Akcie Shopify uzavřely na rekordní hodnotě 179,22 USD, přestože objednávky generované AI zatím tvoří jen malou část celkového objemu. Tržby za 12 měsíců končících v červnu vzrostly na 13,3 mld. USD.
Shopify (SHOP -1.51%) stock closed at $179.22 on Monday, its first record close in nearly a year. But the margin was small -- just 21 cents over the e-commerce software company's prior best of $179.01, set on Oct. 29, 2025.
Plenty happened between the two closes. The growth stock shed nearly half its value by mid-May, closing as low as about $95, and it's gained about 88% since then. As I write this, shares trade right around Monday's level.
That means investors buying now pay almost exactly what buyers paid at the last record. What they get for that price, though, has changed.

The record came without new resultsMonday's rise of nearly 5% capped a climb of around 18% over just six trading days. But it didn't come with any new numbers from Shopify. The company hasn't released financial results since Aug. 5, and its next report isn't due until Nov. 3.
Instead, shares seemed to get a boost from positive Wall Street comments on artificial intelligence (AI) shopping agents. They're programs that can find and buy items on a shopper's behalf. Shopify has spent this year making its merchants' products available to those agents, and AI-driven orders to Shopify stores in the second quarter were triple the year-ago level.
But management itself has been careful about how much this means so far.
"[W]hile the volume from agentic commerce is still small relative to our massive [gross merchandise volume], the growth trends are impressive," Shopify president Harley Finkelstein said on Shopify's second-quarter earnings call.
Put another way, the excitement that helped drive shares to a record is about a channel that still makes up a small slice of the sales on Shopify's platform. I think the stronger case for the stock is in the numbers the company has already released.
A bigger businessShowing how much Shopify has grown between those two records, its revenue in the 12 months through June was around $13.3 billion, up about a third from the 12 months before that. And growth has accelerated along the way. Year-over-year revenue growth over the past four quarters was 32%, 31%, 34%, and 34%. Management's guidance calls for growth in the low 30s again in the third quarter. For a business this big, holding above 30% for more than a year is impressive.
Profits are climbing even faster. Second-quarter operating income surged 68% year over year to $488 million, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations minus capital spending) rose 55% to $654 million. That was 18% of revenue, up from 16% a year earlier, but an accounting change boosted the latest quarter's free cash flow by $37 million.
In the trailing 12 months, free cash flow totaled almost $2.4 billion -- around 29% higher than Shopify had posted at this time last year.
Plus, Shopify's board raised the company's share buyback authorization to $5 billion in June.
Still too expensive?This all makes the stock cheaper than it was the last time it closed at this price. At the October 2025 record, Shopify's market cap was around 128 times its trailing-12-month free cash flow. Now, with a market cap of about $230 billion, it's about 98 times free cash flow. The stock's forward price-to-earnings ratio (its price versus next year's expected earnings) is around 73.
But that doesn't make the stock cheap. A price of 98 times free cash flow arguably assumes years of fast growth. Even if Shopify's free cash flow rose 30% annually for three more years, today's market cap would still be around 45 times that bigger free cash flow number.

After the October 2025 record close, shares dropped about 47% in a bit over six months, even though Shopify's revenue growth never slipped below 31% in that time. A stock this pricey might fall hard again even if the business keeps doing OK.
Also, management expects third-quarter gross profit to grow in the mid-to-high 20s. That's slower than revenue, mostly because lower-margin payments revenue keeps outgrowing subscriptions.
In the end, Shopify is a great business, and at around $179 a share it's arguably a better value than it was the last time it traded here. But I don't think even growth in the low 30s justifies paying 98 times free cash flow. For now, I think the stock is still too expensive to buy.

Elon Musk souhlasil s názorem, že GTA VI od společnosti Take-Two, jejíž vývoj může stát až 2 mld. USD, by mohlo být kvůli rozvoji AI „labutí písní“ éry velkých herních studií.
Last week, Nikita Bier wanted an AI to build him his own “Grand Theft Auto.” Now he’s writing the franchise’s eulogy.
Late Monday, Bier posted on X that “There’s something beautiful about the most expensive game of all time ($2B) being dropped the same month that AI models became capable of creating comparable experiences.”
He closed with “The swan song for the Big Studio Era.” Elon Musk replied with one word: “Yeah.”
The target is the business model at Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO), which launches “Grand Theft Auto VI” on Nov. 19. Shares closed down 4.07% at $200.32 Tuesday afternoon, per Benzinga Pro market data.
The $2 Billion BetBier used the high end of the estimates. Axios has reported that the game cost $2 billion to develop. Fortune, citing industry analysts, put it between $1 billion and $1.5 billion. Take-Two declined to confirm a number, and CEO Strauss Zelnick would only say the game “was expensive."
Take-Two spent roughly a decade building one game while AI tools shrink the time it takes to make one. Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Labs launched Playground last week, a no-code platform for making games with AI.

Zelnick Isn’t Buying ItZelnick has been one of the industry’s loudest AI skeptics.
“There is no creativity that can exist by definition in any AI model, because it is data-driven,” he said at a CNBC event last October. He added that AI output would be “pretty derivative.”
AI-built games still have limits and most are remakes of existing titles because models rely on past footage, and hobbyists don’t have the resources to build anything as big as GTA VI. Developer Matt Shumer still expects small teams directing AI agents to eventually build games on that scale, Axios reported.
Pre-Orders vs. PromptsSo far, demand looks fine. “The level of pre-orders is unprecedented and astonishing, but they are so unprecedented that we just don’t know how it’ll translate into sales,” Zelnick said in August, per Reuters.
Newzoo estimated global pre-orders at $260 million, which points to as much as $4.5 billion in sales by launch week, according to CNBC. Take-Two still kept its fiscal 2027 bookings forecast at $8 billion to $8.2 billion, below the $8.86 billion analysts expected.
The ChartTake-Two stock closed 2025 at $256.03. At $201.85, the stock is down about 21% this year and almost 22% below its July 6 closing high of $258.41. Most of the drop came in the past three months, with shares down about 17% from $244.10 in mid-July.
The chart below shows the one-year performance of TTWO stock:
TakeTwo’s slide has picked up into GTA’s November launch. The stock has lost about 7% in the past month and trades below both its 50-day moving average of $220.97 and its 200-day average of $223.14, per Benzinga Pro data.
Tuesday’s volume shows the selling is real. More than 5.2 million shares changed hands in the session, more than double the average of about 2.4 million. The next support level is the March 27 closing low of $189.69, about 6% below the current price. The 52-week intraday low is $187.63.

