Nat-Gas Prices Retreat as Warmer US Weather Forecasts Ease Heating Demand

November 25, 2025, 11:54 PM EST. Natural gas prices fell on Tuesday as warmer-than-normal forecasts for much of the US reduced near-term heating demand. December Nymex NGZ24 closed down about 4%. Forecaster Maxar flagged warmer risks across the north-central and midwest for Nov 10-14. On the supply side, Lower-48 dry gas production and LNG net flows showed mixed moves, while utilities' rising electricity output supported demand modestly. The latest EIA weekly data showed a bigger-than-expected build of +78 Bcf but below the 5-year average, suggesting ample inventories ahead. European storage remained near full, and US drilling activity ticked up slightly to 102 rigs. Overall, ample supply and softer heating demand kept prices under pressure.

Three bubbles ready to burst: AI, new tech hype, and market risk in 2026

November 25, 2025, 11:52 PM EST. Three hyped market trends could unwind in 2026 as valuations outrun fundamentals. The piece notes AI, along with other game-changing technologies, has driven gains in the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow, but the long path to meaningful ROI remains uncertain. Despite surging AI infrastructure sales, deployment value and adoption lag behind hype, raising the risk of disappointments. Palantir is cited as an example where strong Gotham offerings may not yet translate into clear returns. Historically, new tech often matures slowly after an initial surge, and investor optimism can overshoot. If all three bubbles pop, the market could face a historic reset that reshapes major indices.

Stock market could make history in 2026 with 3 bubbles ready to burst

November 25, 2025, 11:50 PM EST. Markets face the possibility of three simultaneous bubbles in 2026 as AI, blockchain-related tech, and other next-big-thing trends confront maturation gaps. The piece notes that while AI spending has surged, returns on AI investments remain uncertain and valuations look hard to justify. It highlights Palantir Technologies as an example of how hype can outpace fundamentals, with its Gotham SaaS platform illustrating the tension between rapid growth and profitability. The broader point is that history shows new tech often needs time to mature before broad adoption translates into durable stock gains. If multiple themes stall at once, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average may test highs or face renewed volatility.

Three bubbles ready to burst: AI, blockchain, and metaverse could reshape 2026 market history

November 25, 2025, 11:48 PM EST. Three hyped trends are resurfacing concerns about overvaluation and timing. The piece argues that while innovations like the internet historically boosted markets, the current trio-Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain/metaverse bets, and other tech themes-may be reaching a tipping point. Despite explosive demand for AI infrastructure, profits and ROI from AI deployments remain uncertain, and valuations look hard to justify. The piece cites Palantir as an example of how an AI-driven platform can still struggle to deliver immediate returns. With 2025 seeing three concurrent bubbles, investors fear a synchronized correction as maturation lags and adoption timelines stretch. If history rhymes, 2026 could witness a rare market bubble burst across multiple themes at once, affecting the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow.

Should retirees exit the stock market temporarily? A data-driven look at timing and risk

November 25, 2025, 11:46 PM EST. In markets with stretched valuations, some retirees worry about losses and contemplate a temporary cash stake. The tale of Lynn (stay fully invested) and Steve (shifts to cash for 12 months) uses 545 rolling 12-month periods of the S&P/TSX Composite to compare outcomes. On average, Lynn ends up about $6,350 ahead after a year, and Steve wins only about 31.3% of the time. Yet the data also show that in valuation-rich environments, a cautious tilt toward cash can outperform more often. The takeaway: a complete exit is too extreme; retirees should keep some equity exposure. If they do scale back, they need a well-defined commitment to re-enter, recognizing the opportunity cost of staying out.

Should retirees temporarily exit the stock market? A data-backed look at timing, risk and opportunity cost

November 25, 2025, 11:44 PM EST. Two retired investors debate exiting stocks: Lynn stays fully invested; Steve moves to cash hoping to avoid losses and re-enter after a 20% drop. Analyzing 545 rolling 12-month periods of the S&P/TSX Composite since 1979 shows Steve would have won only 31.3% of the time, with Lynn on average $6,350 ahead after 12 months. Yet, in today's stretched valuations, a temporary cash drag might be more appealing to some retirees who fear a drawdown. The piece warns against selling everything: maintain some exposure to equities and adopt a clear plan for when and how to rebalance. The takeaway: if a market correction seems likely, reducing equity exposure could be reasonable, but only with a well-defined, bounded commitment and awareness of potential opportunity cost.

Should you exit the stock market, at least temporarily? A data-driven look for retirees

November 25, 2025, 11:42 PM EST. New data suggests that retirees considering a temporary cash pause should weigh both sides. In 545 rolling 12-month periods of the S&P/TSX Composite Index ETF, the fully invested approach (Lynn) beat the panic-to-cash tactic (Steve) about 68.7% of the time, with an average edge of roughly $6,350 after a year. Yet the story isn't one-sided: in markets with stretched valuations, a targeted partial shift to cash can improve outcomes and reduce drawdowns. The takeaway: don't sell everything and don't abandon equities entirely. If you cut exposure, do so with a clear plan to re-enter and a defined opportunity cost threshold. In short, a well-designed, temporary reduction may make sense for some retirees, not a wholesale exit.

The upgrade comes as the company contends with competition and higher costs, with customers including the US DOE, G42, xAI and CoreWeave.

November 25, 2025, 11:14 PM EST. NYSE short interest rose 2.3% in mid-November, signaling a tilt toward bearish sentiment and increased hedging activity among investors.

NYSE short interest climbs 2.3% in mid-November, signaling cautious sentiment

November 25, 2025, 11:12 PM EST. New data show the NYSE short interest rose by 2.3% in mid-November, signaling a shift toward bearish bets among investors.

