Market Signal Briefing

TL;DR:

Ripple, Coinbase, Tether, and the Winklevoss twins reportedly donated to Trump’s new $300M White House ballroom.
The privately funded project has drawn criticism after the East Wing’s demolition and transparency concerns.
Crypto leaders continue to deepen ties with Trump following major 2024 election donations and recent policy influence.

President Donald Trump’s new White House ballroom has drawn an unexpected wave of crypto influence, with major industry figures, including Ripple, Coinbase, Tether, and Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, listed among key donors to the privately funded project.

Crypto and Tech Unite in Lavish $300M Expansion
According to reports, tech giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Comcast have also joined the donor list, though the specific contribution amounts remain undisclosed. The new ballroom, a 90,000 square foot expansion capable of seating 650 guests, carries an estimated cost of $300 million and began construction in September 2025.

The initiative has not been without controversy. The demolition of the East Wing and questions over the project’s transparency have sparked criticism, particularly from Trump’s opponents, who accuse the administration of sidestepping oversight. The White House dismissed the backlash as “manufactured outrage,” calling the ballroom a “visionary, privately funded addition” to the presidential complex.

Trump’s growing relationship with the crypto industry has been years in the making. Earlier this year, Circle, Ripple, and Coinbase reportedly contributed to his inaugural committee, following a major 18 bitcoin donation from the Winklevoss twins to a pro-Trump PAC.

The 2024 election cycle cemented crypto’s political clout, as Fairshake raised over $200 million to support pro-crypto candidates, fueling what many describe as the most blockchain-friendly Congress in history.

In a move that reignited public debate, Trump recently pardoned former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who had served four months for compliance violations, a gesture widely viewed as a sign of the administration’s continued alignment with the crypto sector.

Altcoin season has stayed constrained as the index holds near 24, keeping breadth thin. WLFI has risen on a policy headline linked to CZ, with volume up; Morpho has gained on consistent lending use; SPX6900 has firmed as meme activity has returned. Follow-through has depended on broader participation.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to trade in a tight band, and that has kept many investors on edge. Based on reports, the token is down 45% year-to-date and 15% over the last 30 days.

The memecoin’s price action has left holders wondering when — or if — a strong rebound will arrive. Volume and price swings have cooled, and market mood is leaning toward fear with the Fear & Greed Index at 30.

Analyst Forecasts Late Surge
According to MMB Trader, the stretch of quiet price action is not the end story for SHIB. He described the token as a “dead and sleeping coin” that often surprises late in a cycle.

The key level to watch, he said, sits near $0.00001740. That line traces back to a trend that began after the March 2024 peak of $0.00004567.

If SHIB breaks above that trendline and then holds it on a retest, the trader argued, the price structure would shift toward bullish.

Three Breakout Targets
Reports have disclosed three specific upside targets tied to that scenario. The first target is $0.00003364 — a rise of 235% from the current price of $0.00001003.

The next target is $0.000055480, which would represent about 450% growth from today’s level. The most ambitious point in this view is $0.00007730, equal to roughly a 670% gain.

SHIB market cap currently at $5.98 billion. Chart: TradingView
Some analysts have a similar upside figure, calling for a move to $0.000081 if a sustained breakout happens.

Mixed Signals From Models And Indicators
Other forecasts are more modest. Based on CoinCodex data, SHIB is expected to reach $0.00001183 by November 23, 2025, a rise of 16% from the current price.

Technical indicators in some services are showing Bearish sentiment now. Over the last 30 days SHIB posted 16/30 green days, or 53%, with price volatility around 8.91%. These details show activity is present, but it has not yet produced a clear directional push.

Risk And Market Context
Trading this token remains risky. Millions of holders are exposed while the market waits for a clear catalyst. A breakout above the trendline would likely be followed by a retest, which traders often use to confirm whether the move has real strength.

If the retest fails, the price could fall back into its prior range. That scenario is as possible as a breakout, given the current low volatility and reduced volume.

Possible Rebound
Based on reports and analyst calls, a late and rapid recovery for Shiba Inu is possible, but far from certain. The market is split between cautious models that predict single-digit gains and chart-based calls that map out several hundred percent rallies.

For now, the trendline near $0.00001740 will be watched closely, and any decisive move above it would change the outlook quickly.

Ripple and XRP Ledger gained new ground in Brazil as VERT Capital tokenizes $40 million in pension-backed credit, a deal regulators approved with room to scale 500% higher.

