• Sinking AI stocks undercut markets worldwide as oil climbs to its highest price since May

  AI-related stocks slid worldwide on Thursday, with the S&P 500 down 1.4% toward its worst day since July and the Nasdaq composite tumbling 2.8%, even though most U.S. stocks rose. Worries about the cost of borrowing to build data centers and buy chips, along with high prices after a yearslong rally, dragged down names such as Lam Research (down 11.6% despite a slight profit and revenue beat), Meta (down 7.9%), Nvidia (down 4.3%) and CoreWeave (down 11%). South Korea's Kospi fell 3.5% in Asia, while Brent crude rose 3.7% to $112.80 a barrel, its highest in five months, amid uncertainty over when the global energy industry will normalize after the Iran war. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.96% from 5.13% as investors sought safer assets, even as a report suggested the U.S. economy may be doing better than expected. Profit beats from Procter & Gamble, Lockheed Martin and CSX helped limit the broader market's losses.

• Meta and Google are about to have a consumer AI showdown

  Meta (META) and Google (GOOG) are heading for a showdown over consumer AI assistants, a race to control the next dominant tech platform. Meta's Muse, which launched last month as the first popular AI agent for everyday users, has hit a download milestone, but cautious users may wait for Google or Apple (AAPL) given how much trust is needed for emails, calendars and wallets. Bank of America analysts said Google is well positioned with proprietary models, custom silicon and broad distribution, and a competitive agent or broader Gemini 4 launch could be catalysts. The two firms account for more than half of global digital ad revenue, yet AI agents could move users away from the screen-phone-app model that underpins those businesses.

• Meta vs. Alphabet: Meta Is Better Built for AGI

  The Motley Fool compares Alphabet and Meta using its AIball scores, which measure how exposed a company is to AI and how much upside it has, and concludes Meta is better built for AGI. Roughly 98% of Meta's 2025 revenue came from ads that reach people while they chat or scroll, activities AI agents are unlikely to take over, and its average price per ad rose 12% in Q2 2026. Alphabet's search ads are more exposed because AI assistants can answer queries and act on them directly. However, Alphabet's TPU chips and Google Cloud, which brought in $20 billion in Q1 2026 and serve nine of the top 10 AI labs, give it a strong AI chokepoint position. Its cloud gains could still outweigh pressure on search ads if outside developers cannot get enough rival chips and power.

• Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know

  Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.

• CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?

  Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.

• Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates

  ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.

• Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election

  Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.

• Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'

  Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.

• Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues

  Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
