One Supreme Court Case Could Mess Up Chunks of the Tax Code
WASHINGTON—A case that could punch holes in the federal tax code heads to the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The court will hear arguments in Moore v. U.S., which challenges a piece of the 2017 tax law that imposed a one-time levy on profits that companies had accumulated outside the U.S. But its implications could reach much further, providing the justices an opportunity to define what Congress can tax under the Constitution—and what it can’t. Charles and Kathleen Moore argue that when the law passed, they hadn’t realized income from their investment in an India-based company and thus couldn’t be taxed.

Obesity Drugs Have Multi-Billion-Dollar Market Potential, Says Oppenheimer — Here Are 2 Stocks to Take Advantage
A key to success in the stock market is a touch of foresight. Not quite precognition, but an ability to spot and put together clues and trends, to discern the ‘next big thing’ before it hits. This is true in every stock sector, but today we’ll focus on biotech. The biotech firms have famously high product lead times, paired with equally high overhead expenses; it’s a combination that would make them unlikely investments, except that when a drug is approved, it can turn into a blockbuster.

Alaska Air Reaches Deal to Buy Hawaiian Airlines
Alaska Air reached a roughly $1 billion deal to buy Hawaiian Airlines a combination of two nearly century-old rivals that are dwarfed by the biggest players in a time of travel upheaval.

The airlines will retain their separate brands, but said together they will have broader reach, connecting Hawaii to three times as many destinations in the continental U.S. and giving Alaska Air a new hub in Honolulu for flights to Asia.

These Stocks Are Moving the Most Today: Uber, Coinbase, Spotify, Hawaiian Holdings, and More
Stocks were on track to slip lower on Monday, pausing after a rally driven by optimism that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates multiple times next year. Economic indicators are in focus, with U.S. factory orders for October due Monday—but the spotlight falls on Friday, when the closely watched U.S. jobs report for November will be released. Investors want to see signs that inflation and growth are waning sufficiently to encourage the Fed to cut rates—but not waning so much as to prompt broader concerns over the health of the economy.
