CompaniesOct 9 (Reuters) - Humana's (HUM.N), opens new tab shares rose 15% in premarket trading on Friday after analysts said the health insurer is the biggest beneficiary of the new star ratings for 2027 Medicare Advantage plans.
Humana said 95% of its Medicare Advantage members will be enrolled in plans rated four stars or higher in 2027, up sharply from 20% in 2026, as measures of care quality and member experience improved.

Analysts at J.P. Morgan said they had expected 60% to 70%.
The US health department rates Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plans on a scale of one to five stars. Higher ratings lead to bonus payments from the government that amount to billions of dollars and boost plan enrollment.
Shares of health insurers Shares of health insurersAnalysts say Humana's ratings outshine those of larger rivals: J.P. Morgan estimates UnitedHealth's (UNH.N), opens new tab share of plans rated four stars or higher will fall to about 67% from 81% and that of CVS Health (CVS.N), opens new tab to roughly 70% from 84%.
Overall, about 71% of Medicare Advantage prescription drug plan enrollees are in contracts that will be rated four stars or higher in 2027, the health department said late on Thursday.
Humana has improved in measures of drug-plan quality, health-plan quality and readmissions, said Evercore ISI analyst Elizabeth Anderson.
The improvement "reflects the importance management has placed on fixing this metric over the past year," she said.
Health insurers provide Medicare Advantage plans for adults aged 65 and older and people with disabilities, on behalf of the government.

Společnost Glaukos ve studii fáze 4 splnila primární cíl: iDose TR v kombinaci s operací katarakty snížil nitrooční tlak po 3 měsících o 11,1 mmHg, oproti 7,4 mmHg po samotné operaci katarakty.
Study Met Primary Efficacy Endpoint, Demonstrating Statistically Significant Superiority and Clinically Meaningful IOP Reduction vs. Cataract Surgery Alone
iDose TR in Combination with Cataract Surgery Demonstrated Robust Mean IOP Reduction of 11.1 mmHg and Favorable Safety Profile Through 3 Months
ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS), an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on novel therapies for the treatment of glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases, today announced positive topline results from the Phase 4 prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial (GLK-101-04) evaluating iDose® TR administered in conjunction with cataract surgery compared to cataract surgery alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
The study achieved its primary efficacy endpoint, with iDose TR demonstrating statistically significant superiority in the reduction of mean diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) when administered in conjunction with cataract surgery compared to cataract surgery alone. At month 3, subjects undergoing cataract surgery and administration of iDose TR achieved a mean diurnal IOP reduction of 11.1 mmHg from baseline, compared to 7.4 mmHg for subjects undergoing cataract surgery alone, demonstrating statistically significant superiority with a clinically meaningful incremental treatment effect of 3.6 mmHg (p<0.0001). In addition, iDose TR demonstrated statistically significant superiority across all pre-specified secondary responder analyses, further supporting the consistency and robustness of the treatment effect observed in the study.
iDose TR also demonstrated a favorable safety profile through 3 months, with no treated-related adverse events of corneal endothelial cell loss or cystoid macular edema (CME), and no serious corneal adverse events. Overall safety findings were consistent with the well-established safety profile of iDose TR and previous clinical experience.
“We are pleased to announce these positive Phase 4 results, which add to the extensive body of clinical evidence supporting the efficacy, durability, and safety of iDose TR,” said Thomas Burns, Glaukos chairman and chief executive officer. “Importantly, these data further reinforce the versatility of iDose TR across various administration settings, demonstrating its ability to deliver clinically meaningful robust IOP reduction whether administered as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with cataract surgery. iDose TR continues to deliver strong clinical outcomes that provide meaningful benefits for patients, helping to accelerate a broader treatment paradigm shift toward earlier, interventional glaucoma care.”
GLK-101-04 is a Phase 4, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of iDose TR in combination with cataract surgery compared to cataract surgery alone in adults with OAG or OHT. The study randomized 149 study eyes, with 74 eyes assigned to the iDose TR in combination with cataract surgery arm and 75 eyes assigned to the cataract surgery alone arm. The primary endpoint evaluated the change from baseline in mean diurnal IOP at month 3.
iDose TR is a first-of-its-kind, long-duration, intracameral procedural pharmaceutical therapy designed to continuously deliver 24/7 therapeutic levels of a proprietary formulation of travoprost inside the eye for up to three years. iDose TR is intended to improve the standard of care by addressing the ubiquitous patient non-compliance issues and chronic side effects associated with topical glaucoma medications.

