Market Signal Briefing

Key Takeaways Four stocks were screened for increasing cash flow trends and solid financial resilience.RadNet, Mission Produce, Castle Biosciences and FreightCar America met all screening criteria.Each company showed improved earnings estimates and strong VGM Scores of A or B.
We are in one of the busiest weeks of the current reporting cycle, and betting on stocks based on profit numbers and earnings surprises is in trend. But looking beyond profits and figuring out a company’s cash position can be far more rewarding.

In this regard, stocks such as RadNet, Inc. (RDNT - Free Report) , Mission Produce, Inc. (AVO - Free Report) , Castle Biosciences, Inc. (CSTL - Free Report) and FreightCar America, Inc. (RAIL - Free Report) are worth buying.

Even though profit is a company’s goal, cash is necessary for its existence, development and success, and it is indeed a measure of resiliency. A profitable company can still encounter cash shortages and risk bankruptcy while meeting its obligations. However, strong cash flow provides the company with resilience against market volatility, enabling strategic flexibility, the pursuit of investment opportunities and sustained growth momentum.

Assessing a company's cash-generating efficiency has become increasingly important in today’s environment, marked by global economic uncertainties, market disruptions and liquidity challenges stemming from geopolitical tensions.

To figure out this efficiency, one needs to consider a company’s net cash flow. While in any business, cash moves in and out, it is net cash flow that explains how much money a company is actually generating.

If a company is experiencing a positive cash flow, it denotes an increase in its liquid assets, which gives it the means to meet debt obligations, shell out for expenses, reinvest in the business, endure downturns and finally return wealth to shareholders. On the other hand, a negative cash flow indicates a decline in the company’s liquidity, which in turn lowers its flexibility to support these moves.

However, having a positive cash flow merely does not secure a company’s future growth. To ride on the growth curve, a company must have its cash flow increasing because that indicates management’s efficiency in regulating its cash movements and less dependency on outside financing for running its business.

Therefore, keep yourself abreast with the following screen to bet on stocks with rising cash flows.

Screening Parameters:To find stocks that have seen increasing cash flow over time, we ran the screen for those whose cash flow in the latest reported quarter was at least equal to or greater than the 5-year average cash flow per common share. This implies a positive trend and increasing cash over a period of time.

In addition to this, we chose:

Zacks Rank 1: No matter whether market conditions are good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) have a proven history of outperformance. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Average Broker Rating 1: This indicates that brokers are also highly hopeful about the company’s future performance.

Current Price greater than or equal to $5: This sieves out low-priced stocks.

VGM Score of B or better: This score is also of great assistance in selecting stocks. Importantly, this scoring system helps in picking winning stocks in their industry categories.

Here are four stocks that qualified the screening:

RadNet, Inc., is a national market leader providing high-quality, cost-effective diagnostic imaging services through a network of fully-owned and operated outpatient imaging centers. RadNet offers radiology IT and AI solutions through its DeepHealth brand, and other products and services for diagnostic imaging clients.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 earnings per share has improved significantly to 45 cents from 16 cents over the past three months. RDNT has a VGM Score of B.

Mission Produce sources, produces, packs, distributes and markets avocados principally in the United States and internationally. The company serves retail, wholesale and foodservice customers.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mission Produce’s fiscal 2025 earnings has been revised upward by 13.6% to 67 cents per share over the past two months. AVO has a VGM Score of A.

Castle Biosciences is a diagnostic company providing tests for skin cancers, Barrett’s esophagus and uveal melanoma, with R&D efforts targeting additional high-need conditions like moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Estimates for Castle Biosciences’ 2025 earnings have improved over the months, depicting analysts’ optimism about the company’s prospects. Also, CSTL has a VGM Score of B.

FreightCar America designs, manufactures and supplies railroad freight cars, along with railcar parts and components. The company also provides railcar repair services, full railcar rebody solutions and railcar conversion projects that return idle rail assets to active, revenue-generating use.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FreightCar America’s current-year earnings has moved 14.9% north over the past three months to 54 cents per share. RAIL currently has a VGM Score of A.

Presentation

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and welcome to the Bel Fuse Inc. Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.

I would now like to turn the call over to Jean Marie Young with Three Part Advisors. Please go ahead.

Jean Young
Three Part Advisors, LLC

Thank you, and good morning, everyone.

Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that during today's conference call, we will make statements relating to our business that will be considered forward-looking statements under federal securities laws, such as statements regarding the company's expected operating and financial performance for future periods, including guidance for future periods in 2025. These statements are based on the company's current expectations and reflect the company's views only as of today and should not be considered representative of the company's views as of any subsequent date. The company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements or outlook.

Actual results for future periods may differ materially from those projected by these forward-looking statements due to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors. These material risks are summarized in the press release that we issued after market close yesterday. Additional information about the material risks and

CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / October 30, 2025 / CANEX Metals Inc. ("Canex") is pleased to report that at its Annual & Special Meeting, held on October 30, 2025, Shane Ebert, Jean-Pierre Jutras, Lesley Hayes, Gregory Hanks and Blair Schultz were re-elected to the Board of Directors. Shareholders also approved fixing the number of directors at five, the appointment of BDO Canada LLP as Auditors and ratified Canex's stock option plan.

If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Qorvo (QRVO - Free Report) . This company, which is in the Zacks Semiconductors - Radio Frequency industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.

When looking at the last two reports, this chipmaker has recorded a strong streak of surpassing earnings estimates. The company has topped estimates by 44.49%, on average, in the last two quarters.

For the most recent quarter, Qorvo was expected to post earnings of $0.62 per share, but it reported $0.92 per share instead, representing a surprise of 48.39%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $1.01 per share, while it actually produced $1.42 per share, a surprise of 40.59%.

Price and EPS Surprise

With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Qorvo. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.

Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Qorvo currently has an Earnings ESP of +7.69%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on November 3, 2025.

Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.

Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.

Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Key Takeaways BHRG underwrites reinsurance globally, steadily boosting Berkshire's insurance underwriting earnings.BRK.B's float rose from $114B in 2017 to $174B in Q2 2025, fueling investments and acquisitions.BRK.B shares are up 5% YTD, with consensus estimates showing rising revenues through 2026.
Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.B - Free Report) insurance portfolio includes GEICO (auto insurance), Berkshire Hathaway Primary Group and Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group (“BHRG”). While GEICO serves as the cornerstone, BHRG is an important pillar, producing underwriting “float” that Warren Buffett has long leveraged for investments.

BHRG underwrites excess-of-loss, quota-share and facultative reinsurance across 24 countries.  Given the unprecedented nature of catastrophes, profitability can be volatile, but its contribution to insurance pre-tax underwriting earnings has been continually increasing.

BHRG is also a major contributor to Berkshire’s float—the premiums collected before claims are paid—which can be invested to generate returns without drawing on shareholder capital. Float, a low-cost capital source for the company, has grown from approximately $114 billion at the end of 2017 to $174 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2025, underscoring that Berkshire consistently achieves underwriting profitability. This means that it not only grows float but does so while earning a profit.

The profits and float generated by BHRG are deployed in growth initiatives (GEICO and other primary insurance units) and for funding strategic acquisitions and making equity investments across the company.

BHRG’s disciplined and prudent underwriting, financial capacity and efficient capital utilization make it a vital growth engine for Berkshire Hathaway. It not only delivers consistent profitability across insurance operations but also strengthens Berkshire’s ability to invest strategically, diversify its portfolio and compound value through market cycles.

What About BRK.B’s Competitors?Reinsurance operations are crucial to the growth, stability and profitability of both Arch Capital Group (ACGL - Free Report) and Everest Group (EG - Free Report) .

For Arch Capital, reinsurance provides diversified earnings, global reach and capital efficiency, complementing its insurance and mortgage segments. ACGL’s disciplined underwriting and selective risk appetite help deliver consistent profitability and strong returns on equity.

For Everest Group, the reinsurance division anchors its business model, offering a balanced portfolio across property, casualty, and specialty lines. By leveraging deep client relationships, analytics and prudent risk management, EG achieves stability despite catastrophe volatility.

For both Arch Capital and Everest Group, reinsurance serves as a strategic growth engine and a key source of long-term value creation.

BRK.B’s Price PerformanceShares of BRK.B have gained 5% year to date, outperforming the industry.

BRK.B’s Expensive ValuationBRK.B trades at a price-to-book value ratio of 1.53, above the industry average of 1.5. It carries a Value Score of D.