In sectors with stretched valuations, the rise may reflect cautious positioning rather than a broad downturn, underscoring the importance of monitoring positioning shifts and data from ICE Data Services and FactSet.

November 25, 2025, 10:24 PM EST. Workday (WDAY) moves into Q3 2026 earnings with market jitters despite strong Q2 results. The stock has slid about 5% in the past month and is down around 10% YTD as investors weigh EPS guidance of $2.17 against stronger prior quarters. Management highlights include a $1.1 billion Sana AI acquisition, the launch of Workday Build with Flowise Agent Builder, and international expansion into the Middle East. Analysts, including Goldman Sachs, remain constructive on the AI-driven growth path, with a Buy stance and a $280 target. Yet concerns persist over organic growth deceleration and tepid guidance in key verticals like state and local government. Investors will parse how AI integrations and the upcoming earnings letter affect the stock trajectory.

Workday Jitters Ahead of Q3 2026 Earnings as AI Push and Middle East Expansion Take Center Stage

November 25, 2025, 10:22 PM EST. Workday (WDAY) faces market jitters ahead of its Q3 2026 results as investors weigh a robust AI push against tepid guidance. The stock has slid about 5% over the past month and sits roughly 10% lower for the year ahead of today's after-hours release. Analysts expect Q3 EPS of $2.17 on roughly $2.35 billion in revenue, up from a year ago, though expectations are tempered by a soft Q2 outlook. The quarter benefited from a strong Q2 beat (EPS $2.21 vs $2.12) but a cautious guidance tone clouds the narrative. AI momentum remains central: a $1.1 billion pickup for Sana AI, the Workday Build platform, and the Flowise Agent Builder aim to embed AI across workflows. International expansion, notably in the Middle East, and a bullish Goldman Sachs Buy view with a $280 target underpin optimism, even as organic growth faces scrutiny.

November 25, 2025, 10:21 PM EST. Workday (WDAY) faces market jitters ahead of its Q3 2026 earnings release as shares drift about 5% lower in the last month and 10% YTD. Analysts expect Q3 EPS of $2.17, up from $1.89 a year ago, fueled by a strong Q2 beat (EPS $2.21, revenue $2.35B). Yet soft guidance keeps growth concerns on the table. The AI push remains a focal point: a $1.1B acquisition of Sana AI to automate tasks and boost productivity, plus Workday Build and its Flowise Agent Builder for low-code AI apps. International expansion, including a Middle East leadership push, underscores growth bets. Goldman Sachs reiterates a Buy with a target of $280, citing durable fundamentals and AI progress, though offset by slower organic growth in government sectors.

Ondas Holdings Stock Falls Sharply: Is This a Buying Opportunity Amid Losses and High Liquidity?

November 25, 2025, 9:44 PM EST. Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) shares slid about 3.21% intraday as investors weigh a grim quarterly report. The stock also had a sharper move earlier, falling toward $6.18 per share, signaling renewed downside pressure. Despite a current ratio of 15.3, the company posted negative EBIT and EBITDA margins amid revenue of roughly $7.19 million for the quarter. The result: a cash-burn profile with negative operating income and negative cash flow from continued operations, underscored by heavy reliance on financing activity. Valuation remains distorted by a high price-to-sales ratio around 100.27, even as the balance sheet shows robust working capital of approximately $447.57 million. Investors may view the dip as a potential entry point, but longer-term profitability hinges on improved operating margins and a clearer growth strategy.

Ondas Holdings Stock Drops Amid Losses: Is It a Buying Opportunity?

November 25, 2025, 9:42 PM EST. Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS) stock slid -3.21% today, trading near $6.18 after a period of roughly 14% weakness. The results point to a tough quarter with negative EBIT and EBITDA margins despite about $7.19M in revenue. The shares sit at a historically high price-to-sales multiple (~100.27), while the balance sheet shows an unusually strong current ratio of 15.3. A heavy cash burn and negative operating income underline profitability challenges, financed by ongoing activity. Still, substantial working capital ($447.57M) offers a potential springboard for recovery if strategy and revenue lift in upcoming quarters. Investors should weigh market momentum against long-term plans and any new earnings guidance.

This breakout is a bullish technical signal that can invite momentum buyers and help NBHC close the gap versus its year-ago performance. Traders will watch whether the breakout sustains beyond intraday resistance and how NBHC performs relative to peers.

Ondas Holdings (ONDS) Stock Drops: Is a Buying Opportunity Emerging?

November 25, 2025, 9:38 PM EST. Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS) shares slipped -3.21% to trade around $6.18 as market uncertainty persists. The stock has swung lower, after tumbling about 14% in a recent session, underscoring a high price-to-sales ratio of 100.27 amid a challenging quarter. Revenue stood near $7.19M, with a gross margin of 33.6% but negative EBIT and EBITDA margins, signaling profitability headwinds. Despite a robust current ratio of 15.3 and liquidity, the company shows negative operating cash flow and reliance on financing, highlighting ongoing cash burn. However, substantial working capital of $447.57M hints at potential recovery if strategic pivots unlock revenue. Live update at 16:04:11 EST on Nov 25, 2025 frames the move, with critics like Tim Bohen urging traders to focus on the stock's actual performance, not hopes.

Aletheia Capital Downgrades Dell Technologies (DELL) to Hold Ahead of Q3 FY26 Earnings

November 25, 2025, 9:30 PM EST. Aletheia Capital downgraded Dell Technologies (DELL) to Hold ahead of its Q3 FY26 results. The analyst, Angus Lin, cited margin pressures from higher memory costs and rising risks from Nvidia's AVAP initiatives, which may curb Dell's system-level value add. Lin trimmed FY26 and FY27 gross margins by 1-2 percentage points and warned on the AI-server revenue trajectory, modeling about $36B in AI-server revenue versus the Street's roughly $50B consensus. He also cut EPS estimates by about 1% in FY26 and ~12% in FY27, with Q3 likely in-line and Q4 guidance modest. Wall Street's view remains a Moderate Buy, with a mean target of $167.14 implying ~31% upside.

