S&P 500 edges up 0.36% to 7,568.92 amidst geopolitical caution, corporate earnings, and macro volatility. Wall Street traded mixed while investors monitored the U.S. midterm elections, key tech earnings, and a sharp drop in energy prices. In this article, we would be sharing how the market performed in terms of major U.S. indices. 11 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ GICS sector performance, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Q3 2026 earnings official results and 10-Year treasury yield & commodities.

SanDisk just dropped a jaw-dropping earnings report. Revenue hit $11.03 billion (up 23% QoQ), gross margins soared to an astonishing 85.1%, and EPS came in at $49.51—completely obliterating the high end of guidance. $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ Management even pulled out the big guns: a $5 billion buyback and an 8-for-1 stock split. But here is the plot twist: right alongside this blowout print, the company issued a cautious warning about a "March slowdown." How can a company printing money at an 85% margin be bracing for an icy spring? SanDisk just dropped a jaw-dropping earnings report. Revenue hit $11.03 billion (up 23% QoQ), gross margins soared to an astonishing 85.1%, and EPS came in at $49.51—completely obliterating the high end of guidance. Manag

English Version： After a sharp selloff, investors tend to fall into one of two camps: those who believe the worst is over and a rebound could come at any moment, and those who fear the decline is only just beginning. U.S. equities now sit squarely between those two views. Major indexes are approaching key technical levels, leadership in technology stocks is starting to weaken, and investors are looking for safe havens. But what happens next will depend on more than how far the market has fallen over the past few days. Two major catalysts will matter most: the U.S. midterm elections and Nvidia’s earnings. $1.5倍做空NVDA ETF-Tradr(NVDS)$ $英伟达(NVDA)$ $标普500(.SPX)$

$Qualcomm(QCOM)$ is reporting its Fiscal Q4 2026 earnings on 04 Nov 2026. Investors and the market are closely watching several key metrics, guidance figures, and growth drivers. In this article, we would like to share our comprehensive look at the consensus vs. guidance setup, segment dynamics, the Apple transition, AI/Data Center diversification, and tactical post-earnings trade execution frameworks. Part 1: Earnings Setup, Guidance vs. Consensus & Segment Performance Heading into the Fiscal Q4 2026 print, Qualcomm's financial setup presents a distinct dichotomy between short-term macro smartphone saturation and structural structural expansion across non-handset domains. Wall Street analysts are focused on whether Qualcomm can deliver top-li

Something interesting is happening underneath this market. Yesterday: NASDAQ: -1.07% S&P 500: -0.51% while: DOW: +0.41%. Yet this morning some of the most beaten-up growth names are bouncing pre-market. AMD: +2.94%. SMCI: +2.46%. Micron: +3.24%. CRCL: +0.99%. That looks like dip buying. But I think something bigger is happening. The market is becoming much more selective about: WHAT IT IS WILLING TO PAY FOR. Palantir just gave us a perfect example. Phenomenal growth. Phenomenal margins. Phenomenal cash generation. The stock still fell. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq-100 has entered correction territory as investors increasingly question whether enormous AI spending will translate into sufficient returns. So going into tonight's earnings, I am NOT asking: “WHICH COMPANY WILL BEAT?” That question

The market wanted perfection. Despite a strong earnings beat, the stock fell 24% on earnings day. Why? Because after a 66% YTD run fueled by the AI narrative, expectations were flawless. The 24% drop isn't about demand collapsing. $ServiceNow(NOW)$ It's a brutal valuation reset triggered by decelerating cRPO guidance and accounting optics. The underlying business is firing on all cylinders: $5M+ net new ACV deals surged 135% YoY to 19 deals, and the annual AI ACV target was raised to $1.7B. But the stock is now paying the price for a compressed margin profile and a cautious Q4 guide. 1. Why the 24% Drop? The "Triple Whammy" of Optics If deals are surging, why did GAAP net income plummet 45% to $277M and GAAP subscription gross margin fall from 80%

AXP $AXP Energy Ltd(AXP.AU)$ reported a solid 3Q26. Revenue rose 9% to $20.06B. Adjusted EPS rose 13% to $4.68. Card fees rose 16%. Credit improved. But GAAP EPS rose 31%, and about $1.11 of that came from the GBTG equity sale. The headline overstates underlying momentum. Our concern is not demand. It is flywheel economics. CMS/card fees rose to 68% from 58%. Benefit costs are absorbing more of each card-fee increase. NIM expansion is deposit-driven and near its limit. At 16-17x forward P/E, the stock looks fairly valued. We stay Neutral. Earnings quality: The 31% GAAP EPS growth isn't the right operating benchmark. Adjusted EPS +13% is. Three one-offs boosted GAAP: the GBTG sale, provision release, and a lower tax rate. Provisions fell to $985M

