- Apple could be about to dethrone Nvidia as world's most valuable company
Despite mixed reviews of Apple's new foldable Duo smartphone, Apple's stock is still drawing investor support, with a market cap of $5.08 trillion, less than 1% below Nvidia's $5.12 trillion. Nvidia has been the world's most valuable company for more than two years, but its shares are down 7.3% over the past month as investors question the health of the AI trade, while Apple is up 2.5%. The article describes Apple as a more defensive play given its focus on hardware. On the same Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite fell nearly 2.6%, its worst single-day drop since June, after Meta posted negative free cash flow for the first time since 2012 amid heavy AI spending. Dan Ives, partner at Yorkville Ives, said about 375 million iPhones have not been upgraded in over 4 years, which he believes will keep Duo demand high well into 2027.
- History Says This Is What Happens to Mega-IPO Stocks in Their First 12 Months
The article points to the June IPO of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and SK Hynix's U.S. debut in July as examples of the challenges of IPO investing. Citing Warren Buffett's view that an IPO is a negotiated transaction in which the seller chooses the timing, it notes that companies typically go public during bull markets, and every past bull market has given way to a bear market. In the first year, sentiment often shifts from hype to fundamentals; if sales growth does not support valuations, the stock may underperform, and when lockup periods of often 180 days expire, insiders often sell and add pressure on prices. IPO stocks also typically need a seasoning period before joining indexes such as the S&P 500, so the author concludes that risks tend to outweigh rewards when investing in mega-IPO stocks in their first year.
- Boehringer and Microsoft collaborate to explore AI in clinical research
Boehringer Ingelheim and Microsoft have launched a strategic collaboration to explore AI in clinical research, starting with lung health studies. The focus is on digital patient twins, computer-based models of individual patients built from clinical data, to test whether they can forecast disease progression and patient outcomes. The companies will assess whether these models can serve as synthetic or hybrid control arms, potentially reducing the number of participants in control groups, streamlining trial design and speeding up evidence generation. If successful, the approach could improve drug development efficiency and allow more trial participants to receive experimental treatments. The alliance also covers data centre modernisation and technical security, with further joint initiatives under review in animal health and commercial processes.
- Investors Just Got Bad News From the Federal Reserve. Here's What History Says Comes Next.
The Fed has raised rates only once so far, yet futures are pricing in three more quarter-point hikes by mid-2027. Long-term yields are starting to stabilize and the S&P 500 is near all-time highs on AI-driven earnings growth, but the latest Fed minutes point to keeping rates higher for longer. Historically, aggressive hikes in 1994 left the S&P 500 with a small return that year before a strong rally the following year, while tightening of more than four percentage points from 2004 to 2006 still produced positive returns. In 2022, however, both stocks and bonds fell sharply as the Fed responded too late. The author suggests buy-and-hold may be the most suitable approach for investors with a horizon of 10 years or more, and notes that funds such as VOO still hold about 40% in tech and 40% in the 10 largest companies, which could leave portfolios exposed to a correction.
- HSBC rolls out its first stablecoin to over 3 million everyday app users
HSBC has launched RedCoin (RCHKD), its first stablecoin, on its PayMe app, letting more than 3.3 million users send money to friends and family and pay at over 100,000 merchants. Users will be able to activate a stablecoin wallet in the app over the coming days. RedCoin will be fully backed by high-quality liquid assets held in separate accounts. The rollout follows the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's April decision to grant its first stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Anchorpoint Financial, a Standard Chartered-led venture. HSBC plans to add a RedCoin wallet to its Hong Kong mobile banking app later this year, allowing customers to buy tokenized investment products, including a new share class of its existing Hong Kong dollar money market fund.
- Prediction: Intel Stock Will Take Off After Oct. 29
Intel shares have fallen 31% since the start of July after rising sharply in the first half of 2026. The article argues that third-quarter results due October 29 could support the stock, as demand for server CPUs from AI data centers running inference is outpacing supply, and Intel has raised CPU prices cumulatively by 30% in 2026. Analysts expect third-quarter revenue to rise 21% to $16.5 billion and EPS to reach $0.40, slightly above guidance. The stock trades at just under 50 times forward earnings, compared with 21 times for the Nasdaq-100. SemiAnalysis projects global data center capacity could grow by 51.2 GW in 2027, double the estimated 25 GW addition in 2026.