Surging Memory Costs Could Reshape HPQ Margin Narrative Amid AI Demand

November 25, 2025, 9:26 PM EST. Market chatter around a Morgan Stanley downgrade of HP and other hardware peers centers on surging NAND and DRAM prices driven by AI demand, threatening near-term margins. The key question: can HP convert rising component costs into sustainable growth, or do memory headwinds cap earnings upside? HP counters with All-In Plan subscriptions and higher-margin recurring revenue as a cushion against hardware cost volatility. Still, the memory-price spike adds near-term risk to HP's margin trajectory even as AI PC demand and share repurchase activity keep the story intact. Analysts project HP's 2028 revenue around $56.8B with earnings near $2.9B and a fair value around $28.28, implying upside but sensitivity to memory cycles.

Macerich Breaks Above 200-Day Moving Average, Shares Rally

November 25, 2025, 9:24 PM EST. Macerich Co (MAC) crossed above its 200-day moving average of $16.90 on Tuesday, trading as high as $17.14 and up about 3.6% on the session. The breakout suggests momentum behind the REIT as it clears a key longer-term resistance. MAC's last trade hovered near $17.09 within today's action, while the 52-week range spans $12.48 to $22.27. A move above the 200-day line can draw new buyers and potentially extend gains if volume supports the move. Investors will monitor follow-through and any pullbacks toward the moving average for potential support tests.

Novartis (SWX:NOVN) Valuation Under Review as 17% YTD Rally Points to Fair Value CHF102.12

November 25, 2025, 9:22 PM EST. Novartis (SWX:NOVN) has surged 17.48% YTD, backing renewed investor interest alongside a 1-year TSR ~17.83% and a three-year return near 48%. The fair value sits at CHF102.12, slightly below the last close of CHF104.58, with the shares trading near analyst targets. A deeper look cites a robust pipeline in advanced therapies (biologics, gene and cell therapies) that could drive future earnings and margins, but risks from patent expirations and global pricing pressures could alter the outlook. The stock's P/E of 17.2x remains well below the European pharma sector average (24.3x) and peers (80.5x), suggesting a potential value gap if growth accelerates or could foreshadow downside if pipeline execution falters. The narrative implies a valuation sensitive to earnings surprises.

The move keeps the ETF aligned with a short-term bullish setup as it sits around $72.64 on the session. SPLV's 52-week range spans $67.13-$75.43, with the current price near the midpoint. The 0.9% daily gain comes as traders watch whether SPLV can sustain above the 200-day line and push toward the $75.43 52-week high. If the breakout holds, the ETF could attract fresh attention from investors seeking lower volatility exposure.

Over the past year, BXMT traded in a 52-week range of $16.51 to $21.235, underscoring how the current level near $19.00 fits within that band. If the move holds, traders may watch for continued price momentum and possible tests of higher levels beyond the next resistance area around the $19-$19.50 zone.

The move unfolds within Griffon's 52-week range of $55.01 to $86.73, highlighting meaningful upside potential enabled by the breakout. If the advance sustains and volume confirms, the break above the 200-day moving average could attract additional buyers; a lack of follow-through could prompt a retest of the line in coming sessions.

Sugar Prices Climb on Dollar Weakness and Smaller Indian Sugar Exports

November 25, 2025, 9:12 PM EST. Sugar prices rose on Tuesday as the dollar weakened and traders weighed supply dynamics. NY world sugar #11 closed up 0.61%, while London white sugar #5 gained 0.71%. Gains were supported by talk that India's food ministry may raise ethanol prices for gasoline blending, potentially diverting cane to ethanol and trimming sugar output. A 1.5 MMT export quota for 2025/26 under India's policy framework also offers carryover support. Yet the market faces a looming surplus, with the ISO forecasting a global surplus for 2025-26 and a roughly +3.2% rise in production to about 181.8 MMT. Higher output from Brazil and other producers has kept prices soft despite rising Indian estimates.

November 25, 2025, 9:08 PM EST. March arabica futures closed up 6.75 cents (+1.79%), and January ICE robusta rose 106 points (+2.38%) as crop concerns sharpen. Dryness in Brazil's Minas Gerais supports arabica prices, with Somar Meteorologia noting 26.4 mm of rain last week – about 49% of the historical average. In Vietnam, forecasts of heavy showers in Dak Lak could delay the harvest, lifting robusta bids. Shrinking ICE inventories underpin the rally: arabica at a 1.75-year low of 398,645 bags, robusta at a 4.5-month low of 5,134 lots. Tariffs on Brazilian coffee helped tighten US supply, with a 52% drop in August-October purchases. Wider supply dynamics from Brazil's 2025/26 crop outlook, Vietnam's rising output, and ICO export data frame the move toward tighter global supplies.

November 25, 2025, 9:02 PM EST. March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) closed down 1.75%, and December ICE London cocoa (CAZ25) fell 1.38% as futures extended a two-week slide to new 1.75-year lows on expectations the EU will delay its Deforestation Regulation.

The European Parliament vote is due Wednesday and is expected to pass. Traders also point to a bumper West Africa crop, with Ivory Coast dryers reporting favorable conditions and Ghana pods developing quickly. Mondelez's pod count is 7% above the five-year average. Demand weakness weighs on cocoa, alongside tariff relief and slower global grindings.

