AAT Valuation Mixed After Share-Price Move: DCF Signals Undervaluation Despite P/E Premium

November 13, 2025, 11:52 PM EST. American Assets Trust (AAT) has traded mixed after recent moves, with momentum still uneven. Year-to-date, the stock is down 25.8% and the trailing 12-month total return sits at -24.9%, reflecting ongoing caution around real estate despite pockets of optimism. The shares trade at a P/E of 19.2x, above the sector average of about 15.3x, yet well above AAT's own fair P/E of 3.3x, inviting skepticism about how much of the premium is warranted. The firm also shows negative net income growth and negative overall returns. A different lens comes from SWS's DCF model, which signals the stock is roughly 14.8% below its estimated fair value, suggesting a possible undervaluation at current prices. Investors should balance earnings multiples against cash-flow fundamentals and sector risk.

Crude Rises on Dollar Dip and Demand Optimism; OPEC+ Output Talk Looms

November 13, 2025, 11:44 PM EST. Crude prices finished higher Thursday as a weaker dollar triggered short-covering and an optimistic view on energy demand after the US government reopened. December WTI settled up about 0.34% and December RBOB rose ~0.22%. Still, gains were limited by the EIA weekly data showing higher crude inventories and a record US production pace. In the supply arena, OPEC+ signaled a December output rise of 137,000 bpd before pausing in Q1-2026 amid a looming global surplus, a dynamic reinforced by the IEA's forecast of a 4.0 mbpd surplus in 2026. Bullish factors include stronger China demand and reduced Russia exports amid sanctions and refinery disruptions tied to the Ukraine conflict. Ongoing geopolitical risks, plus the possibility of U.S. strikes on Venezuela, keep headlines lively.

While a weaker factor, higher 2025 US nat-gas production was forecast by the EIA at 107.67 bcf/d, up from 106.60; domestic production sits near a record, with rigs rising to a 2.25-year high. LNG imports rose, and electricity output nudged higher, supporting demand. The consensus EIA inventory view calls for a +34 bcf build for the week ending Nov 7, near the five-year average. Europe's storage remained tight.

Dollar Drops as US Government Reopens; Euro Rises on Fed Rate-Cut Bets

November 13, 2025, 11:40 PM EST. Stock and FX markets largely moved as the US government reopened, sparking speculation that delayed data could show a softer economy and keep the Fed on a path of rate cuts. The DXY slid about 0.33% to a two-week trough, even as policymakers offered hawkish leanings: Collins, Hammack and Musalem signaled no rush to ease further. Traders now price roughly a 50% chance of a 25 bp cut at the December FOMC. The EUR/USD firmed, hitting a two-week high as the euro benefited from a perceived ECB divergence and the weaker dollar; EURUSD rose about 0.37%. The USD/JPY slipped about 0.19% as the yen recovered from a 9.25-month low on stronger Japanese PPI and comments suggesting possible intervention.

The shares were up about +0.2% on the day, a sign of a potential bullish cross as HLN trades farther from the 52-week low of $8.71 and toward the 52-week high of $11.42. The current last trade near $9.90 positions HLN within that range, hinting at continued near-term momentum if the stock sustains above the moving average.

Fluor (FLR) valuation tests the downside after ~6% drop

November 13, 2025, 11:34 PM EST. Fluor's stock fell about 6% after a string of declines, leaving the year-to-date return at -12.6% and a five-year total return of roughly 171.7%. The pullback prompts questions about whether shares are undervalued or reflect future headwinds. With the stock trading below many analyst targets, catalysts like Fluor's potential 6 GW U.S. nuclear deployment could underpin long-term revenue and earnings. A narrative fair value around $51 points to an undervalued setup, though risks include project execution delays and cash-flow pressures. Market ratios add contrast: a 2.2x earnings multiple vs. the industry ~33.9x, highlighting a sizable valuation gap. Investors should weigh nuclear growth upside, margin dynamics, and execution risk when assessing the stock.

Graphic Packaging Holding (GPK): Valuation Under Scrutiny After ~10% Slide

November 13, 2025, 11:32 PM EST. Graphic Packaging Holding has fallen about 10% in the last month as investors reassess growth and risk. YTD losses exceed 40% and the past year shows a -44% total return, underscoring renewed caution around demand, pricing and costs. The longer five-year view remains positive, suggesting a valuation thesis could survive if margin expansion and cash flow growth materialize. The Waco recycled paperboard investment positions GPK to gain cost leadership in sustainable packaging and shift production from lower-margin bleached board, potentially lifting earnings. Yet, ongoing volume uncertainty and fierce competition threaten profit growth, and the stock trades well below some analyst targets, creating a potential valuation gap investors may monitor.

Global Sugar Supplies Keep Prices Capped as Brazil Output Rises and India Eyes Exports

November 13, 2025, 11:12 PM EST. Sugar futures closed mixed on Thursday as the global sugar supplies outlook weighs on prices. NY #11 (SBH26) fell about 0.5%, while December London white sugar #5 (SWZ25) rose around 1.1% on fund short-covering ahead of expiry.

The stock traded as low as $121.31, highlighting how dividends can anchor total return.

For example, the IWV ETF delivered about 13% in dividends over a 12-year window, even as price drift was modest; the takeaway is that a sustainable yield above 4% can be attractive if the dividends remain steady. As a member of the Russell 3000, NWE sits among the larger U.S. stocks. Investors should assess historical dividend stability and profitability to gauge whether this payout can be a durable source of income.

Live: ASX poised to follow Wall Street declines as US stocks tumble

November 13, 2025, 10:20 PM EST. ASX 200 futures fall 1.6% to 8,634 as US equity losses spill into Australian trading. Wall Street tumbled, with the S&P 500 down about 1.7% and the Nasdaq off 2.4%, while FTSE and Euro Stoxx also slip. The Australian dollar weakens about 0.2% to 65.27 US cents. In risk assets, spot gold retreats 0.8%, Brent crude is flat, iron ore little changed and Bitcoin slides ~3%. The pullback comes as traders digest a US data backdrop still clouded by a 43-day government shutdown. White House adviser Kevin Hassett said the October employment report would omit the unemployment rate, leaving the true jobless picture uncertain and potentially shaping Q4 forecasts. Investors remain cautious amid this uncertainty and the risk of tighter policy on weaker data.

Markets back away from December rate cut as Fed officials cast doubt

November 13, 2025, 10:16 PM EST. Markets no longer price in a sure December rate cut as Fed officials express doubt. Traders have flipped from a >2-to-1 chance to a coin toss, with FedWatch showing a roughly 49.4% odds of a cut by December. Futures imply a funds rate near 3.775% by year-end, below the current 3.87%. The shift comes as officials flag data uncertainty amid a government shutdown pause and inflation that remains above the 2% target. Boston Fed President Susan Collins warned that holding rates steady may be appropriate until clearer data emerge, while Evercore ISI's Krishna Guha notes the decision hinges on the risk of postponement. Stocks slipped and Treasury yields rose as markets calibrated the risk of policy action versus the possibility of a January skip.

