Sandisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) gave investors two pieces of news on Thursday, Oct. 29. The flash memory company's fiscal first-quarter revenue grew 23% over the previous quarter to $11.0 billion. And the board approved an eight-for-one stock split, with split-adjusted trading expected to start Friday, Nov. 20.
Does a split announcement tell investors anything about where a stock heads next? I checked what happened over the year after eight big-name split announcements, measured from every stock's close on announcement day.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »

Azmatullah Omarzai produced a stunning rescue act with the bat, smashing a record-breaking century to help Afghanistan recover from a disastrous start and post 221/7 against Zimbabwe in the second T20I at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Walking in with Afghanistan reeling at 5/4, Omarzai launched a counter-attack that completely changed the course of the innings. He hammered 116 off just 50 **** , striking five fours and 12 sixes at an astonishing strike rate of 232.
With the effort, Omarzai registered the highest individual score by a batter coming in at No. 6 or lower in T20Is involving Full Member nations. He went past the previous record of 89, scored by former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi against Ireland in 2017.
The record-breaking knock also put Omarzai ahead of Sam Billings (87 against West Indies in 2019), Cameron White (85 not out against Sri Lanka in 2010) and David Miller (85 not out against Pakistan in 2021) on the list.
Afghanistan's innings had been in complete disarray after Zimbabwe's bowlers reduced them to 5/4. Several top-order batters departed cheaply, while Sediqullah Atal managed just 17 off 21 deliveries before falling in the ninth over.
Omarzai found an ideal partner in Ijaz Ahmad Ahmadzai, and the duo launched a remarkable recovery. They added 142 runs off only 59 **** for the sixth wicket, with Ijaz contributing a blistering 52 off 27 deliveries, including five fours and three sixes.
The partnership was finally broken when Ijaz fell with the score at 180. Omarzai continued his **** ault before being dismissed in the 19th over, having already produced one of the finest rescue acts in Afghanistan's T20I history.
Captain Rashid Khan provided a spectacular finish, smashing an unbeaten 25 off just six **** , including four sixes. Mujeeb Ur Rahman remained not out on two as Afghanistan closed their innings at 221/7, scoring at 11.05 runs per over.
Rashid also achieved a major milestone during the match, becoming the first bowler to claim 200 wickets in T20Is.
Zimbabwe fall short despite Sikandar Raza's century
Zimbabwe were unable to overcome the imposing target despite a determined effort from captain Sikandar Raza, who scored his second T20I century.
Raza fought till the end, but the visitors ultimately fell short, with Afghanistan's early batting collapse proving to be a distant memory after Omarzai's extraordinary intervention.
Tafadzwa Tsiga offered valuable support on his debut, while the dismissal of Ryan Burl dealt another blow to Zimbabwe's hopes.
The victory also extended Afghanistan's remarkable dominance in the rivalry, marking their eighth consecutive T20I series win against Zimbabwe. The visitors are yet to win a T20I series against Afghanistan.

OLD LYME — Vivian Boller was a freshman already playing regularly for the Lyme-Old Lyme girls soccer team when she brought a request to her coach.
"She was playing outside midfield and she wasn't taking any throw-ins," coach Caroline Wallace said. "And she came up and said, 'Caroline, I want to take the throw-ins,' and I was like, 'Go for it.'"
It may seem like a simple request from a young soccer player, but there was a little more to it. Boller was born without a left arm, and in soccer, throw-ins are done with both hands on the ball.
"I have a vague memory of it," Boller said, "but it's still in the back of my mind. Playing for my (youth) team, I remember going up for a throw-in because my coach really liked to play quick, once the ball goes out, you grab it and play it immediately. I went to grab it and the other coach said something along the lines of, 'She can't do that. That's not legal.'"
No one, though, can tell Vivian Boller, now a junior, she can't do something and expect it to stick. It hasn't been an issue in high school, where Boller now plays center midfield with a traditionally powerful girls soccer program. She also plays guard for the basketball team and competes in sprints and jumps for the two-time state champion girls track team.

Chet Hanks confronted Eric André on the floor of ComplexCon, approaching the comedian in person more than three years after they publicly argued over his appearance on The Eric André Show.
Footage published by TMZ shows Hanks approaching André from behind and placing a hand on his shoulder. André initially turns toward him and extends a hand before the conversation grows tense.
"What are you talking about?" André asks during the exchange. Security steps between the men, and André eventually walks away with the group around him while Hanks remains with the people filming.
Hanks posted the video on Instagram on Oct. 5th, following the convention's Oct. 3rd and 4th run at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Hanks wrote that André initially had "NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER" of criticizing him in the media after their television taping. He also mocked the comedian for attending the event with what Hanks described as four security guards.

