London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is a UK-based financial markets infrastructure company offering data, analytics, and consensus estimates via Refinitiv.
On April 30, 2026, reporting first-quarter results, Hershey CEO Kirk Tanner said Ice Breakers retail sales rose over 8%, citing GLP-1 adoption as one tailwind. His wording puts the drug in a list of functional snacking tailwinds, so its share of the gain is unmeasured.
Reality
CoreWeave, which has never turned a profit and carries about $50 billion of debt per LSEG, has seen its shares and bonds tumble. An explainer links the slide to a wider tech selloff, though IG's Axel Rudolph puts the doubt in funding.

ASML said on Oct 14 that its 2027 and 2028 supply will not fully meet demand even after planned 30% capacity increases in both years. Some customers are also asking to order for 2029 and 2030, which ASML calls interest, and it gave no count or value.

CMC Markets, a FTSE 250 trading platform, agreed a multi-year LSEG data deal covering pricing, reference data, corporate actions, news and analytics. It is pitched at new products, new markets and institutional and B2B growth.

Brent futures slipped 1.6% to $103.01 a barrel in thin Monday trade as Trump's Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire met continuing Gulf strikes on shipping and airports. The drop is roughly $1.70 on a holiday-thinned session, a narrow basis for any view on supply.

Delta Air Lines cut its full-year earnings forecast to $5.10-$5.60 a share from $6.50-$7.50 after its third-quarter fuel bill rose 62% to $4.1 billion. With fares already up about a quarter and seat growth speeding up, rivals have less room to pass on the next fuel increase.
Reality
LSEG expects US chipmakers' third-quarter profit growth to slow to about 136% from 158% while S&P 500 earnings rise about 31%. Analysts have raised that quarter's forecast at half their earlier pace since July, so the AI earnings carrying the index are losing speed.
Reality
Samsung Electronics is expected to post 108.1 trillion won of third-quarter operating profit, nearly nine times last year's, in guidance due Thursday. With foundry, chip design and phones all losing money, that figure now moves with memory prices and the won.

Marvell raised its fiscal 2028 revenue target to about $20 billion, up from $18 billion in August and $16.5 billion before that. Chief executive Matt Murphy credits most of the gain to connectivity products such as 1.6T optical signal processors, while data center sales, 79% of revenue, still rest on a handful of hyperscaler budgets.

LG Energy Solution expects third-quarter operating profit to rise 25.7% to 756 billion won, or 339.1 billion won without US tax credits. Analysts cited by Channel NewsAsia trace the beat to a one-off payment from an automaker that missed its purchase minimums, a sign of weak EV demand.

Fast Retailing posted a fifth straight year of record profit as overseas growth overcame a weak yen. Its North American and European stores outsold Greater China for the first time, the company said, yet it guides net profit up just 3.2% next year.
Reality
France's borrowing premium over Germany has widened to its highest since 2012, SCMP reported, as fiscal worries build before next year's election. Handelsbanken's FX strategist says the euro's weakness now comes partly from French politics, on top of a dollar lifted by a Fed leaning hawkish.
Reality
S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at records as the 10-year Treasury yield slipped 3.2 basis points to 5.279%. Stocks and yields have risen together for months and profits are forecast up 30.6%, so earnings look like the bigger force under the index.
Reality
US payrolls grew by 29,000 in September against a 90,000 forecast, cutting market odds of an October Fed hike to 15% from about 25%. A December hike is still fully priced, so traders moved the date of the next rise and kept the rise itself.
Reality
Accenture plans $5 billion of acquisitions in fiscal 2027 while guiding for revenue growth of 3% to 6%. At the fourth-quarter run rate the budget tops the revenue that range adds, so the stock's case rests on how much of the growth is organic.

Nike now expects fiscal 2027 revenue to fall after $11.21 billion in first-quarter sales missed estimates and Greater China sank 26% currency-neutral. Its Pace overhaul adds about $300 million of charges this fiscal year, with role cuts from 2027 and savings stretching to 2031.

Wednesday's print is the first real test of Nvidia's hyperscaler-versus-everyone-else disclosure. On consensus numbers, the mix barely moves.
Reality
The first year-ahead forecast in Nvidia's history implies about $673 billion in fiscal 2028, roughly $103 billion above consensus, and hands every capacity planner a figure to hold it to.

OpenAI says its new ChatGPT for Financial Services pairs built-in financial data with GPT-6 Astra reasoning for research, modeling and client materials. The announcement does not say where that data comes from.
Reality
OpenAI's financial-services ChatGPT arrives with market data licensed from the vendors banks already pay, and without a published price the buy-or-keep comparison cannot be run. Its own benchmark still misses about three answers in ten.
