The article calculates that a $1,000 investment in each of Nvidia, Netflix and Amazon 20 years ago would be worth about $674,000 combined as of October 26. Nvidia's stake would be worth about $383,000, with most gains coming in the past couple of years as generative AI took off; the chipmaker's operating profit totaled nearly $200 billion over the past four quarters, its market cap is around $5.3 trillion, and it trades at 28 times trailing earnings. Netflix's stake would be worth more than $161,000, but its stock has fallen this year on concerns about slowing growth and is trading near its 52-week low. Amazon's stake would be worth about $130,000, and its operating income last year reached $80 billion, more than six times the $12 billion of three years earlier; the stock trades at around 20 times trailing earnings. The author argues these growth stocks can still be good buys today.

- Market Chatter: Amazon is Buying More Nvidia AI Hardware Than It Can Power Up
- AGI Is Almost Ready. Is Your Portfolio?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in September that “AGI has arrived,” citing OpenAI's new GPT-6 and the Nvidia chips behind it, though the article notes he sells chips to major AI labs and has a stake in the question. AGI is described as AI that can do most jobs as well as a skilled worker, but today's top models succeed only about half the time on tasks that take a person two workdays, according to research group METR. Tech leaders disagree on timing: Musk has pushed his forecast from 2025 to 2026, Altman says OpenAI is “not quite yet” there, and Pichai expects AGI shortly after 2030. Amazon's AGI chief says models need to be about 100 times more efficient, and AWS customers have signed $496 billion in contracts for future services.
- Breakfast News: The Sunday Edition
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang posted in September that "AGI has arrived," while many other tech leaders are more cautious about when AGI will be reached. AGI is described as AI capable of a skilled worker's performance in most jobs, whereas today's models still need supervision and cannot work reliably over long stretches. METR research found that top models succeed only about half the time on tasks that would take a person two workdays. Sam Altman says OpenAI is "not quite yet" at AGI but expects an internal system he would call AGI by year-end, while Sundar Pichai expects it shortly after 2030. Andy Jassy has not set a date, but AWS customers have signed $496 billion in contracts for future services.
- Here Are the 3 Magnificent Seven Stocks I'd Buy Today
The author already owns all seven 'Magnificent Seven' stocks but plans to buy more of Nvidia, Alphabet and Amazon, which he sees as major beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure build-out. Amazon is expected to spend about $220 billion on data centers in 2026 and Alphabet about $200 billion, and the article argues these investments will generate high returns. Google Cloud revenue rose 82% year over year in Q2, with a 36% operating margin and over $500 billion in backlog. AWS grew 37% in Q2 and accounted for about 60% of Amazon's operating profit from roughly 21% of revenue. Nvidia benefits because its GPUs still supply most of the computing power for these cloud providers; the company said the five largest AI hyperscalers will spend nearly $800 billion on data centers this year, rising to $1.3 trillion next year, and projected 70% revenue growth in 2027. The author still considers Nvidia the top pick among the seven.
- Alliance for Open Media Sees Rapid AV2 Adoption Across the Video Ecosystem Just Four Months After Release
The Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) says momentum behind AV2, its royalty-free next-generation video codec, is building rapidly just four months after its specification was published. Developed by members including Amazon, Apple, Google, Intel, Netflix, Samsung and Tencent, AV2 delivers about 30% greater compression efficiency than AV1 and adds capabilities for multi-stream video, real-time communications, immersive applications, higher frame rates and enhanced HDR. Google has demonstrated AV2 playback in Chrome, and partners including YouTube, Netflix and Prime Video are exploring the format, while several members have begun evaluating it across production, open-source and consumer platforms. Members are also contributing encoder and decoder work, compliance testing, benchmarking, interoperability testing, content workflows and hardware readiness so that providers, developers and device makers can begin deploying AV2.