Proti společnosti Hyliion Holdings byla podána hromadná žaloba kvůli údajným zavádějícím tvrzením o partnerství s VFG Holdings a tržním potenciálu datových center.
Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE American: HYLN) between May 12, 2026 and June 23, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important October 27, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
So what: If you purchased Hyliion securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
What to do next: To join the Hyliion class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/hyliion-holdings-corp/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 27, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or omitted material facts concerning the credibility of its announced commercial pipeline, notably, the basis for management's confidence in its VFG Holdings ("VFG") partnership and the extent of Hyliion's evaluation of VFG's operational capabilities, financial resources, and ability to perform before announcing the "new data center partnership" as a significant commercial opportunity. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Britain plans to make online marketplaces including Amazon (AMZN.O), eBay (EBAY.O) and Temu responsible for collecting tax owed by retailers selling on their platforms, The Times reported on Tuesday.
Finance Minister John Healey is expected to announce the measure as part of a crackdown on foreign sellers that avoid value-added tax, a move expected to raise up to £1 billion ($1.33 billion) and help fund business rate cuts for physical stores, the newspaper said.
The move comes as traditional British retailers have stepped up calls for action against overseas online sellers, arguing that tax and customs loopholes give them an unfair advantage
Healey said in June Britain will scrap customs duty relief on low-value imports from October 2028 targeting a tax loophole that benefits online retailers such as China's Shein
The Treasury declined to comment on The Times report, saying decisions on tax are a matter for Healey to set out at fiscal events. Amazon, eBay, and Temu did not immediately respond to requests for comment
The newspaper said online marketplaces would be required to collect VAT at source for business sellers with annual turnover above £90,000
Amazon welcomed the proposal, according to The Times, and estimated the change could raise about £700 million for the Treasury
Ministers are understood to have looked at plans for a warehouse tax but rejected them, the report said
Healey, who took office in July, is due to deliver his first budget on October 28
Hongkongský systém zúčtování zlata a plánované futures kontrakty v RMB posilují internacionalizaci čínského jüanu. PBOC letos zvýšila oficiální zlaté rezervy o 80 tun.
The Chinese government has tried to internationalize the yuan and raise its stature as a global currency for decades. Hong Kong's ascension as a prominent yuan-denominated gold trading hub is giving that effort a big boost.
S&P Global Ratings managing director Charles Chang told CNBC that Hong Kong's evolution as a gold trading center and the ensuing elevation of the yuan's status could ultimately undercut the dollar.
“As those trading volumes grow, there would be a growing volume of the physical gold trade that is denominated in RMB and not linked in USD.”
Chang said the biggest challenge to internationalizing the yuan is finding places to use it. Hong Kong’s rapidly developing gold-trading platform coupled with Beijing’s aggressive gold buying creates such an avenue.
“In terms of gold particularly, if the RMB that the buyer receives can be converted to gold, then it gives more channels for the spending to be done.”
Hong Kong's quest to become a global gold hub
Earlier this summer, Hong Kong launched trial operations of a gold clearing and settlement system, putting the region in a position to challenge Western dominance of the global gold market.
The government-owned clearing system reportedly “mirrors” the financial infrastructure used by the LBMA in London.
When unveiling the system, Hong Kong Precious Metals Central Clearing Company CEO John Lee Ka-chiue said the company will offer “a comprehensive suite of services ranging from gold deposits and withdrawals to transaction settlements in the over-the-counter market in Hong Kong,” adding that a new gold price ticker – HAU – would be introduced to “ensure that Hong Kong gold prices are fully accessible to global market participants.”
To facilitate the clearing system, the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) opened its first offshore gold delivery vault in Hong Kong.
At the time, Secretary for Financial Services & the Treasury Christopher Hui said that the SGE's decision to establish its first International Board certified vault in the special administrative region “offers international investors an option for delivering gold offshore, marking a key stride in the internationalization of the country's gold market, extending the global footprint of renminbi-denominated gold trading, and further strengthening Hong Kong's role in the regional market.”
Over the next three years, Hong Kong plans to expand its gold vaulting capacity from 150 to over 2,000 tonnes.
“If Hong Kong can complete this transaction, then it would become one of the largest gold trading centers in the world,” Chang said.
Last month, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) announced plans to launch a yuan-denominated gold futures contract early next year.
According to the South China Morning Post, the move aims to advance two priorities outlined in the city’s five-year plan announced last week:
Promoting yuan internationalizationDeveloping Hong Kong’s gold marketChinese central bank Gold buying also boosts YuanMeanwhile, the People’s Bank of China continues the aggressive expansion of its gold reserves.
The Chinese central bank has reported an increase in its official gold reserves for 23 straight months, including a 23-tonne addition to its official holdings in September. This followed 20-tonne purchases in July and August.
Year-to-date, the People’s Bank of China has reported 80 additional tonnes added to its gold holdings.
And the Chinese have bought a lot more gold than that. According to data parsed by the renowned Money Metals researcher, the Chinese central bank currently sits on more than 5,000 tonnes of monetary gold in Beijing – more than TWICE what Chinese officials publicly admit.
Guotai Junan International chief economist Hau Zhou said this consistent gold buying “reinforces the credibility of the renminbi’s internationalization drive.”
“By steadily increasing gold reserves, Beijing is strengthening the long-term backing of its financial system and reducing reliance on dollar-denominated reserve assets. While gold alone will not determine the RMB’s global role, it enhances confidence in the currency and supports broader efforts to expand its use in trade, investment and official reserves.”
Nanhua Futures head of precious metals and new energy research Xia Yingying said gold accumulation by China and other central banks will “reduce global reliance” on U.S. Treasuries and dollar reserves.
“In the medium to long term, it will gradually weaken the U.S. dollar’s monopolistic position in the global reserve system.”
A problem for the U.S.While the dollar won’t likely fall from its perch as a global reserve currency, even modest de-dollarization is problematic for the United States.
The U.S. depends on global demand for dollars.
The greenback’s role as the world's reserve currency is the only reason the U.S. can borrow, spend, and run massive budget deficits to the extent it does. It creates a built-in global demand for dollars and dollar-denominated assets. This absorbs the Federal Reserve’s money creation and helps maintain dollar strength despite the Federal Reserve’s inflationary policies.
A de-dollarization of the world economy could cause a dollar glut. The U.S. currency could further depreciate. At the extreme, global de-dollarization could spark a currency crisis. You and I would feel the impact through higher price inflation, eating away at the dollar's purchasing power. In the worst-case scenario, it could lead to hyperinflation.

Sui Network has passed 5 billion total transactions, with the count at 5.02 billion. Here is what the milestone says about $SUI and Layer 1 scalability.
The @SuiNetwork has passed 5 billion total transactions, a milestone for the Layer 1 blockchain developed by @Mysten_Labs. The cumulative count currently stands at 5.02 billion, and network traction has grown in recent weeks and months.
How Sui reached 5 billion transactionsThe milestone follows a steady climb. In July, Sui crossed 4.5 billion cumulative transactions, according to data from analytics platform Chainspect cited by Cointrust. By September, Chainspect data showed the network had processed about 4.8 billion transactions, with a seven-day average of around 80.3 transactions per second, KuCoin News reported.
Cumulative transaction counts include all activity since mainnet launch, covering token transfers, smart contract executions and decentralized application usage. Sui's mainnet went live in May 2023, according to Oak Research, meaning the network reached 5 billion transactions in a little over three years.
Transaction totals need careful reading. Bitcoinist noted that automated transactions can inflate totals, and that investors will want to see whether activity lines up with total value locked, stablecoin usage and real application demand. Larger and more established networks such as Ethereum and Solana have processed significantly higher totals over longer periods, as Cointrust has noted.
Scalability is the core of the $SUI pitchSui's scalability rests largely on its architecture. According to Oak Research, the Mysticeti consensus upgrade went live on mainnet in July 2024 and was designed to cut latency sharply. Sui's own engineering blog says Mysticeti is the consensus protocol that powers Sui, with a later v2 release aimed at faster and lighter transaction processing.
Sui also uses parallel transaction execution and an object-centric data model, which are designed to deliver high throughput and low latency for decentralized applications.
For $SUI holders and developers, the 5 billion mark is a usage signal rather than a price catalyst. The next test is whether growing transaction volume translates into lasting economic activity across DeFi, gaming and stablecoin applications on the network.

Chemours offers a range of industrial and specialty chemical products for markets including, as relevant here, refrigeration and air conditioning. Chemours reports financial results from its sales of such products, including Opteon™, a set of refrigeration chemicals with a “near-zero ozone-depletion footprint”, in its Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment.
In December 2020, the U.S. Congress enacted the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act (“U.S. AIM Act”), which directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce the human impact on climate change by overseeing the transition to alternative refrigerants that present a lesser impact to the ozone layer than legacy refrigerants.
At all relevant times, Defendants represented to investors that “[g]rowth in our Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment is supported in part by the adoption of the [U.S. AIM Act] in the U.S.”
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had materially overstated aftermarket demand for their Opteon products; (ii) demand for such products was decreasing as a result of Defendants’ overselling Opteon products in the preceding fiscal year; (iii) as a result of these undisclosed issues, Defendants’ financial guidance for the 2026 fiscal year was unreliable; and (iv) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 4, 2026, after market hours, Chemours announced second quarter 2026 financial results. Among other things, the Company reduced its adjusted EBITDA full-year guidance to $775 million to $825 million (from $800 million to $900 million previously). Further, in the accompanying earnings call, management admitted that “[a]s a result of the initial channel fill, aftermarket customers built additional inventory, creating an oversupplied channel heading into 2026.” Management further disclosed “from the Q2 and Q3 perspective, there’s probably about $65 million of aftermarket sales that realistically, you think about like-for-like probably should have been allocated to more of this year.”
On this news, Chemours’s stock price fell $3.34 per share, or 18.63%, to close at $14.59 per share on August 5, 2026.