Cover image via U.Today

Ripple and XRP Ledger (XRPL) are adding another regulated use case to their achievements — this time in Brazil’s structured credit market.

As became known, São Paulo-based VERT Capital has completed its second tokenized issuance using XRPL and its EVM Sidechain, bringing more than $40 million in pension-backed receivables on-chain.

What this transaction does is expand XRP presence in Latin America, following its use in cross-border payment corridors between Brazil and Portugal earlier this year.

Ripple's building arm, RippleX, has been positioning XRPL as infrastructure not only for payments but also for tokenized assets, all in accordance with the latest trend on the market, with its intentions ranging from stablecoins and real estate in Dubai to money-market funds in the U.S. through RLUSD integration with BlackRock and VanEck.

Issuer Address: rf15EoP5Z2wR8dK8qFiu3ZwVEeQ8zdXWzr

— RippleX (@RippleXDev) October 24, 2025 Speaking of Brazil, the instrument there is an FIDC — a regulated investment fund that securitizes receivables. The scheme is simple as this issuance is backed by obligations tied to the country’s federal pension system (INSS), considered one of the lowest-risk receivable pools available.

VERT and fintech partner BYX report that the fund currently holds the equivalent of $40 million in assets and could expand another 500% to as much as one billion BRL or $190 million if institutional demand delivers.

Not just tokenization dealMore importantly, though, the partnership also introduced VERT Sign, a blockchain-based signing tool on the XRPL EVM Sidechain. It enables automated, recurring purchases of receivables with full compliance oversight, recording documentation and settlement directly on-chain.

Ripple says Brazil is part of a broader strategy to demonstrate that XRPL can meet regulatory requirements for tokenization. The company and VERT are both involved in the CVM’s LEAP program, a regulatory sandbox designed by Brazil’s securities commission to test blockchain infrastructure on supervised markets.

In brief
Tether unveiled QVAC Genesis I, a 41-billion-token synthetic dataset aimed at training open, STEM-focused AI models.
The release includes QVAC Workbench, a local AI app that runs fully on users’ devices for privacy and control.
CEO Paolo Ardoino said the goal is to decentralize intelligence and challenge Big Tech’s control of AI data.
Tether Data, the technology arm of the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, is expanding into artificial intelligence with the launch of what it calls the world’s largest synthetic dataset for STEM-focused AI models.

Earlier today, the company unveiled QVAC Genesis I, a 41-billion-token dataset built to train science- and engineering-oriented language models, and QVAC Workbench, a cross-platform local AI application that runs models directly on consumer devices. Per Tether, QVAC stands for "QuantumVerse Automatic Computer."

"QVAC is Tether’s answer to centralized AI. An entirely new paradigm where intelligence runs privately, locally, and without permission," the QVAC website mission statement said. "No clouds. No gatekeepers. Just you, your machines, and unstoppable intelligence."

The move marks a striking escalation of Tether’s ambitions beyond finance. The company said the dataset had been validated on math, physics, biology, and medical benchmarks, and was designed to “level the playing field” for open-source AI by giving researchers an alternative to proprietary data controlled by companies such as OpenAI and Google.

Tether's AI first launch.
Local on-device AI is evolving.

- QVAC Workbench, mobile/desktop app for using and experimenting many AI models locally on device with 100% privacy
- QVAC Genesis I, largest synthetic pre-training datasets for Large Language Models (LLMs) to date.… https://t.co/79lYhsobuc

— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) October 24, 2025

While QVAC Genesis I itself isn’t a financial product, the broader QVAC ecosystem is being built with clear links to Tether’s crypto infrastructure. In earlier company statements, Tether said QVAC’s architecture will eventually integrate Bitcoin and its own stablecoin, USDT, enabling AI agents to transact autonomously using digital assets.

This suggests the initiative could evolve beyond data and local AI tools into a network where intelligent agents can not only learn and reason, but also pay, trade, and interact directly through blockchain rails.

“Intelligence shouldn’t be centralized,” said Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s chief executive, in a statement accompanying the release. “With QVAC Workbench and Genesis I, we’re opening the door to infinite intelligence—AI that lives, learns, and evolves locally on your own device.”

QVAC's consumer appThe company also released a free consumer-facing app called QVAC Workbench for smartphones—Android for now, and iOS "within a few days"—as well as desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux). "With QVAC Workbench, all chats and interactions with the AI models remain local on-device, where data is owned by the user and remains 100% private," the company said.

