- Intel vs. Nvidia: Flat Trends vs. Rapid Expansion in Revenue
Intel grew revenue 25% in its latest quarter, far behind the 106% year-over-year rise Nvidia posted in its most recent quarter. Intel has begun installing specialized production tools at a new Arizona facility and faces a major lawsuit before the U.S. Supreme Court over the management of its employee retirement investment plans. Nvidia committed $1 billion over five years to independent scientific research and expanded its share repurchase authorization by $150 billion. The article notes that Nvidia faces charges of circular financing, while Intel's 18A process and improving foundry outlook could signal that its revenue struggles are ending. Intel trades at 59 times forward earnings versus 23 for Nvidia, and the article argues Nvidia's faster growth at a lower valuation still stands unless Intel's rebound continues or the financing concerns materialize, in which case investors would need to revisit the comparison.

Erste Group raised its fiscal 2027 EPS forecast to $1.59 from $1.56.

Intel shares rose 1.7% on Friday, trading as high as $87.87 and last at $86.96, versus a prior close of $85.49. Mid-day volume was 71,560,092 shares, down 38% from the average of 115,776,344.

Risks include a third-quarter adjusted EPS outlook of $0.38, below the prior quarter's $0.42, analyst questions about foundry yields and scale, and Nvidia's expansion into CPUs.

SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue up 161% to $14.6 billion, with AI revenue rising more than 800%, and total annual data center rental commitments from four customers reaching $41 billion. However, the stock trades at 68 times sales, a rich valuation.

- The Same $10,000 in AMD and Nvidia Could Produce Very Different Results by 2030
The article's price model projects that a $10,000 stake in NVIDIA could reach about $18,056 in its base case (an 80.56% total return), while the same amount in AMD could reach about $11,989 (19.89%), with the five-year target running to October 2031. Reference prices are $546.66 for AMD and $215.69 for NVIDIA; NVIDIA trades at about 16x forward earnings, versus about 43x for AMD after a 155.26% year-to-date rally (NVIDIA: 15.92%). NVIDIA's fiscal second-quarter revenue reached $96.22B, up 105.8%, and AMD's reached $11.54B, up 50.1%, while the article says AMD's bull case depends on its steeper growth curve. Risks cited include high volatility (betas of 2.454 for AMD and 2.216 for NVIDIA), China and export controls, margin pressure and execution risk. The article stresses that these projections are for research purposes and actual results could differ substantially.
- Microsoft's $28 Billion Cash Flow Edge Over Google Gives It an AI Advantage, Analyst Says

- Caterpillar’s Earnings Plunge Hits These 3 Popular ETFs Hardest
Caterpillar shares fell 7.27% to $661.54 in the session after its third-quarter report, and CNBC named Caterpillar and Alphabet as the two earnings reports dragging the S&P 500 lower. Adjusted EPS of $7.20 beat the $7.04 consensus, but revenue of $20.68 billion, up 17.26% year over year, slightly missed the $20.69 billion expectation, and the EPS beat narrowed to 2.37% from 31.83% in Q2. Operating profit included $128 million of tariff recoveries versus $392 million in Q2, and management gave no numeric guidance, though Power Generation sales rose 30% on data-center turbines and engines. The article notes that three ETFs holding Caterpillar, XLI (8.51% weight), FIDU (5.40%) and VYM (1.50%), still rose in the session as the rest of their portfolios offset the decline.
- Microsoft's AI Bet Pays Off
Stifel's Brad Reback said Microsoft's Azure growth is beating expectations and could stay above 50% in the near term and well above 40% for the foreseeable future, supported by enterprise demand and OpenAI. He said the results increase confidence that Microsoft can sustain mid-to-upper teens revenue growth. Reback called the $25 billion bond offering, its first high-grade bonds in more than nine years, a move made from a position of strength, as Microsoft was guided to remain free cash flow positive and has about $10 billion of debt coming due. He said Oracle carries more risk because its cash flow is negative and it is concentrated on one customer, OpenAI, while Microsoft has a broader business including M365 Copilot.
