On October 20, SpaceX released results showing a fundamental transformation of its business. Strong revenue growth from artificial intelligence helped the company achieve its first profitable quarter since going public. Elon Musk also confirmed discussions regarding a potential merger with Tesla. Investors were thus presented with strong results as well as a new strategic question that could reshape both companies. SpaceX shares rose by approximately 8% in after-hours trading.* [1]

JPMorgan Chase zveřejnil 13. října výsledky za třetí čtvrtletí roku 2026, které pro Wall Street znamenaly neobvyklé zklamání. Největší americká banka vykázala zisk 5,57 USD na akcii oproti odhadu 5,85 USD a podle údajů LSEG poprvé od posledního čtvrtletí roku 2023 nesplnila prognózy zisku. Slabší výnosy z dluhopisových trhů a zpomalení investičního bankovnictví ukázaly, kde naráží její růst na omezení. Pro investory je nyní zásadní, zda banka dokáže udržet růst výnosů a zároveň zvládnout rostoucí náklady.1

Frozen french fry manufacturer Lamb Weston announced its results on October 6, 2026, revealing a striking discrepancy between reported profits and the stock market’s reaction. Net income plummeted 55% year-over-year, yet investors responded by buying shares. The company exceeded expectations and raised its full-year outlook. Sales growth in North America and cost-cutting measures suggest that changes in the company’s operations are beginning to pay off. The question remains, however, whether this progress will be enough to resolve problems overseas. [1]

TD SYNNEX reported results that, at first glance, look very strong and confirm that the company is benefiting from growing demand for technology infrastructure. Upon closer inspection, however, the picture is not entirely clear-cut. Behind the record numbers lies a combination of rapid expansion, shifting margins, and significant cash flow fluctuations, which investors have begun to view with far greater sensitivity than revenue growth alone. It is precisely the difference between what the income statement shows and what is happening beneath the surface that makes TD SYNNEX’s latest quarter a much more interesting story than the headline numbers alone would suggest.