Bitcoin Miners Lead Crypto Stock Losses as BTC Dips Below $99k

November 13, 2025, 10:14 PM EST. Bitcoin miners led a broader slide in crypto stocks as BTC slipped below $99,000 and major indexes fell. Bitdeer Technologies Group and Bitfarms tumbled more than 20% and 17%, with Cipher Mining down 13% and MARA Holdings off over 10%. The sector's losses came as BTC traded around $99k, down about 3% on the day and roughly 22% from its late-2021 peak. Ethereum and Solana likewise slid about 7%, hitting multi-month lows. Other names, including Galaxy Digital, Robinhood Markets and Coinbase, also traded lower. The move reflected macro uncertainties, delayed CPI data amid a government shutdown, and a risk-off mood that lifted Treasuries and pressured tech-heavy indices like the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Market sentiment was further influenced by mixed inflation signals and a cautious Fed stance.

Dow tops 48,000 again as rotation broadens leadership

November 13, 2025, 10:10 PM EST. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose above 48,000 for the first time, posting its 17th record close of the year. The 30-stock index has recently outperformed the Nasdaq and S&P 500, helped by a rotation away from mega-cap tech into industrials, financials, and other traditional sectors. Valuation gaps persist, with tech trading around 45% above the rest of the market, suggesting the Dow could continue to lead as investors seek value and high-quality stocks. Leaders like Caterpillar and Goldman Sachs illustrate the rotation, while ongoing AI enthusiasm cools. The move may reflect a broadening market rather than a one-group rally, with tech no longer sole market driver.

Bitcoin Dives Below $100K as Crypto Bear Market Intensifies

November 13, 2025, 9:48 PM EST. Bitcoin slid more than 3% and dipped as low as $98,071, pushing it below the $100,000 threshold as risk aversion and a tech-stock selloff reignite Wall Street jitters. The drop has wiped out more than $450 billion in crypto value since early October, eroding confidence from large funds, ETF allocators, and corporate treasuries. Those buyers had been a key pillar for this year's rally, and their retreat signals market fragility ahead for Bitcoin and other digital assets. If the macro backdrop deteriorates, traders expect further downside amid rising policy and liquidity concerns.

Bitcoin Dives Below $100,000 as Fed Outlook and Shutdown Data Delays Fuel Crash Fears

November 13, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Bitcoin has fallen below $100,000, its lowest since May, renewing fears of a broader price crash. After peaking in October, the rally has faltered, leaving the token about 20% off its highs and signaling bear-market risk for traders. The move comes as a key data blackout from the U.S. government shutdown complicates the outlook ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting. Officials have signaled a cautious stance, with markets pricing in fewer December rate-cut chances, despite the Fed's prior easing cycle. The chaos is compounded by a big bitcoin bet from JPMorgan and jitters around delayed CPI and jobs data. Analysts warn a flight to safety could pressure high-risk assets, and caution that without clearer data, Bitcoin's path remains highly uncertain.

Wall Street slides toward worst day in a month as AI stars retreat and rate-cut bets fade

November 13, 2025, 9:40 PM EST. The S&P 500 sank about 1.5%, the Dow fell 565 points, and the Nasdaq dropped 2.4% as AI leaders led the retreat.

Traders question whether AI-driven gains can justify lofty valuations, drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble. Bets on further Fed rate cuts faded; traders now price in a 47.6% chance of a December cut, down from nearly 70% a week ago. The market also weighs whether the Federal Reserve will deliver relief for stocks as officials' comments dampen expectations of near-term rate relief, including notes from the Boston Fed president.

AI stocks and rate-cut doubts push Wall Street toward one of its worst days since April

November 13, 2025, 9:38 PM EST. U.S. stocks slid on Thursday as AI darlings like Nvidia retraced gains and traders questioned whether promised rate cuts will materialize.

Other AI-linked names such as Super Micro Computer and Palantir slid sharply. Traders weighed whether valuations have priced in too much optimism as the market stays sensitive to central-bank signals. Bets on a third Fed rate cut this year cooled, with traders assigning roughly a coin-flip chance of a cut in December. Officials' remarks intensified the doubt about when policy relief will come, contributing to a treacherous patch for investors.

Why Bloom Energy Stock Crashed: Overvaluation Sparks Sell-Off

November 13, 2025, 9:36 PM EST. Bloom Energy (BE) shares tumbled about 20% intraday after a Q3 report that showed strong revenue growth, yet the stock remains painfully overvalued. The company posted a 57% year-over-year revenue gain, margins jumped, and it even reported an operating profit. Yet the initial rally left Bloom with a valuation of roughly 16x sales and over 1,500x earnings, leaving it vulnerable to any setback. Investors grew nervous and sold off in the wake of the decline, contributing to a broader market dip. The stock's pullback reflects a classic correction after a sharp post-earnings move, not a change in fundamentals, suggesting the shares could remain volatile until multiples normalize.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev: Prediction Markets Are the Fastest-Growing Business, Targeting $300M Annual Revenue

November 13, 2025, 9:34 PM EST.

Launched in March, the market lets users trade event contracts on sports, elections, and more, with a user base overlapping with mobile sports betting. The growth comes amid a crypto rebound and Robinhood's broader push into new services like Robinhood Banking and cash delivery for high-net-worth clients, though shares slid after broader tech weakness.

Fastly, Inc. (NYSE:FSLY) Jump 45% in a Month as Investors Reconsider Valuation and Growth Prospects

November 13, 2025, 9:32 PM EST. Fastly (NYSE:FSLY) has surged about 45% in the last month and 63% over the past year. The stock trades near a 3x price-to-sales (P/S) multiple, above many IT peers with P/S below 2.5x, prompting questions about whether the valuation is justified by growth. Revenue growth has been modest: about 9.4% in the last year and 44% over three years, with a rebound not yet matched by earnings momentum. Nine analysts look for roughly 7.2% revenue growth per year over the next three years, well below the industry's ~18% pace, suggesting limited upside to the current multiple. If growth disappoints, the elevated P/S could pose downside risk. Investors remain hopeful for a turnaround, but consensus remains cautious.

Sun Life Financial's Series 8R Preferred Shares Cross 5.5% Yield Threshold

November 13, 2025, 9:30 PM EST. Sun Life Financial Inc.'s Class A Non-Cumulative Rate Reset Preferred Shares Series 8R (TSX: SLF-PRG.TO) traded with a yield above 5.5% after quarterly dividends of $1.0575 annually. The issue recently traded as low as $19.08, leaving it about a 22.60% discount to liquidation preference. The preferreds are convertible but non-cumulative, meaning missed payments don't accumulate for future dividends. Day-to-day, SLF-PRG was flat while the common SLF.TO slipped about 0.1%. Investors should weigh the liquidity discount against the lack of catch-up payments and the risk profile of non-cumulative preferreds when considering exposure to Sun Life's capital structure.