Estimate Movement for BRK.BThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for BRK.B’s third-quarter 2025 EPS has moved 23% north over the past 30 days, while that for fourth-quarter 2025 has witnessed no movement in the same time frame. The consensus estimate for full-year 2025 EPS moved 0.3% north over the past 30 days, while that for 2026 witnessed no movement in the same time frame.

The consensus estimates for BRK.B’s 2025 and 2026 revenues indicate year-over-year increases. While the consensus estimate for BRK.B’s 2025 EPS indicates a decline, the same for 2026 suggests an increase.

BRK.B stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Key takeaways:

Bitcoin’s bearish MACD cross and engulfing candle on the three-week chart signal a cycle top. 

Market analysts suggest that 558 days post-2024 halving indicate the Bitcoin bull cycle’s top is imminent.

Other analysts say BTC price still has room to run, with $180,000 still in the cards.

Bitcoin (BTC) price traded 3% lower on Thursday and 13% below its $126,000 all-time high reached on Oct. 6, with some traders suggesting that this level may have marked the cycle top for BTC. 

Bitcoin technicals suggest “top is in“Bitcoin’s price action appears to have confirmed a “bearish MACD crossover,” according to one crypto analyst, who suggests this could signal the end of the BTC bull run based on historical patterns. 

There is a “pending bearish MACD crossover on Bitcoin's 3-week chart,” analyst Jesse Olson said in an X post on Wednesday, adding: 

“The histogram also shows longer-term bearish divergence.”The crossover was confirmed once the moving average convergence indicator (MACD) (blue wave)— a technical indicator used by traders to identify trend changes and momentum shifts — moved below the signal line (orange wave), as shown in the chart below. 

Note that the last two times MACD sent this bearish signal were at the height of the 2017 and 2021 bull cycles, marking the top for Bitcoin.

These and “several other warnings suggest that the top is in,” Jesse Olson said in another post on Thursday. 

These include declining network activity, pointing to reduced onchain demand. Data from Nansen reveals that the number of daily active addresses on the Bitcoin network decreased by 30% in October, from 632,915 to 447,225. 

Bitcoin active addresses. Source: NansenA reducing number of daily active addresses signals waning network engagement and less user demand, often preceding price corrections or prolonged consolidation. 

Bitcoin’s imminent cycle peakPseudonymous trader and investor Mister Crypto backed the cycle top thesis with the assertion that Bitcoin has reached a point where it “historically peaks out,” based on its four-year halving cycle.

Looking back at past Bitcoin halving cycles in 2012 and 2016, there’s indeed a similar trend. The price gradually builds momentum, typically reaching its peak between 518 and 580 days after the halving event, as illustrated in the chart below. 

It has been 558 days since the 2024 Bitcoin halving, which places the BTC market within +40 days of the historical 518-580 day peak window. 

“We are right around the time where Bitcoin historically peaks out,” Mister Crypto said in an X post, asking:

“Will this time be different?”Bitcoin: Days since last halving. Source: Mister CryptoFellow analyst CryptoBird said Bitcoin may only have a few days of price expansion left in the cycle, especially if it follows historical patterns based on past halvings. 

In his latest Bitcoin analysis, CryptoBird said Bitcoin is “consolidating before an explosion and the top window is open.”

Final leg waiting room.

As Cointelegraph reported, some analysts, such as BitMEX's Arthur Hayes, say that the Bitcoin four-year cycle is dead, arguing that prices are currently driven by monetary policy and liquidity, rather than halvings. 

Others see a diminishing halving impact, arguing that a positive interest rate cycle, institutional adoption through ETFs and Bitcoin treasury companies and maturation as a mainstream asset, which could lead to more upside in 2026 for Bitcoin. 

Is Bitcoin’s upside really over?Apart from those who claim that the Bitcoin four-year cycle no longer determines the duration of the bull run, others believe that BTC still has more room to run based on technical indicators.

Bitcoin has “formed a higher low and the range remains intact,” said analyst Jelle, referring to BTC’s price action in the daily time frame.

Key Takeaways
What’s happening with Ethereum?
Ethereum’s daily active addresses have reached an all-time high of 1.985 million, while gas fees dropped to historic lows of $0.01 per transaction.

Why does it matter?
Despite a four-day price decline, Ethereum’s growing network activity and efficiency signal strong fundamentals, reinforcing the long-term HODL case.