Following successful initial deployment, the customer is expected to place follow-on orders for the program in the second half of 2027 and beyond.
“Drone makers need high-performance batteries from a qualified, non-Chinese source now, and this order shows Enovix can deliver,” said Steve Bakos, Chief Revenue Officer and General Manager of Enovix. “It confirms that our technology performs in demanding applications and that our TAA-compliant, in-house manufacturing has real value to customers who need a secure source of supply.”
The order moves one opportunity from the approximately $216 million drone, defense and industrial pipeline Enovix reported on October 12, 2026 into backlog, and is among the Q4’26 purchase orders referenced in that release. The Company expects additional pipeline opportunities to convert into purchase orders in the coming quarters.

New Live Roller Belt Replaces Conventional Fabric Construction With A More Durable Polyurethane Design to Help Reduce Maintenance and Downtime
, /PRNewswire/ -- Gates Industrial Corporation Ltd. (NYSE: GTES), a global manufacturer of innovative, highly engineered power transmission and fluid power solutions, today announced the launch of Gates IntraLogix™ LRB-100, a new live roller belt for conveyor systems used in warehouse and distribution center operations. Live roller belts are used in highly automated conveyor solutions and drive the rollers that carry packages, cartons and other goods. Gates LRB-100 replaces conventional fabric belt construction with a homogeneous polyurethane design that helps eliminate V-guide delamination, supporting longer belt life, reduced maintenance and greater uptime for operators.
Gates IntraLogix™ LRB-100
Warehouse automation is a growing market for engineered belt solutions as e-commerce volumes rise, and operators invest in faster, more reliable fulfillment. Conveyors run at high speed and near-continuous duty in these applications, so a belt issue can slow down an entire operation. LRB-100 reflects a deliberate Gates strategy of applying its materials science and engineering expertise to high-growth, automation-driven end markets.
In testing against conventional belt designs, LRB-100 delivered:
More than five times longer belt life: Reduces replacements, downtime and total ownership costs.
Approximately 75% less elongation: Helps the belt maintain proper tension longer, reducing retensioning downtime and supporting more consistent around-the-clock operations.
Roughly 80% greater abrasion resistance: Extends belt life in demanding warehouse environments.
Approximately 24% greater weld strength than other belts used on accumulating roller pneumatic (ARP) conveyance systems.
On average, 73% lower drive tensions: Reduces system stress while supporting longer equipment life.
"Increased levels of automation are raising the bar for every component on the conveyor line, and that creates meaningful opportunity for Gates to differentiate," said Mike Haen, vice president of global product line management and marketing at Gates. "With LRB-100, we tackled delamination, a common cause of conveyor downtime, with a belt built from a single material. It's a prime example of how we're leveraging materials science know-how with application expertise to create innovation that matters in fast-growing markets."
LRB-100 joins LRB-45 and LRB-77 in the growing Gates IntraLogix portfolio. It is now available in the United States, with international availability to follow. To learn more, visit the IntraLogix LRB-100 Innovations Page and browse the IntraLogix Conveyance Belt Solutions Page.

What's wrong with Joby Aviation (JOBY -3.70%) stock? That's the question many investors are likely asking right now, with the stock plummeting more than 60% already in 2026. Last year, the stock was soaring, and there was plenty of optimism surrounding its future.
Today, however, investors appear to be much more cautious around the company, which hopes to one day be a leader in the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) market. It hasn't obtained approval for its air taxi yet, but it has been making progress.
Joby's stock hit a new 52-week low on Tuesday, falling to less than $5. Given its promising growth potential, is it a no-brainer buy at this price point?
Image source: Getty Images.
Have investors gotten frustrated?Joby has been nearing FAA certification for its air taxi, but investors have been left waiting. Earlier this year, the company announced it had been selected as a partner for the White House's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), which the company hoped may have "the potential to significantly accelerate Joby's path to commercial service."
When the company released its most recent quarterly results in August, it stated it was in the final stage of FAA Type Certification. Despite all the test flights and progress, investors may be discouraged that the company has not yet launched commercial operations at this point. It has been demonstrating the effectiveness of its air taxis with test flights, but alas, investors may be eagerly awaiting the green light for when commercial operations actually commence.

Could Joby's stock take off before the end of 2026?Joby's stock is now trading around multi-year lows, levels it has been at since 2024. At a market cap of around $5 billion, it could make for an intriguing investment right now, given the potential for it to soar if its aircraft obtains approval from regulators, hopefully before the end of the year -- but that's by no means a guarantee.
Its inclusion in the eIPP should, however, give investors reason for some cautious optimism that Joby will inevitably commence operations. While there's no certainty as to when that might happen, once it does, the excitement around the stock could return, potentially making Joby a hot buy again.
Unfortunately, there's still a lot of risk with Joby's stock, because while it may have some enticing growth opportunities ahead, even if it does commence commercial operations, it may still be a long time before it has a path to profitability and is generating significant revenue.
For investors who are willing to be patient and who are comfortable with the risk, it may be worth buying. But for more risk-averse investors, this may be a stock more suitable to put on a watch list.
GBP/USD Bounce in Focus as USD/CAD and GBP/CAD Offer Clues
Markets are eagerly awaiting September’s US inflation figures later today. Naturally, inflation is expected to heat up given the rise in crude oil prices amid renewed tensions in the Middle East. But with the US dollar already rallying to recent cycle highs on hawkish Fed bets, CPI may need to exceed elevated expectations to justify further gains.
This generally creates a ‘for or against the USD’ environment for FX majors, as correlations strengthen and price action becomes increasingly driven by the US dollar. But among the FX majors, GBP/USD has caught my eye for a potential bounce, given the price action clues from USD/CAD and GBP/CAD.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis: US Dollar vs Canadian Dollar
The daily chart shows a strong rally from the September low to last week’s high, delivered in a remarkably straight line. Yet with no meaningful pullback so far, and signs of a shakeout emerging ahead of US inflation data, USD/CAD may finally be primed for a retracement.
USD/CAD has traded within a volatile, sideways range of around 100 pips, with Tuesday’s bearish engulfing candle being the most volatile of the range. Combined with bearish divergences on the daily RSI (2) and RSI (14), both in overbought territory, it might not take much of a CPI miss for bears to retain control.
Note that the 2025 high, weekly S2 pivot and 20-day EMA converge around 1.4500, making this a potential downside target for bears during the anticipated retracement.
USD/CAD Outlook: Bears Eye Break Below Range Support
However, the 4-hour chart shows the weekly S1 pivot providing support near the range lows for now. And with US CPI looming, the dollar could attract a last-minute bid ahead of the release, allowing for some bullish mean reversion within the range.
But while prices remain within the range and below its high, the near-term bias favours a downside break towards the 1.4150 support cluster.
Source: ICE, TradingView
GBP/CAD Technical Analysis: British Pound vs Canadian Dollar
Granted, price action is a little messy on the daily chart – but GBP/CAD retains a bullish structure overall. The weekly chart shows the uptrend recently found support around the 50-week EMA with a spike low, while momentum has since broken higher from a bearish corrective channel.
That said, a rickshaw doji formed last week, and prices are now retracing against the bullish range expansion candle. Though with several support levels nearby, I am seeking evidence of a swing low on the daily chart.
GBP/CAD has formed a two-day pullback within Friday’s bullish range, while holding above the 10- and 20-day EMAs for now. The monthly pivot point sits just above 1.8800, so I’m waiting for bullish momentum to return, potentially paving the way for a move towards monthly R1 at 1.8966 or the 1.9000 handle.
Source: ICE, TradingView
GBP/USD Technical Analysis: British Pound vs US Dollar
Interestingly, if my assumptions of a pullback in USD/CAD and a rebound in GBP/CAD prove correct, it should bode well for GBP/USD. And the fact that Cable has now produced two rickshaw dojis on the weekly chart near the bottom of its range, around the 1.3200 handle, also supports my hunch for a bounce.
The daily chart shows a volatile shakeout over the past 13 days. Much like a dog violently shaking a toy to wrestle it from someone's hand, markets can behave in a similar way before finally breaking free. Given we're seeing a volatile shakeout near range lows while support levels continue to hold, my assumption is that GBP/USD could be preparing for a bounce.
Tuesday's bullish engulfing candle could provide the trigger, particularly if today's US CPI report allows the dollar to pull back from its recent rally.

