"The way research is being done on Wall Street is changing."

New AI model to bring in? Another data source to add? One more tool your teams want to use?
Now multiply that across an enterprise.
When each new addition requires its own custom integration, the infrastructure can quickly become as much of a challenge as the technology itself.
That’s the bigger idea behind Model Context Protocol (MCP): not another connector, but a common standard for how AI communicates with the systems around it. Models, data, and tools can work through the same protocol instead of requiring a different integration for every combination.

What does "governed data" actually look like in practice?
Here's @FactSet's MCP server connected inside @Databricks Playground: 13 tools exposed to the model, covering fundamentals, estimates, ownership, supply chain, M&A, RBICS, calendar events, and more, plus a parallel multi-tool wrapper for running several lookups in one pass.
The model doesn't have to guess which dataset holds an answer or scrape a page and hope the numbers are current. It calls a defined tool, gets a structured, point-in-time response, and that response is traceable back to its source.
This is the layer that sits between "agent framework" and "trustworthy output": a governed set of callable tools, not a general-purpose crawler.
Curious how this fits into the rest of the stack? Our latest blog breaks it down: bit.ly/4B4hukz

‣ Office REITs kicking off Q3 results, with SL Green (SLG) and Brandywine (BDN) AMC today, with Kilroy Realty (KRC) AMC tomorrow.

• Interest rate headwinds the big area of focus, with recent backup in yields leading to some downgrades, broad target cuts, across the group. Commentary on refinancings, deleveraging, as well as development/construction debt facilities, and impacts to disposition plans, yields.
• Leasing CapEx, concessions, also flagged as attention turns to FFO growth versus SSNOI, with tenant incentives having hindered inflections, accelerations, in the bottom-line metric.
AI jobs impact also highlighted in terms of additional color around tenant commentary, demand/sizing of space.

🚀 $SPCX Street Takeaways - SpaceX Q3 Earnings ($158.22 +$10.43)
Overview:
• Shares +7.1%. Revenue +161% y/y beat by 13.3%. All three segments ahead on the top line and adj. EBITDA. Adj. EBITDA EPS also ahead by $0.22/169%. GM 520bps above consensus. Adj. EBITDA margin 890bps above. CapEx +185% y/y to $19.59B vs SA $18.06B.
• Q4 CapEx guided $35-40B vs FactSet $19.76B. Q1 2027 revenue guided $33-37B vs FactSet $22.23B.
• On the call Elon Musk says Tesla and SpaceX have formed special committees to explore potential merger at the request of shareholders.
• Analysts notably positive on the results and outlook. While all segments were ahead of expectations the primary focus was on AI, or the newly renamed segment Superintelligence SI. Increasing GPU spot rates highlighted with new deals at >$50/watt indicate a payback period below one year as management thinks below six months is plausible by next year. Total compute 2026 target lifted to 2.5GW from 2.0GW at year end with an incremental 10GW in 2027 and an internal goal of 20GW. Capacity adds in 2027 likely skew toward H2 on timing of Vera Rubin deliveries.