Stocks climb on hopes for lower rates as Dow jumps 660 points

November 25, 2025, 8:58 PM EST. U.S. stocks rose Tuesday as traders priced in a likely Federal Reserve rate cut, lifting the Dow by about 660 points (1.4%) and lifting the S&P 500 about 0.9% while the Nasdaq added 0.7%. The rally followed softer bond yields and growing bets that the Fed will cut its benchmark rate at the December meeting, with odds near 83% per CME Group data. Mixed data-including weaker September retail sales, softer consumer confidence, and a mixed wholesale inflation report-kept expectations churning, but economists suggested a rate cut could support sentiment. Smaller firms extended gains on easier policy, with the Russell 2000 jumping over 2%. Retailers such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Kohl's, and Best Buy jumped after upbeat results or forecasts.

VIX 101: What drives market volatility and the role of options expiration

November 25, 2025, 8:20 PM EST. Understanding the VIX as the market's weather gauge, not a pure fear gauge. It tracks implied volatility from 30-day S&P 500 options, reflecting how much protection big money buys rather than emotions. When institutions hedge in force, the VIX spikes, signaling a shift in market weather. The chart shows a seasonal pattern, with higher readings in October-November due to bigger swings historically. A 50-day moving average can act as a ceiling or floor, smoothing the VIX and hinting at regime changes-more storms even on sunny days. And don't forget opX: options expiration can add to volatility as traders adjust positions, especially around monthly expirations.

Lopsided trading: Big Tech stumbles while retail shares rise

November 25, 2025, 8:18 PM EST. Stocks finished higher midweek as the S&P 500 extended its win streak, but action remained lopsided. Mega-cap AI names – notably Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle – pressured the Nasdaq, even as Meta Platforms traded higher on chatter it could lean on Alphabet for tensor processing units. Nvidia could cede share to Broadcom in a broader AI-infrastructure shift. On the flip side, retail sparked strength in consumer discretionary after better-than-expected reports from Dick's Sporting Goods, Abercrombie & Fitch, Best Buy, and Kohl's, with TJX Companies and Costco also good on monthly sales, and Nike showing signs of turning around. Caution remains: consumer confidence fell in November, and a December rate cut could lift sentiment. Tonight brings results from Dell Technologies, HP Inc, Workday, Zscaler, and Ambarella, with Deere reporting tomorrow.

Bitcoin and Ethereum at Risk: How Key Liquidation Levels Could Spark Cascading Moves

November 25, 2025, 8:16 PM EST. Crypto markets have shown extreme volatility as BTC and ETH price swings trigger massive liquidations. Liquidations occur when a platform's risk engine closes leveraged positions after margin calls, sometimes sparking a cascade as nearby bets unwind. New on-chain data from the Hyperliquid protocol highlights key downside levels for BTC (e.g., $63,875, $73,557, $78,617) and modest upside risk beyond $90,000, with calls at $100k-$110k. A wave of liquidations at these levels can bleed into spot markets, creating abrupt spikes or drops. Traders hedge with puts around the $80k area while positioning for higher levels. If BTC rallies, the market eyeing six-figure skies could fuel further volatility and risk.

Datavault AI Inc. (DVLT) Plunges 13% on Data Privacy Concerns as Revenue Slump Worsens Debt

November 25, 2025, 8:14 PM EST. Datavault AI Inc. (DVLT) shares tumbled about 13% after reports of a data privacy breach and mounting financial strain. The quick take shows a widening loss backdrop: net income of -$32.97M against revenue of $2.67M, with an EBIT margin of -1,099.2%. Profitability remains stormy as gross margin holds at 6.8%, while the P/E trades near 1.77 and total debt climbs. A troubling current ratio of 0.7 and an ultra-low asset turnover of 0.1 signal liquidity and efficiency weaknesses. The stock's downbeat price action is compounded by ongoing dilution from stock issuances and skepticism over future strategy, pressuring investors amid elevated risk.

Nvidia Stock Falls to $175 as Meta-Google TPU Deal Threatens AI Dominance

November 25, 2025, 8:12 PM EST. NVDA (NVIDIA) tumbled to around $175 after Meta Platforms and Google signal a shift to TPUs, eroding Nvidia's data-center dominance. As of Nov 25, 2025, NVDA traded at $175.84, down 3.7%, with a roughly $150B intraday market-value swing. Nvidia's Q3 FY2026 results were record-breaking: revenue $57.01B, net income $31.91B, EPS $1.30. The immediate concern: if Meta uses Google's TPUs more, Nvidia could see a 10% hit to annual data-center revenue, amounting to several billion dollars. Valuation remains stretched: P/E ~43.6x, P/B ~37.3x, with a negligible dividend. The market faces AI-competition risks as hyperscalers reallocate spending, conditioning Nvidia's pricing power and growth trajectory.

November 25, 2025, 8:06 PM EST. Bitcoin remains in a bear market phase as liquidity keeps pressure on prices, with BTC trading rangebound and sentiment weighing on risk assets. Traders watch the macro backdrop, including Fed policy signals and risk-off flows, which have kept downside pressure despite occasional bounces. On-chain metrics show mixed signals: active addresses and miner economics suggest resilience, while funding rates and volatile volume hint at continued instability. The primary questions: can BTC break above key resistance and invalidate the bear case, or does the market revisit whether macro conditions worsen? Investors should balance risk with a disciplined plan, recognizing that volatility and drawdowns can persist until a durable catalysts emerge.

3 High-Quality Stocks Getting Stomped by the Market: Is Now the Time to Buy?

November 25, 2025, 8:02 PM EST. Despite a 2025 market rally, several quality stocks lag the S&P 500 by double digits. The piece flags Visa (V), Axon Enterprise (AXON), and Booking Holdings (BKNG) as examples-great businesses with durable moats, not immune to the pullback.

Axon trades near $517 after a post-earnings drop; Q3 revenue rose 31% to $711 million, but adjusted EPS missed estimates, pressured by tariffs and margin compression. The article weighs whether today's prices are bargains or risky bets amid ongoing macro headwinds.