Proti společnosti AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) byla podána kolektivní žaloba kvůli údajným zavádějícím informacím o kapitálu, likviditě a konkurenceschopnosti na trhu satelitního přímého připojení k mobilním zařízením.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (“AST” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASTS) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Midland-Odessa Division, and docketed under 26-cv-00378, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired AST securities between March 4, 2025 and July 15, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired AST securities during the Class Period, you have until November 13, 2026 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980.

AST, together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops the constellation of BlueBird satellites in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company provides a cellular broadband network in space for direct access by smartphones for commercial use and other applications, as well as for government use. In addition, its SpaceMobile service provides cellular broadband services to end-users who are out of terrestrial cellular coverage.
At all relevant times, Defendants touted AST’s purportedly unique competitive advantages and leadership position in the satellite direct-to-cellular (“D2C”) market. In particular, throughout the Class Period, Defendants touted AST’s business and financial prospects as purportedly the only established space-based cellular broadband network for mobile phones.
Defendants’ assurances regarding AST’s purportedly durable competitive position in the satellite D2C market came into question in September 2025, when American telecommunications company EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with SpaceX, an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company, to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses (the “EchoStar Transaction”). In connection with the EchoStar Transaction, SpaceX and EchoStar agreed to enter into a long-term commercial agreement, enabling EchoStar’s Boost Mobile subscribers—through its cloud-native 5G core—to access SpaceX’s next generation D2C service provided by its telecommunications subsidiary Starlink Services, LLC (“Starlink”).
SpaceX commands a dominant position in the global aerospace and orbital launch industry, with the ability to produce and launch numerous satellites at scale. Its subsidiary Starlink provides a broadband internet satellite constellation that accounts for roughly 54% of all active satellites in Earth’s orbit, with approximately 9,821 Starlink satellites currently active in low Earth orbit. Viewed in combination with its considerable resources, SpaceX’s entry into the satellite D2C market was potentially a threat to AST’s commercial aspirations.
Following the EchoStar Transaction, however, Defendants continued to assure investors and the market that AST remained in a competitive class of its own, with the Company poised to realize significant revenues and profits in the near-term. Likewise, Defendants continuously represented that AST’s capital and liquidity position was sufficient to meet its strategic and business goals at all relevant times, notwithstanding the heightened competitive pressures it faced following the EchoStar Transaction.
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) AST’s increasing capital requirements were likely to increase the Company’s debt load and share dilution with greater frequency and at greater scale than Defendants had signaled to investors; (ii) accordingly, Defendants had overstated the sufficiency of AST’s capital and liquidity position to achieve its strategic and business goals; (iii) Defendants likewise overstated the durability of AST’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (iv) even following the EchoStar Transaction, Defendants continued overstating AST’s competitive position in the satellite D2C market; (v) AST was experiencing slow user adoption in the U.S. and Japan; (vi) the foregoing was likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company’s business and financial prospects; and (vii) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
The truth began to emerge on September 8, 2025, when UBS issued a report downgrading AST to a “Neutral” from “Buy” recommendation, as well as cutting its price target on the Company to $43.00 from $62.00, mainly citing heightened competitive pressures related to the EchoStar Transaction, which “fortifies [Starlink’s] position in the space to cellular market and increases risk for AST[] as it drives utilization on its nascent constellation[.]”
Following the release of UBS’s report, AST’s Class A common stock price fell $3.86 per share, or 9.47%, to close at $36.91 per share on September 9, 2025.
On October 21, 2025, AST issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer . . . $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering”, and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” The press release disclosed that AST would use the proceeds from this offering “for general corporate purposes, including without limitation funding the deployment of AST SpaceMobile’s worldwide constellation of satellites in anticipation of adding incremental strategic markets for its SpaceMobile Service.” (Emphasis added.)
Later the same day, AST issued another press release “announc[ing] the pricing of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering”, noting that “[t]he size of the offering has been increased from the previously announced $850.0 million principal amount of Notes”, while reiterating the same intended use for the net proceeds from the offering.
Following these disclosures, AST’s Class A common stock price fell $7.26 per share, or 9.24%, to close at $71.35 per share on October 22, 2025.
On January 6, 2026, Scotiabank issued a report downgrading AST to a “Sell” recommendation, as well as its rating to “Sector Underperform” from “Sector Perform”, citing, inter alia, significant competition from Starlink and “[e]vidence of slow user adoption in the U.S. and Japan[.]”
Following the release of Scotiabank’s report, AST’s Class A common stock price fell $11.76 per share, or 12.06%, to close at $85.73 per share on January 7, 2026.
On February 11, 2026, AST issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer . . . $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering”, and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” The press release disclosed that AST intended to use the proceeds from the offering “for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, accelerating the deployment of our controlled spectrum bands on a global basis, monetizing the capabilities of our proprietary technology to capture the evolving commercial opportunities related to artificial intelligence, enhancing investment in government space opportunities in the U.S., reducing higher interest debt, and pursuing opportunistic investments to accelerate our SpaceMobile Service and capabilities.” (Emphasis added.)
The next day, AST issued another press release announcing the pricing of the foregoing offering at “an initial conversion price of approximately $116.30 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20% to the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on February 11, 2026.”
Following these disclosures, AST’s Class A common stock price fell $14.70 per share, or 15.17%, to close at $82.22 per share on February 12, 2026.
Then, on July 15, 2026, AST issued a press release “announc[ing] its intent to offer” yet another “$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2034 (the ‘Notes’) in a private offering”, and that it “intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.” The press release disclosed that AST intended to use the proceeds from the offering to, inter alia, “pursue an expanding universe of growth initiatives and secure additional access to orbit for its space-based cellular broadband network, including partnerships and/or acquisitions to further vertically integrate its business and mitigate risks associated with third-party launch providers.” (Emphasis added.) The press release further disclosed that the Company “currently does not have any understandings or agreements with respect to any such strategic transactions.” (Emphasis added.)
Later the same day, AST issued another press release announcing the pricing of the foregoing offering. Specifically, “$1.0 billion 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2034 . . . [at] an initial conversion price of approximately $79.57 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on July 15, 2026”, as well as “[c]apped call transactions . . . [at] an initial cap price of $149.20 per share of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 125.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile’s Class A common stock on July 15, 2026.”
Following the foregoing disclosures, AST’s Class A common stock price fell $11.30 per share, or 17.04%, to close at $55.01 per share on July 16, 2026.

Pomerantz vyšetřuje NuScale Power kvůli možnému podvodu s cennými papíry poté, co UBS snížila investiční doporučení na „prodat“. Akcie SMR 11. září klesly o 15,67 % na 8,61 USD.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of NuScale Power Corporation (“NuScale” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SMR). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether NuScale and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
[Click here for information about joining the class action]
On September 11, 2026, UBS downgraded NuScale from “Neutral” to “Sell” and lowered its price target from $10 to $6. UBS analyst Jon Windham opined that NuScale is rapidly losing its “first-mover” advantage in small modular reactor (SMR) technology to faster-moving competitors. UBS also flagged a lengthy five-year build timeline, a critical lack of firm customer commitments, and projected a massive $700 million in negative free cash flow between 2026 and 2028. The report also described stagnating progress regarding NuScale’s key RoPower project in Romania and its partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
On this news, NuScale’s stock price fell $1.60 per share, or 15.67%, to close at $8.61 per share on September 11, 2026.

