SpaceX and Tesla Merger Could Make History: A $3.4 Trillion Empire or a Risky Deal for Shareholders?
Elon Musk may be preparing for his biggest corporate move yet. According to Bloomberg, $SpaceX(SPCX)$ and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ are progressing with merger negotiations, with an announcement potentially coming as early as December 2026. Both companies’ boards and advisers are reportedly working through the terms, including the valuation, share exchange and governance structure. If completed, this could become the largest corporate merger in history. But what makes this particularly interesting is the businesses that would be brought together. Two very different businesses, one enormous ambition SpaceX is valued at more than $1.9 trillion, while Tesla is worth approximately $1.5 trillion. A
I Was Expecting a Strong Quarter from YETI — So Why Did Its Shares Fall?
Earnings season can be uncomfortable when you own shares in a company you believe has a good business. You go into the announcement hoping for strong results, but sometimes the numbers tell a different story from what the market wants to hear. $YETI Holdings Inc.(YETI)$ is a recent example that caught my attention. YETI is known for its premium drinkware, coolers and outdoor products. It has built a strong brand, and its products are sold across the US and international markets. I would normally consider a company with a recognisable brand, loyal customers and international growth potential worth watching. However, its latest Q3 2026 earnings report shows why I would not want to hold a stock simply because I like the company or its products.
Earnings Season: Palantir Beat Expectations, So Why Did Its Stock Fall?
Earnings season always makes me think twice about my portfolio. Even when I believe in a company, there is always that question before results come out: should I continue holding, reduce my position or sell before the announcement? $Palantir(PLTR)$ is a good example of why this decision is not always straightforward. Going into its latest earnings announcement, I was expecting a strong report. Palantir has been one of the most closely watched AI stocks, and its business has benefited from growing demand for AI software from both businesses and government customers. I was particularly interested in whether its commercial business could continue growing at a rapid pace. Government contracts have been an important part of Palantir’s business for
Earnings Season: Holding Overnight Is Easy, Managing Expectations Is the Real Challenge
Every earnings season brings the same question: should we hold our stocks overnight or sell before the financial results are released? It sounds like a straightforward decision, but the reality is more complicated. One earnings announcement can change market sentiment within minutes. A stock can jump sharply after beating expectations, while another can fall despite reporting record revenue and profits. Personally, I don’t think holding or selling should be an automatic decision. It depends on the quality of the business, its valuation, the expectations already reflected in the share price and how much risk I am willing to take. 1. A good company doesn’t always mean a good earnings reaction This is something investors sometimes overlook. The market doesn’t just compare financial results wi
Earnings Night Is a Risk Test: Hold, Sell or Keep Cash Ready?
Every earnings season brings the same dilemma. A company is about to release its financial results, and investors have to decide whether to hold their shares overnight or reduce their positions before the announcement. It sounds like a simple decision, but it can make a significant difference to a portfolio. A stock can jump 10% or more after a strong earnings report. However, it can also fall sharply even when the company reports record revenue and beats analysts’ expectations. The market doesn’t always reward good results, especially when investors were already expecting something exceptional. For me, the biggest question isn’t whether a company will beat earnings estimates. It is whether the results will be good enough to justify the expectations already built into its share price. 1. T
Earnings Night: Hold, Sell or Stay on the Sidelines?
Earnings season is one of the most interesting but challenging periods for investors. Before a company releases its financial results, there is always a difficult decision: hold the shares overnight, sell before the announcement, or keep some cash ready to buy if the market reacts negatively. There is no perfect answer because even a company that delivers excellent results can see its share price fall the next day. Equally, a company that misses expectations can sometimes rally if management provides a stronger outlook than investors anticipated. 1. Good results don’t always mean a higher share price One thing investors should remember is that the stock market looks forward, not just backwards. A company might report record revenue, higher profits and strong earnings per share, but the sha
Nvidia’s Leadership Crisis: Sell the Panic or Buy the Opportunity?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ investors are facing an unusual situation. The world’s leading AI chipmaker is dealing with a corporate governance crisis at the same time that the AI investment boom is raising expectations for future growth. Following reports of another alleged relationship involving Jensen Huang and Nvidia healthcare executive Kimberly Powell, concerns about the company’s leadership intensified. The reports raised questions about conflicts of interest, corporate governance and the board’s ability to oversee its CEO. Huang had already acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife in a message to employees. Nvidia’s board also launched an independent investigation into separate national security concerns. The situation eventually resulted in Huang
Nvidia’s First Real Test Without Jensen Huang: Is the 4.34% Drop Just the Beginning?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has just experienced one of the biggest leadership shocks in its history. On November 12, shares fell 4.34%, after plunging as much as 14.35% intraday following the immediate resignation of founder and CEO Jensen Huang. CFO Colette Kress has stepped in as interim CEO, while Harvey C. Jones has become chairman of the board. Nvidia is now searching for a permanent successor. For a company that has been led by the same founder for 33 years, this is more than an ordinary management change. But does it mean Nvidia’s AI growth story is in danger? I believe investors should focus on three areas rather than simply reacting to the share price. 1. Leadership succession: Can Nvidia maintain its execution speed? Jensen Huang was not
Nvidia Without Jensen Huang: Can Its AI Empire Continue Without Its Founder?
For more than 30 years, Jensen Huang has been the face, voice and driving force behind Nvidia’s transformation from a graphics-chip manufacturer into the world’s leading AI computing powerhouse. Now, that era has suddenly come to an end. On November 12, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ officially announced that Jensen Huang had resigned as President, CEO and a member of the board, effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress has taken over as interim CEO, while Harvey C. Jones has been appointed chairman of the board. The announcement followed a period of intense scrutiny and an independent board investigation. Nvidia shares initially plunged as much as 14% during the trading session before recovering some losses and closing down approximately 4%. This raise
Jensen Huang Is Out: Can Nvidia’s AI Empire Survive Without Its Biggest Visionary?
Jensen Huang built $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ into the centre of the artificial intelligence revolution. Now, after more than three decades leading the company, he is gone. Nvidia has officially confirmed that Huang has resigned as President, CEO and a member of its board, effective immediately. CFO Colette Kress has been appointed interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent successor. Harvey C. Jones, a director since 1993, has also been appointed as the company’s first-ever board chair. This is a remarkable leadership change for a company that has been closely associated with one person throughout its history. But the bigger question for investors is not simply who will replace Huang. It is whether Nvidia can maintain the vision, commercial re
