The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% to 26,008 and the S&P 500 dropped 1.2% to 7,663, while the Dow Jones edged up 0.02% to 52,867, as tech stocks sold off after poorly received Magnificent 7 earnings and concerns about AI spending.

- IRS plans lower tax disclosure penalties, including for crypto: Forbes
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is preparing to overhaul its voluntary disclosure program to cut penalties and speed up the resolution of tax violations, including those involving cryptocurrencies, according to Forbes. IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Jarod Koopman said the revised program is targeted for launch before December, with cases aimed to be resolved within 120 days after taxpayers complete the required submission process. Digital assets would not get a separate disclosure process but would follow the same procedures as other tax noncompliance, and penalties are expected to be substantially lower, though no specific figures were given. Separately, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, whose Section 502 would set a process for correcting past crypto violations with defined penalties, cleared the House Ways and Means Committee in September.
- GE Vernova Fell Nearly 11% in a Day After Meta’s Earnings. Here’s Where the Stock Could Go by 2030
GE Vernova (GEV) closed at $827.42 on October 22, down 10.64% after Meta Platforms (META) reported third-quarter results showing $34.91 billion of capital spending and negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion. The stock was 29.57% below its June 30 record close of $1,174.86, though still up about 27% in 2026. The article links the sell-off to concerns about how AI buyers fund equipment, noting that GE Vernova's gas customers often pay early, with one slot reservation agreement requiring about 25% down. Second-quarter cash from operations reached $5.49 billion, but adjusted EPS of $2.41 missed the $3.01 estimate, and consensus expects free cash flow to fall about 35% in 2027. GE Vernova reports on October 28, when BofA Securities expects $21.0 billion of orders against a $22.2 billion consensus.
- AMD Stock Fell 8% in a Day as Lam Research’s Supply Warning Sank Chip Stocks. Here’s Where the Stock Could Go by 2030
AMD closed at $507.93 on October 22, down 8.10% after Lam Research (LRCX) said supply constraints held down its guidance, a drop larger than the 6.72% fall in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The stock was 21.79% below its October 6 record close of $649.42. The article attributes the decline to a lower multiple rather than to estimates: AMD's NTM P/E fell from about 55x to about 46x between September 30 and October 22, while NTM normalized EPS held near $11. The main risk it identifies is the timing of rack-scale shipments, since delays would cut the estimates the model starts from. AMD reports third-quarter results on November 3 after the close.
- Meta and Google About to Run the Old Playbook Again, Will “Sell Space Inside Their Models.”
Former Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque says Meta and Google will sell space inside their AI models, so that a request for beer could return a Bud Light recommendation. The article notes that ad revenue lets Meta and Alphabet give AI away free, while rivals that rely on paying developers must charge; Meta reported $201 billion revenue in 2025 at a 41% operating margin, and Alphabet's operating margin was 32%. According to the article, Meta's Muse launch post says conversations are kept out of its ad systems, even though Muse became the #1 free app and has paid plans at $20 and $100 a month. The article argues that putting ads inside answers is a much bigger step than placing ads beside search results and could make users doubt recommendations, and notes Meta reports third-quarter results this week.
- Is Elon Musk Coming for Verizon?
A Motley Fool Hidden Gems podcast discusses SpaceX's wireless ambitions after a reported spectrum acquisition sent Verizon stock down about 10%. One host says his current service was about eight times faster than SpaceX's $55 offering, and doubts many users would accept the slower speeds and higher latency of satellite connections. The guests note the spectrum suits terrestrial networks better than satellites, that building one could cost 10 billion or more, and that mobile carriers are valued at less than two times sales. With roughly 11,000 satellites in orbit and an estimated 40,000 users per newer satellite, Starlink could theoretically serve hundreds of millions, but speed and capital expenditure remain open questions.
- Big Tech's AI spending has Wall Street worried
Dan Flax, Senior Research Analyst at Neuberger, discusses investor concerns over massive AI infrastructure spending by hyperscalers. He notes that cloud businesses are accelerating on AI workloads, but capital needs are rising, prompting debt issuance and an equity raise by Google earlier this year. On Meta, the company raised the low end of its total spending forecast to $135–145 billion this year and has about $825 billion in future spending commitments, which weighed on the stock. Flax argues the core digital advertising business still generates robust operating cash flow, and customers want to rent Meta's compute and use its models, so he expects more visible growth over the coming months that could ease market concerns.
