- US Stock Futures Fall As AMZN, INTC Earnings Trigger Tech Sell-Off: NVDA, RDDT, RIVN, SFM In Focus
Nasdaq-100 futures fell 2.29% and S&P 500 futures 1% in early premarket trading on Friday after Amazon and Intel results sparked a tech sell-off. Amazon shares dropped 7.1% after revenue came in below analyst estimates, with negative free cash flow of $42.4 billion and its 2026 capex projection of $220 billion unchanged. Intel plunged nearly 26% on a disappointing current-quarter forecast citing PC market weakness, while Nvidia slipped 2.7% after Bloomberg reported talks on credit guarantees for an Nscale data center that Anthropic plans to use. Reddit fell about 22% after its CEO flagged declining referral traffic, while Rivian rose over 9% after raising its full-year delivery forecast. Brent crude rose 2.21% to $117.42 a barrel and WTI 2.04% to $104.98 on supply concerns after Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia intensified.
- Amazon and Intel Plunge After Disappointing Results, Fueling Wall Street's Nerves About AI Spending
Amazon shares fell about 3% and Intel plunged more than 25% on Friday as the Nasdaq Composite dropped over 2%. Amazon reported third-quarter revenue up 12% to $201.9 billion and AWS growth of 39%, but kept its roughly $220 billion capital-spending forecast for this year, pushing free cash flow for the 12 months to September to negative $42.4 billion. Intel's revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion, driven by a 78% jump in its data center and AI business, but its forecast of $15 billion to $16 billion for the fourth quarter and continued PC weakness disappointed investors. Alphabet had fallen 13% on Thursday over heavy spending, while Microsoft remained free-cash-flow positive and avoided the initial selloff.

- Intel, Amazon Lead Tech Lower as Crypto Markets Rattled Amid $6.3 Billion Binance Hack: AlphaCheck
U.S. stocks fell on Friday, with Intel (INTC) and Amazon (AMZN) leading declines in the Technology (XLK) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY) sectors after their quarterly results. The drop followed a 12% plunge in Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) shares in the previous session. Crypto markets were also rattled after Binance reported a $6.3 billion breach, likely the largest heist in history, with Bitcoin falling to around $77,000 and Ether dropping 4% to about $2,200. Crypto-related stocks, including Circle (CRCL), Coinbase (COIN), Robinhood (HOOD) and Strategy (MSTR), also declined, while Brent crude rose 2% to near $113 a barrel and WTI climbed to $103.
- Sandisk stock slumps despite solid earnings beat. Is memory losing momentum?
Barron's associate editor Al Root joins hosts Julie Hyman and Jake Conley to discuss Sandisk's (SNDK) latest earnings and stock move. The company beat expectations on both revenue and profit, and data center sales beat again, though operating cash flow was a slight miss. The shares still fell, and the panel attributed much of the weakness to broader market moves, including Intel's sharp decline and Microsoft closing lower the previous day. Kioxia's below-estimate profit outlook, and easing growth in memory and flash prices after several quarters of rapid gains, raised doubts about how long the memory cycle will last.
- Elon Musk Thinks Many Neoclouds Will Fail. Here's What AI Investors Should Do.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk warned on October 25 that more than 200 neocloud providers could face widespread failures and consolidation as their access to financing tightens. These companies supply computing power to businesses developing and running AI models, and building that capacity requires heavy upfront spending on chips, data centers and electricity. The article notes that tighter financing could force some neoclouds to delay projects, issue more shares or sell assets, with possible pressure on computing prices. CoreWeave's revenue backlog was about $104 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026, but the author stresses that a backlog reflects expected business rather than cash collected. The author suggests investors can stay invested in AI while being selective, favoring companies that can finance their own growth and generate attractive returns.
- Tech Sell-Off Grips Wall Street as Investors Worry About AI Spending
The Nasdaq fell 2.5% when trading resumed on Friday, after dropping more than 1.3% on Thursday, as investors worried about excessive AI spending. Amazon shares fell as much as 5.9% after it reported third-quarter capital spending of $77.3 billion, above expectations, while Intel plunged 29.4% in its worst day in two years after warning it would increase spending this year. Amazon and Intel together lost about $300 billion in market value on Friday, and Alphabet suffered a record $500 billion wipe-out on Thursday over fears AI could erode its search advertising business. Goldman Sachs predicts that five AI hyperscalers, namely Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Oracle, will spend $1.2 trillion on infrastructure next year, but concerns are growing that this spending may not translate into revenue and profit. Rising oil prices added pressure, with Brent crude rising above $117 a barrel, its highest since April.
- Silver Has Lost More Than Half Its Value Since January
Spot silver fell 2.29% to $50.95, its lowest since November 2025 and about 58% below its $121.64 record set in January. The sell-off is driven mainly by expectations of Fed rate hikes: the Fed held rates at 3.75% to 4.00% with two members dissenting in favor of an immediate hike, and CME FedWatch puts the chance of a December hike at roughly 75%. Silver pays no yield, so rising rates raise the cost of holding it, and hot data, including 3.6% annual PCE inflation and 3.4% annualized third-quarter GDP growth, reinforce that outlook. Leveraged speculators and an expected 30% drop in solar-panel demand this year, according to JPMorgan, add further pressure. Silver is 25% below its 200-day moving average, but a turnaround would likely require holding $50 and December hike odds dropping well below 75%.
