Most analysts remain bullish on Nvidia: 54 of 55 on MarketBeat and 59 of 62 on Stock Analysis, a range of over 95% to 98%. The average price target is $325, versus a current price of $211, implying a potential rise of about 54%. The stock is up 725% over five years but has not beaten the S&P 500 this year. Revenue in the latest quarter rose 106% to $96 billion, yet skeptics such as Apollo economist Torsten Slok argue AI spending has delivered no financial payoff outside tech. Critics also say Nvidia's demand partly depends on its investments in its own chip customers, and by one count, communities opposed to data centers have delayed 200 of them this year.

- Dell Falls 8%, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Drops 4% as Barclays Cuts Both to Hold; Super Micro Slides 5%
Barclays downgraded Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and NetApp from buy to hold, arguing there has not been a meaningful inflection in enterprise AI spending. Dell shares fell 8% to $465.31, Hewlett Packard Enterprise to $58.57 and Super Micro to $33.13, even though Super Micro was not part of the rating action. According to the article, part of Dell's revenue growth reflects higher component prices driven by a global memory shortage rather than new demand. Dell still booked a record $60.9 billion in AI server orders, ended the quarter with a $95 billion AI backlog, and raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to $192 billion. The next test is whether memory prices hold.
- Amkor Rises 4.7% on New $1.3 Billion NVIDIA Deal Highlighting the “Critical Role” of Packaging
Amkor Technology shares rose 4.7% after the chip packager said it will add capacity in South Korea for NVIDIA under a new $1.3 billion agreement, bringing its multi-year NVIDIA agreements in Arizona and South Korea to $3 billion. NVIDIA is prepaying to lock in that capacity, which the article cites as evidence that advanced packaging has become a bottleneck in the AI buildout. The prepayments ease pressure on Amkor's cash, as fiscal 2025 capex of $900 million absorbed most of about $1.1 billion in operating cash flow. Consensus normalized EPS is expected to jump 71%, from $1.50 in fiscal 2025 to $2.57 in 2026, with the third-quarter report due after the close on Oct. 26. The stock trades at about 13.9x forward earnings, below its five-year average of 16.0x, but the author notes the good news may already be reflected in the price.
- Apple could be about to dethrone Nvidia as world's most valuable company
Despite mixed reviews of Apple's new foldable Duo smartphone, Apple's stock is still drawing investor support, with a market cap of $5.08 trillion, less than 1% below Nvidia's $5.12 trillion. Nvidia has been the world's most valuable company for more than two years, but its shares are down 7.3% over the past month as investors question the health of the AI trade, while Apple is up 2.5%. The article describes Apple as a more defensive play given its focus on hardware. On the same Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite fell nearly 2.6%, its worst single-day drop since June, after Meta posted negative free cash flow for the first time since 2012 amid heavy AI spending. Dan Ives, partner at Yorkville Ives, said about 375 million iPhones have not been upgraded in over 4 years, which he believes will keep Duo demand high well into 2027.

- NVIDIA Deal Highlights Value of Tiny's Early Poolside Investment
Tiny's original US$250,000 seed investment in Poolside is now ascribed a value of about US$11.1 million (C$15.8 million), roughly 44 times the initial cost, based on NVIDIA's reported financing terms. The deal pairs a US$6 billion technology licence with a US$1 billion investment in Poolside at a US$13 billion post-money valuation. Tiny's estimate applies that valuation to its roughly 0.0854% indirect stake and excludes its separate shares in Poolside Infrastructure Company (PIC), to which no value has been assigned. Tiny says its core strategy remains majority ownership of durable, cash-generating businesses, with Poolside a small, selective minority investment.