Crypto's $19B Shake: Leverage, Tariffs, and Market Crosswinds Explored

November 25, 2025, 8:00 PM EST. October 10 delivered the crypto market's largest liquidation, totaling $19.2 billion and wiping out about $450 billion in market value. Bitcoin flirted with critical levels as ETH and SOL tumbled, and traders faced a cascade of double-digit losses driven by a burst of leverage amid macro headlines. Speculation swirled over whether new tariffs and trade tensions or the market's own fragilities triggered the rout, even as Binance argued that overall market conditions were the main culprit and provided a post-mortem. Binance CEO Richard Teng apologized to affected users and pledged improvements. The risk-off mood spilled into traditional equities, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq sliding, highlighting the growing crypto-macro link and the influence of corporate crypto holdings on sentiment.

Tuesday Sector Laggards: Utilities and Energy Dip as XLU and XLE Struggle

November 25, 2025, 7:42 PM EST. Tuesday's session shows Utilities leading the downside among major sectors, down about 1.6%. Within the group, NextEra Energy (NEE) and AES Corp (AES) are laggards, sliding roughly -3.5% and -3.0%. The Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) fell about -1.9%, though it remains up 28.07% YTD. NEE is up +34.19% YTD, AES down -11.38% YTD; together they account for roughly 14.2% of XLU's holdings.

A trailing twelve month comparison chart and sector performance snapshot accompany the data.

Return Trends At Lindsay (NYSE:LNN) Aren't Appealing

November 25, 2025, 7:40 PM EST. Lindsay's Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) sits at about 13%, roughly in line with the machinery sector, and the company has reinvested capital-up about 49% over the past five years-without a material change in ROCE. That steadiness means Lindsay has avoided steep declines but also hasn't accelerated compounding: returns have remained steady at around 13% amid expanding asset base, a signal that the stock may not deliver a multi-bagger in the near term. Over the last five years, the share price has risen only about 3.8% for holders. The takeaway: cautious optimism with consistent but unremarkable progress; investors may want to explore other catalysts or valuations before committing.

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

November 25, 2025, 7:32 PM EST. Today's morning wrap focuses on the latest stock market headlines for Tuesday, but the piece opens with a comprehensive disclaimer about backtesting strategies. It emphasizes that backtested performance is not indicative of future results and reflects retroactive modeling rather than real trading. The note outlines key caveats: assumptions about liquidity, the ability to execute trades, and the impact of fees, dividends, and market factors. Investors are reminded that backtested gains may overstate performance and may differ from actual outcomes. The piece cautions readers to consider regulatory implications and the limits of historical data when evaluating strategy effectiveness, underscoring that real-world results can diverge significantly from backtested projections.

Crypto Crash Pressures US IPOs; Crypto-Linked Listings See Sharp Declines

November 25, 2025, 7:30 PM EST. The crypto crash is weighing on US IPOs, especially in the sector, as firms like Grayscale Investments and BitGo Holdings push back listing plans. Returns from new US listings have fallen this quarter, with IPOs raising more than $50M down an average of 5.3% versus a 0.9% rise in the S&P 500. Crypto-focused IPOs are among the hardest hit, with the five crypto issuers this year down an average of 31% in the quarter. The slump lifts the bar for would-be issuers to go public soon, as market demand and crypto sentiment shift.

Sugar Prices Rise on Dollar Weakness as India Ethanol Policy and Global Surplus Loom

November 25, 2025, 7:26 PM EST. March NY sugar #11 and March London white sugar #5 gain as the dollar weakens, keeping prices below last week's 1-month highs. A proposed rise in ethanol prices in India could push mills toward ethanol rather than sugar, reducing supplies. India also extended an export quota of 1.5 MMT for 2025/26, below earlier estimates. The ISO still forecasts a global surplus in 2025-26, led by output gains in India, Thailand, and Pakistan, despite earlier deficit forecasts. In Brazil, higher production and a larger Center-South crush have kept a lid on prices. ISMA raised India's 2025/26 sugar production outlook to 31 MMT, while ethanol-use estimates were trimmed to 3.4 MMT.

December Fed Cut Could Ignite the 2025 Bull Market: Liquidity, AI Bets, and Tariff Checks

November 25, 2025, 7:24 PM EST. Markets are betting on a December rate cut as liquidity becomes the market's dominant driver, a view championed by Druckenmiller. The CME FedWatch signals about 82% odds, with Polymarket near 86%, underscoring a liquidity-led setup for year-end and a potential path to a 2025 bull market. History shows most corrections stay garden-variety rather than turning into bear markets, adding resilience to the call for higher prices. On policy and tech, an AI executive order and stepped-up investments from Amazon, NVIDIA, and peers could lift AI supply chains and related names. The idea of Tariff Dividend Checks adds a favorable tailwind, though investors should remember data surprises and liquidity remain the market's main engine.

Enlivex to Buy Rain Token for Arbitrum-Based Prediction Market Expansion

November 25, 2025, 7:22 PM EST. Nasdaq-listed biopharma Enlivex plans to buy $212 million of Rain, the native token of the Arbitrum-based Rain Protocol, aiming to become the largest corporate holder and activate it for yield to drive shareholder value. The move funds Rain exposure via 212 million Enlivex shares at $1 each. Rain, a $1.8 billion prediction market protocol launched in 2023, sits at the center of a sector rally as prediction markets tout potential growth toward $96 billion in the next decade. The space has drawn big funding from Kalshi and Polymarket, while regulators in the US and abroad weigh in-Kalshi has faced cease-and-desist orders; Polymarket recently won CFTC approval after a Romania ban. Watch for how regulatory headwinds and institutional backing shape Rain's trajectory.