It also introduces a peer-to-peer feature called delegated inference, which allows the mobile app to offload heavy computation to a desktop workstation while keeping all data private and local.

Unlike conventional training material scraped from the public internet, QVAC’s dataset is fully synthetic: generated, filtered, and validated by models trained on educational and scientific materials. Tether claims the data enables models to “reason, solve problems, and think critically” rather than simply mimic text patterns. The full technical breakdown is available in the QVAC research blog.

The QVAC Workbench app lets users run large language models such as Llama, MedGemma, and Qwen entirely on their phones or computers.

Tether framed the twin releases as part of a larger effort to create “local intelligence,” or AI that operates independently of cloud servers. The company, which already dominates the stablecoin market with its USDT token, is positioning its AI unit, Tether Data, as an advocate for decentralized infrastructure that keeps both money and information outside corporate control.

Who owns your AI?The project arrives amid intensifying debate over synthetic data’s role in model training. While it promises privacy and scalability, skeptics caution that synthetic training data can amplify the biases or errors of their parent models, potentially locking in distorted reasoning patterns. Tether’s announcement did not specify which generative systems produced Genesis I’s content or how its quality assurance was performed.

Even so, QVAC Genesis I represents one of the boldest open-data experiments yet from a private crypto firm. If Tether's claims hold up under scrutiny, then it could give independent researchers and smaller labs a new foothold in the AI race, and signal Tether’s determination to influence not only the future of finance, but of artificial intelligence itself.

TL;DR

Evernorth reached a reserve of 261,819,198 XRP valued at $625.7 million — more than half of its $1 billion target.
Ripple, Chris Larsen, Uphold, and Jana Label participated in the initial transfers, aimed at funding product expansion and treasury governance.
The firm plans to integrate the RLUSD stablecoin to enable regulated DeFi services and expects to complete its Nasdaq listing under the ticker XRPN.

Evernorth, the institutional vehicle backed by Ripple to strengthen XRP adoption, has reached a reserve of 261,819,198 tokens, equivalent to $625.7 million.

This amount represents more than half of the company’s $1 billion goal, set to create the largest public XRP treasury and list on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN.

A Structure Dedicated to XRP
The project, presented as the first institutional framework focused exclusively on XRP, aims to enhance the token’s liquidity and offer regulated exposure to its ecosystem. Evernorth emerged from institutional interest in native assets from mature blockchain networks and seeks to become a bridge between traditional capital and the on-chain economy of the XRP Ledger.

According to a report from the validator known as Vet, Ripple transferred two installments of 211 million and 319,000 XRP, while its cofounder and chairman, Chris Larsen, contributed 50 million. Uphold added 199,000 XRP, and Jana Label contributed 300,000 XRP. These allocations are part of a broader funding plan designed to support product expansion, treasury governance, and the development of new on-chain use cases.

Evernorth to Integrate RLUSD
Evernorth plans to integrate Ripple USD (RLUSD) as an on-ramp for DeFi services within the XRP Ledger ecosystem. The use of RLUSD will enable non-custodial liquidity and credit instruments tailored for institutional investors.

The company also announced a business combination agreement designed to raise more than $1 billion in gross proceeds, with completion expected in Q1 2026. The objective is to establish a public company focused on XRP treasury management, featuring an open governance structure and the highest regulatory standards, comparable to exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

If completed as planned, Evernorth will become the largest corporate custodian of XRP and a key component in the integration of tokenized assets and stablecoins within the ecosystem

Quick Facts:

1️⃣ Donald Trump’s full pardon of Binance founder CZ reignites optimism across the crypto market, with BNB up 8% in 24 hours.
2️⃣ Grok AI projects BNB could reach $900–$1,000 by mid-2025 if policy clarity continues and Binance maintains market share.
3️⃣ The broader rally extends beyond BNB as investors rotate into high-throughput Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).
4️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper combines BTC’s security with Solana’s speed through its Canonical Bridge architecture — a setup AI analysts believe could 10x post-listing.

In a stunning twist, President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao on October 23, 2025 — closing the book on years of courtroom drama and regulatory overhang. Markets reacted instantly: BNB jumped 8% within hours, blasting past $1,100.

The move underscores Trump’s drive to position the U.S. as a global leader in cryptocurrency, echoing his campaign vow to dismantle the heavy-handed enforcement policies of earlier administrations.

The question on every trader’s mind: how high can BNB go now that its founder is free – and how will AI tools like Grok forecast the next leg for $BNB and top altcoins like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)?

