what happened
According to Market Talk, United Airlines grew third-quarter traffic by 0.7% despite a 62% rise in fuel expense. The company is trying to offset those costs with higher prices, and premium revenue climbed 17% while basic economy revenue rose 16%.
Netflix guides to a fourth-quarter operating margin of 26.0%, including roughly 120 basis points of impact from recent layoffs, and trims its full-year margin outlook by about 30 basis points. The cuts affect around 1,000 positions. Asia-Pacific revenue rose 15% to $1.54 billion. Morgan Stanley expects Spotify's audiobook expansion to reach more than 180 markets.
SpaceX posted a profit in its second-ever earnings report, with third-quarter capital expenditures of $19.59 billion. The Federal Aviation Administration certified Boeing's 737-10, allowing deliveries of the largest 737 MAX model to begin.
why it matters
Demand in air travel and streaming is holding up despite higher prices and cost pressure, which supports revenue but squeezes margins. Investors are watching Spotify's Thursday earnings and Netflix's commentary on engagement.
