US MBA mortgage applications fell -0.3% in the week ended October 17, with the purchase mortgage sub-index down -5.2% and the refinancing sub-index up +4.0%. The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage fell -5 bp to 6.37% from 6.42% in the prior week.
The markets are focusing on progress in US-China trade talks, as President Trump reiterated his threat on Monday to boost tariffs on Chinese goods "if there isn't a deal" by November 1. President Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in South Korea.
The shutdown of the US government continues into its fourth week, weighing on market sentiment and delaying key economic reports. The government shutdown means delays in the release of government reports, including the last three weeks of weekly initial unemployment claims and the September payroll report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said the September consumer price report, which was initially scheduled to be released last Wednesday, will be released this Friday. The White House has warned that if the government shutdown lingers, it would trigger widespread dismissals of employees in government programs that don't align with President Trump's priorities. Bloomberg Economics estimates that 640,000 federal workers will be furloughed during the shutdown, which would expand jobless claims and push the unemployment rate up to 4.7%.
The markets this week will focus on earnings results as the Q3 earnings season continues. Rising corporate earnings expectations are a bullish backdrop for stocks. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, 85% of the S&P 500 companies that have reported so far have beaten forecasts, on course for the best quarter since 2021. Also, more than 22% of companies in the S&P 500 that have provided guidance for their Q3 earnings results are expected to beat analysts' expectations, the highest in a year. However, Q3 profits are expected to have risen by +7.2% y/y, the smallest increase in two years. Also, Q3 sales growth is projected to slow to +5.9% y/y from 6.4% in Q2.
The markets are pricing in a 97% chance of a -25 bp rate cut at the next FOMC meeting on Oct 28-29.
Overseas stock markets are lower today. The Euro Stoxx 50 is down -0.43%. China's Shanghai Composite closed down -0.07%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -0.02%.
Interest Rates
December 10-year T-notes (ZNZ5) today are down -3 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is up +1.0 bp to 3.972%. Supply pressures are weighing on T-notes as the Treasury will auction $13 billion of 20-year T-bonds later today. Losses in T-notes are contained due to the ongoing US government shutdown, which could lead to additional job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a weakened US economy, potentially allowing the Fed to continue cutting interest rates.
European government bond yields are mixed today. The 10-year German bund yield is up +1.6 bp to 2.568%. The 10-year UK gilt yield dropped to a 6.5-month low of 4.369% and is down -5.5 bp to 4.422%.
UK Sep CPI rose +3.8% y/y, unchanged from Aug and weaker than expectations of +4.0% y/y. Sep core CPI unexpectedly eased to +3.5% y/y from +3.6% y/y in Aug, weaker than expectations of +3.7% y/y.
ECB Vice President Guindos said, "The current ECB interest-rate level is adequate as the path forward for inflation looks positive," and risks to the outlook for consumer-price growth are balanced.
Swaps are discounting a 2% chance for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at its next policy meeting on October 30.

Netflix (NFLX) is down more than -9% to lead losers in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 after reporting Q3 EPS of $5.87, well below the consensus of $6.94.

