Earnings dominated the week, with all eight releases reporting quarterly results between Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, 2026. Several companies raised their outlooks. Waters Corporation lifted full-year 2026 guidance, Unisys raised its constant currency revenue growth guidance and CLEAR raised its Free Cash Flow guidance. Kyndryl reaffirmed its fiscal 2027 outlook, and VIAVI issued second-quarter guidance of $505 million to $515 million in net revenue.

Capital returns were a second common thread. Hut 8 raised its repurchase authorization to $1.0 billion, VIAVI authorized a new $500 million program, CLEAR added $175.0 million to its buyback, and Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. repurchased $55 million of stock. One-time items weighed on GAAP results at several companies: a $151 million pension settlement loss at Unisys, a $165 million class action settlement at Zillow Group, and acquisition-related charges at Waters.