- Microsoft offers voluntary buyout to 60,000 employees
Microsoft (MSFT) announced on Monday that it is offering voluntary buyouts to roughly 60,000 employees as it reshapes its organization for the AI era. According to reports, the offers cover staff in Canada, India, the United Kingdom and the United States at level 70 and below, including some senior personnel. It follows the company's first voluntary retirement program, announced in May, which offered packages of eight to 39 weeks of base pay depending on position and tenure. The move comes as Microsoft plans to spend $190 billion on capital expenditures in 2026, largely for AI. Its quarterly earnings, with an update on capex and Azure cloud growth, are due Wednesday.
- As Anthropic’s IPO Looms, The Company Faces A Significant Risk From A Surprising Place, Midterm State And Local Elections
Anthropic has publicly filed its Form S-1 for an IPO just days before the midterm elections, and Oxford Economics' chief U.S. economist Michael Pearce says the biggest risk to its AI data center expansion lies with state and local officials. He cites moratoriums, environmental reviews and grid-connection bottlenecks as more immediate threats than Washington. A May Gallup poll found 71% of Americans oppose data center construction near them, and the National League of Cities tracker counts at least 76 localities that have tried halts or bans. Per WSJ via investingLive, Anthropic's compute commitments exceed $600 billion, though TradingKey cites $750 billion, and the S-1 warns that delays in securing energy, water and other critical services could slow new compute.
- Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees
Microsoft said Monday it is offering voluntary exit buyouts to certain employees in the U.S., Canada, India and the United Kingdom at experience level 70 or below, with around 60,000 people eligible according to a source. The company is ramping up data center spending to meet strong AI demand while supplying cloud services to Anthropic, OpenAI and others, which has put a strain on its finances. Its first-ever voluntary retirement program, announced in April, was open to around 7% of U.S. employees. Some marketing, sales and engineering teams have chosen not to participate, and employees must decide in December, with those who take the offer leaving on Dec. 31.
- Why PagSeguro Stock Crashed Today
PagSeguro (PAGS) shares fell 26.4% as of 11:20 a.m. ET, after surging earlier this month when conservative candidate Flávio Bolsonaro led incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva 47.3% to 44.8% in Brazil's first round. Lula won the second round with 51.8% of votes to Bolsonaro's 48.2%, prompting investors to pull back from Brazil-related stocks broadly. Bolsonaro is refusing to concede and challenging the results, alleging the administration suppressed voting in key districts, though it is unclear whether the claims have merit. Several South American heads of state have already congratulated Lula, who will likely remain in office through 2030. The article notes PagSeguro trades at 7.7 times trailing earnings, with analysts expecting more than 10% annual earnings growth over the next five years, which it says makes the stock look cheap regardless of the election outcome.
- Kalshi strikes deal with S&P Dow Jones Indices to expand financial event contracts
S&P Dow Jones Indices has partnered with prediction market platform Kalshi, allowing the exchange to offer event contracts settled on official values of S&P DJI's benchmarks, and making Kalshi a preferred platform for such contracts. The two will also explore building indexes from Kalshi's prediction market data, which could track expectations on economic, political and sporting events, though no timeline was disclosed. The deal follows moves by traditional market operators into prediction markets, including Intercontinental Exchange's commitment of up to $2 billion to Polymarket in October 2025 and Nasdaq's August partnership with Kalshi on market surveillance technology. Separately, S&P Global said it completed its acquisition of blockchain security firm OpenZeppelin, with financial terms undisclosed.
- Bloom Energy Jumps 7% as Post-Earnings Selloff Reverses; FuelCell Rises 6%, Plug Power Edges Higher
Bloom Energy (BE) rose 7% to $207.61 in morning trading, recovering part of last week's post-earnings slide, while FuelCell Energy (FCEL) gained 6% to $11.83 and Plug Power (PLUG) edged up 2% to $1.41. Bloom's third-quarter 2026 results showed revenue more than doubling on demand from hyperscaler and AI data center customers, and the company raised its full-year revenue outlook for the third time this year. However, free cash flow turned negative, ending a run of four positive quarters, and CFO Simon Edwards said the cash use is “not the beginning of a trend,” tying it to inventory, contract assets and receivables built for future deliveries. The next test is whether fourth-quarter 2026 deliveries convert into cash, and Bloom stock is still trading below its pre-earnings level. Meanwhile, the Global X Hydrogen ETF (HYDR) rose 1% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) rose 0.9% to $767.13.