About iDose TR (U.S.)
iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) is a long duration prostaglandin analog approved for a single administration and indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Made from medical-grade titanium, iDose TR is implanted through the trabecular meshwork and back wall of Schlemm's canal, directly into scleral tissue. Once implanted, 75 mcg of a novel, preservative-free, proprietary formulation of travoprost continuously elutes into the anterior chamber via membrane-controlled diffusion, allowing for 24/7 release of medication.
Indication for Use: iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
Dosage and Administration: For ophthalmic intracameral administration. The intracameral administration should be carried out under standard aseptic conditions.
Contraindications: iDose TR is contraindicated in patients with active or suspected ocular or periocular infections, patients with corneal endothelial cell dystrophy (e.g., Fuch’s Dystrophy, corneal guttatae), patients with prior corneal transplantation, or endothelial cell transplants (e.g., Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty [DSAEK]), patients with hypersensitivity to travoprost or to any other components of the product.
Warnings and Precautions: iDose TR should be used with caution in patients with narrow angles or other angle abnormalities. Monitor patients routinely to confirm the location of the iDose TR at the site of administration. Increased pigmentation of the iris can occur. Iris pigmentation is likely to be permanent.
Adverse Reactions: In controlled studies, the most common ocular adverse reactions reported in 2% to 6% of patients were increases in intraocular pressure, iritis, dry eye, visual field defects, eye pain, ocular hyperaemia, and reduced visual acuity.

GLPI vyplácí roční dividendu 3,28 USD na akcii; při výhledu AFFO 4,10–4,12 USD činí výplatní poměr zhruba 80 %. Rizikem zůstává koncentrace nájemců, zejména PENN.
GLPI slashed its dividend to nearly nothing when casinos went dark in 2020, yet management now calls gaming revenues bulletproof. With one master lease sitting at a coverage ratio that leaves little room for error, investors deserve a closer look…

An 8.7% Yield Backed by Casino Real Estate Gaming and Leisure Properties (NASDAQ:GLPI) pays a forward annual dividend of $3.28 per share. At $37.79, the yield is about 8.68%. The stock is down 10.79% this year, raising questions about payout sustainability.
GLPI owns 68 gaming facilities across 20 states and leases them under triple-net terms. Tenants pay maintenance, insurance, taxes, and utilities. GLPI collects fixed rent regardless of operating costs.
AFFO Coverage Leaves a Real Cushion For REITs, adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is the right payout measure. Q2 AFFO per share was $1.03, and the quarterly dividend is $0.82, a payout of about 79.6%. Against 2026 AFFO guidance of $4.10, the payout is 80%. VICI Properties (NYSE:VICI) pays $0.45 against $0.62 of Q2 AFFO, a 72.6% payout.
CEO Peter Carlino noted:
“As of June 30, GLPI’s leverage stood at 4.8x, below the low end of our target range of 5.0x to 5.5x net debt to adjusted EBITDA.”
Tenant Concentration Is the Risk That Matters About 97% of cash rent comes from the top five tenants. PENN Entertainment (NASDAQ:PENN) runs roughly 49% of properties, including the three largest leases: Amended Pinnacle at $90.99 million, Amended PENN at $78.08 million, and PENN 2023 at $70.75 million in Q2 revenue. Bally’s (NYSE:BALY) is next, with GLPI committed to $940 million for its Chicago project. A PENN default would put the dividend at risk.
VICI has the same problem in a different form, with Caesars at 38% and MGM Resorts (NYSE:MGM | MGM Price Prediction) at 32% of its rent.
A Bad Casino Year Rarely Means Missed Rent GLPI’s master leases ran from 158 to 246 (1.58x to 2.46x) in Q2, so tenants earn well over a dollar for every dollar of rent owed. Executive Carlo Santarelli said:
“We’ve always been somewhat cautious around two times rent coverage from the time we spun out in 2013.”
MGM Resorts shows how this works. Its Adjusted EBITDA fell to $610.39 million from $647.51 million, yet VICI’s MGM Master Lease brought in $185.78 million that quarter.
Carlino says “the gaming revenues are bulletproof,” but the dividend history says something else. When casinos shut in 2020, the payout fell to $0.12 before it recovered to $0.72. More recently, the credit loss provision dropped to $2.98 million from $53.7 million a year earlier.
Verdict: Safe, With One Number to Watch The dividend is safe. AFFO covers it with a real buffer, leverage is 4.8x, and guidance was raised to $4.10 to $4.12. Only a 2020-scale shutdown has forced a cut. Watch the Amended Pinnacle Master Lease coverage, now at 1.70x. If it slips toward 1.5x, the margin of safety shrinks.