BNB Price Analysis: Sentiment Turns Sharply Bullish
BNB’s comeback is more than just a headline bounce. The token has already been on a tear this year, climbing 88% compared to Bitcoin’s 62%, and the past 12 months show a consistent rise in active addresses — proof that its momentum is rooted in real network growth, not just speculation.

That bodes well for continued performance, especially when combined with the news of CZ’s pardon.

According to Elon Musk’s Grok AI, the latest predictions show quite a range – and major potential:

1️⃣ Short-Term (Next 1-3 Months): Expect consolidation around $1,050-$1,300, with dips to $1,100 as buy opportunities. A breakout above $1,160 could target $1,200 quickly.
2️⃣ Medium-Term (6 Months): $1,400-$1,500 likely if Bitcoin holds above $90K.
3️⃣ 12-Month Outlook: 20-60% growth, reaching $1,400-$1,900 by October 2026.

The most bearish predictions see $BNB falling to around $700. The more bullish predictions suggest that BNB could reach $1500, in line with what some investors believe on Polymarket, where the current odds for a new all-time high for $BNB before the end of the year stand at 38%.

The Trump 2.0 era continues to reshape crypto policy – and official US presidential residences.

With Fed rates expected to fall at the next meeting and softer-than-expected CPI data, the stage is set for a multi-asset crypto bull phase led by utility tokens like $BNB and next-generation Layer 2 networks like $HYPER.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The Next Major Altcoin Contender Is a Critical Bitcoin Upgrade
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) operates as a hybrid Bitcoin Layer-2 platform merging Bitcoin’s canonical security with Solana’s high-speed virtual machine. What is Bitcoin Hyper? It’s the critical Bitcoin upgrade that transforms Bitcoin from a mere store of value into a game-changing, scalable network.

Key innovations include:

Canonical Bridge Architecture: Wraps Bitcoin into a Solana Virtual Machine environment, unlocking DeFi utility and micro-payments.
Scalability: Thousands of transactions per second vs. Bitcoin’s 7 TPS average.
Staking and Yield: Early participants earn a dynamic 48% APY by staking $HYPER during the presale.
Adoption: Nearly $25M raised in presale funding, placing it among 2025’s most-watched L2 projects.

Bitcoin Hyper extends $BTC into the realm of DeFi, AI integration, and institutional staking – frontiers worth billions in untapped value.

By bridging BTC’s $2 trillion liquidity to Solana-speed execution, it offers a technical edge comparable to early Ethereum or Solana growth stages.

The combination of speed and reliability has attracted nearly $25M to the presale so far. Our price prediction indicates that $HYPER could reach $0.20 by the end of 2026, representing a 1,400% increase from its presale price of $0.013165. To avoid missing out, learn how to buy Bitcoin Hyper with our detailed guide.

That puts $HYPER squarely among the best altcoins to buy.

Visit the official Bitcoin Hyper website.

Trump’s pardon of CZ and BNB’s rally marks the first wave of renewed optimism – and Bitcoin Hyper stands ready to capitalize. As always, do your own research — this isn’t financial advice.

In the latest XRP news, Ripple has introduced ‘Ripple Prime,’ which it plans to integrate into its payment services. This follows the completion of the $1.25 billion Hidden Road deal, after the crypto firm agreed to acquire the prime brokerage earlier in the year.

Ripple Introduces Ripple Prime For Its Payment Services
The crypto firm announced in a blog post that Hidden Road is now Ripple Prime. This came as they announced they had completed the $1.25 billion acquisition of the prime brokerage firm.

Notably, Ripple had first announced its intent to acquire Hidden Road in April, stating that the deal was subject to regulatory approval. With the acquisition now complete, the crypto firm noted that this marks an “exciting new chapter” as they become the first crypto company to own and operate a global, multi-asset prime broker.

The firm further stated that this brings the promise of digital assets to institutional customers at scale. Ripple added that its foundational digital asset infrastructure across payments, crypto custody, and stablecoin, as well as its use of XRP, will complement the services it offers within Ripple Prime.

The prime broker will also look to leverage blockchain capabilities to streamline operations and optimize costs in the future. It is worth noting that Ripple has continued to expand its operations this year through several acquisitions and partnerships.

As CoinGape reported, the crypto firm recently announced the acquisition of GTreasury for $1 billion. It also announced the acquisition of stablecoin platform Rail in August earlier this year.