Princess Diana's friend has slammed Charles Spencer's book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," dedicated to his late sister. For those unversed, Spencer penned a memoir chronicling Princess Diana's experience being married to King Charles, dealing with intense media scrutiny and her tragic passing. Ever since the book was released on September 22, it has been making headlines.
Princess Diana's friend berated Charles Spencer and branded him as "deeply disloyal" for writing a book about his late sister. In a 1998 TV special with Sally Magnusson, Spencer had declared that he would never profit off his sister's death and thought it was "low."
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward was once a good acquaintance of Diana and had spent time with her shortly before her tragic death in 1997. Seward told The Royal Observer's Palace Unfiltered: "I think that Charles has been deeply disloyal, writing about his sister, putting himself up there, and then to attack the king was so unnecessary. I don't know if what he's saying is accurate, but you know, memory does change over the years."
The Daily Mail published an excerpt, detailing an explosive phone call between Spencer and King Charles over Diana's funeral preparations. As per Spencer, Charles retorted, saying: "Rest **** ured, we will forget her soon enough."
Diana's brother said he was "stunned" by Charles' harsh words for the mother of his children. Additionally, he also claimed the King sounded "giddily elated, like a lottery winner," just after her death.

Charles Spencer recalled an unusual memory involving ex-Prince Andrew in his Princess Diana memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. He described an incident at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham when Andrew was a teenager. The revelation comes as Andrew challenges the legality of police searches connected to his arrest.
According to the Express UK, in his memoir, Spencer recalled attending the Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Sandringham with Diana when Andrew was a teenager. He wrote that he and Diana saw Andrew raise his eyebrows with "theatrical exaggeration" and smirk after a priest referred to "the virgin's womb." "He was clearly greatly amused by a reference to that part of a woman's anatomy in such a solemn setting," Spencer added.
This is one of the many controversial revelations he made in his memoir, one of which also included a heated conversation between him and King Charles following Princess Diana's death. Spencer alleged that the monarch told him over the phone call that "We'll forget her [Diana] soon enough."
This shocking revelation comes amid Andrew pursuing a judicial review, asking the court whether the police lawfully searched his properties and made his arrest. This review is in relation to warrants used to search his home at Sandringham and his former home, Royal Lodge, in Windsor. By doing so, he has become the first royal to challenge a proceeding.
According to the BBC, Thames Valley Police said in a statement: "We are engaged in legal proceedings in relation to warrants previously obtained from the Central Criminal Court." Adding, "As these legal proceedings are currently ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further." Andrew was stripped of his remaining military affiliations and royal patronages in 2022. In 2025, he announced that he would no longer use his ****** les and honors, including the Duke of York ****** le.

Relatives of some soldiers killed in the Iran war joined dozens of Gold Star families from prior U.S. conflicts Tuesday at the White House, where President Donald Trump offered words of comfort and candles were lit for the fallen service members, according to one of the widows who attended.
Not all families of the six soldiers killed March 1 in the deadliest attack of the Iran war opted to attend. Troops who survived the attack have raised questions about why they were stationed at a site that didn't have sufficient air protection and was viewed as a likely target.
Michelle Tietjens and other relatives have said they are angry the Army still hasn't answered questions over whether enough was done to protect their loved ones. But Tietjens and her teenage son traveled from Bellevue, Nebraska, to attend the event to honor her husband, Master Sgt. Noah Tietjens, who was killed along with five other Army Reserve soldiers by an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.
"I decided to go originally because my son wanted to go," Tietjens said. "But then I wanted to see what it was about as well. I wanted to also go to support my husband's memory."
She said they toured several rooms of the White House and took a photo with Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump. Tietjens said the president told them that he wished he had her teenage son's full head of curly hair.

As he enters the final chapter of his life, Robert Wagner is fine-tuning his $20 million will — and a source says the actor, 96, plans to leave a portion of his fortune to late wife Natalie Wood's loved ones.
"Robert still loves Natalie deeply," the source tells Examiner. "He honors her every birthday and anniversary, so the idea of doing something for her extended family as a way to honor her memory really appeals to him."
The 43-year-old actress mysteriously drowned in 1981 during a trip on the yacht Splendour with Wagner, then 51, and her Brainstorm costar, Christopher Walken.
While the Hart to Hart actor has consistently denied any involvement in her death — and an investigation officially cleared him as a person of interest in 2022 — his actions on the night of Wood's passing have long been scrutinized.
"Robert knows that for some people Natalie's death will always be the first thing they think of when they hear his name," adds the source. "That hurts him enormously. He can't change what happened or what people think, but he can still do something positive for the people she left behind and hopefully get some closure from that himself."