Applied Optoelectronics očekává ve třetím čtvrtletí tržby ve výši 255 až 290 mil. USD; analytik Mike Genovese ze společnosti Rosenblatt ponechává doporučení Buy a cílovou cenu 220 USD.
Applied Optoelectronics has shed more than half its peak value in six months, weighed down by repeated share sales and a memory shortage that blindsided the market, yet one analyst still sees the stock doubling from here and has the…

Applied Optoelectronics (NASDAQ:AAOI) currently trades at $105.90, and the average analyst price target is $163.40. That leaves an implied upside of 54.3%.
The Texas company makes optical transceivers. Its 400G, 800G and 1.6T transceivers move data between AI servers, and it also sells 1.8 GHz CATV amplifiers to cable operators. Last quarter, revenue rose 86.4% to $191.92 million, its fifth straight record.
One analyst sees far more upside than the consensus. Mike Genovese at Rosenblatt Securities has a Buy rating and a Street-high $220.00 target, which implies 107.7% upside, about a double.
Repeated Share Sales Erased Half of the Rally Dilution weighed on the stock. The company filed a $600 million at-the-market offering, its third major equity raise of 2026, and the stock fell 13.77% in one session. Shares are now 54.7% below their 52-week high of $233.67 and about 29.7% lower over six months.
A memory shortage cut third-quarter revenue by $20 million to $25 million. Analysts made six downward revisions to EPS, with the average falling from $0.2783 to $0.1433. In the 30 days after the second-quarter report, the stock fell 20.42% while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) fell 1.4%.
Why Rosenblatt Still Expects a Double Genovese’s case rests on several factors. These include an 800G and 1.6T super-cycle, design wins at hyperscale customers, and a mix shift toward higher-margin data center products. Management guided third-quarter revenue to $255M–$290M, which it called 130% growth at the midpoint, and expects 800G revenue to grow nearly five times sequentially.
Next comes 1.6T. It has more than $200 million of orders in hand. It expects more than $17 million of 1.6T revenue in the fourth quarter and monthly capacity above 930,000 pieces by year-end. Responding to Genovese on the call, the CEO said that without the 100G drag, fourth-quarter capacity could support “more than $500 million of revenue.”
Margins are the other factor. Non-GAAP gross margin was 29.8%, and management is targeting about 40%. Consensus EPS is expected to rise from $0.68 in 2026 to $4.602 in 2027.
Coverage is thin. Of six analysts, two rate the stock Strong Buy, one Buy and three Hold. The 2026 EPS average has fallen from $0.8883, and the top 10 customers account for 99% of revenue.
Coherent and Fabrinet Are Also Down Sharply From Their Highs Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ:LITE | LITE Price Prediction) trades at $1,048.60, up 184.49% this year, with an $1,161.96 average target implying 10.8% upside.
Coherent (NYSE:COHR) trades at $302.38, 31.3% below its high, with a $412.52 target implying 36.4% upside.
Fabrinet (NYSE:FN) trades at $487.75, 34.9% below its high but up 17.06% last month, with a $734.11 target implying 50.5% upside.
Applied Optoelectronics has the largest consensus upside in the group, with Fabrinet close behind, and it also has the least coverage and is the only one still posting GAAP losses.
Triple-Digit Gains This Year, but Momentum Has Faded At $105.90, the stock trades below the six-analyst average target of $163.40, which implies 54.3% upside. It is still up 203.79% year to date, compared with 13.49% for the S&P 500.
Over the past month, the stock fell 5.06% while the index gained 1.04%. With a beta of 3.843 and a forward P/E of 84x, it has typically moved harder than the market in both directions.
Third-Quarter Report Must Prove 1.6T Is Shipping The outlook looks better if the third-quarter report shows 800G volume rising and confirms 1.6T shipments have started, setting up a fourth quarter well above the $427 million consensus. That is the path to $163 and eventually to $220.
The thesis weakens if the company sells more stock, gross margin stays stuck near 30%, or one of its three customers above 10% of revenue reduces orders.
Demand is real, but share sales keep diluting existing holders, and the gap closes only once 1.6T revenue shows up in reported numbers.