Rio Tinto Q3 Iron Ore Shipments Up 6% Sequentially: What It Means for RIO Stock

November 13, 2025, 9:16 PM EST. Rio Tinto's Q3 iron ore shipments from Pilbara rose 6% sequentially to 84.3 Mt (100% basis), signaling resilient demand despite maintenance. Production was flat YoY at 84.1 Mt, with Gudai-Darri delivering a quarterly high. While Vale posted higher output, Rio's relative strength remains the focal point for the stock. For 2025, Rio kept Pilbara shipments guidance at the lower end of 323-338 Mt, reflecting cyclone-related timing and approvals risk. Bauxite and alumina rose, and copper benefited from a record Oyu Tolgoi, helping offset iron ore cyclicality.

AppLovin (APP) Q3: Strong Results, High Valuation, and the Path Forward

November 13, 2025, 8:58 PM EST. AppLovin reported a strong Q3: revenues of $1.41 billion, up 68% YoY, beating estimates, with Adjusted EBITDA of $1.16 billion and an 82% margin, plus free cash flow of $1.05 billion, up 92%. Growth was driven by improvements in its gaming advertising ecosystem, MAX SSP expansion, and the early traction of a new self-service advertising solution.

Yet the stock has slid about 5% post-earnings, and valuation remains lofty.

With demand for AI upskilling rising, the decision to buy the dip hinges on execution of the AI strategy and upcoming earnings signals.

2026 Roadmap: What the Economy and Markets Are Signaling Going Forward

November 13, 2025, 8:54 PM EST. Markets enter 2026 with a paradox: a bull backdrop amid lingering risks. The panel notes a still-healthy consumer supported by a resilient, though slower, labor market-'low hire, no fire'-and spending holding up even as hiring momentum cools. Tariffs, trade frictions and Fed policy hover over the outlook, keeping growth uneven and uncertainty skewed toward low-income households. The takeaway: the bull market may persist into 2026, but inflation, deficits and policy ambiguity remain the wildcards shaping earnings. Investors should track labor-market signals and consumer spending as early indicators, with sectors tied to tech, autos, and housing likely to swing. A disciplined approach to risk and opportunity will define portfolios next year.

Kosmos Energy: Valuation in Focus After Q3 Loss and New $250M Term Loan

November 13, 2025, 8:52 PM EST. Kosmos Energy (NYSE: KOS) reported a Q3 swing to net loss and revenue decline, while securing a $250 million term loan with Shell to bridge upcoming debt maturities. The stock has fallen roughly 61% YTD and about 63% over the past year, with sentiment subdued despite a modest production uptick and debt-management steps. A valuation narrative suggests a fair value near $3.34, implying the shares are undervalued versus the roughly $1.45 close. Risks include geographic concentration and a heavy debt load, while catalysts such as LNG expansion, geographic diversification, and cost discipline could lift cash flow and drive longer-term margins.

Nvidia drags Wall Street toward its worst day in a month as AI stocks retreat

November 13, 2025, 8:46 PM EST. Markets slid, with the S&P 500 down ~1.5%, the Dow off around 565 points, and the Nasdaq down about 2.4%, as Nvidia led losses of ~4.7% and other AI stocks like Palantir and Broadcom retreat. The rally powered by AI valuations faced a test as investors questioned whether further rate cuts are coming from the Fed in December; futures priced in a slim chance of a cut, about 47.6%, down from roughly 70% a week ago. Comments from officials and news of a six-week shutdown added to caution, with traders drawing comparisons to the dot-com bubble as prices stretch.

Nasdaq Loses Early Gains as Dow Holds Up and S&P Edges Higher

November 13, 2025, 8:44 PM EST. The Nasdaq Composite's early gain didn't last, sliding about 0.3% after an opening upturn. The S&P 500 was up around 0.1%, while the Dow climbed about 400 points (0.8%). Riskier stocks were still rebounding, but several of the S&P and Nasdaq's heaviest hitters were mixed, signaling a cautious tone as the session progresses.

Crude Prices Climb on Dollar Weakness and US Government Reopening

November 13, 2025, 8:42 PM EST. Crude prices edged higher as the dollar sank and traders weighed the U.S. government's reopening against an uptick in supplies. December WTI crude (CLZ25) gained about 0.5% while December RBOB gasoline (RBZ25) rose roughly 0.7%. A weaker DXY supported short-covering after a recent sell-off. The reopening of the US government is seen as supportive for growth and energy demand, but gains are capped by the latest EIA report showing higher-than-expected crude inventories and a record-high US oil output. In the background, OPEC+ signaled a December production rise before pausing in Q1-2026, while concerns about a global oil surplus persist. Strong China demand and ongoing sanctions on Russia also factor into the mix.

Hedge funds dump stocks while retail investors power the bull market

November 13, 2025, 8:40 PM EST. Professional money managers, led by hedge funds and other institutions, have been the biggest net sellers of stocks and ETFs this year, unloading over $67 billion in 2025 per Bank of America data. By contrast, retail investors have shouldered much of the rally, acting as the market's backbone with steady dip-buying since 2020 and helping lift the S&P 500 to multiple all-time highs. Their persistent inflows have cushioned volatility as institutions stayed cautious amid rate-cut uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. The mood will be in focus at CNBC's Delivering Alpha Investor Summit in New York. The week's data also showed the tech sector bearing the heaviest net selling from funds in two years, even as megacap stocks carried the rally. BofA notes signs of fatigue among retail players after the relentless run.

Palantir CEO defends sky-high valuation at Yahoo Finance Invest, calls out elite investors

November 13, 2025, 8:38 PM EST. At Yahoo Finance's Invest liveblog, Palantir (PLTR) co-founder and CEO Alex Karp defended the stock's sky-high valuation, arguing that traditional analysts have been bearish and harmed investors. PLTR trades with a forward P/E near 185 after a market cap of about $421B, and the stock has jumped roughly 133% year-to-date. Some on the Street warn of downside if AI deployments slow or miss estimates, as noted by HSBC's Abhishek Shukla. Karp contrasted the elite investors with the truck drivers and plumbers who he says continue buying, claiming the average American has been the main buyer while some sophisticated traders sit on the sidelines or sell. Full interview and coverage linked from Yahoo Finance Invest.

Ubisoft delays H1 FY25-26 results; trading suspended on Euronext as market awaits report

November 13, 2025, 8:36 PM EST. Ubisoft has postponed its H1 FY25-26 results and asked Euronext to suspend share and bond trading from tomorrow, November 14. The company provided no reasons beyond saying it would inform the market of the restart date and publish the delayed report in the coming days. The unusual step suggests the earnings release is a factor, though details remain unclear. Ubisoft's stock has slumped over time, down about 95.5% in five years and 49% year-on-year. The suspension creates a trading vacuum as investors await the delayed results and a restart timetable.

MicroStrategy Stock Down 40% in 6 Months: Buy, Sell, or Hold in November 2025?

