HPE expanded its HPE AI Factory offerings with NVIDIA and highlighted the HPE Spaceborne Computer-4, slated to run AI and high performance workloads on the Moon. After a strong run, HPE shares returned 3.71% over one day, 22.10% over 90 days and 140.67% year to date, with a last close of $58.17. A widely followed narrative puts fair value at $72.03, implying the stock is 19% undervalued. The article warns the story could shift if AI networking orders do not convert to shipped hardware or if sentiment compresses the P/E multiple, and it cites an $800 million cost synergy target for the Juniper acquisition.

- Schneider Electric, NVIDIA & HPE announce strategic collaboration to accelerate Physical AI for Process Industries
Schneider Electric, NVIDIA and HPE have announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate Physical AI across process and heavy industries. Their first offering, Industrial AI Agents at the Edge, runs on HPE Private Cloud AI and lets autonomous AI agents monitor, reason about and optimize industrial operations in real time directly within the plant. The solution targets three barriers to scaling industrial AI: data sovereignty, cybersecurity and AI consumption costs, by processing data close to its source. The first agents focus on operational technology monitoring, cybersecurity and energy optimization, and build on CMPC Chile's three years of production use of Schneider's OTMS.

- Michael Burry Is Betting Against These 4 AI Stocks. Is He Right?
Michael Burry, known for correctly predicting the 2008 mortgage crisis, is betting against Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and Micron through put options. He argues Nvidia's chips are not being depreciated properly and their usable life will be shorter than expected, and he criticises its circular financing, such as its deal with CoreWeave, which Nvidia has rejected. Burry calls Palantir wildly overvalued, with its stock at 171 times trailing earnings and 84 times trailing sales, while Tesla, with a P/E of 359 and net income down 60% last year, is also a target. On Micron, he worries the memory cycle will turn down, even though its stock is up 220% year to date and trades at 12 times trailing sales. The author agrees Palantir looks overvalued, would not make Nvidia a central holding, and sees Micron as a stock to approach with caution.
- Is It Too Late to Buy Nvidia Stock?
Nvidia (NVDA) has grown from a roughly $400 billion market cap after ChatGPT's November 2022 debut to more than $5 trillion. The author argues that earnings have grown faster than the share price, leaving the P/E at 27, the lowest since June 2019. The company is expanding beyond GPUs into CPUs, networking, software, and partnerships, including $2 billion commitments each to Marvell, Coherent, and Lumentum. Morgan Stanley expects the five largest hyperscalers to spend $1.2 trillion on capex in 2027, versus roughly $800 billion this year, while S&P Global and Goldman Sachs estimate over $5 trillion in AI infrastructure spending by 2030. The author sees the earnings-based valuation as making the stock attractive for long-term holders.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
