▼ + stars: | 2024-11-04 | by ( Darla Mercado | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Uncertainty is the key theme for markets on the eve of Election Day, but fixed income investors say there are a few opportunities to snap up solid yield even as the market holds its breath. "We are constructive on fixed income as a whole, despite these uncertainties, and we're stressing to investors that yields are really quite attractive – and the income generation we can get from fixed income right now is quite powerful," Persson added. On the municipal bond side, offerings include the iShares National Muni Bond ETF (MUB) , which has a 30-day SEC yield of 3.35%. Vanguard also has its Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (VTEB) , with a 30-day SEC yield of 3.4%. The iShares MBS ETF (MBB) has a 30-day SEC yield of 4.01% and a net expense ratio of 0.04%.

Amazon shares jumped 7% on Friday and neared an all-time high after the company reported better-than-expected earnings, driven by growth in its cloud computing and advertising businesses. Revenue increased 11% in the quarter to $158.9 billion, topping the $157.2 billion estimate of analysts surveyed by LSEG. Sales in the Amazon Web Services cloud business increased 19% to $27.4 billion, coming in just shy of analysts' estimates, according to StreetAccount. That was an acceleration from 12% a year ago, but trailed growth at rivals Microsoft and Google , where cloud revenue increased 33% and 35%, respectively. The midpoint of that range, $185 billion, fell short of the average analyst estimate of $186.2 billion, according to LSEG.

On Tuesday alone, retail traders were net buyers of Trump Media to the tune of $14.4 million.

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta Platforms Inc., arrives for the Meta Connect event in Menlo Park, California, US, on Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024. Meta is slated to report third-quarter earnings on Wednesday after the close of regular trading. Meta's results come a day after digital ad companies Alphabet , Reddit and Snap all reported solid quarterly earnings. Microsoft reports after the bell on Wednesday, and the big week for tech earnings wraps up on Thursday, when Apple and Amazon report quarterly financials. If Meta hits analysts' expectations for third-quarter revenue, that would represent 18% year-over-year growth, down from 23% a year ago.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-30 | by ( Shubhangi Goel | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Snap's revenue growth was attributed to AI features and growth in Snapchat+ users. Spiegel said Snap has also introduced AI tools for creators, which it has been pushing to onboard onto the platform recently. However, Snap projected that the current quarter will only see the number of users grow by 8 million to 451 million. Related storiesPaid subscribers and AI are boosting SnapThe CEO also attributed the revenue growth to paid subscriptions. Snap's 443 million user base is small compared to Meta's 3.3 billion users, and TikTok's more than 1 billion users, both of which it directly competes with for ad revenue.