What This Means For RLUSD Stablecoin
The crypto firm stated that Ripple Prime will significantly enhance the utility and reach of the RLUSD stablecoin. They noted that the stablecoin already serves as collateral for some prime brokerage products. The firm added that certain derivative customers have already chosen to hold their balances in RLUSD, and it expects this to grow substantially in the coming months.

Ripple alluded to the RLUSD’s “robust regulatory compliance,” which they claimed has made it widely trusted by institutions. Notably, Bluechip ranked RLUSD as the top stablecoin, earning an ‘A’ rating for stability, governance, and asset backing.

The crypto firm earlier this year announced its partnership with the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY), which serves as the primary reserve custodian of RLUSD. Ripple reiterated that this underscores their commitment to meeting the highest expectations of institutional users and regulators.

HYPE, the native token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, has witnessed a notable price surge after its listing on the U.S.-based trading platform, Robinhood. The altcoin rose by over 10% within 24 hours, breaking through the $40 support level, signaling strong market momentum. 

This surge comes amid a broader recovery in the crypto market, with the BTC price recovery above the $111K mark, Ether gaining traction, and other major assets like Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB), and XRP also seeing slight price increases.

HYPE Price Surges Following Robinhood Listing
The HYPE token has established a breakout of a several weeks long falling wedge, which is a chart pattern typically accompanied by bullish reversal tendencies. The trend combined with the recent listing on Robinhood increased the interest of investors and increased the activity of the token on the market.

🚨ROBINHOOD LISTED $HYPE! pic.twitter.com/MveBiXSYld

— Coin Bureau (@coinbureau) October 24, 2025

The move by Robinhood to list HYPE as a spot trading exchange is also part of the broader move by the platform to make more tokens available to clients in the U.S. This action makes Robinhood a stakeholder in the increasing competition among decentralized exchanges (DEXs), specifically perpetual contracts exchanges. HYPE has experienced a substantial level of trading with this recent listing, an aspect that highlights its rising popularity in the competitive DEX arena.

Hyperliquid Leads Perpetual Trading Volume in DeFi
As per DeFiLlama data, Hyperliquid has taken the top spot as the most active decentralized exchange (DEX) in terms of volume in perpetual trades. The site has also recorded a massive trading volume of $8.5 billion in the past 24 hours, which also reveals its market dominance.

Hyperliquid also has an open interest of $7.526 billion in addition to this impressive volume, which implies that there is healthy market activity and considerable levels of traders interest.

These figures keep Hyperliquid ahead of its competitors in terms of a robust presence in the decentralized perpetual markets.

Source, DeFiLlama data
Will Hype Price Break Through $50 Resistance?
As of reporting, the Hype price was trading at $40.89, reflecting a modest 3% increase in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has shown a steady upward movement, reaching a resistance level near $40.00. 

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 58, indicating that the price is neither overbought nor oversold. This places Hyperliquid at a neutral point, where there is further price intervention. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also possesses positive momentum since the MACD line stands at 0.797 which shows that the bullish strength is on the rise.

Source, HYPE/USD 4-hour price chart: Tradingview
The next target would be $45.00, with further resistance potentially lying at $50.00. If the market maintains its bullish posture, the price may approach these levels in the coming days.  If the Hype price forecast falls below $38.00, there is a risk of further decline toward $36.00, a potential area for additional support.

To summarize, the momentum of HYPE after listing on Robinhood is strong and indicates a bright future. The token may even penetrate $50 in case the market conditions are favorable as the technical indicators reflect the strength of the bull.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when Civeo (CVEO - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2025. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 31. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

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

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis provider of remote-site workforce housing is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +155.6%.

Revenues are expected to be $174.74 million, down 0.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 51.16% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

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

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

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

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

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

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

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

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Civeo?For Civeo, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +39.83%.

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

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

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

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Civeo would post a loss of$0.03 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.25, delivering a surprise of -733.33%.

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

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

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

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

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Hotels and Motels industry, Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $1.01 per share for the quarter ended September 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +50.8%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $1.36 billion, up 3.9% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Hilton Grand Vacations has been revised 5.7% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -8.69%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Hilton Grand Vacations will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company could not beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters.

Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

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

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 31, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

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

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis holding company for the Chicago Board Options Exchange is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.46 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $579.03 million, up 8.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.55% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

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

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

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

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

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

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

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

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for CBOE?For CBOE, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +3.11%.

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

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

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

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that CBOE would post earnings of $2.42 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.46, delivering a surprise of +1.65%.

