Markets are entering a high-volatility window with economic data, earnings, and geopolitical headlines all colliding. I’m keeping more cash on hand and waiting for higher-conviction setups instead of reacting to every headline.

REITs and bank stock investors should also take note with recent Fed rate decision and his tone.
Chairman Kevin Warsh struck a clearly hawkish tone after the meeting:
He repeatedly said that the inflation is "still too high" and he will not accept inflation staying above 2%
He also pushed back firmly against market hopes for rate cuts and ruled out any plan to raise or soften the inflation target
Barclays has called the current outcome a "hawkish pause" and this will likely make markets price in a higher chance of rate hikes ahead.
Hence bad for REITs and good for bank stocks.

Below is Dolphin Research's compiled earnings call Trans for $Starbucks(SBUX.US) FY26Q3. Core info recap — Results: Q3 consolidated net revenue came in at $9.3bn (-1% YoY), with the decline mainly driven by China retail moving this quarter to a new JV-licensed structure.
Global comps rose 7.9% YoY, with sequential improvement. Transactions were up over 4%, marking the fourth straight quarter of positive global comps. Consolidated OPM was 14.4% (+430bps YoY)...
SBUX 3Q26 First Take: In the fourth quarter of its transformation, the company finally translated top-line momentum into earnings power. Comps, margins, and EPS all beat, and full-year guidance was raised.
1) Overall: reported revenue edged down, but underlying ops accelerated. In 3Q26, SBUX posted revenue of $9.32bn (-1.4% YoY; cons. $9.12bn), with the decline entirely from China deconsolidation as revenue recognition shifted from company-operated to royalties and product sales only.
Excluding this reporting change, operations clearly accelerated: global comps jumped 7.9%, well above the 5.4%–5.7% range, with traffic +4.2% and ticket +3.5%.
Non-GAAP EPS was $0.85, up 70% YoY.2) North America: ticket took the baton from traffic. North America revenue reached $7.40bn (+7% YoY), lifting mix to 79% of total.
Comps rose 8.1%, with traffic +4.4% (roughly flat), while the real acceleration came from ticket, up from +2.6% to +3.5%, driven by delivery, food attach, and beverage mix upgrades; list pricing contributed little.
Operational tailwinds from store relocations and longer hours appear to have plateaued.
The store base continued to contract, ending at 18,371 with net closures of 14.3) Intl: revenue halved but comps beat. Intl revenue was $1.32bn (-34% YoY), fully due to China deconsolidation (company-operated -50%, licensed +21%).
Comps rose 5.7% (vs. 4.1% est.), mainly because China’s lower-price market, which had dragged ticket, was excluded from the comps base.4) Profitability continued to repair: on one hand, Smart Queue and new equipment reduced order backlogs and improved peak throughput. On the other, China formally shifted to an asset-light JV model, taking the G&A ratio down from 7.2% to 6.4%.
Non-GAAP OPM reached 14.4%, up 430bps YoY (vs. 12% est.).
Guidance: 4Q US comps set at 6.5%+. Full-year US comps 'slightly above 6.0%' and global 'near 6.0%' (prior: 5%+).
The company also introduced a Non-GAAP OPM target 'above 11.0%'. For more details, stay tuned for Dolphin Research’s detailed take and call Trans. $Starbucks(SBUX.US)Top movers: $Lam Research(LRCX.US) $Starbucks(SBUX.US) $Fortinet(FTNT.US)