US Consumers Dial Back Ahead of Holidays as Confidence Drops

November 25, 2025, 7:20 PM EST. US consumers are pulling back ahead of the holidays, setting a cautious tone for markets. Retail sales rose only 0.2% in September, indicating a slower pace of spending when inflation is ignored. A fresh Conference Board reading shows consumer sentiment at its lowest in seven months, reflecting anxiety about the labor market and the broader economy. Taken together, the data suggest a cautious holiday season and a tougher backdrop for retailers and consumer-focused stocks. Traders will watch for any signs of a rebound in jobs or wage growth, as well as revisions to inflation data. In short, the spending engine is cooling, which could tilt sentiment toward defensives or retailers with pricing power.

Cocoa Prices Sink as EU Deforestation Regulation Delay Signals Ample Global Supplies

November 25, 2025, 7:10 PM EST. March ICE NY cocoa futures fell about 1.5% and December ICE London cocoa #7 slipped near 1% as prices extended a two-week slide to multi-year lows on expectations of ample global supplies. The expected one-year delay to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) eases import hurdles and supports shipments from West Africa, Indonesia and South America. A likely bumper crop in West Africa weighs on prices, with Ivory Coast pod counts and harvests improving and Ghana benefiting from favorable weather. Mondelez noted a pod count above the five-year average. Weaker global demand and softer Halloween sales add pressure, while regional grindings show declines in Asia and Europe despite a modest North American uptick. Ivory Coast port arrivals point to tighter near-term supply.

Weather in Brazil and Vietnam Lifts Coffee Prices on Supply Concerns

November 25, 2025, 7:08 PM EST. Coffee futures rose as adverse weather in Brazil and Vietnam boosts supply concerns. March arabica (KCH26) rose about 1.21% and January ICE Robusta (RMF26) about 2.36%. Dry conditions in Minas Gerais and forecasts of heavy rains in Dak Lak suggest harvest delays, supporting prices. Tightening ICE arabica inventories and near-term shortages underpin gains, with Robusta inventories near multi-month lows. Tariffs in the US weighed on Brazilian purchases, tightening supplies. Vietnam remains the world's largest robusta producer, with 2025/26 output forecast up around 6% to 1.76 MMT, a potential cap on upside. The ICO reported a slight year-over-year decline in global exports, while Conab cut Brazil's 2025 arabica crop forecast by about 4.9%.

UniFirst (NYSE: UNF) Increases Dividend to $0.365; Payout Sustainable with 19% Next-Year Ratio

November 25, 2025, 7:04 PM EST. UniFirst Corp. (NYSE: UNF) announced a 4.3% dividend hike to $0.365 per share, payable January 2. The dividend yield remains modest at about 0.9%, but the payout appears sustainable, backed by cash flow and earnings. Analysts expect EPS to grow about 10.9% next year, suggesting a projected payout ratio near 19%. The company has a long history of rising distributions, from around $0.15 in 2015 to the most recent annual payout near $1.40, indicating a strong dividend trajectory. While earnings growth has been modest (roughly 2.7% annually), UniFirst can raise its payout ratio if needed. Overall, the stock blends growth and income, with solid coverage and cash conversion-potentially appealing to dividend-focused investors.

PHINIA's Returns Hit a Wall: Flat ROCE and Stagnant Capital Employed Challenge Growth

November 25, 2025, 7:02 PM EST. PHINIA (NYSE:PHIN) shows a stable but unimpressive profile. Its ROCE sits around 11% and has remained flat for the last three years, with capital employed largely unchanged. The result is a mature, steady operation rather than a potential multi-bagger setup. The stock's total return over the past year has been flat, underscoring a lack of near-term catalysts. The article notes two warning signs investors should consider before chasing upside. Unless new investment picks up, analysts' forecasts may struggle to drive material upside. For investors, PHINIA may offer durability but not the outsized gains some look for in growth stories.

Crude Prices Fall on War-End Hopes and Soft US Data

November 25, 2025, 7:01 PM EST. WTI crude (CLF26) and January RBOB gasoline (RBF26) slid to five-week lows as traders priced in potential relief from Russia energy restrictions if a peace deal advances. The mood turned on expectations of an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict but was tempered by weaker US data, with retail sales and payrolls undershooting forecasts, signaling softer demand. On the supply side, Russia's export cuts and sanctions provided some support, while OPEC+ plans and a looming global surplus kept a lid on prices. Tanker stockpiles rose to multi-year highs, underscoring near-term supply pressure. Overall, crude drifted lower on geopolitical headlines and softer US demand, even as sanctions and output shifts add volatility.

Stocks Pare Drop as Fed Rate Cut Expectations Improve

November 25, 2025, 6:54 PM EST. Stock indexes were mixed as investors priced in a potential Fed rate cut next month after softer data. The S&P 500 nudged higher, the Dow rose, while the Nasdaq 100 slipped. E-mini futures barely moved as traders weighed weaker retail sales and the PPI against dovish yields. The odds of a December cut climbed to about 80% after data showing slower inflation signals, a softer payroll backdrop from ADP, and a fall in consumer confidence. Nvidia-led weakness in semis followed reports that Google may deploy TPUs in data centers, challenging Nvidia's AI chips. Markets awaited the BLS employment report and Beige Book updates for further direction, with investors monitoring macro momentum and policy expectations.

Families sue Binance for aiding Hamas via crypto transfers, alleging over $50 million in transactions

Dozens of families of Oct. 7, 2023 victims filed a lawsuit in North Dakota accusing Binance of knowingly facilitating the transfer of funds for terrorist groups, including Hamas, the IRGC, Hezbollah, and PIJ, amounting to more than $50 million on public blockchains. The complaint targets founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and associate Guangying Chen, alleging they designed Binance as a 'criminal enterprise' that aided money laundering on a global scale and actively shielded Hamas customers from U.S. regulators. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, plus treble damages under terrorism-related statutes. The suit comes days after former President Trump pardoned Zhao, who had pleaded guilty to failing to combat money laundering. Binance contends it complies with sanctions laws and rejects the allegations.

