Five smaller stocks with market caps above $100 million beat MRNA’s monthly gain: INDP rose 249%, CYPH 124%, MNOV 85%, GRAL 58% and SRZN 53%.

The prediction needs no richer valuation -- just one more year of double-digit earnings growth after 2027.

You own Coeur Mining (CDE), and on September 23 the stock fell 5.7% while the S&P 500 slipped 0.7%. The worry is whether to sell before it falls further. Here is what is known. Coeur's last quarterly report showed record revenue, driven in large part by two recently acquired mines, New Afton and Rainy River. The real question is whether those two mines catch up to plan, and what you could lose while they try.

Treasury yields resumed their march higher amid inflation concerns.

Everpure (P) grew revenue 38% from a year earlier in fiscal Q2 2027, and management expects that pace to last for some time. The stock costs 144.1 times its past year of earnings, against 22.4 for the S&P 500. Two things must hold. Customers must keep paying far higher prices, and Everpure must keep getting parts at costs it can absorb. Is the cost of Everpure's parts already climbing.

The Nasdaq Composite was also flat, ending 0.01% in the green. Yields for the 10-year Treasury were lingering at their highest level since 2007, while yields for the 7-year note reached their highest level since 2009. Several factors were driving yields higher, including rising oil prices, the anticipation of more hawkish Fed policy, and weak demand at yesterday’s Treasury auction, notes Angelo Kourkafas, senior global strategist, investment strategy, at Edward Jones.

An analyst upgraded his recommendation on the specialty REIT.

The S&P 500 closed nearly unchanged, but under the surface, breadth collapsed as yields surged and Oracle flagged AI-buildout strain.

Expedia (EXPE) stock fell 7.7% on September 23, leaving it about 24% below its August 24 high of $339. Yet the company's latest results beat its forecast, and over the past 12 months the stock has still returned about 17%, roughly in line with the S&P 500. So how far could Expedia go in a real market shock.

Booking (BKNG) turns 35% of its sales into operating profit, against 18.6% for the S&P 500. Yet its stock lost 29% in the year to September 23, 2026, while the index returned 13%. Booking expects third-quarter 2026 revenue to grow just 4% to 6%. The question you face is whether that slower growth is a pause or Booking's new pace. Start with what the current price already asks you to pay.

Meta shares are experiencing their strongest monthly surge in over a decade, driven by strong consumer adoption of its new Muse AI assistant.

Autodesk (ADSK) has one fast-growing business in an industry that still uses little technology. That matters because the stock has fallen. Autodesk shares lost 33% over the past year as of September 23, 2026, while the S&P 500 returned 13%. A business like that could change how investors value the whole company. So which business is it, and is there proof it is working.

With the S&P 500 trading at stretched valuations, one lesser-known ETF takes a completely different approach to generating income, one that doesn't depend on stocks continuing to climb.

SPY looks dirt cheap at a fraction of a percent, but a hidden structural quirk quietly siphons money from long-term holders in a way the fund's own fact sheet never spells out.

McDonald's (MCD) has a pricing problem in the United States, its second-largest business. Its value menu of 10 items for under $3 each has not delivered what management expected. The shares lost 19.3% over the past year (as of September 23, 2026), while the S&P 500 returned 13%. The fix is not settled, because it depends on franchisees charging the prices McDonald's recommends.

Growth stocks dominated for years, but 2026 has handed dividend ETFs an unexpected edge, and three funds yielding over 3% are proving the rotation is real. The question is whether you own the right one for what comes next.

Airbnb (ABNB) shares fell 21% in the month to September 23, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8%. A $10,000 holding at the start of that month was worth about $7,860 at the end. Airbnb's own news over those weeks does not explain it, so the fall needs a different explanation.

On Sept. 24, 2026, the security software maker beat Q2 estimates and raised its full-year outlook, citing automotive design wins and 26% revenue growth.

Fox (FOXA) has drawn fresh attention after a sharp rebound, with the stock up 24.1% over the past 3 months and outpacing the S&P 500. Short term momentum has cooled, with Fox’s share price down 7.6% over the past month after a 30.9% gain across three months. Longer term total shareholder returns of 7.3% over one year and 114.1% over three years point to a stock where sentiment has shifted over time as investors reassess both growth potential and risk in light of Tubi’s expansion and ongoing...

Stock markets mostly fell and oil prices climbed on Thursday as US Treasury bond yields hit multi-year highs, driven partly by a lack of progress in ending the Middle East war.But the benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level since 2007, and the 30-year yield reached its highest since 2004 as oil prices jumped.

Market leadership has rarely felt this concentrated, with Apple and Nvidia together now carrying more than 15% of the S&P 500 and pulling a tight circle of suppliers into the spotlight. That kind of focus can magnify both upside and risk, which is exactly why investors are watching every product launch and guidance update so closely. This article walks through three stocks closely exposed to that story, and why each one could matter for your portfolio. The stocks below are just a starting...

International Business Machines (IBM) stock fell 12% over the past twelve months, while the S&P 500 gained 16.5%. The easy read is that the bad news is already in the price. By management's account, its second quarter of 2026 fell short of expectations mostly because tens of large deals slipped, after clients moved budgets toward servers, storage and memory. So how much could IBM still make you over three years, and what has to go right.

Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a dynamic week in which the S&P 500 held modest gains despite poor breadth and surging Treasury yields. Strong flash PMI data fueled inflation worries, while Meta's new AI agent Muse sparked a fresh disruption trade across wealth managers, brokerages, and travel names. Oil prices swung sharply on shifting Middle East diplomacy headlines all week. President Trump and Xi Jinping met at the White House extending their trade truce through January while easing broader market jitters. Looking ahead, next week brings PCE inflation data, key earnings from Nike and Micron, and OpenAI's anticipated Dev Day.

The S&P 500 is close to its record high, but a bearish chart pattern and weakening momentum could complicate the path higher.

Pulling your money out of the market during a rough patch is the surest way to miss out on the biggest gains.

Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) shares fell 10.4% in the past year, while the S&P 500 returned 16.5%. Much of the market has focused on moderating U.S. procedure growth. The more telling number is 144 trade-ins in fiscal Q2 2026, up from 83 a year earlier. Most came from customers moving to the new da Vinci 5 robot. Those trade-ins matter most if upgrades continue and each surgery also earns more. Is that number a blip, or are customers still trading up.