I've owned shares of Amazon (AMZN -2.25%) over the years and added to my position earlier this year after the valuation of the cloud computing and e-commerce leader plummeted.
It just seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, with its price-to-earnings ratio dropping into the mid-20s. On top of that, it seemed that its huge investments in AI, which scared some investors away, would pay off. The record $220 billion in capital expenditures was not made in anticipation of higher demand for AI cloud computing; it was required to meet the demand that was already there.

That started to show in the second-quarter earnings report, as Amazon saw revenue grow 20%, its fastest growth in more than four years. That was boosted by 37% revenue growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS), its fastest growth in 18 quarters.
And this growth spurt doesn't appear to be slowing, as Amazon has an overflowing pipeline. The company has a backlog of $496 billion in AWS contracts that haven't been executed yet, up from $364 billion after Q1 and $244 billion at the start of 2026.
So, it looked like a good buy to me earlier this year, and it might be an even better buy now.
Buy the dip Despite its surging revenue and huge backlog, Amazon's stock is cheaper now than it was at the start of the year.
It is trading at just 20 times earnings and 23 times forward earnings. That is the lowest P/E ratio for Amazon, other than a dip to 19 in June, that Amazon stock has seen in at least a decade.
Shares are up 11% year to date, but they have dropped since peaking at an all-time high of $284 per share following the second-quarter earnings run-up. Since then, the price has dropped about 10% to around $256 per share.

That next day, Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos sold about 15 million shares, or $4 billion worth of Amazon stock, taking profits after the all-time high. That accounted for some of the pullback. There have also been concerns about its negative free cash flow. On the Q2 call, CEO Andy Jassy said the capital spending will cause free cash flow headwinds until the data centers come online.
Also, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 22 states filed a lawsuit against Amazon in late August over alleged unfair digital ad charges, which weighed on the stock.
Over the past five years, Amazon's stock has averaged a modest 10% annualized return. But five years ago, it was trading at 64 times earnings. Now, Amazon is trading at a near-decade-low valuation, with a huge and growing backlog and plans to build out the infrastructure to support it.
It's hard to predict what will happen, but it appears to be in a better position than most other "Magnificent Seven" stocks to grow over the next five years. Even a 15% annualized return over the next five years would turn a $10,000 investment into about $30,000, with $100 contributed every month.