Shares of clean energy company Oklo (OKLO -1.33%) are down big this year -- 55%. While the stock market has been doing well, Oklo's stock has been going in the opposite direction.
Many growth investors see significant growth potential for Oklo and believe it can benefit from opportunities related to investments in data centers for artificial intelligence (AI), which need reliable power sources. But that optimism appears to have faded, with the stock hitting a new 52-week low on Tuesday, at just above $31, a level it hasn't been at since May of last year.
The growth potential is still there for Oklo, but now its valuation is much lighter, with its market cap at just under $6 billion. Could now be an opportune time to buy this beaten-down energy stock?
Image source: Getty Images.
Oklo's mounting losses make the stock a risky optionIt may be multiple years before Oklo is generating any meaningful revenue, as its Aurora powerhouse at the Idaho National Laboratory is not expected to begin commercial operations until at least late next year. In the meantime, the company is incurring heavy losses and burning through cash.
Its operating loss through the first six months of the year totaled $124.2 million -- more than double the $45.9 million loss it posted during the same period a year ago. The reality is that as the business begins to scale and commences operations, its expenses may increase. As a result, it could take several years before the company may potentially be in a position to turn a profit.
For investors looking to own Oklo's stock, patience is definitely going to be a requirement.

The stock may look cheaper, but it may still not be worth buyingAt $6 billion, Oklo's valuation remains fairly high for a business that's in such an early stage of its development. It highlights just how egregiously overpriced it was beforehand. While it has come down significantly in value, there's still plenty of room for the stock to fall even lower.
Rising interest rates and concerns of an AI bubble may have investors less willing to take risks on AI-related investments. Oklo is among the riskiest options in that regard, as it's largely a speculative buy at this stage.
Oklo may inevitably fall further in the weeks and months ahead. It reaching a new 52-week low is by no means a great buying opportunity. Another 52-week low could, after all, be right around the corner.
This is a stock I'd take a wait-and-see approach with, as it's far too risky an option for most investors to even consider right now.
Společnost Navitas Semiconductor představila 24kW desku, která převádí 800 V stejnosměrného napětí na 12 V s cílovou účinností 97 % pro datová centra Nvidia určená pro AI.
Baird has reiterated its 'outperform' rating on Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ:NVTS), the power chipmaker, arguing that its latest Nvidia collaboration positions it to benefit from a redesign of power systems in artificial intelligence data centres.
Navitas announced a 24-kilowatt power delivery board that converts 800 volts of direct current into 12 volts, targeting 97% efficiency at full load.
The board uses the company’s gallium nitride (GaN) technology and will feature on Nvidia’s MGX partner wall at the Open Compute Project conference this week.
The new design builds on Navitas’s previously announced 20kW board and delivers power density exceeding 2,000 watts per cubic inch.
Its 400mm by 60mm form factor allows integration directly onto the computing motherboard, bringing power conversion closer to graphics processing units (GPUs).
Baird sees the shift towards 800V power architectures as a significant growth opportunity, with hyperscale data centre operators adopting designs intended to support increasingly demanding AI workloads.
The broker expects power semiconductor content in power supply units to increase fivefold as these architectures develop, creating opportunities for gallium nitride in direct-current conversion and silicon carbide in alternating-current conversion.
Navitas’s single-stage design converts 800V directly to 12V, removing intermediate conversion steps and potentially reducing energy losses, board space and system complexity.
The board uses 16 650V gallium nitride field-effect transistors in the company’s latest dual-cooled package.
Baird views the transition as a structural growth opportunity because next-generation AI systems require higher power density and greater efficiency amid constraints on electricity supply.
The broker considers Navitas well positioned to benefit as data centre operators redesign power delivery systems, describing the shares as an attractive entry point for investors seeking exposure to the emerging architecture.

Akcie společnosti Oscar Health za tři měsíce vzrostly o 14,9 %; počet členů meziročně stoupl o 46,2 % na 2,96 milionu a poměr zdravotních nákladů k pojistnému klesl na 75 %.
Key Takeaways Oscar Health shares gained 14.9% in three months, supported by strong membership growth and improved margins.OSCR's membership surged 46.2% to 2.96 million, while its first-half medical loss ratio improved to 75%.Oscar's SG&A ratio fell to 14.7% from 17.2%, aided by technology efficiencies and disciplined cost management. Oscar Health, Inc. (OSCR - Free Report) shares have gained 14.9% in the past three months, outpacing the broader market. The advance has coincided with rapid membership growth, better medical economics and lower administrative expense ratios.
The next test is execution. Oscar must sustain share gains and underwriting discipline while navigating Affordable Care Act (ACA) market contraction, membership cleanup, seasonality and a valuation that already reflects higher expectations.
Oscar's Share Gains Strengthen the Bull CaseOscar ended the second quarter of 2026 with 2.96 million members, up 46.2% year over year. That growth came even as broader ACA membership declined about 12%, indicating substantial share capture in a contracting market.
OSCR's Pricing Discipline Lifts Underwriting QualityOscar's first-half 2026 medical loss ratio improved to 75% from 83% a year earlier. Management attributed the improvement to disciplined pricing, stronger current-year performance and favorable prior-period reserve development.
That mix matters because membership growth is more valuable when medical costs remain controlled. Oscar expects a full-year 2026 medical loss ratio of 81%-82%, implying a higher second-half cadence but still reflecting better economics than the prior-year first half.
Oscar's Tech Leverage Adds Margin SupportThe first-half selling, general and administrative ratio fell to 14.7% from 17.2%. Fixed-cost leverage, disciplined expense management and technology-driven efficiencies helped expenses grow more slowly than the membership base.
Oscar also reported 98.7% first-pass claims accuracy, with most claims processed in under 48 hours. Artificial intelligence initiatives across benefits, billing, claims, clinical care and member support could add further scalability without proportionate headcount growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 EPS represents an increase of 208.3% and 21% respectively.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Oscar's Ratings Back Growth but Momentum Is MixedThe three-month advance can continue if Oscar converts share gains into durable underwriting and operating leverage.
Oscar currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which reflects favorable near-term earnings-estimate revision trends. It also has a VGM Score of A, Growth Score of A and Value Score of B, all favorable readings under the Style Score framework.
The Momentum Score of C is less supportive than an A or B and tempers the picture after the recent price gain. Continued fundamental execution therefore remains important even with a top Zacks Rank and favorable overall Style Scores.
Other Stocks to ConsiderElevance Health, Inc. (ELV - Free Report) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH - Free Report) are two other top-ranked stocks. Both carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings of Elevance Health has moved north in the last 30 days while that for UnitedHealth witnessed no movement in the same time frame.
In terms of share price movement, Elevance Health and UnitedHealth Group have lost 1.1% and 11%, respectively, in the past three months.
Key Takeaways Oscar Health raises its 2026 operating earnings outlook to $500M-$700M, keeping revenue guidance unchanged.OSCR's 1H MLR improves to 75% from 83%, driven by disciplined pricing and favorable utilization.OSCR faces 2%-4% monthly churn in the second half, alongside rising medical costs and enrollment spending. Oscar Health, Inc. (OSCR - Free Report) raised its 2026 earnings from operations outlook to a range of $500 million to $700 million from $250 million to $450 million after a second quarter marked by improved underwriting and expense efficiency. The company kept its 2026 revenue view at $18.7 billion-$19 billion.
The higher profit range shifts the investor debate from growth alone to margin durability. Oscar's pricing, medical loss performance and technology leverage improved sharply, but the second half brings higher churn, seasonal medical costs and open-enrollment spending.
Oscar's Q2 Profitability Resets 2026 Earnings ViewSecond-quarter earnings of $1.10 per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents. Revenues reached $4.9 billion, up 70.4% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA improved to $415.3 million from a $199.4 million loss a year earlier.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 and 2027 EPS represents an increase of 208.3% and 21% respectively.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Premium revenues climbed 70.8% to $4.8 billion, while medical expenses rose 48.6% to $3.8 billion. Oscar raised operating earnings guidance but left its revenue outlook unchanged, leaving the guidance change concentrated in profitability rather than the top line.
OSCR's MLR Improvement Shows Pricing Is WorkingOscar's first-half 2026 medical loss ratio improved to 75% from 83% a year earlier. Management attributed the change to disciplined pricing, stronger current-year performance, favorable utilization and prior-period reserve development.
Not all of the benefit came from current-period performance. Oscar recorded $164 million of favorable prior-period development in the second quarter, including about $160 million from final 2025 risk adjustment, so investors may distinguish recurring pricing gains from items that may not repeat.
Oscar's Tech Platform Is Driving Expense LeverageSelling, general and administrative expenses rose 29.3% year over year to $691.1 million, but the second-quarter ratio fell to a company-low 14.2%. Oscar cited fixed-cost leverage and technology-driven efficiencies as membership expanded.
The claims platform delivered 98.7% first-pass accuracy and processed most claims in under 48 hours. Management expects artificial intelligence initiatives across benefits, billing, claims, clinical care and member support to generate material savings and support further scalability.
OSCR Faces a Tougher Back Half as Churn RisesOscar expects roughly 0.25 million-0.3 million members to be retroactively disenrolled under program-integrity actions. Back-half monthly churn is projected at 2%-4%, while the medical loss ratio is expected to rise sequentially and fourth-quarter administrative spending should increase with open enrollment.
Oscar's Ratings Reinforce the Improved Earnings SetupThe earnings setup is stronger, but the stock's rating picture is not uniformly favorable across styles. Oscar carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), alongside a VGM Score of A, Growth Score of A, Value Score of B and Momentum Score of C.
The Zacks Rank is designed around earnings-estimate revision trends over one to three months. The VGM Score blends value, growth and momentum characteristics, with A and B grades more favorable. OSCR's Growth Score of A and Value Score of B support the composite, while its Momentum Score of C is a comparatively less favorable reading.
Other Stocks to ConsiderElevance Health, Inc. (ELV - Free Report) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH - Free Report) are two other top-ranked stocks. Both carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings of Elevance Health moved north over the last 30 days, while that for UnitedHealth witnessed no movement in the same time frame.

