Similarweb Appoints Michael Akkerman as CEO
Similarweb announced that its board of directors has appointed Michael Akkerman as Chief Executive Officer, effective November 2. Akkerman succeeds Founder and CEO Or Offer, who, as previously announced in May, is stepping down after close to two decades leading the company. Akkerman, who "brings nearly 20 years of C-level and senior operating leadership across digital advertising, data, and technology businesses," currently serves as Chief Business Officer of Digital Turbine (APPS), the company noted. Or Offer, Founder and outgoing CEO of Similarweb, said, "I've spent almost 20 years building this company, and I couldn't be prouder of where we stand today - a business that has successfully navigated its transition into the AI era and is well positioned for its next phase of growth. I am proud to hand the reins to someone with Michael's caliber, expertise, and energy. He has the experience and the track record to carry Similarweb forward, and I look forward to supporting him through the transition."

Stocks Fall as Fed Raises Rates, S&P 500 Drops 0.45%
Stocks fell toward their lowest levels since July as the Federal Reserve signaled the possibility of further policy tightening after raising rates for the first time since 2023. Equities erased gains, with the S&P 500 dropping 0.45% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing over 1% after the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to increase the benchmark rate to a range of 3.75% to 4%. The Fed's "dot plot" that signals members' view of the outlook for the path of monetary policy suggests one more hike may be coming this year.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.

Stocks Inch Higher as Markets Assess Rate Hike Impact
Stocks inched higher on Wednesday morning, pausing the week's pullback as markets assessed how the economy may fare against higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points later today, although the summary of economic projections - or "dot plot" - is likely to show a fragmented FOMC as uncertain outlooks spark disagreements on policy and forward guidance. Hawkish concerns were further stoked with the release of strong retail sales and soaring import inflation figures this morning.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.

Similarweb and NIQ Collaborate to Enhance Agentic Commerce Measurement Strategy
Similarweb (SMWB) and NIQ (NIQ) announced a collaboration to enhance NIQ's Agentic Commerce Measurement strategy. As leaders in digital and consumer intelligence, the companies are collaborating on a new solution to help brands, retailers and technology platforms understand how products are purchased in an increasingly agentic economy. The work adds a measurement component to NIQ's Commerce Intelligence strategy, focused on deploying NIQ's world-class, AI-ready content directly into agentic commerce workflows and equipping brands and retailers with the signals they need to react effectively. NIQ is bringing together its product intelligence, consumer behavior data and retail sales measurement to deliver a comprehensive view of consumer behavior across both traditional and emerging AI-driven discovery environments. Similarweb will provide the foundational digital data, adding visibility into AI-driven consumer behavior inside generative AI platforms and along the agentic path to purchase. Together, these capabilities will connect AI-driven discovery to measured sales outcomes, allowing brands to improve product visibility, strengthen content, increase conversion and drive growth. An initial version of the solution will be available in Q4 2026, beginning with a focused set of categories and markets and expanding over time.