Stocks Slide on Weakness in Chipmakers

Pre-market futures are flattish at this hour, but with a downward bias. The Dow is coming off a record closing high Tuesday, and Q3 earnings reports released yesterday afternoon did not quite have the positive sheen we’ve seen elsewhere this far into earnings season. The Dow is currently down -9 points, the S&P 500 is +3, the Nasdaq -38 and the small-cap Russell 2000 is -9 points at this hour.
Fed Governor Michael Barr will make a couple of appearances later today — one week ahead of the next monetary policy decision from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Thus, we’re also closing in on the “blackout period,” where Fed members keep mum on their opinions about the state of the economy. Nearly 100% of analysts believe another 25 basis-point (bps) rate cut is in the cards for next Wednesday, which would take the Fed funds rate down to 3.75-4.00%.
Q3 Earnings Ahead of the Bell: T, TMO, GEV & More
AT&T T reported Q3 earnings ahead of today’s open, missing on its bottom line by a penny to 54 cents per share. Revenues in the quarter were similarly short, -0.81% from estimates to $30.71 billion. Shares are down -1.6% at this hour on the news; the stock is still up +13% year to date — basically in-line with the S&P 500.
Medical equipment major Thermo Fisher TMO posted beats on both top and bottom lines for its Q3 report this morning, with earnings of $5.79 per share well ahead of the $5.50 in the Zacks consensus. This amounts to a positive earning surprise of +5.27%. Revenues topped expectations by +2% to $11.12 billion in the quarter. Shares are up +2% on the news this morning, but still underperforming the S&P year to date.
A day after GE Aerospace GE strongly outperformed estimates, its energy-oriented spinoff GE Vernova GEV came out with a mixed picture in Q3: earnings of $1.64 per share missed the Zacks consensus $1.78 by -7.87% (though much higher than the 35 cents per share reported a year ago), on revenues of $9.97 billion — +8.62% higher than anticipated. Shares are up another +3.8% on the news, adding to the boffo +78% growth year to date.
Canadian metals company Teck Resources TECK had perhaps the strongest Q3 earnings report of the morning, with earnings of 55 cents per share surpassing the 39 cents projected by +41%, on revenues of $2.46 billion which surged past the Zacks consensus by +14.3%. This is perhaps a less familiar stock to track, but with rare earth negotiations with China remaining a sticking point, Teck may find itself with a higher level of relevancy.
What to Expect from Today’s Stock Market
Big Q3 earnings reports are expected after the closing bell today, including Tesla TSLA, which is expected to fetch negative earnings per share to the tune of -26.4% year over year, but +5% on revenues. Shares have rebounded somewhat from their much-maligned levels in early April, which was right around the time CEO Elon Musk was seeing his White House tenure coming to an end. Shares are +9.6% year to date, but flat ahead of today’s open.
We’ll also get IBM IBM earnings after today’s close, with the international tech giant looking to add to its +28% gains since the start of the year. Earnings are expected to come in +6% higher, with +7.57% on the revenues side for the quarter. Also, Southwest Airlines LUV fights a tough year-over-year comp, staring down -93% earnings growth in the quarter on +1.44% expected in revenues.

Q3 Earnings Bonanza Pulls a Flat Pre-Market: T, TMO, TSLA, etc.

Shares of Constellation Energy Corporation (CEG) have rallied 79.2% in the past six months compared with the Zacks Alternative Energy – Other industry’s growth of 48%. CEG continues to add clean energy to the grid through its efficient operation of nuclear plants and by extending the lives of existing plants through new licenses.
CEG’s shares have also outperformed the Zacks S&P 500 Composite and the Zacks Oil-Energy sector in the past six months.
Price Performance (Six months)
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
GE Vernova Inc. (GEV), another company operating in the same industry, has gained 80.7% in the past six months. The company is focused on developing and deploying nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors like the BWRX-300, which is becoming popular and poised for rapid growth.
Constellation Energy is currently trading above its 50 and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), signaling a bullish trend.
Both 50 and 200-day SMAs are key indicators for traders and analysts to identify support and resistance levels. It is considered particularly important as this is the first marker of an uptrend or downtrend of stocks.
CEG 50 & 200 Day SMAs

Should investors add CEG to their portfolio solely based on its recent price gains? Let us take a closer look at the key factors that can help determine whether now is the right time to consider CEG stock as a potential addition to your portfolio.
Drivers Behind Constellation Energy’s Steady Performance
Constellation Energy is capitalizing on the growing demand for clean energy through its diverse portfolio, led by the extensive nuclear fleet. With a strong focus on zero-carbon power generation, the company’s nuclear assets underscore its leadership in reliability and sustainability, achieving an impressive 94.8% capacity factor in second-quarter 2025.
Constellation Energy’s earnings growth is supported by its strategic investments and commitment to expanding the renewable portfolio. The company plans to invest about $3 billion in 2025 and $3.5 billion in 2026, with roughly 35% allocated to nuclear fuel acquisition to ensure reliable, clean power generation.
The company is strengthening its nuclear operations. CEG is broadening renewable assets, enhancing portfolio diversity and positioning itself for sustained growth in a cleaner, more sustainable energy market.
Constellation Energy reinforces its role as a trusted energy partner by combining zero-carbon power with energy efficiency solutions that boost customer loyalty. The company offers behind-the-meter technologies and efficiency upgrades designed to help customers optimize energy use and achieve greater sustainability.
Constellation Energy’s emphasis on Power Purchase Agreements (“PPA”) aligns with its mission to deliver carbon-free energy. The company is expanding its PPA portfolio with major corporations, including 20-year nuclear energy agreements with Meta for the Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois and with Microsoft for the restart of the Crane Clean Energy Center, formerly Three Mile Island Unit 1.
Constellation Energy’s Earnings Surprise History
Constellation Energy’s earnings are consistent, visible and easy to calculate. It is expected to increase over time through returns on organic growth, PTC inflation and share repurchases. The company has reported positive earnings surprises in the last four reported quarters.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Another firm, Duke Energy Corporation (DUK), also produces a large volume of clean energy from its nuclear units. Duke Energy’s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed in one, resulting in an average surprise of 3.12%.
CEG Stock’s Earnings Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CEG’s 2025 and 2026 earnings per share has increased year over year by 8.07% and 25.77%, respectively. Long-term (three to five years) earnings growth of the company is pegged at 16.2%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Duke Energy’s 2025 and 2026 earnings per share has increased 7.29% and 6.07%, respectively.
CEG Increasing Value of Shareholders
Constellation Energy continues to make share repurchases. It has repurchased shares to raise shareholders’ value. Constellation Energy increased its dividend by 150% in the first two years. It targets dividend growth of 10% annually in future years. Constellation Energy’s quarterly dividend is 38.78 cents per share at present, resulting in an annualized dividend of $1.55.
Since 2023, CEG’s board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of its outstanding common stock. As of June 30, 2025, there was approximately $540 million of remaining authority to repurchase shares of the company's outstanding common stock. Check CEG’s dividend history here.
CEG Stock Returns Better Than Industry
Constellation Energy’s trailing 12-month return on equity of 21.61% is better than the industry average of 8.01%. Return on equity, a profitability measure, reflects how effectively a company utilizes its shareholders’ funds to generate income.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
GE Vernova’s trailing 12-month return on equity is 13.23% which is also better than its industry.
CEG Stock Trades at a Premium
Constellation Energy is currently trading at a premium compared with its industry on a forward 12-month P/E basis.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Summing Up
Constellation Energy is strategically positioned to benefit from the surging demand for clean energy across its service regions. The new PPAs signed by the company will also act as tailwinds. Backed by strong generation capacity, the company is well-prepared to meet this increasing energy need efficiently and reliably.
The existing shareholders stand to benefit from ongoing dividends, share repurchase programs and increasing earnings projections, all of which contribute to the company’s strong financial outlook.
Constellation Energy is currently trading at a premium, so the new investors should wait a little longer before adding this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock to their portfolio.

