Alphabet (GOOG) trades near $349.52 a share, and the article models what a $1,000 stake could become. Its five-year base case projects about $1,936.50, a 93.65% total return, based on a $676.85 per-share target and a 14.13% annualized return. A steady 10% yearly growth would turn $1,000 into about $1,464.10 by 2030, an illustration rather than a target. Growth drivers cited include Google Cloud revenue up 82% to $24.8 billion with a $514 billion backlog, search revenue up 17% to $63.3 billion, and Gemini with 950 million monthly users. Risks include Q2 capex of $44.9 billion that drove free cash flow to negative $5.9 billion, long-term debt rising from $46.5B to $98.2B, and a beta of 1.211.

- Chamath: Even Google “Tin Cups for Memory” Thanks to Nvidia. Here’s What Happens Next
Microsoft unveiled its third-generation Maia 300 AI chip on Oct. 12, while Chamath Palihapitiya said on the All-In podcast that even Google is short on memory because Nvidia has locked up most packaging and HBM capacity. Memory makers say their capacity is largely sold out for 2027 and probably much of 2028, and Micron has agreements covering most of its calendar 2027 HBM supply at significantly higher prices. Micron’s capex nearly doubled to $30.7 billion in the year ended Sept. 3, 2026, but most of the increase goes to clean-room space arriving in late 2028 and beyond. The article argues Nvidia, whose gross margin was 71.1% in the year ended January 2026, keeps supply control through roughly 2028, though that window could close sooner if rivals add capacity faster than planned.
- Should You Buy NuScale at $6 After the Google Rally? Here's the Next Catalyst That Could Send It Higher.
Google signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Constellation Energy, and Constellation's stock rose 12% after the October 6 announcement, lifting other nuclear stocks. NuScale Power (SMR), an early-stage developer of small modular reactors, trades below $6 and is largely story-driven. The stock has fallen more than 90% from its peak of about $57, weighed down by weak nuclear stocks, Fluor exiting its stake, and no new commitments for its technology. The article says a firm deal with the Tennessee Valley Authority through ENTRA1's non-binding agreement for up to 6 GW (requiring up to 72 NuScale modules) could be a major catalyst, but without firm commitments the stock may fall further.
- Google Just Started Paying SpaceX $920 Million a Month. Here's What That's Worth per Share.
Google has begun paying Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX, SPCX) $920 million a month for access to about 110,000 Nvidia GPUs, under a compute-rental deal running from October 2026 through June 2029. The article estimates the contract at roughly $11 billion a year, or about $30 billion over the 33-month term, which works out to about $0.83 in sales per share per year on SpaceX's roughly 13.2 billion shares. Compared with trailing 12-month revenue of $20.7 billion, the deal could lift yearly revenue by more than 50%. SpaceX also has an Anthropic deal worth up to $84.5 billion through May 2029. However, both contracts include 90-day mutual cancellation clauses, so the article warns against treating them as guaranteed long-term income, though they suggest the AI segment could become profitable.

- Winning over Vingroup and Sun Group with concrete and special materials: Vietnamese company's profit up 136%, chairman speaks out
Song Da Cao Cuong (SCL) reported Q3/2026 profit of VND 38 billion, up 136%, on net revenue of over VND 263 billion (up nearly 98%), while gross profit margin rose from about 36% to 41%.

The company said it spent more than two years testing its products before Vingroup accepted them; Vingroup's share of its business has fallen to about 25% as customers expanded to around 10 major groups and exports began to Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines. Over the past two years, the company has invested about VND 1,000 billion in factories and technology.
- Coteccons Chairman Bolat Duisenov reveals new direction: expanding home construction for individual customers
At the annual general meeting on October 20, Coteccons (HoSE: CTD) set fiscal 2027 targets of VND 42,000 billion in revenue and VND 1,050 billion in after-tax profit, and said it is considering expanding into residential construction for individual customers (B2C).

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.
- Asian shares mostly decline after AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street
Asian shares mostly fell in cautious trading on Tuesday after AI-related stocks rebounded on Wall Street, while other sectors stayed shaky and oil prices stayed high. Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 rose 0.4% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%, helped by Nvidia's 1.4% gain, while most stocks outside AI and tech fell and the Dow slipped 0.1%. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