$ARM Holdings(ARM)$ trades on the Nasdaq at $196.79, down 32.68% over the past month ahead of its fiscal second-quarter 2027 earnings release scheduled for November 4, 2026, after the market close. In this article, we would like to discuss and share the comprehensive breakdown covering Pre-Earnings Context, Q2 FY27 Consensus Targets, Royalty vs. Licensing splits, Valuation Premium rationale vs. risks, and 3 explicit post-earnings execution strategies for current shareholders. 1. Pre-Earnings Performance & Market Context Arm Holdings enters its Q2 FY27 earnings event under intense institutional scrutiny following a steep 32.68% price contraction over the past 30 days, settling at $196.79. To contextualize this selling pressure, market participan

Money Market Fund US$ MMF net 7-day yield: 3.69% 7-day net yield is calculated using calendar days and NAVs rounded to five decimal places. Last week, the Fed held the target range at 3.75%–4.00% at the 28 October FOMC, as widely expected; Chair Warsh signalled no pre-set policy path. The curve twist-steepened after the meeting. US Treasuries rallied into Friday on haven demand amid the tech sell-off: the 2Y fell to 4.59% and the 10Y to 4.93%. Nevertheless, September PCE (+0.5% m/m, 3.6% y/y) kept inflation risks in view. Focus now turns to the 3 November midterms and the 4 November Treasury refunding. S-REITs SRT YTD total return: -9.07% SRT was flat WTD (0.00%). Office and data-centre REITs were the largest sub-sector drags while residential and hotel were the top gainers. MINT was the l

Stocks to Watch Today: AI Debt Concerns Rise, Semiconductor Earnings Take Center Stage | November 3, 2026 November 3 is shaping up to be another important day for U.S. equity investors. Technology stocks have been under pressure, semiconductor shares have experienced renewed selling, and concerns about AI infrastructure spending are becoming increasingly difficult for Wall Street to ignore. Interestingly, AI demand has not suddenly disappeared. Instead, investors are beginning to question whether massive AI investments can generate sufficient returns to justify their costs. In my view, four major themes deserve attention today. 1. AI Financing: Is the Debt Burden Becoming a Bigger Risk? One of the biggest stories comes from $Oracle (ORCL)$. Oracle is reportedly planning to raise approximat

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) will report its fiscal third-quarter (Q3) 2026 financial results on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, after the U.S. market close (around 4:00 PM EST). In this article we would like to share how we are addressing AMD's Q3 2026 earnings preview, AI market dynamics, target price evaluation, and Bull Put Spread option strategies. This include evaluating the impact of Intel’s earnings spillovers, Instinct MI Series accelerator momentum, street target viability, and options strategies ahead of Q3 reporting. 1. Macro Backdrop: Intel Contagion and Sector Pullback The semiconductor index has faced notable headwinds leading into AMD’s Q3 2026 report. An 11% decline in AMD stock over recent weeks was heavily influenced by spillover effects from Intel Corporation’s quarterly rep

Buying the World Before America Votes: Is VT a Smart Investment Ahead of the US Midterms? Why investing in the world’s stock market may be a better bet than trying to predict the next occupant of the political hot seat. There is something fascinating about investing on the eve of a major political event. Markets are nervous, commentators are making predictions, political divisions are dominating the headlines, and investors are wondering whether tomorrow’s result could make them richer or poorer. With the US midterm elections approaching, one interesting question emerges: could buying shares in Vanguard’s Total World Stock ETF (VT) just before Americans head to the polls be a smart investment move? And, more specifically, what happens if the Democrats win? My answer is that there is a comp

US markets are entering another important trading session, with investors balancing AI spending concerns, earnings announcements and uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections. Monday’s session ended with mixed results. The S&P 500 slipped 0.52%, while the Nasdaq fell 1.1%. Technology and AI-related shares remained under pressure, suggesting investors are becoming more selective about companies exposed to the AI investment cycle. Here are five stocks I am watching today. 1. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  – The Biggest Earnings Test AMD is at the top of my watchlist ahead of its earnings announcement after today’s market close. The company has guided for approximately $13 billion in quarterly revenue and a non-GAAP gross margin o

$Apple(AAPL)$ latest earnings report comes at an important moment for the company. John Ternus is taking his first earnings call as CEO, and investors will be looking beyond iPhone sales to understand whether Apple can maintain its growth and profitability in an increasingly expensive technology environment. Apple remains one of the world’s most valuable technology companies, supported by its strong brand, loyal customer base and integrated ecosystem. However, its valuation leaves relatively little room for disappointment, particularly when earnings growth has not always kept pace with expectations. There are several important factors worth watching. 1. Rising Memory Costs Could Pressure Margins One of the biggest challenges facing Apple is t