November 13, 2025, 8:32 PM EST. MicroStrategy (MSTR) has slid about 40% in six months as Bitcoin volatility and the company's relentless crypto-buying drumbeat unsettles investors. The stock hit a seven-month low as BTC rallied to record highs but retraced, stoking questions about Chairman Michael Saylor's funding strategy. A $50 million draw from preferred stock sales financed a 487-BTC add, while the premium to net asset value collapsed to roughly 1.0x from two to three times last year, signaling dilution risk from new common shares. The firm is exploring international markets, ETFs backed by its preferred shares, and a euro-denominated issue, with dividends on preferreds raised to 10.5%. Q3 showed $2.8B of net income tied to unrealized crypto gains, with a $70B crypto stash. Investors must weigh Bitcoin exposure, potential funding options, and NAV premium before deciding to buy, sell, or hold.

Is ATRenew's Rally Driven by Fundamentals? A ROE and Growth Check on RERE

November 13, 2025, 8:26 PM EST. ATRenew (RERE) racked up a 7.7% weekly gain even as fundamentals show a mixed picture. The trailing ROE sits at 5.5% (CN¥210m net profit on CN¥3.8b equity), well below the industry average of ~18%. Yet the stock has posted five-year net income growth of about 40%, and growth outpaces the industry's ~6.5% pace, suggesting other drivers such as strong earnings retention or efficient management. The company currently pays no dividends, reinvesting profits to fuel expansion, a strategy that can drive longer-term valuation upside if growth persists. Investors should weigh whether the recent price move is catching up with improving earnings prospects or being tempered by the modest ROE and a lack of income returns.

Bitcoin Eyes New All-Time High as Analyst Sets $170K Target Amid ETF Flows

November 13, 2025, 8:20 PM EST. Bitcoin touched around $104,000 as US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a $520 million inflow, a sharp swing after withdrawals earlier in the week. Analysts argue continued buying pressure could lift the price toward $160,000-$170,000, with a potential swing to $186,000 if momentum persists. The model of diminishing golden curves and halving-based sine waves places a late-2025 peak near the +2 band around $160,000-$170,000, aligning with the post-halving cycle pattern. On-chain signals show rising stablecoin reserves and falling Bitcoin reserves on exchanges, suggesting accumulating demand. Investors warn timing and macro shocks (e.g., economic data, government developments) could shift flows, but the setup remains favorable for a continued rally.

3 Reasons Growth Investors Should Consider Red Violet (RDVT)

Positive Earnings Estimate Revisions add to the bullish narrative.

Is Tapestry (TPR) a Solid Growth Stock? 3 Reasons to Bet Yes

November 13, 2025, 8:16 PM EST. Growth investors seek real expansion, and Tapestry (TPR) earns strong signals through a favorable Zacks Growth Style Score and a top Zacks Rank. Three pillars back the bullish view. First, Earnings Growth: historical EPS around 21.7%, with current-year forecasts near 10%-above the industry average of 8.8%. Second, Cash Flow Growth: YoY cash flow up about 10.6%, outperforming peers; the long-run pace is robust, with annualized cash flow growth of 21.2% over 3-5 years versus a 7.6% industry average. Third, Earnings Estimate Revisions: positive revisions trend often aligns with near-term upside. Taken together, these factors suggest TPR could be a compelling growth pick, though investors should weigh stock-specific risks and market volatility.

Equities Stabilize as Government Reopens: Certainty Lifts Markets, AI Leadership in Focus

November 13, 2025, 8:14 PM EST. The government reopening brings much-needed certainty to markets, easing the drag from the 43-day shutdown. While October data may be delayed, investors expect the economy to rebound, with a ~2% quarterly GDP hit viewed as a near-term drag rather than a trend. Historically, major indices tend to dip after a shutdown ends but recover in about two weeks, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 higher about 75% of the time. Technical gaps were filled on Thursday as prices retraced. Seasonality looks supportive in November, a period often strong for stocks, especially small caps like IWM, which has posted notable gains. AI leadership remains a key driver; NVDA has been resilient while others rotate.

2 Concrete & Aggregates Stocks to Gain From the Infrastructure Boom (VMC, MLM)

November 13, 2025, 8:12 PM EST. Industry experts expect steady, multi-year growth for the Zacks Building Products – Concrete & Aggregates space as federal and state infrastructure spending stays elevated and nonresidential construction recovers. Public projects-from highways to utilities-provide a predictable demand base, while data centers and warehouses boost volume. Pricing power remains solid amid limited quarry supply, high-entry barriers and tight local markets. The sector still faces cost inflation, labor constraints, and weather disruptions, but disciplined operations and efficiency gains offset headwinds. Investors may want exposure to leaders like Vulcan Materials (VMC) and Martin Marietta Materials (MLM), which are poised to benefit from robust demand visibility, favorable mix, and potential consolidation via acquisitions. The backdrop remains constructive into 2026 for this infrastructure-driven theme.

The stock sits with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and has outperformed the industry over six months. Peer moves: BEN and IVZ also posted AUM updates in October 2025.

Lazard, Inc. reported a preliminary AUM balance of $267.8 billion as of Oct. 31, 2025, up 1.2% MoM, driven by market appreciation of $6.9B and partially offset by FX depreciation of $2.2B and net outflows of $1.4B. Lazard has posted a track record of steady AUM growth despite volatility, with a CAGR of 1.7% from 2016-2024, and AUM rising year over year in the first nine months of 2025.

Bitcoin Falls Under $100K Again as Crypto Liquidations Top $500 Million

November 13, 2025, 8:06 PM EST. Bitcoin slipped below $100,000 for the third time this month as risk assets wobbled. The decline coincided with ETF outflows and subdued institutional demand, tempering any sustained rally. Bitcoin traded around $99,611 after a roughly 2% daily drop, with October's peak near $126,080 now in the rearview. Ethereum and other majors also softened; XRP rose on news that a spot ETF began trading. Daily liquidations topped $500 million, underscoring renewed volatility and crowded trades.

November 13, 2025, 8:04 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa futures (CCZ25) fell about 1.96% to a 1.75-year nearest-futures low, while ICE London cocoa #7 (CAZ25) dropped about 0.98%. Prices extended a week-long slide as traders priced in potential tariff cuts on non-US crops after comments from US Treasury Secretary about forthcoming announcements. A bumper West Africa crop supports the downside, with Ivory Coast shipments slipping year-on-year and farmers reporting favorable conditions. Mondelez cited a pod-count above the five-year average, while global grindings show weakness in Q3 in Asia and Europe; North American chocolate sales fell but not drastically. A COT signal shows funds holding record net-short London cocoa, suggesting possible short-covering if sentiment stabilizes.