US actor Tom Cruise has surprised a British man who spent a year completing a series of extreme sporting challenges to raise money for charity.
Lloyd Kembrey, a facilities manager at the University of Bristol, took on the challenges to fundraise for children's hospice charity Jessie May.
His connection to the charity was born from his twin cousins, Francesca and Josephine, who were diagnosed with the life-limiting condition Sanfilippo disease type A when they were three-and-a-half years old. Both died in their teens.
Kembrey was inspired to undertake a number of exhilarating challenges in order to honour their memory and support other families facing similar circumstances.
The challenges he faced included a 31-mile ice skating ultramarathon in Finland, climbing the height of Mount Everest on a climbing wall and a 94-mile hike along southern England's Jurassic Coast.

Prince William reminisced about his part-time job as a young boy during a visit to Skenfrith in Monmouthshire.
The 44-year-old Prince of Wales was in the small village to learn about its flood defenses ahead of the upcoming storm season.
During the visit, William met locals Rod and Helen Wyatt, who took him down memory lane, revealing they once bought a CD from the royal himself.
"First time I met you, you were this high," Rod told William, holding up his hand waist-high, according to a report from the Daily Mail published on Friday, October 2. "In Glanusk Estate – you sold me a CD from a bric-a-brac stall."
William appeared to recall the moment, replying, "Dodgy car boot sale, yes, I remember that."

Caddyshack star Michael O'Keefe, who played Danny Noonan in the 1980 film, revealed that cocaine use was rampant on set at the time and claimed that it was even included in the film's budget.
"There was some miscellaneous item," the 71-year-old actor told Page Six in a report published Friday, October 2. "It was the '70s. That's what was happening back then. People were just treating it like it was toothpaste, and you had to do it twice a day to stay healthy."
O'Keefe also confessed to doing cocaine before filming scenes for the 1980 comedy, which starred Ted Knight, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield.
"It was not my favorite memory because in retrospect I can see those moments on camera and I'm not too happy about them," O'Keefe shared.

King Charles is reportedly considering a way to bring Prince William and Prince Harry together in memory of Princess Diana. The 30th anniversary of Diana's death falls next August. A thanksgiving service for the late princess could give the brothers a chance to reunite.
According to a Daily Mail report, Charles has "raised no objection" to a thanksgiving service for Diana. The event could follow the format of a 2007 service at Wellington Barracks' Guards' Chapel. That service featured Diana's favorite music, and Harry delivered a eulogy.
The idea came as Harry considered a documentary about his mother for the anniversary. His spokesperson confirmed that the Duke of Sussex had discussed several projects, saying, "Nothing has been finalised or confirmed, and he is still considering the most meaningful way to honour his mother's legacy during this important anniversary year."
William had reportedly received offers to appear in separate Diana programs. However, he was understood to have declined them. A source said a memorial service could give him a more appropriate way to honor his mother.
"This would be an inspirational way to remember Diana," the source said. "William could celebrate his mother's life by giving a reading." The source added that the service could also "bring the brothers together."

Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of O.J. Simpson, is still remembered because of her tragic murder, a case that continues to shock people even today. Decades after the heartbreaking incident, Nicole's sister Denise Brown has opened up about the painful past and confronted the trauma that followed the O.J. trial.
Decades after the brutal murder of the late NFL star's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson's sister has now published a book in her memory. The book aims to help people experiencing domestic violence find their voice. During this, Denise Brown spoke with reporters, as per People's coverage.
According to the author, she didn't believe Nicole Brown Simpson was "a battered woman."
Denise later talked about the book, saying, "This book was written to save lives. I couldn't save Nicole, but I don't want there to be another Nicole."
In her new book, For My Sister Nicole: Love Shouldn't Hurt, Denise Brown draws from her personal history and experiences to portray the abusive relationship that, according to her, brutally ended her sister's life.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson recalled how his attempt to honor late friend Joan Rivers took a comically awkward turn.
After Joan died on September 14, 2014, at age 81, a shiva — the traditional seven days of mourning — was held in her memory. Ferguson, 50, thought he could slip over during a break in filming Modern Family.
"I got to know Joan Rivers a little bit at the end of her life, and I was invited to her shiva when she passed away," he told guest Arturo Castro on the Tuesday, September 29 episode of his Dinner on Me podcast. "There was an extra long break on either side of lunch where I wasn't needed, so I thought, 'I'm going to go to Joan's house and attend her shiva for a moment.'"
Once there, he explained, he found a "who's who of comedy," but then a text came in: Ferguson's scenes had been moved up and he was needed back in five minutes.

