CLOSING BELL
Europe
  • 🇬🇧 FTSE 100+0.37%
  • 🇩🇪 DAX-0.99%
  • 🇫🇷 CAC 40-0.16%

London finished higher while Frankfurt dropped nearly 1%, a 1.4-point gap that rewards anyone holding UK exposure over German industrials today. Europe is no longer trading as one block.

LLY Eli Lilly
Regular session
$1135.59
-3.68% open $1179.02
$1.2k$1.2k$1.1k

A 3.7% slide to $1,135.59 shaves tens of billions off a trillion-dollar market cap in a single session, a rare swing for a megacap this size. Whether it holds above the open at $1,179.02 by the close is the thing to keep an eye on.

PRESS RELEASE NVIDIA

NVIDIA Commits $1 Billion to Advance US Science Over the Next Five Years

The spend buys position: NVIDIA is a leading industry partner in the federal Genesis Mission and a collaborator on phase 2 awards in quantum computing, fusion, accelerator design and microelectronics. That follows its work building the Energy Department's largest research supercomputer at Argonne plus seven more systems across Argonne and Los Alamos, locking in government demand for years.

MUsouring fast

Adobe owns the room today with 579 comments, and the mood is bearish as retail traders argue AI tools are coming for its software moat. Micron is souring fast, while Nvidia stays the lone bullish name on the board.

ANGO AngioDynamics
Q1 2027
EPS
-$0.04
est -$0.11 +64.7%
Revenue
$81M
est $81M +0.5%

The quarterly loss came in at a third of what analysts expected as gross margin expanded 410 basis points to 59.4%. Full-year sales guidance of $336 million to $341 million stays intact ahead of Eric Honroth taking over as CEO in November.

IPO TERMS REVISED
Iambic Therapeutics, Inc. IAM · Nasdaq
$15–$17 / share

Iambic sets $15-$17 range for $150 million Nasdaq IPO

Iambic Therapeutics put a price on its Nasdaq debut, about $150 million raised at $15 to $17 per share. Pricing is the last step before the AI drug discovery name starts trading.

TLRY Tilray Brands
Q1 2027
EPS
-$0.02
est $0.04 -150.0%
Revenue
$257M
est $268M -4.0%

BrewDog lifted beverage revenue 82% to $101.5 million, yet both EPS and revenue missed expectations. Management reaffirmed fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $68 million to $75 million, leaning on second-half seasonality and the Carlsberg US launch in January.

HELE Helen of Troy
Q2 2027
EPS
$0.79
est $0.50 +56.5%
Revenue
$441M
est $443M -0.5%

Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.60 to $4.15 from $3.25 to $3.75, a jump that dwarfs revenue missing expectations. Tariff refunds did the heavy lifting: $26.9 million gross came back in the quarter.

PEP PepsiCo, Inc.
Reports Thu Oct 8 Before open 6:00 AM ET Confirmed

Snack volumes and pricing commentary will drive the reaction when PepsiCo reports at 6:00 AM ET. Consensus sits at $2.30 EPS.

    TLRY Tilray Brands, Inc.
    Reports Thu Oct 8 Before open Confirmed

    Tilray reports before the open with three straight EPS misses behind it, the latest a $0.43 loss against a $0.02 estimate. Consensus looks for $0.04 and $267.76 million in revenue, and with a $549.7 million market cap, a fourth miss leaves rescheduling hope doing all the work.

      CLOSING BELL
      Asia
      • 🇭🇰 Hang Seng-1.13%
      • 🇨🇳 SSE Composite-0.77%

      Offshore money sells first when Beijing's support looks targeted, and Hong Kong's 1.13% drop at the close outpaced the mainland's 0.77% decline.

      Europe

      144021407613749

      London's dip is shallow next to Frankfurt, where the DAX gave up 0.46% at the open and set the tone for the region. With the Bank of England now talking up hikes against 4%-plus inflation, UK-exposed names have little room for error today.

