- U.S. Stock Futures Point Higher as AI Developments and Earnings Support Market Recovery: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street
U.S. stock futures pointed higher on Tuesday as investors weighed AI developments, including Anthropic's public IPO filing and an expanded Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Meta (NASDAQ:META) partnership in which Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta, which is seeking up to $95 billion in equity financing. In premarket trading, JetBlue (NASDAQ:JBLU) rose 13.9% despite a larger-than-expected third-quarter loss, Corning (NYSE:GLW) advanced after beating estimates, and Whirlpool (NYSE:WHR) fell 7.2% after weak results and a cut to its full-year revenue guidance.

- A Repeat Of 'Black Monday' Would Send The S&P 500 Down More Than 1,500 Points And Wipe Out More Than $13 Trillion In Stock Market Value
The article calculates that repeating Black Monday's 20.47% S&P 500 decline from Friday's close would erase about 1,568 points, leaving the index near 6,092, and roughly $14.0 trillion in market value, and it stresses this is simple arithmetic rather than a prediction. On Oct. 19, 1987, the Dow closed 508 points lower and estimated worldwide losses reached $1.71 trillion, amplified by computer-driven portfolio insurance and program trading. The Fed then injected $17 billion of liquidity to steady markets. The S&P 500 fell 1.1% to 7,659.44 on Friday but is still up 11.9% this year, and warnings about an AI bubble have come from Michael Burry, strategist Joachim Klement and the IMF.
- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq wobble after sharp tech sell-off
US stock futures wobbled on Friday as worries over the AI trade lingered after a steep tech sell-off sparked a flight to bonds. Dow futures fell 0.2% and S&P 500 futures dropped 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were little changed after semiconductors and Big Tech sold off Thursday. Concerns over rising financing costs and a possible slowdown in capex weighed on neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave (CRWV), with Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD also retreating. Oil stayed near a five-month high, with Brent touching $113 per barrel and WTI near $100 per barrel. Yahoo Finance reported that Tesla's (TSLA) surprise $5 billion cut to capex plans has not shaken confidence in a large Cybercab network, with Morgan Stanley analyst Andrew Percoco's modeling assuming a fleet of 5 million by end-2040.

- Applied Digital Insiders Just Bought More Shares. Should You Join Them?
Applied Digital’s CEO and president combined to buy $6.7 million of shares on Oct. 16, as the stock fell more than 30% over the past month. The company builds AI data centers, and CoreWeave is among its largest customers under 15-year leases worth up to $11 billion in revenue for 400 megawatts, or $1.83 million per megawatt annually. Revenue rose 322% year over year to $341.9 million in its fiscal 2027 first quarter, though the company remains unprofitable as costs climb. The author argues the colocation model and long-term, low-value contracts limit Applied Digital compared with Nebius, which signs short-term deals at $40 million to $50 million per megawatt a year. The author concludes the stock looks oversold, but pure neoclouds are a better way to approach the opportunity.

- Amazon's EPS Is "Absolutely Exploding," Says Josh Brown. Here's What the Stock Needs to See October 29
Amazon (AMZN) reports third-quarter results after the close on Thursday, October 29, with its forward P/E at 28x, near a five-year low and well below its five-year average of 49x. Normalized EPS rose from $2.90 in 2023 to $7.17 in 2025, and analysts expect $13.37 in 2028. The stock has lagged this earnings growth amid concerns over AI infrastructure spending: Amazon expects about $220 billion of capex this year, free cash flow was a $7.6 billion outflow over the 12 months to June 30, and long-term debt doubled to $128.9 billion in the first half of 2026. The article says the report needs to show AWS growth near Q2's 37% (up from 17% a year earlier), an AWS operating margin holding near 39.4%, and operating income at or above its $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion guidance.
