Boeing locked Korean Air into a $36.2 billion order spanning 737 MAX, 787-10, and 777X variants, but no deliveries arrive until the early 2030s.
Lockheed Martin posts steady profits while Boeing burns cash lifting production rates, carrying $600 million in quarterly interest expense that pressures GAAP results.

Boeing (NYSE:BA) confirmed a firm Korean Air order for the stretched 737 MAX, 787-10, and 777X in passenger and freighter variants, valued at $36.2 billion. Deliveries begin in the early 2030s.
These aircraft were previously logged as unidentified orders from a commitment announced last summer, so this is existing backlog getting a customer name rather than fresh demand.

Whirlpool already cut its dividend 49% then skipped a payment entirely, while KHC's yield is inflated by a 55% decade-long price collapse with frozen payouts since 2019.
IEP's 29% yield masks two prior cuts and a 68% cash drop year over year, while UPS's quarterly operating cash flow fell $469 million short of its dividend payout.
A collapsing share price mechanically inflates yield, making high-yield stocks look attractive precisely when the underlying business is deteriorating most.

Yield is a promise, not a payment. When a stock advertises a payout that looks two or three times the market average, it usually means the market has already decided something is wrong. The screen below flags six US-listed names where the numbers behind the yield show real strain: shrinking cash flow, stretched coverage, or a share price that collapsed and inflated the yield mechanically. None of these companies has announced a cut. Each has warning signs a retirement-focused reader should understand before buying the yield.

IBM raised its quarterly dividend a single penny, from $1.68 to $1.69, marking its 31st consecutive increase but delivering just $0.04 more annually to shareholders.
Microsoft grew its quarterly dividend from $0.13 to $0.98 since 2010, making it the stronger pick for investors seeking real income growth over IBM's 2.83% yield.
IBM's dividend appears safe, with $14.7B in free cash flow comfortably covering its $6.3B payout, though capital is flowing toward acquisitions, $62B in debt, and quantum computing bets.

Markel mirrors Berkshire's three-engine model of insurance, equities, and operating businesses, with $18.84 billion in float and $429.5 million in 2025 buybacks, but its $22 billion market cap makes it a fundamentally different species.
Markel's combined ratio improved to 94.6% in 2025, yet shares are down 17% year to date while trailing Berkshire's 10-year return by 155 percentage points.
Three signals determine the Markel thesis: whether the combined ratio holds in the low 90s, buybacks sustain pace, and Markel Ventures remains inside the group.

Amgen (AMGN) yields 2.6% with a $10.08 annualized payout, topping Merck (MRK) at 2.29%, and has raised its dividend 6% annually versus Merck's smaller step-ups.

SEIC provides investment processing, management, and operational platforms for private banks, financial advisors, institutional investors, and financial managers. SEIC's second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed revenue of $641.6 million (a 14.7% year-over-year gain), adjusted per-share earnings of $1.66 (a 38% rise), $207 million in operating income (a 36% jump) – all of which were quarterly records – and the company has nearly $400 million in cash for more growth ahead.
It's no wonder SEIC shares are up 28% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock
Institutional volumes reveal plenty. Over the last year, SEIC has enjoyed strong investor demand, which we believe to be institutional support.

Elon Musk's ***** eX has been talking, internally, about buying the leftover customer files of startups that already went under. Not licensing data from companies that are still operating and can say no. Buying the digital estate of companies that no longer exist to say anything at all.
The discussions are happening inside ***** eXAI, the artificial intelligence division born in February when ***** eX merged with xAI. People familiar with the talks told Bloomberg they're informal and might go nowhere. But the idea makes sense from the perspective of an AI lab racing for the frontier.
The goal is basically cheap fuel for Grok. AI models learn from training data—the text, code, and records an algorithm studies to get better at predicting what comes next—and the good stuff, real business records instead of scraped web pages, is getting expensive. A dead company's file cabinet is apparently a bargain by comparison.
Google already did the same. The search giant paid $10 million in a bankruptcy auction for the internal records of Spirit Airlines, the discount carrier that shut down for good this year. They got around 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams messages, decades of employee files, all headed into an AI training pipeline.
That data belonged to real employees who signed up for a job, not an AI experiment. A flight attendants' union objected in bankruptcy court, arguing that scrubbing names off records—what companies call "de-identifying" data—doesn't stop someone from piecing together who said what in a decade of internal chats. The court fight is still ongoing.