Ben Affleck once escaped a terrifying teenage mugging after recognizing the boys holding him at knifepoint. Years later, he learned one of those boys had killed someone and served 20 years in prison.
The actor recently revisited the encounter while reflecting on his childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What began as a frightening walk home eventually became a memory that followed him into parenthood.
Affleck shared the story during an interview with Kerry Washington on her Street You Grew Up On podcast. He recalled walking home from high school at around 15 when two boys in hoods crossed the street toward him. Affleck initially considered running but decided against it. "They pass me, grab me, take a knife out: 'Gimme your money,'" he recalled. "And I was like, 'Oh!' I was scared."
The situation changed when Affleck recognized the teenagers from playing baseball. The boys also recognized him, turning the encounter from a mugging into a strange neighborhood exchange. "So I was like, 'I guess I'm off the hook?'" he remembered. Affleck later discovered that one of the boys had taken a much darker path. "That kid who robbed me ended up three or four years later killing somebody with a knife and going to prison for 20 years," he said.
He also admitted that he never told his mother about the incident. Affleck said he avoided worrying her and now regretted keeping difficult experiences to himself. "I didn't wanna worry her. I didn't wanna scare her," he explained. That silence became especially meaningful after Affleck became a father. "You guys know you can tell me anything. Anything! I'm so cool with anything you have to say," he recalled telling his children.

SK Hynix is exploring something it has never done before: manufacturing memory chips in the United States.
Reuters reported on September 16 that the Korean memory giant is discussing several possibilities with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), including leasing part of Intel's long-delayed Ohio complex or forming a venture involving Intel and large cloud customers. SK Hynix said no specific plan has been finalized.
For Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU), the talks matter because one of its strongest strategic advantages is being the major U.S.-based memory producer while AI has made DRAM and HBM increasingly scarce.
Intel has committed enormous capital to Ohio, with the broader project potentially reaching around $100 billion over time. Delays have pushed planned production into the next decade. A tenant or joint-venture partner could therefore help Intel share the financial burden of developing the Ohio site rather than relying entirely on its own foundry demand to justify the buildout.
That is the bull case. The bear case is that exploratory talks are a long way from revenue. Bringing advanced Korean memory production to the U.S. could face cost problems, technology-transfer restrictions and objections from Seoul. Intel still needs its core manufacturing roadmap to work.

Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) fiscal 2026, which ended June 30, was arguably the strongest year in the software giant's history. Revenue grew 18% to $331.8 billion. Net income jumped 31% year over year, to $133.7 billion.
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) is approaching that number from a different direction. The memory specialist earned $8.5 billion in its fiscal 2025.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 15x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ***** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
But for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026, which ended in early September, management guided to earnings of $30.73 per diluted share, plus or minus $1.00, on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. On about 1.15 billion diluted shares, the guidance works out to about $35 billion of profit in one quarter (about four times what the whole prior fiscal year produced).
Here's my prediction: In fiscal 2027, Micron will earn more than Microsoft. That means beating the year Microsoft is now in, not the one it just reported. It's a bold call, and it relies almost entirely on the price of memory.

When President Donald Trump’s name was ordered removed from the Kennedy Center this spring, it seemed that an opening to move on from his reign over the performing arts center might have emerged.
“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” the president wrote in a late-May Truth Social post, seemingly relinquishing the control he’d seized a year prior.
Speculation even bubbled up among some of the more than a dozen “ex-officio,” board members — who don’t get a vote but are not allied with Trump — over whether the former board chairman, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, could be brought back to help restore the center’s fundraising and programming, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. (CNN has asked Rubenstein for comment.)
But after Trump said he would remain chairman, “it kind of all squelched pretty quickly,” one of the sources said. The hope that his crusade to rename a monument dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy had ended turned out to be wishful thinking.
Instead, nine months from a cold December day when cranes first placed Trump’s name on the marble façade, the institution has been brought to the brink by the president still very much engaged in a fight: lights have been turned off inside, infrastructure is crumbling and protests swirl while legal battles mount.

Choosing between a niche equipment provider and a diversified industry **** an requires balancing high growth potential against established stability. Here is how Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:AEHR) and KLA (NASDAQ:KLAC) compare for investors.
Aehr Test Systems focuses on specific stress-testing solutions for power semiconductors and memory, while KLA provides broad process control tools used across the entire chip-making industry. While they both operate in the same sector, their scale and risk profiles differ significantly, making them attractive to different types of portfolios.
Aehr Test Systems designs and sells specialized equipment for the testing and stabilization of semiconductor products in various forms, including wafers and singulated dies. The company focuses on the high-growth silicon carbide market for electric vehicles and high-bandwidth memory for artificial intelligence infrastructure. In its 2026 fiscal year (FY), which ended May 29, its five largest customers accounted for nearly 70% of net sales, and customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business.
In FY 2026, revenue reached $50.0 million, representing a decline of 15.2% compared to the previous year. This contraction followed a period of higher operating costs, resulting in a net loss of $7.1 million for the period. The net margin, which represents the percentage of revenue remaining as profit after all expenses, was -14.3% in the latest fiscal year.
As of its May 2026 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio is zero, indicating that the company has no debt relative to its shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures a company's ability to cover short-term liabilities with short-term **** ets, is 10.3x. Free cash flow, defined as cash from operations minus capital expenditures, was a negative $5.4 million for the fiscal year ended in May.
