large-cap growth stock in the Computer Services industry, though the Fool strategy targets small-cap growth, which may limit the score’s applicability.

Prestige Consumer Healthcare: Fundamentals Look Strong – Could The Market Be Wrong About PBH?

October 13, 2025, 12:50 PM EDT. Prestige Consumer Healthcare (PBH) has dropped 19% over three months, but fundamentals look decent. The trailing twelve months ROE is 11% (US$213m net income on US$1.9b equity as of June 2025). That means $0.11 profit per $1 of equity. Although respectable, the industry average ROE is 18%, and PBH’s net income declined 2.3% over five years. In contrast, the industry earnings grew about 9.8% during the same period. The combination of a high but industry-lower ROE and shrinking earnings suggests possible issues with earnings retention or capital allocation. The piece asks whether the market has priced in PBH’s growth challenges, and whether the stock is mispriced relative to its earnings trajectory.

Douglas Lane & Associates disclosed a Q3 sale of 22,113 GoDaddy shares, estimated at $3.4 million, leaving the fund with 668,472 shares worth about $91.5 million as of Sept. 30, 2025.

The Foolish Take notes the trim signals reducing exposure to a volatile tech name after a rough stretch, with GoDaddy down ~40% from January highs despite steady fundamentals. Q2 revenue $1.21B and EPS $1.41, but forward guidance remained cautious.

2 Dividend Stocks to Double Up on Right Now: VICI and Starbucks

October 13, 2025, 12:39 PM EDT. With growth stocks steering the market, this piece argues investors shouldn’t overlook dividend stocks for income and resilience. It highlights VICI Properties (VICI), a diversified REIT with trophy assets on the Las Vegas Strip, offering a 6% yield and a history of dividend growth despite rising interest rates, thanks to lower vacancy risk. It also notes Starbucks (SBUX), whose businesses face China and U.S. headwinds but remain profitable, with a cash-rich profile and a dividend yield at a multi-year high as the stock slides. As expectations grow for Fed rate cuts later this year, the argument favors income-oriented long-term holdings rather than chasing only growth stocks.

Bloom Energy (BE) surged 28% following Brookfield’s $5B AI data center pledge, underscoring AI infrastructure demand. Trump kept pressure on Beijing, while China’s export growth beat forecasts.

Salesforce’s Recovery Potential Is Stretching Like A Spring (NYSE:CRM)

October 13, 2025, 12:35 PM EDT. Salesforce’s stock looks poised for a spring-like rebound as demand for cloud software steadies. The note argues CRM could unlock value through operating leverage, improving gross margins, and a shift toward higher-margin, subscription-based offerings. Catalysts include AI-enabled products, broader cross-sales across the platform, and renewed customer spend in core clouds. While near-term macro softness and competitive pressure temper confidence, a steadier revenue trajectory and healthier cash flow could lift the shares. The piece highlights the importance of clear guidance, disciplined capital allocation, and earnings quality as proof points for upside. Taken together, CRM’s recovery hinges on execution and AI-driven expansion continuing to translate into real profitability.

BitMine Adds 202,037 ETH in Aggressive Buy Amid Sell-off; Tom Lee Highlights Volatility Advantage

October 13, 2025, 12:34 PM EDT. BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) disclosed an aggressive accumulation of 202,037 ETH worth about $827 million during the weekend sell-off, lifting total holdings to over 3 million ETH (roughly $13.4 billion in assets). The average price cited was about $4,154 per ETH. Tom Lee of Fundstrat framed the move as a disciplined use of volatility to gain a long-term advantage, noting the price decline created opportunity and that BitMine is more than halfway toward its target dubbed the alchemy of 5% of ETH. Analysts say such treasury buying could spur peers. Despite the buys, BMNR shares have fallen roughly 10% in five days amid broader market chaos and a short-seller report.

Energy Fuels Explodes Higher as U.S. Critical Minerals Push Gains Momentum

October 13, 2025, 12:33 PM EDT. Energy Fuels (UUUU) jumped about 18% after China signaled tighter rare-earth exports, highlighting supply-chain risk for uranium and other critical materials. In Washington, defense plans to guard supply lines are accelerating: the U.S. Department of Defense will build a $1 billion stockpile of critical minerals, and JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon says the bank will invest $10 billion over the next decade across defense, AI, energy tech and manufacturing. Energy Fuels recently raised $700 million in convertible debt, extending its timeline to scale its rare-earth and uranium businesses, even as annual cash burn runs around $115 million. Shares trade well above 200x next year’s earnings, keeping a cautious stance. Some analysts disagree with the stock’s appeal, even as policy momentum supports the sector.

October 13, 2025, 12:32 PM EDT. On Monday, NextDecade Corp (NEXT) slid into oversold territory as the RSI printed 28.9.

A bullish reader might interpret the 28.9 as selling exhaustion and look for a buy side entry.

