Inflation is easing, yet nearly half of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck, with 26% of households struggling to cover necessities. This issue spans income levels, affecting both low and high earners, as rising costs and interest rates strain budgets. Experts suggest debt reduction and automatic savings to improve financial stability.
Starbucks reported disappointing quarterly earnings, with net income falling to $909.3 million and revenue of $9.07 billion, missing analyst expectations.

Patient demand showed mixed results, with outpatient visits up 3.8% YOY but down 6.4% from August to September.
Novo Nordisk has confirmed that all doses of its GLP-1 medications, Ozempic and Wegovy, are now available in the U.S., ending a shortage that began in March 2022.

The company has invested significantly in manufacturing capacity to meet the high demand driven by the drugs' effectiveness in weight loss and reducing health risks.
UBS Group AG reported a strong third quarter in 2024, achieving net income of $1.4 billion and an underlying pretax profit of $2.4 billion, with assets under management rising 15% to $6.2 trillion.

Tenet Healthcare reported strong Q3 2024 results, with net operating revenues of $5.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $978 million, reflecting 15% year-over-year growth. The company raised its full-year adjusted EBITDA forecast to between $3.9 billion and $4 billion, despite lower revenue expectations due to hospital divestitures. Tenet remains focused on strategic investments and operational efficiencies, anticipating robust demand in 2025, particularly in its Hospital segment.
All doses of Novo Nordisk's weight loss drug Wegovy and diabetes treatment Ozempic are now available in the U.S., following efforts to address previous shortages.

However, patients may still face challenges in filling prescriptions at specific pharmacies.