StubHub IPO Investor Sues Over Misrepresented Free Cash Flow, Stock Drops 21%

November 25, 2025, 6:46 PM EST. An investor filed a class-action suit in SDNY alleging StubHub Holdings' IPO filings misrepresented its free cash flow by failing to disclose changes in vendor-payment timing that hurt the metric. The complaint says the registration statement and prospectus should have warned of these timing shifts, which contributed to the stock's 21% plunge to $14.87 on Nov. 14 after the company's Q3 results. The failure to accurately portray free cash flow amid an IPO can heighten investor risk. StubHub reported quarterly results days earlier, triggering fresh scrutiny of its financial disclosures and the decline in valuation as the market weighs the impact of the alleged misstatements.

MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE:MBC) Share Price: Valuation vs. Volatility and Near-Term Outlook

November 25, 2025, 6:42 PM EST. MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE:MBC) has seen notable price swings, trading as high as US$13.73 and dipping to US$9.44 before settling near US$10.36. The stock appears fairly valued versus an estimated intrinsic value around US$12.56, suggesting limited upside if that valuation holds. Its elevated beta signals considerable volatility, which could create future trading opportunities if the price moves toward a more favorable level. Near-term catalysts are unclear, and the company faces a negative revenue growth outlook of about -2.3% next year, increasing risk for investors. While some may view current pricing as a reasonable entry at fair value, the combination of negative growth and uncertainty warrants caution for new buyers.

November 25, 2025, 6:40 PM EST. Shares of NVIDIA fell about 4% after a report that Meta is in talks to spend billions on Google's TPUs for use in Meta's data centers in 2027, and to rent Google Cloud chips next year. The potential deal could boost Alphabet's chip footprint, with a person briefed on the matter saying Google could capture as much as 10% of NVIDIA's annual revenue from the arrangement, given that Meta currently relies on Nvidia GPUs. NVIDIA remains the dominant supplier of AI GPUs, while Google emphasizes TPUs as a cheaper, secure alternative. Meta did not comment. The story underscores evolving dynamics in AI hardware, where cloud providers and chipmakers vie for pricing and control of compute workloads.

Nvidia slides as Google gains AI lead with Gemini 3 and TPUs

November 25, 2025, 6:32 PM EST. Shares of Nvidia fell about 4.4% on Tuesday, erasing nearly $200 billion from its market value and rattling a tech-heavy tape. The decline followed growing bets that Google is gaining the upper hand in AI, aided by its new Gemini 3 model trained on TPUs. Analysts compared Gemini 3's potential disruption to past shocks, suggesting the AI leadership hierarchy may be shifting toward Alphabet. The company's latest model could recalibrate demand for Nvidia's chips, with Meta reportedly among potential users. Nvidia has now lost over $800 billion since its peak, while rivals like AMD also declined. The Nasdaq eased as investors reassessed AI spending trajectories.

Nvidia and AMD Dip on Google TPUs; BofA's Arya Sees a Buying Opportunity

November 25, 2025, 6:30 PM EST. Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) slid about 6% and 8% after concerns that Google's TPUs could intensify AI data-center competition. The Information reported Meta (META) is weighing billions in Google TPUs for its data centers by 2027, a development that could pressure GPU pricing and demand. Yet Bank of America's Vivek Arya kept a Buy rating on both names, highlighting a long-term AI growth story. Arya, a five-star TipRanks analyst with a ~59% success rate and ~17.4% average return per rating, expects the AI data-center market to reach roughly $1.2 trillion by 2030. Nvidia could retain leadership with ~75% market share (vs ~85% today) and trades near 25x forward earnings; AMD trades around 33x CY26 PE, supported by diversified growth across CPUs, GPUs, embedded, and gaming.

3 AI Infrastructure Stocks to Buy Right Now: Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD

November 25, 2025, 6:20 PM EST. With AI infrastructure spending rising, Nvidia remains the leader, delivering a 63% surge in fiscal Q3 revenue to $57 billion and expanding from GPUs into end-to-end AI solutions. Nvidia's CUDA moat, and its NVLink/InfiniBand data-center networking helped fuel a 162% rise in its data-center revenue to $8.2 billion as customers pursue AI factories. The piece argues Nvidia dominates training, but Broadcom and AMD could gain traction in inference, where per-inference costs and total cost of ownership matter more. Broadcom's strength in networking devices and push into custom ASICs for hyperscalers could unlock new growth, while AMD's opportunity hinges on growing its share of the GPU space. Inference demand could broaden the AI infrastructure landscape.

November 25, 2025, 5:58 PM EST. The dollar index (DXY) drifted lower by about 0.35% as softer U.S. data bolstered the odds of a Fed rate cut at the December meeting.

YieldBoost on SAIC: 15.8% Annualized Return From May 2026 Covered Call

November 25, 2025, 5:40 PM EST. An options-based income strategy on Science Applications International Corp (SAIC) offers a YieldBoost by selling the May 2026 covered call with a $95 strike, collecting a bid of $5.60. The premium annualizes to about 14% additional return, yielding a total of roughly 15.8% annualized if the stock isn't called. If SAIC advances above $95, upside is capped and the stock must rise about 11.6% from today for assignment to occur, which would still leave the investor with an 18.2% return from this level plus any dividends paid before the call. The approach relies on current price around $85.15, one-year volatility near 33%, and general dividend unpredictability. Potential buyers should weigh the reduced upside against steady income and the possibility of losing gains beyond the strike.

