- Alphabet stock crash leaves this trading metric at a level not seen in more than a decade
Alphabet (GOOGL) shares fell 12.6% on Thursday after its earnings report, wiping out nearly $500 billion in market value, and dropped another 1% in premarket trading on Friday. Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data shows its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is at a level not seen since 2012. Search sales of $63.4 billion came in below the $64.9 billion expected, fueling fears that rivals such as Claude and ChatGPT are eroding Google's search business. Negative free cash flow of $9.1 billion also missed the Wall Street estimate of negative $3.5 billion. After the report, 13 Wall Street analysts cut their price targets on Alphabet.
- Why Beijing could block the SpaceX-Tesla merger
Bank of America says China is the main regulatory risk to a potential Tesla–SpaceX combination, since Tesla's Shanghai plant, which builds about half its global output, would fall under a major U.S. defense contractor. Although special committees have been formed and terms are not agreed, BofA views a deal as incremental upside for Tesla shareholders; a logical structure would be an all-stock acquisition of Tesla by SpaceX, and a 20% to 30% premium would still leave Musk with over 50% of voting power. The strategic case centers on Terafab, the companies' joint chip effort, whose long-term costs Musk expects to exceed $100 billion, and SpaceX has bought $626 million of Tesla Megapacks so far this year. BofA maintained its Buy rating and $460 price target on Tesla, expecting robotaxis to become a meaningful earnings driver by the end of 2027.
- Anthropic's $224 Billion Cloud Bill Reveals the Real Winner of the AI Boom
Anthropic plans to go public within weeks under the proposed ticker ANT, with a valuation expected at about $2 trillion, according to its S-1 filing. Revenue grew from $41 million in 2023 to $4.6 billion in 2025 and reached $16.3 billion in the first six months of this year. Lacking its own computing infrastructure, Anthropic rents capacity from Amazon and Alphabet, with about $224 billion in cloud spending planned over the next decade, excluding $125 billion to $150 billion in future payments for Alphabet's TPU chips between 2028 and 2031. The article argues that Amazon and Alphabet also profit from customers who deploy Claude through AWS and Google Cloud, earning from both ends.
- Alphabet is Even Further Misunderstood Following Earnings and I’m Loading Up
Alphabet shares fell 12.64% to $283.82 after an earnings report that showed GAAP EPS of $2.12 against a $2.97 estimate, which the author attributes to an $8.70 billion loss on equity securities. The author argues the core businesses grew: operating income rose 29.93% to $40.58 billion and revenue climbed 24.6% to $127.58 billion. Google Cloud revenue grew 103% to $30.71 billion, while Search and other revenue rose 12% to $63.35 billion. Capital expenditures rose 114.4% to $51.36 billion, pushing free cash flow to negative $9.07 billion, and Alphabet issued $28.7 billion in senior notes, which the author names as the main risk. The author says he added to his Alphabet position after the sell-off.
- Meta’s AI raid triggers monopoly abuse investigation
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will investigate whether Meta is abusing its dominant position by imposing “exploitative” terms on publishers and advertisers. The new terms would let Meta deploy bots to scrape any website linked to a business account on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp, and businesses that refuse must stop using the platforms for commercial purposes. Meta originally planned to introduce the rules on Friday, delayed them until Nov 20, and has now paused the rollout pending consultation with industry groups. The CMA is concerned the terms could be an “unlawful imposition of unfair trading conditions” affecting thousands of UK businesses, and it can block them and impose fines if competition law is broken. The News Media Association urged ministers to back the regulator, noting that local publishers would be hit hardest because up to a third of their audience comes from Facebook.
- Midterms and Your Retirement: What's Really at Stake?
American Independence Gold, a veteran-owned precious-metals company, urges retirees and those nearing retirement to review their savings before the midterm elections and to assess whether gold and silver serve a clear purpose in their plan. It cites an October 22, 2026 World Gold Council report saying U.S. election results have had no consistent effect on gold prices, while later policies and global demand can matter more. CNBC reports China imported more than 1,000 tonnes of gold in the first eight months of 2026, versus 886 tonnes in all of 2025, and its central bank has bought gold for 23 consecutive months. The article suggests reviewing which assets could lose value and how expenses would be covered, avoiding concentrating retirement savings in one asset, and notes that higher U.S. yields can weigh on gold and tax benefits do not eliminate investment risk.
