CLOSING BELL
Jobs Look Good

The market climbed again on Wednesday, after a whole new round of earnings, and ADP private jobs numbers came in healthy.

News that Michael Burry’s bets against the AI world are likely already losing bets also helped sentiment. The Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments in a case questioning the President’s legal authority to put tariffs on everything. The FAA plans to cut 10% of flights, after disagreement over cutting healthcare benefits sent us into more than 36 days of Fed shutdown. A host of opinions argued the shutdown is costing U.S. GDP anywhere form $10B-$30B per week.

Trump blamed the shutdown for affecting the economy, and in part for Democratic local political victories in NJ, Virginia, and a win for incumbent Mayo Zohran Mamdami in NYC. 👀 

Today’s RIP: Hood, Duol, IONQ, report, Jobs numbers looking better, and more. 📰

9 of 11 sectors closed green, with discretionary $XLY ( ▲ 1.22% ) leading and staples $XLP ( ▼ 0.07% ) lagging.

 $SPY ( ▲ 0.35% )  $QQQ ( ▲ 0.65% )  $IWM ( ▲ 1.44% )  $DIA ( ▲ 0.47% ) 

AFTER THE BELL
Three In The Green, One In The Red: Meet The Top Trending Reports

Tonight, chip makers were taking a seat in the second row on Wednesday behind retail favorite stocks that reported after the bell, trending the highest on Stocktwits.

$IONQ ( ▲ 3.8% ) IONQ was climbing nearly 4-7% after the bell, reporting Q3 revenue of $39.87 million vs. $27 million estimated, a 47.65% beat. That’s a whopping 221% climb in revenue for the past quarter then a year ago, the Quantum computing startup long since becoming the apple of Stocktwits retail trading eyeballs. 👁️👄👁️ 

EPS came in at a loss, a net loss of $1.1B for the quarter, but a smaller loss per share than expected. –$0.24 vs. –$0.36 estimated.

“I am pleased to report that we once again beat the high end of our revenue guidance, this time by 37%. We are also raising our revenue expectations for the full year to $110 million at the high end of guidance,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and CEO of IonQ.

Stocktwits retail went bearish after the news

Retail favorite brokerage shop, betting app, and cure-all Robinhood was falling slightly after its post-market report.

$HOOD ( ▲ 4.15% ) reported Q3 earnings of $0.61 per share on record $1.27 billion in revenue, beating estimates. It pulled in more than 200% of last year’s revenue in the same quarter. Crypto revenue rose over 300%, and equities revenue grew 132%. CFO Jason Warnick will step down in Q1 2026, with Shiv Verma set to take over.

$DUOL ( ▼ 0.77% ) Everyone’s favorite bird-based learning app, Duolingo, beat on revenue and EBITDA but missed user growth expectations, reporting 50.5 million daily active users vs. 51.1 million expected. The company mentioned its AI goals were ‘profitable,’ according to Chief Luis von Ahn, but the market questioned how much, as profit margins fell slightly. EPS beat, but the company recorded a tax break of like $222M in the quarter that helped alot.

Sherwood Media cited a leaked internal memo in the spring that turned investor attention onto the beef behind the shift toward AI strategy at the language learning shop: user growth was slowing, and AI would help costs.

$SNAP ( ▼ 2.28% ) Snap beat on revenue and DAUs, posting a $0.06 loss vs. $0.12 expected. Revenue hit $1.5 billion, up 10% YoY, and the company started a $500M stock buyback plan. The price climbed 22% after hours, investors most excited about an $400M AI partnership with Perplexity. Perplexity is paying Snapchat nearly half a billion for a 1 year contract to feature a conversational AI bot, like Snapchat already has. 🤖

Why investors are watching this first-in-class biotech story

A little-known biotech is advancing a next-generation cell therapy for AL amyloidosis—a rare, serious disease with no FDA-approved treatments.

Recent updates report no neurotoxicity to date and an expanded U.S. clinical footprint (now 18 sites), supporting continued progress toward a potential FDA submission if data remain supportive. The program also holds RMAT and Orphan Drug designations, which may provide review efficiencies contingent on ongoing safety and efficacy.

What’s ahead? –> continued enrollment, additional readouts, and regulatory planning that could clarify timing.

If you track emerging therapies in high-need conditions, this is a developing story to follow.

MORE EARNINGS
HUGE ROUND UP: QCOM, ARM, and More

Today was yet another busy one for reporting, maybe the busiest in the entire season.

I really hope it’s the busiest in the season, because there is no other way to represent the reports after the bell than just a huge list, so:

$ARM ( ▼ 0.34% ) ARM climbed after the chip designer beat estimates with EPS of $0.39 and revenue of $1.14 billion. Q3 guidance raised to $1.18–$1.28 billion. The stock jumped 3% after hours on strong AI commentary.

$QCOM ( ▲ 3.98% ) Qualcomm beat with EPS of $3 and revenue of $11.27 billion. QCT segment brought in $9.8 billion, ahead of estimates. Stock fell 3% after disclosing a $5.7B one-time tax charge.

$APP ( ▲ 1.38% ) AppLovin beat with EPS of $2.45 and revenue of $1.40 billion. Q4 guidance raised to $1.57–$1.6 billion. Stock rose 4% despite recent SEC investigation headlines.

$FIG ( ▼ 3.93% ) Figma reported Q3 revenue of $274.17 million vs. $263.93 million estimated, a 3.88% beat. EPS came in at $0.10 vs. –$0.60 estimated, a 116.67% surprise. It was a nice sign from a company that has only publicly reported twice since gracing public markets with its presence.

$LCID ( ▲ 5.38% ) Lucid missed on both EPS and revenue, posting a $2.65 loss on $336.6 million. Free cash flow burn rose to $955.5 million. Stock dropped 4%, Wall Street expecting more but getting cut guidance instead.

$DASH ( ▼ 0.8% ) DoorDash missed on EPS ($0.55 vs. $0.68) but beat on revenue $3.45B. Marketplace GOV and total orders exceeded expectations. Stock plunged 18% despite strong Q4 guidance and user growth.

$LYFT ( ▲ 3.4% ) Lyft reported Q3 revenue of $1.69 billion vs. $1.7 billion estimated, a slight miss of 0.83%. EPS came in at $0.11 vs. $0.08 estimated, a 37.5% beat.
Profitability exceeded expectations despite modest top-line softness.

Job Market Is Back To Not Going Negative, For Now 🫂 

ADP data shows U.S. companies added 42,000 jobs in October, a breath of fresh air for one of the only data points investors have while the government remains closed for business.

ADP is the largest private employer data collector, a huge human resources firm that collects data on 26 million employees across the U.S. The Pew Research Center found ADP data was a pretty good stand-in for BLS government data, though not perfect.

Fed’s Stephen Miran, a Trump rate cut loyalist, told Yahoo Finance it is a welcome surprise to see labor numbers recovering for now. Still, it’s time to cut rates in December, he said.

“All of that to me is an indication that rates could be a little bit lower than where they are now.”