National Health Investors Enters Oversold Territory as RSI Dips to 29.8

October 13, 2025, 12:29 PM EDT. Dividend Channel’s DividendRank places NHI in the top half of its coverage universe, highlighting strong fundamentals and favorable valuation. On Wednesday, NHI traded as low as $49.70, slipping into oversold territory with an RSI of 29.8. The stock’s annualized dividend of $3.60 yields about 7.04% at the nearby $51.15 price. A potential bounce could emerge as the RSI signal suggests momentum fatigue, but investors should review dividend history and earnings stability before acting. While a falling price can lift yield, due diligence remains essential, and not every oversold reading guarantees a quick rebound.

YieldBoost on EG: April 2026 $350 Covered Call Could Yield ~14.8%

October 13, 2025, 12:28 PM EDT. Everest Group Ltd (EG) shareholders can boost income by selling the April 2026 covered call at the $350 strike, collecting the $22.10 premium which annualizes to about 12.5%, for a total ~14.8% annualized yield if the stock is not called away. If EG rises above $350, upside is capped, but the stock would only need to advance ~0.7% to be called, delivering about 7.1% from the trade plus any pre-call dividends. The article notes the base 2.3% dividend and discusses its volatility (~24% trailing 12-month) and dividend predictability. It also points to option volume context and invites readers to explore the EG options page for more ideas.

YieldBoost AMETEK: From 0.7% Dividend to ~5.4% with a March 2026 Covered Call

October 13, 2025, 12:27 PM EDT. AMETEK Inc (AME) offers a YieldBoost by selling the March 2026 call at the $200 strike and collecting the $3.70 bid premium, adding an annualized 4.7% to the stock’s 0.7% dividend for a total of ~5.4% if the shares aren’t called away. A rise above $200 would cap upside, but the stock would need to rally ~10.1% to be called away, yielding ~12.1% in that scenario in addition to any dividends already received. The piece notes a current price around $182.34 and trailing twelve-month volatility of ~23%. Dividend history and fundamental checks help judge if the 0.7% yield is sustainable and whether the strategy fits the risk/reward profile.

YieldBoost MET: 9.7% Annualized Return Using Jan 2027 Covered Call on MetLife (MET)

October 13, 2025, 12:26 PM EDT. MetLife (MET) holders can boost income by selling the January 2027 $82.50 covered call, earning a $7.00 bid and locking in an additional 6.9% annualized yield alongside the stock’s 2.8% dividend for a total of about 9.7% if MET stays below $82.50. If shares are called away, upside is capped beyond that level, but a move of roughly 2.5% above current levels would trigger the call, delivering about 11.2% total return plus dividends. The strategy rests on dividend reliability, stock volatility (about 29% trailing) and a price near $80.64. The article notes market activity like high call volume, debunks common options myths, and points to other ideas.

YieldBoost LKQ: Turn 4.2% Yield Into ~11% With a May 2026 Covered Call

October 13, 2025, 12:25 PM EDT. Investors in LKQ Corp can boost income by selling the May 2026 covered call at the $35 strike and collecting the $1.15 premium. At the current price, this premium annualizes to about 6.8% on top of the existing 4.2% dividend yield, for a total potential ~11% annualized return if the stock stays below the strike. Upside beyond $35 would be lost if called away, but LKQ would need to rise roughly 21.4% to trigger the call. If exercised, the trade yields about 25.4% from this level plus any dividends collected beforehand. Note that dividend reliability varies and can change with profitability.

YieldBoost on EQIX: From 2.3% to 6.1% Annualized via December 2026 Covered Call

October 13, 2025, 12:24 PM EDT. Equinix Inc (EQIX) shareholders can boost income by selling the December 2026 covered call at the $1000 strike, capturing a premium near $35 that annualizes to a 3.7% gain. In the baseline, this yields a total of 6.1% annualized if the stock stays below the strike. If EQIX is called away, upside beyond $1000 is forfeited, unless shares rally about 25.4% from current levels; in that case, holders would realize roughly 29.8% plus any dividends collected before expiration. The approach blends dividend yield (~2.3%) with option income, though dividends are not guaranteed and depend on profitability. The YieldBoost framework emphasizes weighing volatility and risk before selling calls.

Marqeta (MQ) Shares Dip Below 200-Day Moving Average

October 13, 2025, 12:23 PM EDT. MQ crossed below its 200-day moving average (200-DMA) of about $4.86, trading as low as $4.58 and down roughly 7% on the session. The move comes as MQ sits near the lower end of its 52-week range ($3.37–$7.04), with a last trade around $4.67. A break below the 200-DMA can be a bearish technical signal that may invite further near-term downside; traders will watch for volume and any nearby support. Fundamentals and broader market tone will continue to shape MQ’s longer-term path.

YieldBoost Strategy: VSEC 12.3% Annualized Yield With April 2026 Covered Call

October 13, 2025, 12:22 PM EDT. Investors in VSE Corp. (VSEC) can deploy a YieldBoost by selling the April 2026 covered call at the $180 strike and collecting the $9.50 bid premium, which annualizes to about 12%. This yields roughly 12.3% annualized if the stock stays below $180. Upside beyond $180 is capped if called away, but the stock would need to rise about 15.8% to trigger that, potentially delivering a 22% return from this level plus any pre-existing dividends. The base dividend remains 0.3% annualized. Historical data show a trailing twelve month volatility around 48%. Note that dividend amounts can be unpredictable; the strategy trades off upside for option premium. Current activity shows elevated call volume, indicating demand for calls in today’s market.