Ethereum’s network activity is surging to record levels even as its price slides for the fourth consecutive day. This has left investors asking: Should you keep HODLing ETH through the dip?

Ethereum tokens see more activity
Data from CryptoQuant shows the Ethereum Ecosystem Daily Activity Index has reached a new all-time high of 1.985 million.

The data tracks the 30-day Simple Moving Average [SMA-30] of daily active addresses across 76 ERC-20 tokens. 

Source: CryptoQuant

This sustained uptrend highlights growing on-chain engagement, not short-term speculation, underscoring the network’s fundamental strength.

Gas fee continues to drop
At the same time, Ethereum transaction fees have fallen to historic lows of 0.16 gwei, which is roughly $0.01 per transaction. This comes even as the network processes over 1.6 million daily transactions.

Data from Etherscan confirm that gas prices have hovered near record lows through most of October, despite brief early-month spikes near 18 gwei. 

This stability points to major improvements in Ethereum’s scalability and cost-efficiency, thanks to upgrades in rollup compression, Layer-2 efficiency, and validator participation.

ETH price under pressure
Despite these bullish fundamentals, ETH has dropped nearly 3% in the past 24 hours, trading around $3,796 at press time. 

The decline extends its four-day losing streak, as broader market sentiment remains cautious after the Federal Reserve’s rate cut earlier this week.

Source: TradingView

Analysis shows that price and fundamentals don’t always move in sync. Ethereum’s surging network activity and record-low transaction costs suggest underlying strength that could take time to reflect in price action. 

When on-chain metrics rise and fees fall, it usually signals preparation for the next growth phase.

The HODL case
Ethereum’s resilience lies in its ecosystem, not just its token price. As participation climbs and costs remain low, the network continues to attract new users, developers, and liquidity. 

For long-term holders, these trends make a strong argument to stay the course rather than panic-sell. Ethereum’s fundamentals are solid, and for patient investors, that’s often reason enough to keep HODLing.

Market buzz revolves around over 100M sold off by Cardano's whales, but the $1 target might still be intact.

Ethereum traders are cooking up a cauldron of leverage on the eve of Halloween. With the October expiry landing on Oct. 31, the charts look like something straight out of a haunted mansion — full of eerie calm, hidden leverage, and a few lurking liquidations.

In brief
Bernstein initiated coverage of SharpLink with an "outperform" rating.
The analysts said Ethereum is an ideal asset for crypto treasury strategies.
SharpLink shares should trade at a premium to its Ethereum holdings, they added.
Analysts at investment firm Bernstein initiated coverage of SharpLink Gaming with an “outperform” rating on Thursday, saying the Ethereum treasury firm’s shares could nearly double as the Federal Reserve lowers borrowing costs.

Bernstein analysts issued a price target of $24 per share for SharpLink, representing an 80% increase from current prices. The firm’s shares recently changed hands around $13.08, after peaking at $124.12 earlier this year, according to Yahoo Finance.

“We expect SBET to emerge as a compliant-first-institutional focused investment vehicle to access Ethereum as an investment and yield-generating asset,” the analysts wrote. “As we head into a lower rate regime, we expect significant investor appetite for SBET’s ability to deliver a sustainable Ethereum yield over the industry Ethereum staking yield.”

Like Strategy, the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, SharpLink seeks to grow the amount of cryptocurrency that it owns per diluted share to maximize value for shareholders. SharpLink currently owns 859,400 Ethereum that was recently worth $12.65 billion.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum can be natively staked, allowing anyone to earn rewards by participating in the process of validating transactions. That’s one factor making Ethereum “ideal for a digital assets strategy,” they wrote, along with the asset’s robust liquidity.

“Ethereum’s sustainable native staking yield (and other blockchain based yield opportunities) allows a digital asset treasury model to build sustainable operating earnings from the core treasury strategy over and above the capital market funded acquisitions,” they wrote.

Bernstein highlighted SharpLink’s management team, including its Chairman, Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, who also created Consensys, the firm behind MetaMask. (Disclaimer: Consensys is one of 22 investors in an editorially independent Decrypt.)

SharpLink’s management team is “strongly aligned with the Ethereum ecosystem,” the analysts noted. Earlier this week, SharpLink signaled it would eventually deploy $200 million worth of its Ethereum holdings into Ethereum layer-2 Linea, which Consensys created. 