November 13, 2025, 8:02 PM EST. March NY sugar (SBH26) and London ICE white sugar (SWZ25) rose, with buyers citing smaller Indian exports after Bloomberg reports India's food ministry may allow only 1.5 MMT in 2025/26, below earlier 2 MMT. The move comes amid a broader view of a global sugar surplus, with Brazil's output seen higher and ISMA lifting India's 2025/26 production to 31 MMT, even as ethanol use and monsoon strength support larger crops. Traders are digesting data from Czarnikow and Conab. Signs that India's exports could be capped buoyed nearby prices, though the market remains pressured by a record-supply backdrop and favorable monsoon rains.

Fading odds of December rate cut hit stocks as major indices slide

By 1:51 p.m. ET, the S&P 500 was down over 1.5%, the Nasdaq Composite slid about 2.4%, and the Russell 2000 dropped 2.5%, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down roughly 600 points after a record high the day before. Markets are pricing in a potential pause rather than a future easing, after Powell's remarks that a December cut is not a foregone conclusion. Fed officials have split views on further easing, with some governors leaning toward a pause and others still signaling a possible cut. The lack of fresh government data amid the shutdown clouded the outlook, complicating expectations for upcoming inflation and jobs reports.

Could $10,000 in D-Wave Quantum Make You a Millionaire? Risks and Realities

November 13, 2025, 7:58 PM EST. D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS) has surged, with some $10,000 investments turning into hundreds of thousands in a year, highlighting the market's appetite for quantum computing megatrends. Yet the gap between its current fundamentals and its sky-high valuation is a risk: commercially viable quantum machines could still be more than a decade away for many players. Investors should separate momentum from earnings potential, and consider questions like: can QBTS sustain gains if a catalyst stalls? Watch industry milestones-Alphabet's Willow, IBM's timeline, and ongoing progress in reducing errors and scaling quantum systems. Several analysts point to five-year timelines for usable machines, but that remains uncertain. In short, don't assume millionaire-maker potential is assured; align bets with realistic timelines and risk tolerance.

December arabica (KCZ25) and January ICE robusta (RMF26) fell, with robusta at a two-week low amid expectations of US tariff relief.

Is Rubrik Still a Buy After a 66% Rally? Valuation Signals to Watch

November 13, 2025, 7:26 PM EST. Rubrik shares have climbed about 66% over the past year, with an 11% pullback in the last 30 days as new partnerships and aggressive cloud data security expansion lift optimism. Our valuation checks show a caution flag: a 2/6 score for being undervalued.

In short: Rubrik may offer upside if growth and partnerships translate into durable profits, but the setup warrants careful due diligence.

Morning News Wrap-Up: Thursday's Biggest Stock Market Stories

November 13, 2025, 7:24 PM EST. Today's wrap centers on a crucial disclaimer for market data: backtested results for the TipRanks Smart Score are historical and not indicative of future performance.

November 13, 2025, 7:22 PM EST. Live market updates show the 43-day U.S. government shutdown ending as the House approves funding, but equities trade mixed. The S&P 500 ETF (VOO) is lower on the session. On the movers' front, Booking Holdings (BKNG) was upgraded to outperform by Wedbush, though BKNG trades about -0.1%; the VOO drop is larger.

Stocks Slide as Chipmakers and Megacap Tech Lead Market Downturn

November 13, 2025, 7:20 PM EST. U.S. stocks slipped as chipmakers weakness and a retreat in Megacap tech names weighed on the broader market. The S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq 100 all tumbled, with futures suggesting more downside ahead. Higher 10-year yields pressured equities after hawkish Fed commentary reduced odds of near-term rate cuts. Government reopening news kept sentiment cautious, while the market priced in a roughly 53% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting. The Q3 earnings season is nearly complete, with roughly 82% of S&P 500 results beating expectations and profits up about 14.6% year over year, signaling resilience amid the selloff. Overseas markets were mixed.

Rigetti Computing's CEO Sent an $11 Million Warning to Wall Street

November 13, 2025, 7:18 PM EST. Rigetti Computing has surged roughly 2,000% over the past year, but tumbled recently as meme-stock dynamics fade and speculation around quantum computing remains the primary driver. The rally reflects narrative-driven hype rather than sustained enterprise revenue, with Rigetti still far from commercial-scale traction. Investors chase headlines around its Ankaa-3 and Cepheus-1 tests, fueling momentum even as fundamentals lag megacap peers. In this context, CEO Subodh Kulkarni's May Form 4 transaction-exercising options for 1 million shares at $0.96 and selling them at about $12 each-stands out as a concrete cash event in a story built on expectations. The move underscores how executives can monetize a rising stock while the company's long-term trajectory remains under debate.

Paramount Skydance climbs premarket as Q3 signals cost cuts and Paramount+ price moves toward profitability

November 13, 2025, 7:17 PM EST. Paramount Skydance (PSKY) rose about 5% in premarket trading after a mixed Q3 report that still underscored a path to profitability. Revenue for the quarter ended September came in at $6.7 billion, just shy of expectations, as the newly combined company pointed to ongoing cost savings and a stronger streaming trajectory. Paramount+ revenue rose 24%, with subscribers at 79.1 million, while TV Media weakness persisted. Management raised its 2026 targets to roughly $30 billion in revenue and $3.5 billion in adjusted OIBDA, and signaled early next year Paramount+ price increases. The merger's synergies include a plan to reduce about 2,600 positions to date, with additional cuts on the way and a higher efficiency savings target of $3 billion to bolster profitability.

Macroscope: EM rally driven by fleeing the US and seeking value

November 13, 2025, 7:14 PM EST. Emerging markets are finally turning a corner in 2025, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index up 30% year-to-date and the longest winning streak since 2004. While the S&P 500 remains far ahead, EM stocks have outpaced many peers, and risk appetites are reviving: a net 27% of fund managers are overweight EM, the strongest signal among major markets. The rally isn't just about growth catching up on paper; it reflects resilience across the asset class-from China's cheaper dollar debt to historically tight EM bond spreads and solid local-currency returns. Flows into EM funds are rebounding, suggesting investors may be fleeing the US and seeking value, diversification, and higher yield in developing economies.

Tesla Shares Slip as China Sales Plunge and Tech Rally Pauses

November 13, 2025, 7:04 PM EST.

Xiaomi reportedly outsold Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 in October, underscoring intensified competition. The move comes amid a broader market rotation away from high-flying AI/tech names into more stable sectors, with investors cautious after a long government shutdown ends and a flood of coming economic data. Traders may also be cashing in ahead of data that could influence Fed rate paths. Tesla also faced recalls for the Cybertruck and a new lawsuit over a fatal Model S crash, adding to the stock's volatility.

Roku Stock Dips as CEO Anthony J. Wood Sells Shares; Market Rotation Weighs on ROKU

November 13, 2025, 7:02 PM EST. Shares of ROKU slid about 5.6% after CEO Anthony J. Wood disclosed a sizable stock sale under a pre-arranged plan, totaling roughly $5.2 million. The move sparked investor caution, though management said it reflects routine diversification. The broader mood also reflected a market rotation away from high-growth tech and AI names toward more stable areas. Headlines from Disney and other media peers underscored ongoing pressure in traditional television, weighing on sentiment for media-related stocks. Ahead of delayed economic data after the government shutdown, traders speculate the data could influence the Fed's pace of rate cuts. Roku remains volatile, yet the stock has risen about 34% YTD, trading near year-high levels.