YieldBoost Strategy for Vishay (VSH): Covered Calls to Raise Yield from 2.6% to 13.9%

October 13, 2025, 12:21 PM EDT. Investors seeking higher income from Vishay Intertechnology (VSH) can pursue a December 2026 covered-call strategy. By selling the $17.50 strike call and collecting the roughly $2.05 bid premium, the option’s annualized yield runs about 11.3%, boosting the stock’s dividend yield of roughly 2.6% to a combined 13.9% if the shares aren’t called away. If VSH is called above $17.50, the upside is capped, but the trade could deliver about 27.3% from this level plus any dividends earned before assignment. The approach relies on volatility and profitability; Vishay’s 58% trailing volatility and a stock price around $15.59 shape risk and reward. Readers should consider liquidity, time to expiration, and tax effects before implementing.

Texas Prop 6: TXSE, Nasdaq Back Ban on Securities Taxes

October 13, 2025, 12:19 PM EDT. Texans will vote on Proposition 6 to ban occupation taxes on securities venues and taxes on securities transactions, part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s Texas Capital Markets package. The proposal would bar taxes on stock exchanges, brokers and other market players, and would prevent a state-level securities transactions tax. Supported by TXSE and Nasdaq proponents as a move to attract trading activity, it sits among 17 amendments on the ballot. Proponents argue the measure protects savers and invites capital, while critics warn it could raise inequality and reduce state revenue. With the growth of the Texas Stock Exchange and ties to NYSE/Nasdaq, the ballot hinges on how voters weigh market competitiveness against fiscal concerns. Election Day is Nov. 4; early voting begins Oct. 20.

Stocks rebound after Trump softens China tariffs tone; tech-led rally led Monday gains

October 13, 2025, 12:08 PM EDT. Stocks rebound after Trump softens tone on China tariffs, easing trade-tension fears.

The market mood turned to risk-on as Trump suggested on social media that ‘all will be fine’ with China, and Xi Jinping ‘doesn’t want Depression for his country.’ Analysts noted the lull could be fragile with earnings season approaching. This week kicks off with U.S. banks reporting results on Tuesday; United Airlines and Johnson & Johnson also report. Chipmakers led early gains: AMD +3.4%, Micron +4.9%, Broadcom and NVIDIA up near 3%.

Group 1 Automotive: Five-Year Total Return Tops EPS Growth Amid Modest Valuation

October 13, 2025, 12:07 PM EDT.Group 1 Automotive (NYSE:GPI) has delivered a striking five-year total return even as recent pullbacks persist. The shares are up about 239% over five years, while EPS has grown around 36% per year, outpacing a roughly 28% annual price gain. The stronger earnings drive supports a relatively modest P/E of about 11.22, though investors remain cautious. The five-year TSR sits near 251%, with much of the delta explained by dividends and other TSR components. Over the last year, the stock delivered an 18% return with dividends included, and a five-year TSR of about 29% per year when annualized, suggesting the business is still firing on all cylinders for some holders. Bottom line: evaluate fundamentals, valuations, and dividend returns to gauge current attractiveness.

Markets Rebound as Earnings Power Outpaces Valuation Concerns Amid Trade-Talk Uncertainty

October 13, 2025, 11:58 AM EDT. Markets snapped back after a sharp pullback driven by trade-talk uncertainty, with traders viewing the run-up as a healthy correction. The team notes that earnings growth has consistently outpaced expectations-last quarter at 12% vs. ~7% anticipated-supporting the rally. Analysts have often underestimated earnings; the bull market has largely been propelled by earnings rather than multiples expansion, with roughly 73% of gains coming from earnings growth. While valuations look stretched and a government shutdown may have been a fear trigger, traders now expect the uncertainty around trade to subside and for earnings to continue lifting prices, implying another leg higher even if multiples don’t expand much. The recent pullback was partly due to profit-taking, not a change in fundamentals.

Which 13F Filers Hold TSLA in the Latest 03/31/2025 Filings

October 13, 2025, 11:56 AM EDT. Tesla (TSLA) is held by 51 of the 134 funds in the 03/31/2025 13F batch. A reminder: 13F filings show only long positions and do not disclose short positions, so the full sentiment picture isn’t captured.

Examples include McCarthy Asset Management (existing), Luminist Capital (new), Taikang Asset Management Hong Kong (increased), and Jane Street Group LLC (notable position adjustments). The data also highlights several mid- and small-cap managers moving hundreds to thousands of shares with meaningful market value shifts.

In the year, the stock traded within a 52-week range of $6.52 to $10.185. A breach of the 200-day moving average can be viewed as near-term bearish, though it is just one data point. The shares have faced no explicit catalyst in the notes; investors may watch whether GNL reclaims the 200-day MA or extends the decline.