The company said that would allow them to generate enhanced yield, which includes rewards from securing EigenCloud Autonomous Verifiable Services through a process known as restaking.

“This will likely enable them to generate incremental yield from multiple sources,” Bernstein analysts wrote. “Over the long term, we believe, SBET’s differentiation could result in more sustainable economics and greater ability to tap institutional debt and equity markets.”

‘Significantly Undervalued’

Although SharpLink can grow its Ethereum holdings sustainably through staking and associated activities, a common tool among its competitors hasn’t been consistently available.

Most treasury firms grow the amount of crypto that they own per share by issuing common equity. When a company’s shares trade at a premium relative to its crypto holdings, the move allows firms to grow their holdings by capitalizing on the difference.

Oftentimes, this premium is referred to as mNAV, or multiple-to-net asset value. Some view this metric as indicative of investors’ faith in a company’s vision for delivering on its strategy, whether that involves Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets.

Bernstein’s price target indicates a 15% premium to its crypto holdings, reflecting an ability to generate yield at a compound annual growth rate of 3.4% over the next decade. It also captures 2.4% yield from Ethereum and 1% from Ethereum and share purchases, they wrote.

On Thursday, SharpLink had an mNAV of 0.88, according to Strategic Ethereum Reserve. That means the company was valued at a 19% discount relative to its crypto holdings.

“We believe the premium to SBET’s ETH NAV is justified, driven by its ability to use leverage and ETH staking yields,” the analysts wrote, while acknowledging that market sentiment could also play a role and lead to fluctuations in SharpLink’s share price.

The company’s stock price plummeted 70% earlier this year after a registration-of-shares filing was deemed effective by the SEC. At that point, investors that funded the company’s pivot away from gambling marketing had the opportunity to sell their shares.

Last month, SharpLink repurchased one million shares for $32 million, saying it believed its common stock was “significantly undervalued” in the market. In August, the company said it had gained approval to repurchase up to $1.5 billion worth of common shares.

Eventually, SharpLink could issue its own debt, mirroring Strategy, Bernstein analysts wrote. The Bitcoin-buying firm has historically issued convertible debt as a way to accumulate more of the asset and effectively take on leverage.

“We expect SBET to continue to deploy share buybacks to fill the discount gap,” they wrote. “We [then] expect SBET to gradually scale its debt strategy, as SBET share value stabilizes relative to its Ethereum NAV.”

Ethereum was recently trading at about $3,780, down 5.3% over the past 24 hours. It is up 13.5% year-to-date.

In a Myriad prediction market, just 7% of respondents believe that SharpLink will hold more Ethereum than BitMine Immersion, which currently has the largest ETH treasury. Myriad is a unit of Dastan, the parent company of Decrypt.

Whales sold 100M ADA in 72 hours, pushing Cardano’s price down to $0.64. Key support sits at $0.55 as market momentum remains weak.

Cardano (ADA) faced strong selling pressure this week after large holders moved a large amount of tokens. Around 100 million ADA were sold in just 72 hours.

Meanwhile, this has raised new concerns among investors about the short-term direction of the asset. The sell-off also lines up with a price drop from $0.88 to $0.64.

Whales Exit Positions Within Days
Data shows that wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion ADA trimmed their balances over a three-day period, which could be one of the reasons behind the asset’s price slip during this period.

100 million Cardano $ADA sold by whales in 72 hours! pic.twitter.com/2VXsZnx90m

— Ali (@ali_charts) October 29, 2025

Notably, the timing of the sales suggests a direct link between whale behavior and market movement. Since mid-October, the size of whale holdings has remained flat, which shows there hasn’t been much new buying activity from such accounts. This could mean that major players are staying cautious as market uncertainty persists.

What Comes Next for ADA?
In a recent video update, Martinez stated that Cardano “may still see one more leg down” before any meaningful recovery. He pointed to the $0.55 level as a key area of interest, where increased buying activity could lead to a price rebound. He also mentioned a potential upward move toward $0.74 if a bounce occurs from that support zone.

Moreover, as CryptoPotato reported, Martinez pointed to a possible long-term move toward $1.70 but noted it would likely need much stronger momentum to play out.

