Everyone is asking who wins from AI spending.
Today’s earnings gave a very different answer than the headlines.

$META’s sales jumped 26%. Its free cash flow went negative.

Five reports, Meta, Tesla, IBM, TI and Lam, in one read:👇

Record revenue. A failed merger. Then Chapter 11.

Getty Images’ collapse is a story of debt, regulatory risk and a bet on scale that unravelled. AI is part of the picture, but not the whole story.

What went wrong?👇

Wall Street Wrap | OCT 21

SpaceX revived the AI trade. $SPCX jumped 7.8% after forecasting Q1 2027 revenue of $33B to $37B, lifting $IXIC 1.05% as $SMCI rose 9.5% and $NVDA 2.5%. Musk called a $TSLA merger a "good idea," and the stock gained 3.4%.

$T fell 6.4% on soft postpaid adds and SpaceX's push into mobile, and $NFLX lost 5.3% on a soft outlook.

AH: $META +6.8% on a revenue beat, the same day a New Mexico court ordered a $25B penalty. $QS +7.5%, $IBM +4.1%, $LRCX -5.8%.

Wall Street Wrap | OCT 20

Wall Street has a new problem: beating earnings estimates no longer works.

$ISRG sank 11% after hours despite topping forecasts. $NFLX fell 5% on a weak outlook. $GM and $GE both dropped on the day after beating estimates, even with a $20B buyback at GM.

The exception: $SPCX revenue surged 161% to $14.58B and $COF rose 6.7% after hours.

Salesforce just paid a 58% premium for Braze.

$BRZE jumped 51%. $CRM slipped. And a third stock rose about 10% without even being in the deal.

Apple was late to MP3 players. Late to tablets. Late to smartwatches. Late to smartphones.
It won all four. 

Now it's late to foldables, with "Pro and tell" set for Oct 28.

Is the wait the strategy? 👇

Nobody is talking about the real inflation problem.
It’s not oil. It’s not wages. It’s a habit Americans picked up without noticing.

But look at what’s underneath:
-PPI: +6.3% on the year, +1.3% in September alone
-CPI: +3.7%. Firms are eating the gap. For now
-65 months of inflation above 2%
-$40trn of debt that makes inflation tempting

A shock passes. A habit does not.
