Samsung just posted preliminary Q3 2026 numbers, and they are striking. Operating profit came in at 107.4 trillion won, up 783% year over year, on revenue of 195 trillion won, up 127%. That operating profit figure also beat the analyst consensus estimate of roughly 106.1 trillion won. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of record operating profit. The main driver here is extraordinary demand for AI infrastructure memory, including high-bandwidth memory and DRAM. For anyone following memory names, this is another notable data point supporting elevated demand and pricing in the space. One thing worth keeping in mind: these are confirmed company-issued preliminary figures. The detailed results, including segment profitability, are scheduled for October 29.
$Uber(UBER)$ is still available below where the CEO bought at roughly $71 and below Nancy Pelosi's $70 entry. Donald Trump was also a Q1 buyer. The CEO just put $10M of his own money into the stock, which is his first open-market purchase since 2022. At 15x earnings, this is one of the cheapest valuations the stock has ever traded at. I don't think the AV disruption concerns around $Alphabet(GOOG)$ and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ are as serious as they're being made out to be. Uber is the network that robotaxis would need to plug into.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ The tape is shaping up like another slow, low-volume session, though this time it's tilting slightly to the upside. It just highlights how random low-volume days can be, though the upside did see a couple more million shares than the downside. At this point the stock is mostly news-driven. It feels like most participants have already positioned themselves and are just waiting for a catalyst. Pretty quiet overall.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ For anyone who hasn't noticed, Nvidia's new software has PLTR written all over it. They haven't said how much they're paying, but it should show up in the next earnings report. I've been long for almost 6 years now, so this is good to see.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Funny how my most popular post in a while turned out to be a side note about making a quick Poor Man's Egg Foo Yung with a packet of Ramen Noodles. The shorts might want to take note, they're going to need it.
$Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ The upper $7s has turned into a genuine battleground between two large, stubborn forces. Short sellers are fighting hard to keep this under $8.00, with 42% of the float short. If ONDS slips into the $8s or $9s, that starts triggering technical momentum and retail bull breakout indicators. So far hedgers have basically capped the share price by adding to shorts whenever it tries to move. On the other side, long-term fund managers are looking at the exploding defense backlog and the trading value, like buying companies at less than 3x projected 2027 revenue. That is why real investors see the valuation as incredibly cheap. ONDS is sitting in the mid-to-upper $7s with massive algorithmic buy walls absorbing every shar
