Market Radar · 12 Oct 2026 One election in Brazil produced the week's three biggest gains.The average stock did better than the index. The equal-weight S&P 500 rose 1.6%, ahead of the S&P 500's 1.2%. The Nasdaq (NDAQ) 100, heavy in big technology shares, added only 0.2%. Brazil's first-round presidential vote put Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the more fiscally conservative candidate, ahead of President Lula before an October 25 runoff. Brazilian stocks listed in the US jumped. XP (XP), an investment platform, led, followed by Inter & (INTR) Co, a digital bank, and StoneCo (STNE), a payments company. CleanSpark (CLSK), a bitcoin miner, fell as bitcoin dropped below $81,000 and crypto stocks sold off. |

Factor spotlight ValueThe whole model is factor investing: decades of research keep finding the same measurable things behind stocks that do well, and the rank scores every US stock on them. Each week we highlight one. This week: value. Buying a business for less per dollar of what it earns and owns has paid off over long periods, partly because the market over-reacts to bad news and extrapolates gloom too far. The risk is a value trap: a stock that stays cheap because the bad news is real. | BMY Scores highest | score 100 | | Bristol Myers Squibb Co. · Drug maker | | Cheap because its two top drugs lose patents in 2028 | | OKLO Scores lowest | score 1 | | Oklo, Inc. · Nuclear reactor developer | | Worth billions, no reactor selling power yet |