Price Levels and Trading Indicators
At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.64. It’s down slightly over the last 24 hours, but still up 1% across the past week. The $0.64 mark is being watched as a short-term support level.

Momentum remains weak as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 40. That’s below the midpoint of 50, showing low demand. However, it hasn’t yet reached the oversold zone, which starts at 30.

Source: TradingView
Another key signal, the MACD, has shown a small bullish crossover. The MACD line recently crossed above the signal line. While this is often seen as a sign of changing momentum, the move is still weak and hasn’t confirmed a trend shift yet.

Institutional Flows and ETF Listing
This week, Cardano recorded $300,000 in outflows from crypto investment funds, based on CoinShares data. That follows $3.7 million in inflows the week before. The drop suggests that investor interest has cooled for now.

On a different note, ADA was recently included in the REX-Osprey Top 10 Crypto Index ETF, according to market commentator Mintern. This development could bring added visibility to Cardano among investors tracking regulated products.

On the Ethereum network, a major smart contract platform, transaction fees have reached near-historic lows of just 0.16 gwei, or approximately $0.01 per transaction. This, however, signals a more mature and scalable infrastructure, ready for advanced real-world use cases.

As of the close of October 2025, Ethereum's network activity is booming with active addresses reaching unprecedented levels, yet its price has seen a decline. This paradox presents a compelling scenario where the underlying fundamentals of Ethereum remain robust, despite its market value suggesting otherwise.

Bonk price weakens below the point of control resistance, signaling short-term vulnerability. Failure to hold the value area low could trigger a deeper correction toward untapped support zones.

Summary

Bonk breaks below the point of control resistance, confirming bearish momentum.
Value area low remains the final key support to hold.
Weak volume and failed bounces suggest downside continuation is likely.

Bonk (BONK) price is showing growing signs of weakness after failing to reclaim the point of control (POC), a critical resistance level that had supported price action in recent days. The breakdown below this structure has shifted short-term sentiment bearish, suggesting that the market may be preparing for a deeper correction if the next key support level fails to hold.

Bonk price key technical points:

Loss of POC: Price has broken below the point of control resistance, a major structural weakness.
Key Support Zone: The value area low remains the last defense before lower targets are exposed.
Volume Decline: Recent bounce lacks decisive bullish volume, signaling fading demand.

BONUSDT (4H) Chart, Source: TradingView
From a technical standpoint, the recent loss of the POC resistance is a critical development for Bonk’s price structure. The POC had served as a pivotal area where volume was concentrated, acting as equilibrium between buyers and sellers. Losing this level suggests a clear shift in control back to the bears.

If the value area low (VAL) fails to hold, Bonk could accelerate toward lower untapped support zones, extending the current correction phase. The weak volume profile reinforces this outlook, as the recent bounce showed little follow-through from buyers.

This lack of conviction indicates that the move higher was likely reactive rather than impulsive, a typical trait of corrective price action before continuation lower.

Until price reclaims the POC on a closing basis, the short-term outlook remains bearish. Such a reclaim would mark renewed demand and could shift the bias back toward accumulation; however, the absence of this confirmation keeps the downside probabilities elevated.

What to expect in the coming price action
If Bonk fails to defend the value area low, a drop toward untapped support zones becomes increasingly likely. Conversely, if the POC is reclaimed and price holds above it on strong volume, it would invalidate the immediate bearish outlook and signal a potential rotation back toward mid-range resistance levels.

For now, however, the technical landscape favors caution, as the lack of bullish volume and loss of structural support both point to continued weakness in the short term.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading below $108,000 after the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point rate cut failed to lift markets, with charts pointing to deeper losses.

Fed Rate Cut Fails To Wake Up Bitcoin PriceThe Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by 25 basis points to a range of 3.75%–4.00%, marking its first cut in months. 

The move, widely expected, reflected policymakers attempt to balance slowing inflation with emerging economic weakness. 

Despite the policy shift, markets barely reacted, as traders had already priced in the decision ahead of Wednesday's announcement.

Analysts said the muted response stemmed from expectations that the Fed would act cautiously through year-end. 

U.S. equities traded mixed, with the S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) flat at 6,890, Dow Jones slipping 0.16%, and the Nasdaq Composite up 0.55%.

10-year Treasury yields edged to 4.10% and the global crypto market cap fell 4.2% to $3.64 trillion.