GE Vernova Q3 25 Earnings Conference Call At 7:30 AM ET

Tuesday, October 21, 2025
Markets moved through the day roughly flat — actually, more like a reflection in the pond: while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were modestly on either side of the zero-balance, the Dow finished the session up +0.47% and the small-cap Russell 2000 was -0.49%. The Russell is still off last week’s highs, even as it outperformed the other major indexes in the past couple trading days.
Bond yields are tacking down slightly — +3.96% on the 10-year and +3.46% on the 2-year — which makes sense when we price in another interest rate cut mid-next week. But it’s really Q3 earnings season that’s driving the bus, with mostly better-than-expected results ahead of today’s opening bell.
Q3 Earnings Roundup After the Bell: NFLX, TXN, MAT
We can’t really say the same for the companies reporting after today’s close; challenges are seeing guidance numbers lower on the bottom end at a couple choice firms with Q3 figures out this afternoon.
Netflix NFLX missed earnings expectations by more than a dollar — $5.87 per share versus the Zacks consensus $6.89, though still above the year-ago $5.40 per share. An unexpected expense related to a dispute with tax authorities in Brazil cut notably into operating margin, leading to the earnings miss. Revenues of $11.51 billion were slightly below the $11.52 billion estimate.
Shares are down -5% on this news, ending its streak of 6-straight quarterly earnings beats. But on the conference call, Netflix may speak on some possible acquisitions, including European Champions League soccer match broadcasts. Less likely, but still possible, is whether Netflix may be in the bidding to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery WBD, which has put itself up for sale earlier today.
Texas Instruments TXN shares are jumping around following its Q3 earnings report after today’s close, but are currently down -7% at this hour. Earnings of $1.48 per share beat the Zacks consensus by a penny, on revenues of $4.74 billion — bettering the $4.65 billion anticipated and +7% quarter over quarter. But a lowering bottom-end of guidance on both earnings and sales next quarter has taken some of the wind out of its sails.
Mattel MAT shares are -5% after being down double digits as an immediate reaction to the Q3 report. Earnings of 89 cents per share missed the $1.05 in the Zacks consensus, on $1.74 billion in quarterly sales which came up short of the $1.81 billion expected. Adjusted gross margins fell year over year, and although the company did not cite tariff realities as the culprit, they would stand to reason. Guidance remained in-line and the company expects a strong holiday season.
What to Expect from the Stock Market Tomorrow
Once again, we will not see any new economic reports on Wednesday, but plenty of earnings releases before and after the bell. AT&T T and GE Vernova GEV report ahead of the open and Tesla TSLA, IBM IBM and Southwest Airlines LUV following the close. As we see in today’s after-market reports, tariff-beholden companies may have a tougher time beating estimates than the early Q3 reports from the biggest Wall Street banks.