Soud nařídil OpenAI, aby do pěti dnů vydala Applu již shromážděné náborové materiály týkající se bývalých zaměstnanců Applu v rámci žaloby pro porušení obchodního tajemství.
A judge has ruled that Apple will gain expedited access to OpenAI’s hiring materials in the trade secrets-focused lawsuit the iPhone maker filed against OpenAI in July.
Specifically, the court will allow Apple to view documents associated with OpenAI’s interviews with former Apple employees who applied for roles within its consumer hardware and robotics groups ahead of the rumored launch of OpenAI’s first hardware device.
These documents could include interview checklists, guides, instructions, manuals, and scripts, as well as technical presentations and records showing that interview discussions had included references to Apple technology or components.
The court gave OpenAI five days to turn over materials it has already collected and 14 days for any other materials related to this request, agreeing with Apple that these documents should be expedited.
The case comes as OpenAI develops a consumer hardware device that could one day potentially rival the iPhone — or smartphones more generally — if the AI device becomes a central part of consumers’ lives and how they engage with software and services.
In its lawsuit, Apple accused OpenAI of a pattern of theft, which includes direct complaints about former employees using Apple laptops to download confidential material and files that contained information about unannounced technologies, features, and products, including technical specifications, engineering presentations, and proprietary project data.
Apple also said that former Apple employees at OpenAI coached others considering leaving Apple for OpenAI on what information to bring to their interviews, among other allegations.
U.S. District Judge Edward Davila didn’t greenlight all of Apple’s requests for expedited access to OpenAI documents and messages relevant to the case. But he did rule that Apple could access the interview materials, alongside private LINE messages (from a messaging app) between individuals named in the case, including OpenAI employees Chang Liu and Alyssa Peng.
The judge also approved depositions for Liu and Peng, along with a third individual, OpenAI’s chief hardware officer, Tang Yew Tan. All three are former Apple employees.
However, the judge denied Apple’s request to expedite its access to OpenAI’s research and development in specific areas, like metal finishes and power management. He also denied several of Apple’s broader discovery requests, like access to OpenAI’s hardware research or information about what its former employees created while working at OpenAI.
That denial isn’t final, though; the judge left the door open for Apple to narrow its requests and try again.

Microsoft vytvořil Xbox Labs, tým vedený technickým ředitelem Scottem Van Vlietem, který bude testovat nové technologie pro vývoj, portování a hraní her.
Scott Van Vliet, Xbox’s chief technology officer, will lead the new Xbox Labs team. (LinkedIn Photo) Xbox is creating a new team to experiment with technologies that are changing how games are made, ported and played — including some that run counter to how the game industry and its business have traditionally worked.
Microsoft Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced Xbox Labs on Tuesday in a memo to employees, describing it as “a small group of game makers, engineers and scientists whose job is to turn emerging ideas into things our players and developers can experience.”
The group will be led by Scott Van Vliet, Xbox’s chief technology officer since May. Sharma said the team will build in the open and measure success “by whether more people are playing and creating.”
Sharma pointed to recent examples of games being decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never designed for, as well as Windows PC games translated to run on Apple Silicon or inside a web browser. She called these “unmistakably good outcomes for players, even when (and sometimes because) they challenge our existing business models.”
The memo never uses the term AI (or SI), but it frames the effort in part around AI agents.
“Coding became the first major workload for agents because they can write, run, and test software,” Sharma wrote. “Games share many of those same properties.” She said people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing Xbox games, roughly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide.
Sharma came to Xbox in February from Microsoft’s CoreAI division. In her first memo as CEO, she said games would be “crafted by humans, and created with the most innovative technology provided by us,” and pledged not to “flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop.”
In May, she pulled Gaming Copilot from mobile and canceled its console launch, saying Xbox would “retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed.”
Microsoft last month cut 268 roles in Xbox Game Studios and moved work on the next Halo game to Activision. It was the latest round in a reset Sharma announced in July, which called for about 3,200 job cuts by the end of this fiscal year, roughly 20% of the Xbox workforce. The company said at the time that the restructuring was about 75% complete.
Xbox’s priorities aren’t changing, Sharma wrote in her new memo, describing Labs as “a way to explore new technology without abandoning the work already underway.”
Scaleway's proposed Danish site will use HGX B300 systems to serve customers seeking EU-hosted AI capacity. Summary
Copenhagen expands Nvidia’s European distribution without establishing the size or timing of related sales.
Nvidia, the AI-computing and networking supplier NVDA, secured another planned Blackwell deployment through Scaleway's Copenhagen expansion, according to Reuters on October 13. Shares traded at $225.67, down 0.3%, at 10:29 a.m. ET. The project adds another European destination for Nvidia's hardware. But without a disclosed order value or system count, investors have little basis to calculate its contribution to sales.
The hardware packs plenty of muscle. Scaleway selected HGX B300, and Nvidia's documentation specifies eight Blackwell GPUs per baseboard, each carrying 288GB of memory. That totals 2.304TB of GPU memory per baseboard. Those specifications explain the computing capacity of each unit. They do not reveal the size of Scaleway's purchase. For investors, the missing numbers matter more than another impressive specification sheet.
Nvidia's GF Score of 95 out of 100 shows strong profitability and growth, while the weaker GF Value reading makes valuation the clear pressure point. That is the tension here: a powerful business can still carry a demanding price. European demand for locally hosted AI computing could widen Nvidia's customer base, but the next useful evidence is concrete—installation volumes, launch dates and follow-up orders. More deployment locations support the growth story; the dollars will determine how much this project matters.