Powell's Warning Rattles Markets And Crypto TradersFollowing the meeting, Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that another rate cut in December "is not a foregone conclusion," highlighting deep divisions within the Federal Open Market Committee.

In a post on X, Quinn Thompson, chief investment officer at Lekker Capital, described Powell's language as "political posturing" aimed at pushing the administration to reopen the government. 

Thompson argued that Powell's message effectively warned that a continued shutdown could block key economic data and hinder future rate decisions.

The shift in tone rattled markets briefly, with Treasury yields climbing and the probability of a December cut falling from near certainty to roughly even odds. 

Crypto assets mirrored the cautious sentiment, with Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) down to $3,773 and XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) slipping to $2.45.

Liquidity Shift Could Be Hidden Bullish Fuel For BitcoinThompson said Powell's comments should not be viewed as a hawkish turn but as leverage in a political negotiation. 

He noted that the Fed will halt its quantitative tightening program on Dec. 1, ending the runoff of Treasury and mortgage holdings. 

Instead, the central bank will reinvest maturing securities into Treasury bills, which he framed as "incrementally liquidity positive."

Analysts see that as a supportive signal for risk assets, especially cryptocurrencies, which tend to benefit from easier dollar liquidity. 

The mix of cooling inflation, labor-market softness, and a pause in balance-sheet contraction creates an environment historically favorable for digital assets.

Bitcoin Price Breakdown Puts $93,000 Support In The Spotlight

BTC Price Action (Source: TradingView)

On the charts, bitcoin has slipped under $108,000, breaking down from a multi-week symmetrical triangle. 

The rejection near the EMA cluster between $111,700 and $112,900 confirmed selling pressure. 

Momentum remains weak, with the RSI near 30, suggesting the asset is approaching oversold conditions but not yet primed for reversal.

The next major support sits at $102,000–$100,000, followed by a critical zone around $93,000–$92,000 — the final major base from August. 

A failure to defend this area could expose Bitcoin to deeper losses toward $90,000. 

Bulls would need a recovery above $112,000 to neutralize the breakdown and restore short-term momentum.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In KBR To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against KBR, Inc. (“KBR” or the “Company”) (NYSE: KBR) and reminds investors of the November 18, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Despite the knowledge that the U.S. Department of Defense’s Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) had, for months, had material concerns with HomeSafe’s ability to fulfill the Global Household Goods Contract, defendants claimed that the partnership was without issue, and would ramp up in future quarters; and (2) as a result, defendants statements about KBR’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

On June 19, 2025, after the market closed, HomeSafe issued a press release entitled “HomeSafe Alliance announces TRANSCOM’s Notice to Terminate Global Household Goods Contract.” The next day, before market hours, KBR issued a press release entitled “KBR Announcement on HomeSafe Alliance Global Household Goods Contract.”

On this news, the price of KBR stock fell $3.85 per share, or 7.29%, to close at $48.93 on June 20, 2025. On June 23, 2025, the next trading day, KBR stock fell a further $1.30, or 2.65%, to close at $47.63 on June 23, 2025.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.  

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding KBR’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

To learn more about the KBR class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/KBR or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Rockwell Automation (ROK - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on November 6. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis industrial equipment and software maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.94 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +19%.

Revenues are expected to be $2.21 billion, up 8.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.96% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Rockwell Automation?For Rockwell Automation, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.51%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

So, this combination indicates that Rockwell Automation will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Rockwell Automation would post earnings of $2.69 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.82, delivering a surprise of +4.83%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Rockwell Automation appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerKimball Electronics (KE - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $0.24 for the quarter ended September 2025. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +9.1%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $344 million, down 8.1% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Kimball Electronics has been revised 9.3% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -14.89%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Kimball Electronics will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Revenues are expected to be $7.18 billion, down 0.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 6.4% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Marex Group PLC?For Marex Group PLC, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAnother stock from the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry, Guild Holdings Company (GHLD - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.51 per share for the quarter ended September 2025.

The market expects Karat Packing (KRT - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on November 6. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.39 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -17%.

Revenues are expected to be $124 million, up 10% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Karat Packing?For Karat Packing, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -1.30%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Karat Packing will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Karat Packing would post earnings of $0.6 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.57, delivering a surprise of -5.00%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates just once.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release.
