Verdict: Miss
Alphabet verfehlte den EPS-Konsens in Q3 2026 deutlich. Der GAAP-EPS lag bei $2,12 (Konsens: ~$3,01–$3,02), der analyst-adjustierte/Non-GAAP-EPS bei ca. $2,67 (ebenfalls unter Konsens). Hauptursachen: (1) $8,7 Mrd. unrealisierter Verlust aus dem SpaceX-Investment reduzierte den GAAP-EPS allein um ~$0,55; (2) Google Services-Umsatz ($96,3 Mrd.) verfehlte die Schätzung ($98,4 Mrd.); (3) Operating Income ($40,6 Mrd.) lag unter dem Konsens ($43,2 Mrd.). Die Aktie fiel ~10 % im After-Hours-Handel. Laut CNBC und Yahoo Finance war es Alphabets erste Top-und-Bottom-Line-Verfehlung seit fast vier Jahren – die historische ~90%ige Beat-Rate konnte die Vorhersage nicht retten.

PLTR closed at $175.40 on November 4, 2026 (after-hours: $170.88, -2.58%; intraday high: $176.54; 52-week high: $212.94). Palantir clearly beat Q3-FY2026 EPS consensus: total revenue $2.313B, US Commercial revenue +148% YoY to $984M. The $185 threshold is +5.5% above the closing price or +8.3% above after-hours levels. Typical post-earnings 'sell the news' may weigh short-term, but the 52-week high of $212.94 confirms the level is reachable. NVIDIA earnings on November 18, 2026 could serve as a sector-wide catalyst. No direct Polymarket equivalent; own estimate: ~42%.

CBRS trades at $109.18 (October 30, 2026) — already 61% below its all-time high of $279.72. The final and largest lockup expiration is scheduled for November 10, 2026: approximately 19.4 million shares are unlocked (of three tranches of 19.4M each). Prior lockup tranches have consistently weighed on the stock. Insiders have sold ~$394.6M in shares since the May 2026 IPO — zero insider purchases. A Culper Research short-seller report has triggered multiple investigations. A close below $100 requires a ~8.4% decline — plausible given the expected supply pressure on expiration day.

ARM Holdings reports Q2 FY2027 (July–September 2026) on November 4 after market close. EPS consensus: $0.47; revenue consensus ~$1.38B (Theta Research, Oct 29). ARM is the dominant CPU IP licensor for AI servers (Neoverse), smartphones (Apple A-series, Qualcomm), and edge devices — all three segments scaling strongly in 2026. ARM has beaten EPS consensus in each of the last four quarters, driven by AI infrastructure capex. No direct Polymarket contract; analogue: S&P 500 Q3 2026 beat rate ~71%. Key risks: export control escalation (UK/US vs. China), hyperscaler capex delays, or HBM4 demand plateau.