AT&T prodá společnost AT&T Mexico firmám Grupo Televisa a Fintech Holdings za 2 miliardy USD v hotovosti při uzavření transakce, s výhradou určitých úprav, a za další smluvní a podmíněné přínosy. Transakce by měla být uzavřena v prvním čtvrtletí roku 2027.
The transaction sharpens AT&T's focus on building the strongest fiber and 5G network in the United States
Key Takeaways:
The transaction sharpens AT&T's focus and capital allocation on building the strongest network in the United States through continued investments in fiber and 5G, further aligning its portfolio with its long-term strategy of advanced connectivity and convergence.
AT&T's effort to consolidate and modernize Mexico's second scaled wireless network has well positioned AT&T Mexico for its next phase of growth. These opportunities are best undertaken by a local operator who brings attractive assets to improve the overall customer value proposition.
Transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027; AT&T expects there will be no changes to the experience U.S. consumer and enterprise customers enjoy today.
, /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has reached an agreement to sell AT&T Mexico to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for $2 billion in cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments, plus additional contractual and contingent benefits.
AT&T has made meaningful progress advancing its investment-led strategy in the U.S., where customers increasingly choose AT&T for fast, reliable internet and wireless service. By continuing to prioritize its U.S. fiber and wireless networks, AT&T is engineering the foundation for advanced connectivity that consumers, businesses, and communities need for an AI-enabled future.
"We have articulated a strong belief that the AI future will run on converged networks with dense fiber assets," said John Stankey, AT&T Chairman and CEO. "This move positions AT&T Mexico to participate in that evolution and is consistent with our long-term strategy to focus our capital allocation on opportunities for growth in the vibrant U.S. market."
Since entering Mexico, AT&T's operating expertise has enabled the business to grow into one of the country's leading wireless providers. AT&T believes that Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings are well positioned to lead AT&T Mexico through its next phase of growth. Grupo Televisa has a strong operating presence in Mexico with its fixed-line broadband business, and Fintech Holdings brings fresh capital, local knowledge, and operational expertise in the Mexican wireless sector.
Transaction Timeline
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including any necessary regulatory approvals in Mexico.
Until close, AT&T expects to report AT&T Mexico as held-for-sale in continuing operations, which will be reflected in the Company's third-quarter 2026 10-Q filing with the SEC.

Visa Inc (NYSE:V) stock hit new all-time highs this week, which is great news for investors in the credit card company. The news isn’t so good for Greg Abel, the man who succeeded Warren Buffett as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:BRK)(NYSE:BRK).
Abel Sells Visa Stock EarlyAbel sold off the entire position in Visa stock in the first quarter of 2026, a stock that previously represented the 13th largest position in Berkshire’s investment portfolio at the end of 2025.
Berkshire Hathaway first bought Visa stock in the third quarter of 2011.
Taking the investment portfolio from 42 to 29 positions in the first quarter, Visa was one of many stocks cut in Abel’s first quarter as the CEO of the conglomerate.
Berkshire sold 8,297,460 V shares sometime in the first quarter. The filing does not disclose exactly when or at what price the sale happened; it only has to report which quarter the transaction occurred in.
Visa stock traded between $294.32 and $358.62 in the first quarter and ended the first quarter trading at $302.24 per share.
Based on the quarter’s trading range, the sale would have been between $2,441,278,681.20 and $2,975,635,105.20.
Today, the Visa position, if held, would be worth $3,264,220,764.
This means the Visa position sold in the first quarter cost Berkshire Hathaway $288.59 million to $822.94 million in profits compared with holding it now.

Visa Stake HistoryWhile that sounds like a big miss, Abel has invested in other stocks and increased positions in other winners, which may have offset the losses from selling Visa early.
The Visa position was also a big winner for Berkshire Hathaway and sometimes the best investors take profits before the positions become losers. So in this case, Abel didn’t lose money on the Visa trade; he could have made even more if he’d held.
Berkshire Hathaway disclosed buying 2.29 million Visa shares on Nov. 14, 2011.
Over the years, Berkshire bought Visa stock nine times and sold it six times, according to data from Stock Circle.
This includes the conglomerate adding 573,000 more shares in the fourth quarter of 2011. The conglomerate then sold 2.53 million shares, or 88% of the position, in the first quarter of 2012.
The fund added to the Visa position in subsequent quarters, including a large 7.38 million-share purchase in the first quarter of 2015.
Before the recent sale, Berkshire’s last Visa transaction was selling 1.27 million shares in 2021.
Going back to the initial purchase of 2.29 million Visa shares in the third quarter of 2011. Those shares were bought at an average price between $19.81 and $23.21, adjusted for a 2015 stock split.
The shares were sold in the first quarter of 2026 in a range of $295.52 to $357.56.
This means Berkshire Hathaway made between 1,173.2% and 1,704.9% on its initial Visa shares.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM -0.86%) has built its reputation for stability and strength on its fortress balance sheet.
CEO Jamie Dimon often used that phrase to describe the company during the Global financial crisis of 2008-2009, when JPMorgan Chase stood strong amid the financial meltdown that brought down major banks and businesses.
In Dimon's 2007 letter to shareholders, he wrote, "We operate in risky businesses, and having a fortress balance sheet is a strategic imperative, not a philosophical bent. It is also a critical differentiator for us -- especially in uncertain times."
He then explained that the fortress consists of conservative accounting, strong loan loss reserves, diligent review of assets and liabilities, disciplined reporting and reviews, deep understanding of the margins and returns of each business, recognition of market cyclicality, and continuous analysis to deliver solid returns through the cycle -- not just in good times.
It served JPMorgan Chase well then, as it had market-beating returns and enough capital to essentially acquire two failed banks, Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns.
So, given this unyielding focus on capital strength, JPMorgan Chase is built to return capital to investors through dividends and share repurchases.

16 years of dividend raises JPMorgan Chase has increased its annual dividend every year since the end of the Global financial crisis, including this year, its 16th in a row. In September, it authorized a dividend of $1.65 per share, a 10% increase over the previous quarter.
The bank also authorized a $50 billion share repurchase plan on July 1. This is possible because of that fortress balance sheet, as Dimon explained back in June. "Our fortress balance sheet, with significant excess capital and robust liquidity, enables us to be a pillar of strength, allowing us to consistently serve our clients and communities," he said.
The significant excess refers to its wide capital buffer. The firm has total capital of $303 billion, which translates to a common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.1%. That is well above the Federal Reserve-mandated CET1 ratio requirement of 11.5%. That 2.6% difference represents excess capital beyond what is needed to navigate an extreme economic stress event, like a recession.
So that excess is going to be returned to investors through dividend raises and share buybacks.
Why JPMorgan Chase will boost its dividend in 2027 The Fed's 11.5% CET1 ratio requirement will stay in place until Sept. 30, 2027, so JPMorgan Chase should still have plenty of excess capital to raise its dividend again in 2027.

