Goldman beats and JPMorgan misses as big banks report
JPMorgan Chase reported third-quarter earnings on October 13, 2026 of $5.75 per share, short of the $5.94 consensus, on revenue of $50.17 billion against estimates of $51.23 billion. Its shares traded down $2.31 to $331.99 on volume of 13,751,987, above the average of 9,213,867. Goldman Sachs went the other way, with diluted EPS of $17.01 versus $12.86 expected, revenue up 23% to $18.68 billion and net income up 29% to $5.29 billion. A 72% jump in equities-trading revenue to $6.44 billion drove the beat, and Goldman stock was up $2.56 at $896.51 mid-day.
Why it mattersThe split results show trading-heavy Goldman benefiting from equities activity while JPMorgan fell short on both profit and revenue, a divergence that can reshape bank-sector positioning.
Apple again stalls just short of a $5 trillion market value
Apple shares briefly rose above $348 on October 13, 2026, but faded and closed at $341.27, just under the $342.61 price that corresponds to a $5 trillion market capitalization. According to Dow Jones Market Data cited by the Wall Street Journal, it was the sixth time the stock has traded above that level intraday, following July 28 and 29, September 22 and 28, and October 12. Separately, Reuters reported that Apple's HomeView brings a personalized Siri to the smart home, putting the company in competition with Amazon and Google.
Why it mattersRepeated failures to close above $342.61 mark a closely watched resistance point, while the smart-home push opens a competitive front against two large rivals.
Tesla deliveries and a Jefferies target lift sentiment ahead of earnings
Tesla delivered 486,532 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, which MarketBeat describes as above expectations and supportive of bullish talk about a recovery toward prior highs. Jefferies raised its price target to $400 from $350 while keeping a Hold rating, citing resilient deliveries and better prospects for energy, services and other non-automotive businesses. The report also says Tesla's Cybercab fleet in Austin reportedly passed 300 vehicles, and that a European debut is planned at the Paris Motor Show. Investors are expected to focus on automotive gross margin and energy-storage growth at the next earnings report.
Why it mattersDelivery strength and a higher analyst target set expectations for the coming earnings report, where margins and non-auto growth are likely to drive the stock.

Why it mattersA rack-level product aimed at agentic AI pushes AMD beyond individual chips and toward the full data-center systems market where it competes for large AI budgets.
FASB proposes rules letting qualifying stablecoins count as cash equivalents
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board has proposed guidance that could allow companies to classify certain stablecoins as cash equivalents, which could improve their use in corporate treasury and payment operations. To qualify, holders must have a contractual right to redeem on demand, redemption must be available directly from the issuer for a known amount, and the issuer must hold segregated reserves covering at least 100% of outstanding tokens in short-term, highly liquid assets. The proposal leaves the existing definition unchanged, and companies would keep the option to apply the classification.
Why it mattersClearer accounting treatment could make stablecoins easier for corporate treasurers to hold and use, while the reserve and redemption conditions favor fully backed issuers.