Every time Silicon Valley's biggest names line up behind a single message, someone eventually asks who benefits from such universal agreement. This time, that someone was the investor best known for calling the housing crash before almost anyone else saw it coming.
Michael Burry has spent the past year building a reputation as one of the AI industry's loudest skeptics. His latest target is not a stock but a story. When three of the sector's most powerful executives suddenly agreed the technology needed to slow down, Burry saw the timing as less about caution and more like a self-serving pitch.
Burry has spent much of 2026 building short positions against companies tied to the AI trade, disclosing bets against Nvidia, Tesla, Micron, Applied Materials, Caterpillar and a leading semiconductor ETF, according to TheStreet.
On September 14, Burry published a post on X and on his Substack, Cassandra Unchained, arguing that people should take a moment to understand how self-serving it is for OpenAI, Anthropic and other big hyperscaler executives to talk about slowing things down. The post circulated quickly across financial media, Yahoo Finance reported.

SPCX trades at $151.89, up 5.86%, as Musk claims next-gen V3 satellites will push Starlink's total bandwidth 100x above today's levels.
Musk argues that even if revenue per bit drops tenfold, the V3 upgrade still produces a 10x increase in Starlink's total revenue.
Starlink's ARPU has already fallen from $85 to $66, and roughly 1,000 V3 satellites must launch before service meaningfully improves, expected Q2 next year.

Elon Musk used a post on X to argue that the next generation of Starlink satellites now beginning deployment will eventually push the constellation's total bandwidth to more than 100 times what the roughly 11,000 satellites currently in orbit deliver today.

Still, it is the kind of claim that reframes how you think about the biggest revenue engine inside the business.

AI poster-child Nvidia (NVDA) has jumped 14% year to date, but the ride's been noticeably ******* py according to Seeking Alpha data.
The stock's down nearly 6% in just one week and around the same amount over the past month, a pullback that has coincided with fresh questions over whether the breakneck AI buildout could finally lose momentum.
Consequently, that debate followed calls from some of the biggest names in AI to slow the development of frontier models for safety reasons. But on his latest "Mad Money" broadcast from Dreamforce, veteran ******* yst Jim Cramer made clear he's viewing Nvidia stock through a very different lens.
That's not hard to fathom because Nvidia continues giving bulls ammunition. Fiscal Q2 revenue more than doubled to $96.2 billion, with its Data Center business reaching $89 billion, as it pushes deeper into enterprise AI, including Salesforce's (CRM) new Koa reasoning model built on Nvidia Nemotron.
Cramer's takeaway after a sit-down with CEO Jensen Huang was hardly cautious, though. Instead of treating the latest AI scare as a reason to jump in and out of Nvidia, he framed the stock as something investors need to hold through the noise instead of trade.

Nebius Group (NBIS) bounced 5% Wednesday but remains down 21% over the past month, raising the question of whether sellers have finally exhausted their case.

Most Federal Open Market Committee members see the need for at least one more 25 basis point rate hike this year, as 12 out of 18 members that submitted projections pegged their view of appropriate monetary policy in 2026 at an average of 4.125%.
That rate implies one more 25 basis point hike to come by year-end.

Four committee members see 50 more basis points' worth of rate hikes in 2026 as appropriate, while only two members see no more hikes this year — suggesting that the new effective target rate of 3.75% to 4% is adequate.

In July, Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella surprised AI stock investors with an uncomfortable way to think about what they were buying into.
As I wrote for TheStreet in "Microsoft CEO adds fuel to Palantir CEO's AI warning," Nadella argued that companies weren't merely paying for tokens. Moreover, they were feeding outside models the prompts, corrections, and institutional knowledge that eventually make those systems useful for their users.
"You essentially pay for intelligence twice, once with money, and again with something even more valuable," Nadella wrote in his July essay.
Days later, that warning became a central part of Palantir's bull case. Now, two months on, Palantir and Nvidia, two of the biggest names in the AI ******* e, are starting to act on it.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp pushed the argument further, which I covered in "Palantir CEO escalates Microsoft's AI warning."

As the artificial intelligence revolution shifts from experimentation to industrial scale, choosing between Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ:CBRS) and CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) presents a unique choice for investors seeking infrastructure growth in 2026.
Cerebras builds massive chips designed to accelerate intensive workloads, while CoreWeave offers specialized cloud services for those same tasks. Both companies have seen rapid growth as businesses scramble for computing power, making them key names to watch among semiconductor stocks and infrastructure providers.
Cerebras Systems focuses on a single, bold hardware proposition: the Wafer-Scale Engine. This processor is the size of an entire silicon wafer, designed to train complex models much faster than traditional clusters. The company serves enterprise, government, and high-performance computing customers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. While its latest annual report does not disclose specific major customers, its global reach continues to expand as it targets large-scale research and national security projects.