Another sign of its financial strength and ability to raise its dividend is its payout ratio. The payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid out as dividends. Currently, JPMorgan Chase pays out just 27% of its earnings as dividends, which is lower than most banks and dividend stocks.
But low is good, because it means that the dividend is safe. A high payout ratio, say over 50% or 60%, means the company has less cash at its disposal to raise the dividend.
JPMorgan Chase was one of the few large banks that didn't cut its dividend during the COVID crash. So barring a major economic meltdown, its dividend is in great shape to increase for a 17th straight year in 2027.
United Airlines v roce 2027 zruší možnost získat status na základě počtu letových segmentů; k dosažení nejvyššího statusu Premier 1K bude nově potřeba 32 000 kvalifikačních bodů namísto 28 000.
United Airlines is getting rid of one path to achieve elite status in 2027 and making its top tier harder to reach.
The Chicago-based airline is removing the ability for MileagePlus members to earn status partially based on flight segments flown in a calendar year for 2027. Instead, starting Jan. 1, United will only consider the number of points members earn based on Premier qualifying points earned from eligible flight spending, award travel and eligible United credit card spending.
United announced the change Tuesday in emails to MileagePlus members and on its website. The change aims to simplify how customers earn Premier status, according to the email obtained by CNBC that United sent to members.
Previously, members could gain status in the lowest elite tier, Premier Silver, with a combination of 15 flight segments and 5,000 points earned in a year, or with 6,000 points. Now, customers will only be able to achieve the status through points at the 6,000 point threshold.
The number of Premier qualifying points it will take for members to reach the Premier Gold and Platinum tiers through points will also stay the same as the previous points-only option. However, to reach United's highest rewards tier, Premier 1K, members now need 32,000 qualifying points, up from 28,000 in 2026.
Flyers earn one Premier qualifying point, or PQP, per dollar spent on United base fares and upgrades, and for every 100 miles they redeem for travel on United flights. United Chase cardholders also earn points when they spend money with their card.
MileagePlus members will still have to take at least four flights on United or United Express jets in a year to be eligible for Premier status.
In an interview with travel website The Points Guy, United's President of MileagePlus Jarad Fisher called the flight segments metric an "old relic," saying that the airline "thought it made more sense for them to have one consistent metric ... that they could focus on across the board between their flight activity, their engagement in the airline."
United also announced Tuesday that United cardholders who have Premier status will get a head start by automatically receiving 5% of the points needed to reach the status level they earned the previous year when a new year begins.
United earlier this year overhauled the way travelers earn miles to reward customers holding its credit cards. The carrier also slashed earnings for basic economy flights, following earlier changes to the same practice by American Airlines and Delta Air Lines. United previously upped the thresholds required to earn Premier status in 2024 for the 2025 qualification year.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) ("Brookdale" or the "Company") today announced additional transactions to advance Brookdale's strategy to further increase its real estate ownership and reduce its long-term lease obligations.
Announcement Highlights
Brookdale completed the previously announced acquisition of 17 communities (735 units) for a purchase price of approximately $157 million, eliminating approximately $11 million of annual cash rent in 2027. Brookdale entered into a definitive agreement with Welltower Inc. ("Welltower") to acquire 30 currently leased communities (1,152 units) for a purchase price of $290 million. The Company expects this transaction to reduce 2027 annual cash rent payments by approximately $17.8 million, and the lease would have otherwise matured in 2032. Contingent upon closing the 30-community acquisition, a separate 39-community (1,842 units) cash flow positive lease with Welltower would be extended by four years to June 2036 with 2027 annual cash rent payments of approximately $36.6 million. In connection with the amendment, the lease's existing fair market value purchase option would become exercisable at any time at Brookdale's election, rather than only in connection with the lease's maturity, subject to a floor of a 6.5% yield on in-place rent. "The completed acquisition of 17 communities and the agreement to acquire 30 communities from Welltower together represent another significant step forward in our strategy to own more of the real estate we currently operate. Ownership allows Brookdale to capture the full benefit of future operating growth, while reducing our long-term lease obligations. These transactions are expected to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow," commented Nick Stengle, Brookdale's Chief Executive Officer. He added, "The Welltower lease amendment also will provide valuable flexibility by giving Brookdale the right to exercise a fair market value purchase option at any time during the term of the lease, subject to a pre-negotiated floor."
COMPLETED 17-COMMUNITY PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION
On September 30, Brookdale completed the previously announced acquisition of 17 formerly leased senior living communities for a purchase price of approximately $157 million. The portfolio is comprised of 735 assisted living and memory care units in Colorado, Kansas, Ohio, and Texas. The transaction increases Brookdale's owned share of consolidated units to approximately 77% and eliminates approximately $11 million of annual cash rent in 2027.
The acquisition was funded with cash on hand and $108 million of non-recourse mortgage financing. The debt bears interest at a variable rate based on SOFR plus a margin of 215 basis points and has an initial term of five years with extension options for two additional years.
WELLTOWER PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION
Brookdale recently entered into a definitive agreement with Welltower to acquire the real estate of 30 senior living communities Brookdale currently leases and operates for a purchase price of $290 million. The leased portfolio of 1,152 assisted living and memory care units in 13 states with approximately $17.8 million of annual cash rent for 2027, including approximately $11 million of operating rent and approximately $7 million of financing rent, would have otherwise matured in 2032.
The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, and to be funded with cash on hand and non-recourse mortgage debt. Upon closing, the acquisition will further reduce Brookdale's annual cash rent, increase the Company's consolidated share of owned units to nearly 80%, and is expected to increase Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
WELLTOWER LEASE EXTENSION
Brookdale and Welltower also agreed to amend a cash flow positive lease for 39 communities. The amendment, contingent upon closing the Welltower portfolio acquisition, would extend the lease through June 2036 from its current maturity in June 2032 and would be Brookdale's only remaining lease with Welltower. In connection with the extended term, Brookdale's existing fair market value purchase option would become exercisable, subject to a pre-negotiated floor, at any time during the lease. Currently, the purchase option is only available immediately prior to the 2032 existing maturity. All other terms of the lease will remain unchanged.

Micron uzavírá dlouhodobé smlouvy na dodávky paměťových čipů až do roku 2030, které stanovují minimální a maximální ceny a zahrnují závazky typu take-or-pay, čímž zajišťují příjmy.
Micron (MU -3.62%) may be entering a new paradigm. The company operates in a cyclical industry, but Micron is taking steps to reduce its cyclicality over the next few years. This could transform Micron into a viable investment option and make it well worth buying stock in, as it looks ready to soar over the next few years.
But by how much? Let's take a look.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
A few comments guide Micron's trajectory
There has been no shortage of estimates regarding the strength of the artificial intelligence build-out. Some projections come from its peers and clients in the industry, while others come from its own management. During Micron's latest quarterly earnings report, management noted that they expect the "supply demand conditions to be much tighter in FY 2027 and 2028 than they were during 2026." That's a notable statement, as 2026's conditions were pretty tight. This led to soaring memory chip prices in 2026, and it could lead to even more expensive chips in the future.
However, Micron isn't sitting idle. It's racing to build more production facilities and expects its Idaho fabrication facility to begin producing chips in mid-2027, with its second Idaho facility starting production in late 2028. However, Micron still projects that memory chips will be in short supply. So, if Micron can increase its output dramatically while maintaining today's high prices, it could lead to incredible growth for the company. But it's not done there.

Micron is starting to sign long-term customer agreements that are locking in floor and ceiling prices for memory chips through 2030. These are also take-or-pay agreements, so Micron is locking in revenue streams. Some of these agreements extend into 2031, indicating an even longer AI growth trajectory.
One long-term AI growth trajectory projection comes from Nvidia, which has repeatedly told investors to expect $3 trillion to $4 trillion in global AI data center capital expenditures annually by 2030. In 2026, Nvidia expects the big five AI hyperscalers to spend nearly $800 billion. If you estimate what others beyond the big five are spending, it's easy to see total capital expenditures sitting around $1 trillion this year.
So, the AI market could triple by 2030. This has huge implications for Micron, as its stock could be ready to skyrocket.
Micron is cheap and has huge growth
First off, Micron has hardly any growth priced into its stock for next year. It only trades at 5.6 times forward earnings.
MU PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
The market is still pricing in a cyclical downturn in the near future, even though Micron has already told investors it won't happen anytime soon. This could lead to the stock at least tripling by the end of 2027, simply by rising to a reasonable valuation. Combine that with the AI market tripling to quadrupling as a whole by 2030, and there is a massive amount of upside baked into the stock.
So, how much could a $2,500 investment in Micron be worth by 2030? If all of the projections stated above come true, when Micron's fabrication facilities come online and start producing a large number of chips as expected, I think investors can expect the stock to grow more than 5-fold. How? First, Micron starts to trade at a reasonable 20 times earnings. I think this is somewhat realistic, as Micron has entered into long-term purchasing agreements with its clients that will reduce the effects of cyclical downturns. As a result, the market will give it a more respectable premium. That takes care of the stock rising about threefold to fourfold.
For the remainder of its growth, I'd point toward Nvidia's projection that data center capital expenditures will triple to quadruple by the time 2030 rolls around. That will mostly be from more computing chips needed, and every computing chip needs memory, potentially sourced from Micron. With that much growth ahead, I think it's pretty reasonable to expect Micron's business to double or triple. That would suggest a $2,500 investment in Micron could be worth $12,500, which makes the stock an absolute no-brainer buy at today's prices.
Micron is taking steps to ensure it isn't as cyclical, and this could make it a strong investment in the AI revolution.