November 13, 2025, 7:00 PM EST. Bitcoin hovered near $103k after a morning dip as U.S. equities declined, with the broader crypto market pressured by a risk-off tone during market hours. The pullback followed an overnight peak near $104,000, before BTC slipped to about $100k. Crypto-linked equities were hit hard, with miners leading losses: Bitdeer (BTDR), Bitfarms (BITF), Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN dropping double digits. Traditional indices were red as the Nasdaq slipped around 2% and the S&P 500 about 1.3%. Traders weighed the Federal Reserve's likely stance on rate cuts in December, with odds near 50/50 for a 25 basis point move, suggesting BTC could stay muted near current levels. The story also notes a drag from a government shutdown and looming liquidity dynamics as deficits persist.

Unusual Thursday Volume in BUZZ ETF as Nvidia, Opendoor Lead Activity

November 13, 2025, 6:58 PM EST. Thursday's session saw the VanEck Social Sentiment ETF (BUZZ) register unusual volume, trading more than 435,000 shares vs a 3-month average of about 115,000. The BUZZ decline of roughly 4.5% capped an active day in its components, led by heavy volume in Nvidia (down ~4.3% on >84.5M shares) and Opendoor Technologies (down ~6.3% on ~80.7M shares). By contrast, Nike was the day's top performer among components, up ~2.2%, while Bloom Energy lagged, sliding ~17%.

November 13, 2025, 6:56 PM EST. October foreclosure filings rose to 36,766 properties, up 3% from September and 19% year-over-year, according to ATTOM. Foreclosure starts climbed 6% for the month and were 20% higher than a year earlier, while completed foreclosures jumped 32% YoY. The rise comes as activity remains well below historic peaks, suggesting a gradual normalization as higher borrowing costs bite. Florida, South Carolina and Illinois led filings, with Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando the top metros; Riverside and Cleveland also among the leaders for defaults. Analysts warn the year ahead could see more FHA-related distress, with delinquencies over 11% and potential for more FHA foreclosures in 2026, though demand for lower-price homes remains robust.

The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.75%, the S&P 500 dropped 1.09%, and the Dow slipped 0.79%. The Small Cap 2000 shed 1.60%. Megacap tech led losses, with Nvidia down about 4%, Tesla down more than 6%, and Alphabet and Broadcom around 5% lower. Disney plunged 9% after weak revenue. Traders rotated into lower-valuation names as volatility rose. With key inflation and jobs data still missing after the 43-day shutdown, rate-cut odds drifted lower and yields rose, pressure on tech persisted. The CBO estimates a GDP hit of about $11 billion by 2026. Cisco bucked the trend with a 4% gain on AI demand. Markets may remain choppy in coming sessions.

The broad-based move reflects cautious sentiment, even as some funds rotated into defensives. Investors will watch for guidance from big-cap tech next week and any shifts in AI-related demand.

Nebius Stock Dips, But Bulls See AI Infrastructure Catalysts: Is NBIS a Buy Now?

November 13, 2025, 6:46 PM EST. Nebius Group (NBIS) has moved from obscurity after Nvidia disclosed a stake, fueling a growth narrative in AI data center infrastructure. The company posted surging AI revenues (about +400% YoY, +40% QoQ) but its stock has fallen ~33% from a record peak amid a Q3 revenue miss and margin concerns from rapid expansion. The piece emphasizes a critical bottleneck: energy supply for data centers, with executives noting compute isn't the bottleneck, energy and space are. Nebius targets 2.5 GW by 2026, aiming to house thousands of GPUs and deter competition by early capacity. The business has solid pipelines, including a Meta contract (~$3B) and a Microsoft deal (~$17.4B), underscoring upside even after the pullback.

Twilio and Confluent Shares Plummet as Market Rotates From AI Rally

November 13, 2025, 6:40 PM EST. Stocks pulled back as investors rotated away from the AI-driven rally into more stable names. A late-day fatigue, plus a closing of the government shutdown, will unleash a flood of delayed data, raising nerves over potential Fed rate-cuts pauses. The tech-heavy Nasdaq slipped about 1.4%, with Palantir off ~7% despite record quarterly results and raised full-year revenue guidance. Confluent tumbled ~17% year-to-date underlining ongoing volatility in high-growth names. At $23.46, Confluent sits ~37.7% below its Feb 2025 high of $37.65. Analysts from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley flagged the risk of a broader market correction in the coming years, framing this as a healthy recalibration rather than a disaster. For patient buyers, pullbacks can still offer opportunities to own high-quality names.

Tech Rotation Triggers Market Sell-off as Offerpad Leads Declines

November 13, 2025, 6:38 PM EST. Stocks fell in the afternoon after a broad market pullback and a fading AI rally, as investors rotate out of high-flying tech into more stable names. The end of the government shutdown will unleash a flood of delayed data, potentially shaping Fed rate-cut expectations and fueling a sell-the-news mood. Offerpad highlighted volatility: revenue fell 36.2% year over year to $132.7 million, a GAAP loss of $0.37 per share, and homes sold dropping 40.3% to 367. Guidance for Q4 was weak, with a midpoint of $112.5 million, undershooting analysts and implying continued sales decline. The stock trades around $2, far below its 52-week high of $6.23, underscoring risk and potential opportunity in select, high-quality names amid volatility.

Valuations Elevated: Watch These Zero-Revenue Stocks

November 13, 2025, 6:36 PM EST. With valuations at record highs, investors may scrutinize zero-revenue stocks that still boast lofty caps. CNBC Pro screened names with market caps of at least $1B that haven't booked revenue in the last 12 months. One example: Archer Aviation (ACHR), with a market cap above $6.1B. Despite a pullback in 2025, the stock has surged previously and carries a buy rating from the average LSEG target suggesting >33% upside over the next year. Another name: USA Rare Earth at about $1.6B; geopolitical dynamics and easing Chinese export controls have helped it rally about 38% in 2025. Analysts still see >25% upside on average. Perspective: elevated valuations demand caution and disciplined risk management.

Dow Dips as Government Reopens, Data Gaps Loom for Fed Path

November 13, 2025, 6:34 PM EST. Stocks slipped after the government reopened, underscoring that traders are wrestling with missing data more than political headlines. The Dow fell about 1% from a record run, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also softer as traders price in the risk that the data pipeline will stay partly dark for longer than expected. The shutdown erased weeks of releases, leaving the Fed navigating a foggy picture as it prepares the next policy call. Investors worry about missing inflation and jobs signals, the pace of the labor market, and how postponed data could alter the trendline. For now, the reopening restores operations but not clarity, and market volatility may persist as data reappears in fits and starts.

Fundamentals: 1.00 current ratio, 0.49 debt-to-equity, market cap near $305B; EPS beat at $1.00 and FY2026 guidance 4.08-4.14; ROE near 27% and revenue up.