      Depositing >$10K At Bank

      u/BootyJuiceJr 138 upvotes 210 comments

      THIS IS NOT HARD. Meet the buyer at your bank. Have him go to the teller with you and be honest that you are selling the car and this is the proceeds from it. Deposit the money and ask them to verify it (obviously they will anyway). When the bank teller has accepted the deposit, sign the title and tell the buyer to enjoy the car. Make sure you keep your half of the title or whatever if it works that way in your state. If your bank is closed on the weekend, do it on Monday or Friday.

      The $10,000 currency transaction report is routine paperwork, and 210 commenters agree the real risk in a $48,000 cash car sale is counterfeit bills. Do the handoff inside the bank, let the teller verify the cash, then sign the title.

      A single Meta purchase of up to $25 million headlines the president's newly public filing, the largest line in a 517-trade report that took 66 days to reach the public. Megacap tech and energy buys sit alongside an AMD sale, all disclosed while the Senate fight over political stock trading limits is still live.

      Tokyo opened a hair below its prior close, a flat start that says traders are unwilling to commit before the Bank of Japan's next rate move. With policy rates already at a 31-year high, the yen is the variable that decides where Japanese exporters go from here.

      Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/7/26

      • Cramer splits the market in two: credit-dependent names like Caterpillar, Ford and IBM versus AI borrowers that price near Treasuries
      • SpaceX seeking $40 billion to buy Nvidia chips at triple-B rating, while Paramount Skydance bondholders got hit at 8%
      • Oracle flagged as the one data-center name still exposed to credit market scrutiny
      • Caller advice: swap Western Digital into cheaper Micron; Vertiv the pick after GE Vernova on data center infrastructure

      AI and data-center names no longer trade off Treasury auctions, so a weak auction hits the industrial and consumer side of your book while chip and power names sail through, with Oracle the named exception. On the calls, he pushed Micron over Western Digital and ranked Vertiv right behind GE Vernova on infrastructure.

      The policy-sensitive two-year yield slipped to 4.79%, easing off the highs just as Fed minutes point to another hike this year. Short-duration bond buyers and anyone pricing cash yields should take note.

      You are a true success story! Know that you are doing what you need to do for you and your cat. I commend you for that. Keep on keeping on as things ARE getting better for you. Nothing is too good to be true.

      One first visit to a food pantry yielded more than 100 items, from meat to hygiene products to pet food, plus free insulation kits and bulbs from the local utility. Anyone stretched thin is likely eligible for safety-net resources that pride keeps them from claiming.

      u/Agitated-Contest-152 157 upvotes 11 comments

      You owe it, but I would still try to negotiate a 3-6 month repayment agreement with them (or whatever works for you and is reasonable for them).

      A glitch that quietly skipped a $65 monthly parking fee turned into a $325 lump sum five months later, and the thread's verdict is that the money was never the tenant's to keep. When a recurring charge vanishes, set the cash aside, then ask for installments when the bill catches up.

      TBB AT&T
      New 52-week low $18.66 -0.9% vs prior low · 2026-09-30
      $24$21$18

      AT&T's TBB baby bond marked a fresh 52-week low at $18.66, 0.9% under the floor it set on September 30. Buyers have not held a line here since last October, so the next bid is the one to watch.

      New 52-week high $424.1 +1.1% vs prior high · 2026-10-05
      $445$290$135

      Valero just notched a fresh 52-week high at $424.10, 1.14% above the record it set only two days earlier. The refiner has roughly tripled off its $156.76 low from a year ago, and the $122.1 billion market cap keeps stretching.

      New 52-week low $5.63 -1.2% vs prior low · 2026-07-29
      $20$12$4.5

      SoundHound AI just marked a fresh 52-week low at $5.63, 1.23% under the prior floor set July 29. The voice AI name now carries a $2.3 billion market cap, and $5.63 becomes the line bulls have to defend.
