Previous Close 📈

Stocks ended last week at all-time highs, with the S&P 500 closing above 5,800 for the first time and the Dow also reaching new record levels.

Investors are optimistic after strong third-quarter earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo boosted banking profits, propelling the broader market.

Futures

U.S. stock futures are little changed today as investors await key corporate earnings during the week, including those from Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Netflix, which could further influence market direction. Economic data releases, including September retail sales and industrial production, are also on the radar for the week.

High-Potential Stock to Watch

Gold is skyrocketing, hitting record highs above $2,600 an ounce, and this small-cap gold stock is ready to ride the wave.

If someone had told you a year ago that gold would hit these record highs, would you have positioned yourself to profit?

Now, there’s a new chance to do just that. With over 4 million ounces already confirmed at its flagship project, this company is still trading at just $0.25 per share.

The opportunity to get in early is still available, but it won’t last long. As gold prices continue to surge, the company is positioned to benefit from this bull market with plans to drill even more high-grade gold.

Its leadership team has a proven track record in the gold mining industry, making it one of the smartest plays for investors seeking exposure to the booming market.

What to Watch

Karooooo Ltd. (NASDAQ: KARO) will announce its quarterly earnings after the close of the day’s trade.

NVIDIA Rallies Amid Strong AI Demand and Blackwell Chip Momentum

NVIDIA’s stock is making a strong comeback, rising 11% this month and nearing its record high, thanks to growing investor confidence in the company’s AI chip, Blackwell.

CEO Jensen Huang confirmed that the Blackwell chip is now in full production, with demand described as “insane.” This reassurance follows delays that initially led to a sell-off, which has since been reversed.

A recent report from Morgan Stanley also highlighted that Blackwell orders are booked out for the next 12 months, reinforcing the market’s confidence in NVIDIA’s future.

This optimism is further supported by strong AI demand, including Microsoft’s increased capital expenditures and advancements from companies like OpenAI and Alphabet.

NVIDIA is expected to see its revenue more than double this fiscal year, with analysts projecting another 44% rise next year. Despite its significant growth, the stock remains attractively valued, trading at 37 times estimated earnings, below its five-year average.

As NVIDIA continues to execute its AI strategy, investors are bullish on its long-term prospects, driven by the increasing demand for AI technology and reasoning-based AI, a new area with significant potential.

Pharmaceuticals

Lundbeck Secures $2.6 Billion Acquisition of Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Expanding Epilepsy Drug Portfolio

Danish pharmaceutical company Lundbeck is acquiring Longboard Pharmaceuticals in a $2.6 billion deal, aiming to expand its pipeline of treatments for rare neurological conditions.

The acquisition will see Lundbeck purchase Longboard’s shares at $60 per share, representing a 54.2% premium to the U.S.-based company’s last closing price of $38.90.

The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, following unanimous approval from both companies’ boards.

Longboard’s lead drug candidate, bexicaserin, which targets seizures related to a group of epilepsies, is currently in late-stage development. This acquisition strengthens Lundbeck's position in the neuro-rare-disease space, where effective treatment options remain limited.

Longboard Pharmaceuticals stock is surging by nearly 50% in premarket trading.

Aerospace

Boeing Faces $5 Billion Q3 Loss, Job Cuts as Strike Continues

Boeing announced plans to lay off 17,000 workers, representing 10% of its global workforce, as it grapples with ongoing challenges from a month-long strike and broader financial struggles.

CEO Kelly Ortberg explained that the downsizing is necessary to align with the company’s financial reality, following production halts of key aircraft due to a strike involving 33,000 West Coast workers.

In addition to job cuts, Boeing revealed that it will delay the first deliveries of its 777X jet until 2026, citing development hurdles and the ongoing strike. The company also expects a wider-than-anticipated third-quarter loss of $5 billion, reflecting both defense and commercial plane program setbacks.

Boeing shares are falling 2.26% in premarket trading, while analysts speculate the layoffs may pressure striking workers to reach an agreement. The company estimates that the strike is costing $1 billion per month, placing further strain on Boeing’s financial position.

Amid these challenges, Boeing is also exploring options to raise $10 to $15 billion to maintain its credit rating, as the company faces mounting debt and operational cash flow losses of over $7 billion for 2024’s first half.