Earlier, the close of a $588 million offering pressured the stock, with proceeds earmarked for general corporate needs and capped-call transactions designed to manage dilution. The stock price slid to around $5.47, a 15.4% drop, followed by another ~14.7% decline to roughly $5.52, underscoring investor concern given ongoing losses and a gap between revenue of about $78M and expenses of $104.7M. As a crypto-miner, Bitfarms faces capital-intensity and market sensitivity, fueling a cautious mood about its financing strategy and longer-term profitability.

Eos Energy Shares Slump After Revenue Miss and Battery Safety Questions

November 13, 2025, 6:28 PM EST. Shares of Eos Energy Enterprises Inc. (EOSE) tumbled about -10.31% after Q2 adjusted EPS miss and a revenue miss.

Critics from Fuzzy Panda Research have raised safety and financial concerns about EOS's battery technology, casting doubt on the integrity of earnings and potential financial mismanagement. Traders highlighted high volatility in recent sessions, with intraday moves and a five-day range tracking from roughly $14 to $17.

November 13, 2025, 6:26 PM EST. AI is the investing center of the universe, and this piece argues eight stocks address bottlenecks across the AI infrastructure stack-from optics to power to reactors.

November 13, 2025, 6:20 PM EST. Hedge fund titan Michael Burry has reportedly closed his firm, Scion Asset Management, and named Phil Clifton as his successor. The move, announced via a letter dated October 27 and circulating on social media, marks a rare leadership transition for the investor famous for the Big Short bet against subprime mortgages.

Stocks Slip as Higher Yields and Chipmakers Weakness Weigh on Major Averages

November 13, 2025, 6:18 PM EST. Major U.S. indices sag as higher bond yields and chipmakers weakness weigh on sentiment: the S&P 500 fell 0.64%, the Dow slipped 0.25%, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.09%. E-mini futures for December also traded lower. The 10-year T-note yield edged up about 4 basis points to 4.11%, pressuring equities as hawkish comments from Boston Fed President Susan Collins kept policy risks in focus. Government reopening tempered safe-haven demand for Treasuries. In earnings, Q3 results beat expectations broadly, with 82% of S&P 500 firms topping forecasts as profits rose ~14.6% (Bloomberg Intelligence), signaling the strongest quarter since 2021.

A break under the moving average may signal near-term softness for bulls, though it remains well above the 52-week low. Traders will watch whether the dip evolves into a broader down move or a short-term pullback, while noting other names that recently crossed below their own 200-day averages.

YieldBoost on SGHC: 18.6% Annualized via April 2026 Covered Call (Strike $15)

November 13, 2025, 6:14 PM EST. Investors in Super Group Ltd (SGHC) can pursue a YieldBoost by selling the April 2026 covered call with a $15 strike and collecting the approx 0.90 premium. That premium annualizes to about 17.3%, boosting the base 1.3% dividend yield to roughly 18.6% if the stock stays below $15 through expiration. If SGHC rallies past $15 and the shares are called away, the upside is capped, requiring roughly a 22.1% gain to trigger call-away and yielding about 29.5% at the trading level, plus accrued dividends. The approach hinges on dividend stability, stock volatility (~50% trailing), and option-driven risk/reward, with the caveat that most upside beyond strike is forfeited on call.

A fall below the 200-day line can signal waning near-term momentum unless buyers step in, keeping the stock in focus for traders watching trend and support levels.

November 13, 2025, 6:10 PM EST. Atkore Inc (ATKR) investors can pursue a YieldBoost by selling the April 2026 covered call at the $75 strike and collecting the $3.40 bid premium, which annualizes to about 12.3%. This yields a total of roughly 14.4% if the stock isn't called away. The upside is capped: ATKR would need to rise about 15.6% from current levels for the shares to be called away, allowing a 20.8% return from this trade, plus any dividends. If the stock is not called, you keep the premium and the ongoing 2% dividend yield. ATKR's trailing volatility runs near 54%, with the current price around $65.39. As always, dividends aren't guaranteed and can vary with profitability.

Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) Falls Below 200-Day Moving Average

The move comes as the stock trades near $21.30, well off its 52-week range of $9.711 to $44.50. A break below the 200-DMA can signal ongoing weakness unless bulls reassert. Traders will monitor for follow-through selling or a potential test of nearby support, while long-term investors may reassess risk as AAOI remains positioned below a key trendline.

Coinbase exits Delaware for Texas as Dexit trend accelerates among corporate giants

November 13, 2025, 5:57 PM EST. Coinbase is moving its legal home from Delaware to Texas, citing the Lone Star State's growing appeal for innovative firms. Texas' pro-business climate, lighter regulatory environment, and new blockchain-friendly legislation make it a hub for cryptocurrency and tech.

Coinbase, with a market cap near $82 billion, joins a trend showing shifts in corporate domicile amid evolving court standards in Delaware.

Dollar Retreats as US Government Reopens, Fed Rate Outlook in Focus

November 13, 2025, 5:45 PM EST. The dollar dropped to a two-week low as the US government reopens, with the DXY down about 0.3% amid expectations that delayed data could hint at a softer economy and keep the Fed on a path of potential rate cuts. Yet hawkish comments from Boston Fed President Susan Collins and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack kept expectations in check, signaling no rush to loosen policy. Markets price roughly a 53% chance of a 25bp FOMC cut at the Dec meeting. The EUR/USD firmed about 0.28% as the euro benefits from a softer dollar and diverging central banks, while softer-than-expected Eurozone industrial data capped gains. USD/JPY edged lower as the yen recovers, with fresh BOJ hawkishness and talk of intervention. Japanese PPI rose, and December COMEX gold eased on the session.

NVIDIA and the AI Economy: How U.S. Innovation Drives Market Momentum

November 13, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. The U.S. economy has proven its capacity to innovate, lifting GDP to roughly $30 trillion by 2024 even as population grew modestly. This growth isn't just in traditional sectors; it hinges on new products and services-from AI platforms and vaccines to digital communication tools and streaming-transforming markets and creating demand for advanced hardware. Companies fueling this cycle, including chipmakers and AI leaders, benefit as demand for high-performance computing and cloud services expands. The gap between GDP growth and population growth underscores a productivity-driven expansion powered by innovation. For investors, this suggests resilience in technology and AI-centric equities, with policy support and global supply chains shaping the trajectory. While cyclical volatility remains, the long-run thesis remains: ongoing innovation and capital investment sustain growth and create opportunities across equities.

Nov. 19 Earnings Could Move Markets: Nvidia's AI Chip Empire and the Index Impact

November 13, 2025, 5:22 PM EST. With Nvidia (NVDA) set to report its fiscal Q3 on Nov. 19, the stock could steer the broader market. Nvidia is the world's largest company by market cap and carries heavy weight in the S&P 500 (8%) and the Nasdaq-100 (14%), so a surprise in revenue, earnings, or forward guidance can ripple through the indices. The company remains the AI data-center backbone, led by its H100 GPUs and the Blackwell Ultra line, which promise far higher performance and are in high demand amid the shift to reasoning models. Investors will watch for demand signals for GB300 and any updates on the Rubin architecture planned for next year. A strong print could buoy tech and growth stocks; a miss could pull the market lower.

