Robinhood Q3 Revenue Hits Record as Crypto Slump Offsets Gains in Options and Prediction Markets

Boeing Stock Plummets 10% as 737 Production Ramp Slips to 2027

CEO Kelly Ortberg admitted that reaching a monthly output of 47 737 jets is taking longer than expected, with the next increase to 52 jets now pushed to the second half of 2027. Despite a narrower net loss of $116 million and strong defense sales, the commercial aircraft division remains unprofitable, causing investors to sell off the stock despite a record backlog.

The artificial intelligence sector is consuming unprecedented amounts of capital, with estimates suggesting over $10 trillion will be required through 2032 to build necessary infrastructure. Major tech firms are aggressively raising funds through record-breaking stock sales and debt to compete for resources. This intense demand for capital is creating financial strain for even profitable companies, forcing layoffs and raising concerns about a potential bubble, while simultaneously driving up borrowing costs for the U.S. government.

Activision’s Silence on Modern Warfare 4 Sales Marks a Shift from Decades of Box Office Bragging

Activision has refrained from announcing specific sales figures for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, despite the game receiving the franchise's highest Metacritic score in 15 years. Instead, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma highlighted a $40 billion lifetime franchise revenue milestone. This cautious approach contrasts sharply with the aggressive marketing of previous titles, which frequently compared launch weekend sales to Hollywood blockbusters. While Modern Warfare 4 is critically acclaimed, it is currently posting lower concurrent player numbers on Steam than the previous entry, Black Ops 6, and Activision has not disclosed specific unit sales or revenue data for the new release.
