GameStop surges after the White House shares its post celebrating “Halo” availability on PlayStation for the first time

GameStop is surging in premarket trading after the official White House account shared one of its posts on X this weekend along with a comment.

On Saturday, the gaming and collectibles retailer declared an end to the so-called “Console Wars” after Microsoft said that next year’s “Halo: Campaign Evolved” will be available on PlayStation, the first time a title from this video game series will be available on the competing console.

That post was then reshared by the White House’s official account on Sunday night, along with an image of President Donald Trump as the military sci-fi series’ protagonist (a genetically engineered super-soldier), and the phrase “Power to the Players,” GameStop’s tagline.

Fubo climbs as Disney merges the platform with Hulu Live TV

Shares of streamer FuboTV are surging on Wednesday, after Disney announced it completed its majority stake acquisition of the company.

Fubo will be merged with Hulu Live TV, creating a juggernaut virtual pay-TV company rivaling YouTube. With about 6 million subscribers, the program will also become the sixth-largest pay-TV operator in the US. According to the companies, Fubo and Hulu Live will also continue to be available as separate services, “each offering consumers multiple plan options from skinny to robust at compelling price points.”

Disney now owns 70% of the joint venture. As part of the deal, which was first announced in January, Fubo dropped its lawsuit against Disney, which sought to block its planned joint sports streaming venture, Venu Sports. Venu was dissolved within a week after the deal. Fubo shares closed up more than 250% on the day the deal was first announced.

As part of the transaction, Fubo will have access to a $145 million term loan from Disney next year.

Caterpillar soars on Q3 earnings beat and better-than-expected outlook

Caterpillar jumped Wednesday morning after the construction equipment giant delivered strong third-quarter results and an upbeat full-year outlook.

Adjusted earnings per share reached $4.95, topping Wall Street’s estimate of $4.53. Meanwhile, revenue rose 10% to a record $17.6 billion, coming in well ahead of expectations around $16.8 billion.

Caterpillar’s Energy & Transportation unit was a standout, with sales up 17% as demand for power generation equipment used in data centers helped push the company’s backlog to a record $39.8 billion.

On the call, management said the results position Caterpillar “for sustained momentum and long-term profitable growth,” citing stronger demand tied to cloud computing and AI-driven infrastructure. Caterpillar now expects “modestly higher” sales for the full year, including a strong fourth quarter, after analysts had previously forecast a decline.

The stock is now up more than 63% year to date.