YieldBoost: Chord Energy (CHRD) 20.5% Potential With Mar 2026 Covered Call

November 25, 2025, 5:38 PM EST. CHRD holders can boost income by selling the March 2026 covered call at the $100 strike with a bid around $4.30. That premium annualizes to about 14.9%, adding to the base 5.7% dividend yield for a potential 20.5% annualized return if the stock stays below $100. If the stock is called away, upside is capped but could still yield about 13.5% from this level plus accumulated dividends. Caveats: dividend amounts are not guaranteed; CHRD's trailing volatility runs around 42% with the stock near $91.92. This approach trades upside for income and depends on whether the premium adequately compensates for lost upside beyond $100.

Sell PTC July 2026 Put at $165 to Earn 7.5% Annualized YieldBoost

November 25, 2025, 5:36 PM EST. Investors contemplating a PTC purchase near $172.74 can consider selling the July 2026 $165 put, which carries a bid of $7.90. The premium yields about 4.8% of the $165 commitment, or roughly 7.5% annualized (Stock Options Channel's YieldBoost). A put seller would only own PTC shares if the option is exercised, typically around a $157.10 effective cost after subtracting the premium. While this strategy can provide income, it forgoes upside from a stock rally. The analysis notes PTC's ~33% trailing 12-month volatility. Like all options, caveat emptor: consult charts and fundamentals. This piece highlights the risk/reward of the strategy and points readers to more ideas on StockOptionsChannel.com.

Teledyne TDY at $440: Earn 3.5% Annualized by Selling the November 2026 Put (YieldBoost)

November 25, 2025, 5:34 PM EST. Investors evaluating Teledyne Technologies Inc (TDY) could consider selling puts instead of buying at the current $494.20 price. The November 2026 put with a $440 strike currently bids around $15. That premium delivers about a 3.4% yield, or roughly 3.5% annualized, a strategy Stock Options Channel calls YieldBoost. Selling puts locks in a cost basis of $425 if exercised-$440 minus the $15 premium-while capping upside to the premium collected. The upside exists only if TDY declines enough to be assigned shares; otherwise, the risk is limited to the premium lost. TDY's trailing twelve-month volatility is about 23%, and the stock trades near $494.20. This approach blends charting and fundamentals to gauge risk-reward in relation to the strike, expiration, and market movement.

YieldBoost Brunswick: Turn 2.6% Yield Into ~14.9% via March 2026 Covered Call on BC

November 25, 2025, 5:32 PM EST. Brunswick Corp. (BC) investors can boost income by selling the March 2026 covered call at the $75 strike and collecting the $2.60 bid premium. The premium annualizes to about 12.3%, creating a total potential of ~14.9% if the stock isn't called away. If BC is called away, upside above $75 is capped, but shares would have to rise roughly 11.8% from current levels for assignment, delivering about 15.6% from this trade plus any dividends earned pre-call. Note that dividends aren't guaranteed and depend on profitability; Brunswick's 2.6% annualized yield can change. The calculation uses trailing 12-month volatility near 45% and compares risk/reward of the March 2026 call vs. continuing ownership.

Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) Crosses Above 200-Day Moving Average, Sparks Rally

November 25, 2025, 5:30 PM EST. INSP crossed above its 200-day moving average of $123.73, trading as high as $133.50 on Tuesday. The stock is currently up about 12.6% for the session. A one-year chart tracks INSP against its 200-day moving average and shows the bullish move as price tests the crossover. The stock's 52-week range spans $70.77 to $216.01, with a last trade near $132.57. A bullish MA-cross like this can attract momentum traders seeking trend-following signals. Investors should consider the mix of strong intra-day performance and longer-term context as INSP eyes additional upside.

Agree to Purchase Nucor at $100 via Jan 2028 Put for 7.7% Yield (YieldBoost)

November 25, 2025, 5:28 PM EST. Investors eyeing NUE stock may consider selling puts rather than buying at the current market price of $156.34. The January 2028 put with a $100 strike is trading with a bid around $7.70, delivering a 7.7% premium yield on the $100 commitment and an approx. 3.6% annualized return (the platform calls this the YieldBoost). If exercised, the buyer acquires shares at $100, giving the seller a cost basis of $92.30 after subtracting the premium. The strategy caps upside relative to owning stock, and requires a steep drop (roughly 36.6%) to be exercised. Compare this to NUE's 1.4% dividend, and note 38% volatility as a guide alongside chart/fundamental analysis. Consider other expirations for more YieldBoost ideas.

Commit To Purchase Berkshire Hathaway at $340 With January 2028 Put for 1.6% Yield (YieldBoost)

November 25, 2025, 5:26 PM EST. Investors eyeing a purchase of BRK.B at the market price around $508.05 could consider selling puts, notably the January 2028 put at the $340 strike. The current bid for that contract is $5.55, which equates to a 1.6% premium return on the $340 commitment and about 0.8% annualized (the so-called YieldBoost). A put seller won't gain Berkshire's upside unless the contract is exercised, and only then would they own shares at roughly $334.45 after subtracting the premium. Risk aside, the piece notes an implied volatility around 19% based on trailing 12 months. For other expirations, see the BRK.B Stock Options page at StockOptionsChannel.

Alphabet Tops MAG 7 Picks for the Year, Says a Top Tech Investor

November 25, 2025, 5:16 PM EST. A top tech investor argues Alphabet is the standout among the MAG 7 for the coming year. The case centers on AI leadership, robust advertising revenue, and expanding cloud services that fuel durable growth. Alphabet's YouTube monetization and continued investment in AI-driven products provide a long-term earnings power moat, while a strong balance sheet supports capital discipline. Risks include regulatory headwinds and ad-cycle volatility, but the investor contends these are more than offset by Alphabet's cash flow generation and scalable ecosystem. For investors seeking exposure to leading tech franchises, Alphabet is positioned as a core MAG 7 holding with potential for multi-year upside.
