Cipher Digital (NASDAQ:CIFR) fell 9% to $9.02 and Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) fell 6% to $19.15, far steeper than the 1.5% drop in the Global X Data Center & Digital Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:DTCR) and the 0.35% dip in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY). The article says the gap points to a repricing of financing risk for developers that borrow heavily to build capacity before it earns rent. Cipher Digital recently priced a zero-coupon convertible note offering, with proceeds directed to a larger equity stake in its Barber Lake HPC expansion and more development sites. The article cites risks for Cipher including heavy project debt against a thin equity base and Texas grid interconnection timelines, and for Applied Digital, higher borrowing costs that could erode returns on leased capacity.

- Baystreet . ca - When Might October Nasdaq Correction End ?
The Nasdaq Composite (QQQ ETF) is 6.96% below its 52-week high after falling 5.52% last week, close to the 10% threshold for a technical correction. The article says high oil prices, sustained by Iran's control of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, keep September CPI and PPI rising, and that Iran wants higher oil prices to hurt the Republican Party before the midterm elections, so the correction in beaten-down stocks may continue. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost 25.21% last week, closing just 3% above its yearly low, while bears holding a 17% short float bet its $50 billion debt is unsustainable. Nebius (NBIS) fell 25% and Twilio (TWLO) dropped 15.6%, while Autodesk (ADSK), Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) drew buying. The article suggests volatility may ease after the midterms.
- Will AI Companies Generate Enough Revenue to Continue the Build-Out? Here's What Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says.
AI stocks fell sharply in October amid higher interest rates and doubts about returns on AI spending. Back-to-back leaks suggested slowing growth: OpenAI reported $50 billion in ARR, versus a $70 billion figure leaked in September that was later attributed to accounting differences, while Anthropic reported about $16.8 billion in Q3 revenue, or $67.2 billion annualized, below the $65 billion ARR reportedly reached by end-July. On a podcast with Brad Gerstner, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued that other frontier labs, including xAI, Meta and Google, are growing too, and that frontier labs account for only 25% to 33% of Nvidia's chip demand. Axios reported OpenAI's revenue run rate grew roughly 70% in Q3 versus 46% quarter-over-quarter growth for Anthropic, which the article reads as share loss rather than a broad AI slowdown.
- AI Financing Concerns and Major Technology Earnings Set Agenda for Markets This Week
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 11.41% last week and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.48%, as investors weighed debt-funded AI infrastructure spending amid expectations that rates could stay high for longer after September inflation exceeded forecasts. CoreWeave (CRWV) lost about a quarter of its market value during the week, Oracle shares fell 9.31%, and the cost of default protection on debt issued by AI-related companies rose. Meta (META) and Tesla (TSLA) report after the US close on Wednesday, SpaceX (SPCX) on Tuesday, and Netflix (NFLX) is also on the calendar, with investors focusing on investment spending and business performance. SpaceX recently agreed to acquire cellular spectrum licences from Grain Management for about $8 billion in cash.
- A big 'yikes' still hangs over the AI trade as Meta and Tesla report: What to watch this week
Tech stocks take the spotlight this week as SpaceX and Netflix report on Tuesday and Meta and Tesla on Wednesday. Meta's AI push, led by its Muse Spark personal agent, has drawn millions of downloads, reaching 5 million faster than ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. Bank of America, which rates Meta Buy with an $810 target, sees Muse traction supporting multiple expansion at 22x 2027 EPS, though it flags slowing downloads, a possible Google competitor and capex concerns. Consensus expects Meta's Q3 adjusted EPS of $6.76 on $63.35 billion revenue, within guidance of $61–64 billion, while BofA estimates $63.8 billion. Tesla's call may also bring questions on a SpaceX merger after the Roadster event, which Musk and his team have not directly addressed.

- Duong Son Ba Arrested, Hai Phong Thermal Power Loses Lawsuit and Must Pay VND 115 Billion to Partner
Hai Phong Thermal Power (HND) disclosed an appellate ruling in a coal supply dispute with Dan Ka Mineral, under which the court accepted the plaintiff's appeal and ordered the company to pay nearly VND 115 billion, including a coal price difference of over VND 80.15 billion and interest of over VND 34.65 billion. The dispute stems from a 2021 contract, with disagreement over price adjustments after global coal prices rose sharply in 2022. Duong Son Ba, the company's general director, was arrested on 21 May 2026 over alleged forgery of documents of an agency or organisation, and the board dismissed him from the post on 13 October, with no successor yet announced. In the first half of 2026, the company reported net revenue of nearly VND 6,081 billion, up 8%, and after-tax profit of over VND 508 billion, up nearly 25%.
- Iran threatens to use the 'father of all missiles' to strike adversaries' energy facilities
Major General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior adviser to the IRGC commander, said at a rally in Sari on October 18 that Iran has prepared the most advanced missiles and will respond to any aggression. He warned that energy infrastructure and investments belonging to powers Tehran deems aggressive in the region could fall within Iranian missile range. His remarks answered US President Donald Trump's threat to use the GBU-43/B MOAB, often called the 'mother of all bombs' and weighing about 14 tons, against Iran's energy infrastructure and nuclear sites. Naqdi said Iran also possesses these bombs, having seized some that failed to detonate in the 12-day war, and called Trump's impatience a 'public admission of defeat'.
- Strategy on verge of golden cross, just weeks after bitcoin flashed same bullish signal
Strategy (MSTR) is about to form a golden cross, when its 50-day average rises above its 200-day average, possibly as early as Monday, just weeks after bitcoin showed the same bullish signal. The company holds $69.81 billion in bitcoin, and its stock has had two earlier golden crosses followed by big rallies: from $15.57 in September 2020 to $127.29 by February 2021, a 717% gain, and from $25.29 on March 2, 2023 to a peak of $473.83 in November 2024, up 1,774%. The article stresses the signal is unreliable, though: since 1999 MSTR has had 19 golden crosses, and only 10 were followed by a higher price 12 months later, a 50% hit rate, with a median 12-month return of just 3.3%. The two worst cases, in 2001 and 2007, were followed by a 61% loss.
- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.
- Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound
Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 as sellers stepped in, and was up 0.3% over 24 hours. The bounce followed tech stocks, with Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and an ETF tracking chipmakers jumping 3%. WTI crude recovered to $98.55 after touching $96.72, as the U.S. warned citizens across 12 Middle East locations of possible flight cancellations and airspace closures, raising fears of fresh strikes on Iran and disruption at the Strait of Hormuz. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after protests in France. Bitcoin would need to move through $84,000, its ceiling on October 13 and 14, to signal that the tech rebound is lifting it too.
- Prediction: Archer Aviation Triples Its Revenue by 2028. Here's What That Would Mean for the Stock.
The author predicts Archer Aviation (ACHR) will more than triple its revenue by the end of 2028. Archer has barely generated $7 million in revenue over the last 12 months because its Midnight aircraft still lacks FAA approval for full commercial passenger operations, while analysts expect revenue of about $506 million by 2028. Potential upside includes a planned acquisition of three Boeing subsidiaries, one a profitable drone business with over $200 million in annual revenue, and a partnership with Anduril, including a UAE commitment to buy 50 Omen systems. Still, last quarter's operating expenses of about $284 million were more than half of projected 2028 revenue, so revenue growth alone would not necessarily send the stock soaring.
