This could not have been timed more dreadfully.\u00a0 Just ask owners of Google (<\/span><b>GOOGL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), a top-rated <\/span><b>5 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(strong buy) stock at what our model told us was a reasonable valuation.\u00a0 It declined 11.7% last week, bringing its October price change down to -17.2%. This took its year-to-date price change all the way down to -11.2%, after it had closed September with a modestly positive year-to-date price gain.\u00a0 What a difference a month can make.\u00a0 Its report caused a chain reaction among tech stocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Trade ValuEngine supported portfolio strategies,<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.valuenginecapital.com\/\"> <b>www.ValuEngineCapital.com<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a robust Q3 (calendar-wise) earnings reporting season characterized by widespread positive surprises, technology stocks have been aggressively beaten down as investors focus heavily on soaring capital expenditure and slowing monetization timelines.The selling pressure intensified as an after-effect of the negative Wall Street reaction to Elon Musk\u2019s high-theatrics &#8220;flying car&#8221; Tesla Roadster demonstration, which stoked broader concerns that top tech leadership is prioritizing speculative, regulatory-blocked sci-fi projects over immediate core profitability. This technical pullback in major growth companies has dragged index heavyweights like Alphabet down by double digits, forcing institutional desks to aggressively re-evaluate entry boundaries, and separate temporary valuation compression from structural weakness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is an updated chart of how the market has performed quarter-to-date (just October thus far) and year-to-date in 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Current ValuEngine reports on all covered 5000+ stocks and ETFs can be viewed <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/valuengine.com\/dashboard\/login\"><b>HERE<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Company Name<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Ticker<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Constant<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>4th QTD Price Change<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>YTD Price Change<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Forward P\/E<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Dividend Yield<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>S<\/b><b>tate Street SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P 500 ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SPYM<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-1.08%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.65%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22.3x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.32%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QQQM<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-6.95%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12.64%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26.5x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.61%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VTWO<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.11%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12.28%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15.8x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.54%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P 400 Mid Cap ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SPMD<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.83%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.42%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16.2x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.15%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VTV<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.22%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18.26%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17.2x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.09%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VUG<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-5.73%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.97%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">34.7x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.34%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SCHD<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9.55%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">29.03%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16.5x<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.42%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF &#8211;

The October tech dive of -9.3% was a major hit on the Technology Select Sector SPDR (<\/span><b>XLK<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0 It entered the month as the top performing ETF year-to-date among the 11 Select Sector SPDRs sponsored by StateStreet.\u00a0 It has now yielded that lead to Energy (<\/span><b>XLE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), given the latter\u2019s gain of nearly 12% for the month.\u00a0 <\/span><b>XLE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s year-to-date return of 53% is now more than double <\/span><b>XLK\u2019s <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24%.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Relative Strength: Cyclical, high-yield, and defensive sectors\u2014specifically Energy, Utilities, and Healthcare\u2014continue to display prominent relative strength, pocketing significant capital inflows as investors seek immediate fundamental visibility and dividend protection.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Seasonality: As the calendar flips to November, the probability of the market switching gears into a broad rally is historically high. November has fundamentally been one of the strongest price-change months of the year, a phenomenon that is particularly amplified during midterm election years. Historically, getting past the policy uncertainty of the early-November midterms triggers a &#8220;post-election pop&#8221; that has seen the market rise in the vast majority of midterm cycles once legislative visibility clears.\u00a0 We\u2019ve checked in with Stock Trader\u2019s Almanac CEO Jeff Hirsch, an authority in technical and calendar trading patterns.\u00a0 His calculations agree that November should be a very strong month for stocks.\u00a0 Given that, high-Beta tech stocks should do well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Historically, Wall Street treats Washington gridlock as a net positive for risk assets. When neither party can pass sweeping regulatory overhauls, aggressive anti-trust enforcement, or major corporate tax changes, policy volatility drops. This structural stalemate eliminates macro wildcard risks, allowing institutional capital to confidently re-engage and refocus entirely on core corporate fundamentals.\u00a0 However, the stunning results of election night mean that this expected result will not be the case. This new information means more uncertainty regarding how investors and the markets will see the new political map with Democrat control of both House and Senate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As pointed out last week, a market focused on corporate earnings and projected earnings growth is the environment in which the ValuEngine ranking system has truly shined historically.\u00a0 This is what we hope for regardless of who controls the three branches of government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four major tech stocks are poised to report earnings this coming week.\u00a0 They include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