Michael Burry Deregisters Scion Asset Management, Signals Shift Away From Hedge Fund

November 13, 2025, 5:14 PM EST. Michael Burry has deregistered Scion Asset Management, with the SEC listing the fund's registration as terminated as of November 10. Deregistration means Scion would not need to file reports with the regulator or state. Scion managed about $155 million in assets as of March, and its bets have been scrutinized for hints of bubbles and froth. On X, Burry said he was moving on to much better things on November 25. Scion did not comment. In recent weeks he has targeted tech giants including Nvidia and Palantir, arguing cloud infrastructure spending and aggressive accounting inflate profits via extended depreciation schedules. Analysts say the move could reflect a pivot to a family-office setup or running personal capital. Burry's legacy as the short seller in The Big Short remains a touchstone for investors watching bearish bets amid tech optimism.

Dow, Nasdaq slide as traders weigh post-shutdown fallout and rate-cut odds

November 13, 2025, 5:08 PM EST. Stocks pulled back on Thursday as investors weighed the lingering fallout from the longest US government shutdown and the path for interest-rate cuts. The Nasdaq Composite led losses, down about 1.8%, with the S&P 500 slipping roughly 1.1% to 1.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated near 0.8% to 0.9%. A drop in Nvidia and a 9% slide in Disney pressured chips and blue chips as traders rotated into cheaper groups. Tesla also tumbled, while Cisco jumped more than 4% on sturdy AI-spend momentum. The market traded with caution over data delays from the shutdown and renewed questions about the GDP and the Fed outlook, keeping a wary eye on the path of policy.

NVDA: Analysts Raise Price Targets Ahead of Key Earnings

November 13, 2025, 5:06 PM EST. NVDA shares have surged, with firms raising targets ahead of next week's earnings. Oppenheimer lifted its target to $265 from $225 and kept an Outperform rating, while Susquehanna increased its target to $230 from $210 and stayed Positive. The upgrades reflect robust demand for AI chips and steady data center growth. Despite the optimism, investors appear cautious as the stock has jumped more than 140% this year. Traders may book profits before results, which will test whether NVIDIA can sustain its rapid growth amid rising competition in AI chips and elevated valuation. The earnings print will be key for the path forward.

Lucid (LCID) Stock Dips on $875 Million Convertible Note Offering

November 13, 2025, 5:02 PM EST. Lucid (LCID) shares fell about 5% after the company priced an $875 million offering of convertible senior notes due 2031, with an option for buyers to add up to $100 million more. Proceeds are slated mostly for repurchasing older 2026 notes, with the remainder for general corporate purposes, effectively extending the company's debt maturity. The move suggests the market views the financing as meaningful but not transformative for the business. Lucid has been highly volatile, down about 46% year-to-date and roughly 53% below its 52-week high of $34.80. Broader EV headwinds persist-soft demand after the federal tax credit expiration, looming earnings and delivery challenges, and competition-that can pressure sentiment until the next earnings release. Investors will watch production trends and demand cues for clarity on the stock's risk/reward.

Consider the risk of further downside and confirm catalysts or entry plans, while applying prudent risk controls before any purchase.

With key indicators stuck in limbo, market participants are reacting nervishly, sending volatility through equities and bonds. The narrative shifts from rate-cut optimism to wait-and-see, as traders weigh the risks of a longer-than-expected pause against stubborn inflation and a possible rebound in growth. As investors recalibrate portfolios, bond yields swing and stock benchmarks react to every data print. The central bank's next move appears increasingly contingent on fresh readings, not calendar promises.

ULTY Enters Oversold Territory as RSI Dips to 27.7

A potential bullish read is that selling could be drying up and may present buy-side entry opportunities. On a 1-year chart, ULTY's 52-week low sits at $4.25 and the 52-week high at $10.27; the latest trade sits at $4.25 and the session was flat. Remember the RSI measures momentum from 0 to 100, with readings below 30 signaling oversold conditions. As always, a rebound might occur, but further risk warrants waiting for confirmation or a catalyst before taking a position.

The stock traded as low as $139.23, highlighting a potential near-term rebound for investors who focus on price momentum alongside fundamentals. Dividend investors note BX's annualized dividend of $5.16 per share, yielding about 3.57% based on recent prices, which adds a yield pull to any dip. Dividend Channel's coverage ranks BX in the top 50% of their universe, signaling a mix of solid fundamentals and favorable valuation relative to peers. A bullish angle could view the RSI reset as exhaustion of recent selling and a possible entry point, though investors should review BX's dividend history and longer-term trends before acting.

The company currently holds 2.1 million SOL, valued at roughly $319 million. The announcement comes as several DATs face waning investor appetite despite crypto market volatility.

Do Wall Street Analyst Ratings on CrowdStrike (CRWD) Help or Hinder Investment Decisions?

November 13, 2025, 3:26 PM EST. CrowdStrike (CRWD) sits under the lens of many brokers, with an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.98 from 46 firms-leaning toward a Strong Buy to Buy. The piece notes the potential bias in sell-side research and questions whether ABRs reliably predict price moves. It argues that for every Strong Sell, there are multiple Strong Buy calls, reflecting firms' vested interests. Readers are encouraged to use ABR as a check against their own analysis or against independent models like Zacks Rank, which relies on earnings estimate revisions. The takeaway: ABRs can validate but are not a stand-alone signal; combine them with quantitative tools to form a more robust CRWD thesis.

Stocks Muted Ahead of Open as Fed Rate Outlook Weighs on Markets After Government Reopens

November 13, 2025, 3:24 PM EST. U.S. equity futures edged lower ahead of the open as traders weigh the Fed's likely rate path after the government reopened.

The Magnificent Seven mostly softened, with META and TSLA lower, suggesting mixed sentiment despite the reopening.

Kimberly-Clark's 4.1% Rally Signals Hidden Value in 2025, According to DCF Analysis

November 13, 2025, 3:22 PM EST. Kimberly-Clark (KMB) clawed back 4.1% over the last week, yet remains down roughly 20% year-to-date and more than 18% over 12 months, as inflation, supply chains, and strategic shifts in personal care and tissue weigh on sentiment. The stock's sentiment swing contrasts with a strong valuation read: a 6/6 valuation score and a DCF-based intrinsic value of about $194.34 per share, signaling the market is pricing far less of the company's long-term cash-generating power. The firm's latest Free Cash Flow stood at $1.79B, with forecasts of $2.32B in 2027 and Simply Wall St projections above $3.2B by 2035. A two-stage FCF-to-EQUITY model implies the stock is undervalued by roughly 46%, suggesting a potential value catalyst into 2025 despite near-term headwinds.
