The growth was primarily fueled by the <strong>Automotive<\/strong> segment, which rose 13% to <strong>$2.07 billion<\/strong>, and <strong>Industrial &amp; IoT<\/strong>, which jumped 39% to <strong>$802 million<\/strong>. Despite the beat and a new <strong>$5 billion share repurchase authorization<\/strong>, the stock faced pressure in after-hours trading as investors reacted to a <strong>Q4 revenue guidance<\/strong> midpoint that sat slightly below Wall Street&#39;s expectations.<\/p>\n<h2>Waste Management Hits Revenue Targets Amid Integration Costs<\/h2>\n<p>Waste Management (<a href=\"\/stock\/WM\">WM<\/a>) reported Q3 2026 operating revenue of <strong>$6.85 billion<\/strong>, edging past the <strong>$6.82 billion<\/strong> estimate. However, adjusted EPS of <strong>$2.15<\/strong> fell just short of the <strong>$2.18<\/strong> analyst target, weighed down by approximately <strong>$50 million<\/strong> in pre-tax charges related to the integration of <strong>Stericycle<\/strong> and landfill closures. The company reaffirmed its full-year <strong>adjusted operating EBITDA guidance of $8.15 billion to $8.25 billion<\/strong> and expects total revenue to land at the high end of its <strong>$26.28 billion to $26.48 billion<\/strong> range.<\/p>\n<h2>Anthropic Pivots Toward AI-Driven Drug Development<\/h2>\n<p>AI powerhouse <strong>Anthropic<\/strong> has acquired <strong>Mithril Medicine<\/strong>, a single-employee firm focused on rare disease programs, to further integrate its <strong>Claude AI<\/strong> models into the life sciences sector. The acquisition highlights Anthropic&#39;s ambition to move beyond software, as it also announced partnerships with giants like <strong>Bristol Myers Squibb (<a href=\"\/stock\/BMY\">BMY<\/a>)<\/strong> to streamline clinical trial planning. This strategic expansion comes as the company prepares for a landmark <strong>$75 billion IPO<\/strong>, positioning itself as a &quot;Powerful AI&quot; leader in highly regulated industries.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy Markets: Crude Draws and UK Policy Shifts<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>American Petroleum Institute (API)<\/strong> reported that U.S. crude inventories fell by <strong>2.031 million barrels<\/strong> for the week ending October 23, surpassing the expected <strong>0.8 million barrel<\/strong> draw. While the drawdown indicates steady demand, it was notably smaller than the previous week&#39;s <strong>4.93 million barrel<\/strong> decline. Simultaneously, in the UK, <strong>Chancellor John Healey<\/strong> is expected to announce a <strong>\u00a350 reduction<\/strong> in household gas bills in his first budget, a move aimed at easing the cost-of-living crisis by restructuring fixed standing charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) reported strong Q3 2026 revenue of $3.79