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

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

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

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

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that ICE will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Lear?For Lear, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.58%.

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

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

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

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Lear would post earnings of $3.23 per share when it actually produced earnings of $3.47, delivering a surprise of +7.43%.

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

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

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

Lear doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

An Industry Player's Expected ResultsBorgWarner (BWA - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $1.16 for the quarter ended September 2025.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggests that BorgWarner will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

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

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 31. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

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

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis maker of household and personal products is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.6%.

Revenues are expected to be $1.53 billion, up 1.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.08% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

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

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

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

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

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

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

Key Takeaways Jakafi sales momentum across approved indications likely drove strong quarterly revenues.Opzelura growth in the U.S. and EU, plus rising Novartis royalties, boosted overall performance.New approvals like Niktimvo and Monjuvi's expanded use added to Incyte's product sales strength.
We expect Incyte Corporation (INCY - Free Report) to surpass expectations when it reports third-quarter 2025 earnings on Oct. 28, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues is pegged at $1.26 billion, while the same for earnings is pinned at $1.66 per share.

Let’s see how things might have shaped up before the announcement.

Factors Likely to Influence INCY's Q3 ResultsIncyte primarily derives product revenues from the sales of its lead drug, Jakafi (ruxolitinib), in the United States, as well as from the sales of other marketed drugs. Its momentum is likely to have continued on the back of strong Jakafi sales, a first-in-class JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, in all approved indications (polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis and refractory acute graft-versus-host disease [GvHD]).

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Jakafi's third-quarter sales is pegged at $770 million.

Incyte also earns product royalty revenues from Novartis (NVS - Free Report) for the commercialization of Jakafi in ex-U.S. markets.

While Incyte markets Jakafi in the United States, Novartis markets the same drug as Jakavi outside the United States. INCY is expected to have received higher royalties from NVS in the to-be-reported quarter due to potentially higher Jakavi sales.

Year to date, shares of Incyte have risen 29.3% compared with the industry’s 9.3% growth.

Incyte also receives royalties from the sales of Tabrecta (capmatinib), which is approved for treating adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Novartis has exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to Tabrecta.

In the to-be-reported quarter, INCY expects growth in Opzelura sales to be driven by continued growth in new patient starts and refills in the United States and increased contribution from the EU.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Opzelura’s third-quarter sales is pegged at $179.1 million.

While Jakafi’s sales and royalties are the key catalysts for Incyte’s revenue growth, sales of other drugs like Minjuvi, Pemazyre and Iclusig, and Olumiant’s royalties from Eli Lilly (LLY - Free Report) are also likely to have contributed to Incyte’s top line. INCY has a collaboration agreement with LLY for Olumiant. The drug is a once-daily oral JAK inhibitor discovered by Incyte and licensed to Eli Lilly. It is approved for several types of autoimmune diseases.

In 2024, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement with MorphoSys AG. This gave Incyte exclusive global rights to tafasitamab, a humanized Fc-modified CD19-targeting immunotherapy marketed in the United States (as Monjuvi) and outside the country (as Minjuvi). In May, the FDA approved Monjuvi for a new cancer indication. The regulatory body approved Monjuvi in combination with Rituxan (rituximab) and Revlimid (lenalidomide) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, a type of slow-growing blood cancer. The label expansion of the drug is likely to have boosted sales of the drug.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Iclusig, Minjuvi and Pemazyre’s third-quarter sales is pegged at $30.6 million, $37.9 million and $22 million, respectively. Incremental sales from Zynyz, too, are expected to have boosted Incyte’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.

Incyte and partner Syndax Pharmaceuticals obtained FDA approval for axatilimab-csfr, an anti-CSF-1R antibody, for the treatment of GVHD after the failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg. The candidate was approved under the brand name Niktimvo. The drug is Incyte’s second approved treatment for chronic GvHD (third-line) and was launched in the United States during the first quarter of 2025. Niktimvo recorded $36.2 million in sales in the second quarter of 2025.

Investors will be keen to get further updates on the ongoing launch activities for Niktimvo and its sales performance during the upcoming earnings announcement.

Higher research and development expenses, as well as increased selling and general and administrative costs, are likely to have escalated operating expenses in the third quarter.

INCY's Earnings Surprise HistoryIncyte has a mixed history of earnings surprises. The company beat on earnings in two of the trailing four quarters, while missing the same on the other two occasions, delivering an average surprise of 4.2%. In the last reported quarter, INCY posted an earnings surprise of 12.95%.
