- This is the Cheapest Mag 7 Stock Right Now
A Zacks Value Investor podcast, featuring editor Tracey Ryniec, compares valuations across the Magnificent 7 stocks. Tesla is described as the most expensive on a forward P/E basis at 215, and with shares down 22% year-to-date it is the worst performer in the group; Zacks ranks it #4 (Sell) ahead of its upcoming earnings report. Apple trades at a forward P/E of 36 and a price-to-sales ratio of 10.7, a historically high valuation, yet its shares are up 26% year-to-date at record highs, the best in the group. Amazon is up 8% year-to-date versus 11.8% for the S&P 500, with earnings expected to rise 81.6% in 2026 and a forward P/E of just 19.6, which the podcast says is the lowest Amazon has traded at on a P/E basis historically.
- Apple Now Trades at Twice Nvidia’s Forward P/E
Apple closed October 19 at $342.94, just below its 52-week high of $348.15, while NVIDIA closed at $217.09, about 11% under its peak of $243.37. The two companies are worth about $5.00 trillion and $5.24 trillion, but Apple trades at 37 times forward earnings versus 18 times for NVIDIA, roughly 2.1 times the multiple. Apple’s June-quarter revenue rose 16.36% against 105.85% for NVIDIA’s latest quarter, and analysts expect NVIDIA’s EPS to rise from 9.3124 this fiscal year to 15.9146 next year. Apple’s iPhone revenue grew 22% to $54.3 billion, but management guided September-quarter growth of 9% to 11% and gross margin pressure from memory costs. The author argues Apple carries more risk because its 37 multiple has more room to contract if growth slows, while NVIDIA’s discount reflects doubts about cloud spending, custom chips and China.
- Trump’s $330 Million White House Ballroom Donor List Reveals Nvidia, Apple and Google Among Top Tech Contributors: Report (UPDATED)
According to the Washington Post, the donor list for President Trump's White House ballroom project reportedly links companies and individuals to federal contracts, policy decisions and a presidential pardon. Nvidia and Apple each pledged $25 million, Google committed $22 million, and Microsoft and Palantir each pledged $10 million. The private campaign collected $333 million, including at least $77 million from anonymous donors, and 57 donors pledged at least $100,000. One highlighted case is Isabela Herrera, who pledged $2.5 million, while her father was pardoned by Trump in January 2026. The project has faced legal challenges; the Supreme Court allowed construction to proceed on Aug. 31, with Trump targeting completion in 2028.
- The $5 Trillion Club: Which Is the Better Stock to Own, Apple or Nvidia?
Apple and Nvidia are the only two companies to have reached a $5 trillion market cap. The article argues Nvidia offers more upside than Apple but carries more risk. Nvidia's revenue is projected at nearly $412 billion in fiscal 2027, up from nearly $27 billion in fiscal 2023, and the company forecasts another 70% growth next year, driven by demand for AI infrastructure. It trades at 13.5 times forward earnings on fiscal 2028 estimates, versus 36 times for Apple's fiscal 2027, while Apple's EPS is projected to rise from $6.11 to $8.83, a 45% increase on 21% revenue growth. The author warns that a major slowdown in AI infrastructure spending would hit Nvidia hardest.
- Own VGT? Here's How Much of It Is Really Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and Broadcom.
The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) is a passive index fund holding 318 technology stocks. Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Broadcom together made up about 49% of the fund's assets as of Sept. 30. The fund has averaged 15.03% annual returns since its January 2004 inception, with 24.7% over 10 years, 20.9% over five years, 35% over three years and 35.2% over the past year. VGT does not hold Alphabet, Amazon, Meta or Tesla because they are not classified as information technology under its benchmark. The article notes that investors worried about this concentration could instead buy an S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 ETF for broader diversification.
- Vanguard's Growth ETF Has Returned About 18% a Year for a Decade. I'd Plan on Much Less Through 2030.
The Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (VUG) trades near $90, up about 10% this year and roughly 3% below its October 6 record close of $92.64. The fund has averaged about 18% annual returns, including reinvested dividends, over the past decade, but now trades at about 37 times the earnings of its holdings. Its top 10 holdings make up about 63% of assets, led by Nvidia at 12.6%, Apple at 11.7% and Alphabet at 10.3%, while the stocks have grown earnings about 32% a year over the past five years. The author forecasts earnings growth of about 15% a year and a P/E ratio falling to 30, which would take a $10,000 investment to roughly $15,000 by December 31, 2030, before dividends; if earnings grow 12% and the P/E drops to 28, the figure would be about $12,500.

- Tesla Just Put a $158 Billion Price Tag on Elon Musk’s Pay for Last Year
Tesla's proxy filing puts Elon Musk's 2025 pay at $158,359,009,867, all in stock awards valued at grant date under accounting rules, and Musk has received no cash or vested shares from it. Most of that figure is a performance award covering about 423.7 million shares, valued at maximum, which pays out only when both market-cap and operational milestones are met and shares are held for five years. Tesla shares rose 3.76% to close at $368.06, giving a market cap of $1.45 trillion, but are still down 18.16% for the year. Shareholders vote on pay and board members at the December 3 meeting, while second-quarter operating margin of 1.4% and non-GAAP EPS of $0.33 versus a $0.5367 estimate make the October 21 third-quarter report a key test for long-term owners.

- Investors pledge 230 billion euros at German summit: Merz
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said major companies at an economic summit hosted by his government pledged about 230 billion euros ($258 billion) in investment. Amazon committed 16 billion euros, the government has a partnership with Nvidia, and Schwarz Group, Blackstone, Microsoft and Sanofi also made unspecified commitments. The two-day summit, attended by more than 200 corporate leaders, aims to draw more foreign money into Europe’s largest economy, which has struggled with sluggish growth; growth is projected at 1.3% for 2026, driven mainly by public investment. Merz pledged to cut bureaucracy, speed up approvals and improve infrastructure, while business leaders have grown impatient with the slow pace of reforms.
- Nike Now Yields More Than Procter & Gamble and Twice as Much as Coca-Cola. Is It the Most Overlooked Dividend Stock? Here's the Clear Answer.
The author notes Nike yields 4.4%, above P&G’s 2.7% and Coca-Cola’s 2.2%, but this high yield mainly reflects a falling share price, with a quarterly dividend of $0.41 per share. Nike is in a turnaround, with fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue down 4% to $11.2 billion, net income down 2% to $712 million, and guidance for a high-single-digit revenue decline. The stock has dropped 41.6% in 2026 and 76.7% over five years, and if sales keep falling, the dividend’s sustainability could be questioned. The author would avoid Nike for now and favors Coca-Cola and P&G instead, which are up 34.3% and 11.1% this year, respectively.
- Chinese Tech Giants Order $35 Billion In Compliant Nvidia Chips
Two sources told Reuters that ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards from Nvidia, worth over $35 billion at about $11,400 each. The workstation chip is less powerful than the H200 and B300 data center chips, but it is among the most powerful Nvidia chips Chinese buyers can still obtain. Nvidia may not fill all orders: partners might get only 5% to 10% of what they asked for, total Chinese orders have topped 6 million cards, and one source said Nvidia could make no more than 3 million cards globally in 2027. Early samples are expected in December, with commercial deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2027, mainly for AI inference. Nvidia blamed outdated US export controls and China's own limit on US imports, and its outlook does not include any China data center compute revenue.
