- Wall Street Didn’t Expect This AI Stock to Become This Important
24/7 Wall St. sets a 12-month price target of $258.42 for NVIDIA, 20.68% above the current price, with a buy rating. The article says NVIDIA can supply only about 70% of demand, and shares fell 6.61% in the past week but are still up 15.08% year to date. Fiscal Q2 2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.85% year over year and above the $92.07 billion consensus, with EPS of $2.22 beating estimates. However, the article flags supply commitments rising to $279B from $119B in Q1, and a gross margin expected to bottom at 71% to 72% in Q4.
- Wall Street's AI Boom Just Reached a Dangerous Milestone. History Says the Winners Could Change.
Wall Street has spent recent years rewarding nearly every company tied to AI, including hyperscalers, chipmakers, memory providers, cloud firms and equipment makers. A Columbia University estimate puts cumulative AI infrastructure investment and spending at about $9 trillion over 2025–2032, and says the sector would need more than $3.5 trillion in annual revenue by 2032 just to break even. The article argues that, as with the late-1990s telecom fiber build-out and 19th-century railroads, the biggest winners may be the businesses that use the infrastructure rather than those that build it, since builders often face overcapacity and weak returns. It points to industrial companies using AI for tasks such as predictive maintenance and logistics as potential beneficiaries, and presents the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) as a complementary holding with a small allocation.
- ‘How many canaries have we killed in the coal mine?’ — Wall Street debates if the latest AI bubble warnings are another head fake or the real thing
Since ChatGPT's launch in late 2022, Wall Street has repeatedly seen warning signs of an AI bubble, from Nvidia's market cap crossing the $2 trillion, $3 trillion, $4 trillion and $5 trillion milestones to hyperscalers' borrowing and capex and the DeepSeek shock, yet earnings kept rising and stocks kept hitting records. The current worry is whether trillions of dollars in AI spending will pay off, which has hit debt-laden firms like CoreWeave, sending its stock lower and its credit default swaps higher. Dan Greenhaus of Solus Alternative Asset Management argued that CoreWeave is not a canary signaling an imminent AI bust, noting the market has repeatedly shrugged off similar warnings. With the Iran war and oil prices pushing bond yields to their highest in more than 20 years and the Fed hiking again, AI firms that rely on bond issuance face closer scrutiny.
- Sara Eisen Went on Bill Maher and Said What Wall Street Will Not About the AI Race
On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, CNBC anchor Sara Eisen argued that the US must not let China get ahead in AI, a national security case the article considers sound but an investment case that is weaker. The top five hyperscalers were expected to spend nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027 on capital projects, while public backlash over power, water use and electric bills is slowing projects. Amazon's trailing free cash flow was -$7.6 billion, and Alphabet posted -$5.86 billion on $44.92 billion of quarterly capex and has paused buybacks. The author argues AI demand may be inevitable, but as with electricity, much of the long-term value may flow to customers and later entrants rather than the original builders.
- MARKETS LIVE : Wall Street opens lower as AI spending doubts and oil price surge weigh on sentiment
Wall Street opened lower on Thursday as doubts over returns on heavy AI spending, disappointing Tesla and Meta results, and surging oil prices hit sentiment. The Dow fell 67.7 points (0.13%) to 52,788.41, the S&P 500 dropped 62.6 points (0.81%) to 7,694.62, and the Nasdaq Composite lost 394.5 points (1.48%), with the Nasdaq 100 losing about 500 points in the first 13 minutes. Meta fell 6.51% to $652.10, Tesla 1.91% to $379.10 and Nvidia 1.76% to $218.07. Oil prices hit their highest since May, with Brent above $111 a barrel, after the New York Times reported that the US and Israel had drawn up plans for renewed strikes on Iran following the November 3 midterm elections. Spot gold fell 1.46% to $4,071.56 an ounce, while the FTSE 100 edged up 0.01% to 10,754.13.

Latest news
- Bank Profits Surge
The 9-month 2026 results show many banks continued to grow profits, with some posting record quarterly earnings. VPBank's pre-tax profit reached nearly VND 30,000 billion, up nearly 47%, equal to its full-year 2025 result and about 72.4% of its 2026 plan; Q3 pre-tax profit topped VND 11,000 billion. Techcombank posted VND 28,900 billion (up 23.7%), while LPBank reported VND 10,421 billion (up nearly 9%). SSI forecasts pre-tax profit of its monitored banks to rise 19.5% in 2026 before slowing to 15.4% in 2027, pressured by narrowing net interest margins and rising credit risk provisions. It also expects system-wide credit growth of 16-17% in 2027 and 17.9% for the monitored banks.
- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

The State Bank's central rate was set at 25,627 VND/USD, down 5 dong, while Vietcombank quoted 25,660-26,040 VND/USD (buy-sell).
- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News
VEFAC (ticker VEF), a Vingroup subsidiary, posted Q3 net revenue of nearly VND 77 billion, up 67% year on year, but a gross loss of about VND 27 billion as cost of sales from its exhibition business exceeded revenue. Q3 profit rose mainly thanks to a gross gain of about VND 65 billion from transferring some schools in a project to a partner, while financial income reached over VND 388 billion, mostly from loan and investment income. For the first nine months of 2026, after-tax profit was nearly VND 865 billion, down about 94% from VND 15,418 billion in the same period of 2025, as the prior year included large gains from transferring part of the Vinhomes Global Gate project. As of 30/9/2026, total assets stood at over VND 31,905 billion, up 36% from the start of the year, while total liabilities exceeded VND 24,364 billion, with short-term customer advances rising from VND 411 billion to over VND 8,373 billion.

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