- SPCX, SMCI, NOK, TSLA, NFLX: Why Retail Traders Couldn’t Take Their Eyes Off These Stocks Last Week
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the company secured a $40 billion financing arrangement to buy advanced AI chips, after third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.58 billion. Nokia beat expectations on third-quarter earnings on AI and cloud demand, but its stock fell over 10% during the week on worries about supply shortages, high costs and reliance on major cloud firms; Rosenblatt cut its price target to $14 from $15 but kept a 'Buy' rating. Super Micro expects first-quarter revenue of $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, above the $15 billion consensus, and its stock gained 4%. Tesla rose nearly 5% after better-than-expected third-quarter results despite capital expenditures rising 110% to $4.7 billion, while Netflix tumbled 6% on slower revenue growth and a weaker fourth-quarter outlook. Year to date, SPCX, TSLA and NFLX have fallen between 8% and 29%, while SMCI and NOK have gained 12% and 25%, respectively.

- Why Archer Aviation Stock Took Flight on Tuesday
Archer Aviation (ACHR) shares rose sharply on Tuesday morning, reaching as much as 9.6% higher and closing up 7.4%. The move followed reports that Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Investment Management, had been buying the stock, with ARK funds adding more than 1 million shares worth nearly $4.6 million at Monday's closing price. Last week, Archer announced plans to set up air taxi networks across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin using its all-electric Midnight aircraft. The company still needs sign-off from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is in its final stages, and won't generate revenue from this business until approval is granted. The article also notes the stock has shed nearly 63% of its value over the past year, and the company will likely remain unprofitable for the foreseeable future.
- USA Rare Earth Just Broke Ground on a $1.2 Billion Magnet Complex. Here's Why It Matters.
USA Rare Earth (USAR) has started building a $1.2 billion rare-earth metal and magnet facility in Blacksburg, South Carolina, expected to span roughly 800,000 square feet. The project moves the company closer to being a vertically integrated producer, following expansion of its Texas mining site and its acquisition of Brazil-based miner Serra Verde. The article notes China dominates rare-earth mining and processing, and that these materials are vital for missile defense, sensors and electric vehicles, making domestic supply increasingly important for the U.S. The company is positioned with the U.S. government as its core customer, and comprehensive sourcing can reduce supply-chain complexity and the number of vendors agencies must rely on. If the refining plants run efficiently, the article says the company could sell materials and magnets at higher margins than outsourcing processing to third parties.
- Intel, Microchip Technology, Marvell Technology, onsemi, and Seagate stocks trade up, what you need to know
Shares of Intel (INTC), Microchip Technology (MCHP), Marvell Technology (MRVL), onsemi (ON) and Seagate (STX) rose between 3.9% and 5.7% in the afternoon session after Broadcom reportedly secured $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic. The article links this to Anthropic's IPO filing and Meta's equity offering, which it says signal that tech companies are still spending heavily on infrastructure. It notes onsemi has had 35 moves greater than 5% over the last year, so today's gain is seen as meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change how the market views the business. Twenty days earlier, onsemi fell 4.3% as the 10-year Treasury yield climbed back above 5.3%, touching its highest level since 2002, after Fed minutes showed most officials expected another rate increase this year. Higher yields raise the discount rate applied to chipmakers' future earnings, which the article says weighs on the sector.
- Wesdome Gold Mines (TSX:WDO) Stock Looks Reasonable Despite Output Pressure
Wesdome Gold Mines (TSX:WDO) has returned about 283.2% over the past three years, but its latest production update showed recent gold output down 18%, driven by lower grades at Eagle River. At around $28.41, the stock trades on about 9.8x earnings, roughly level with its peer group and below the broader Metals and Mining sector at about 14.2x. The article suggests this discount may reflect market caution after the output drop, and raises the question of whether current earnings adequately support the share price. It also cites a fair value model, which blends growth, profitability, size and risk, indicating the shares trade on a lower P/E than typically expected for those fundamentals.
- Amazon Backup Power Deal Could Be A Turning Point For Generac Stock
Generac Holdings has disclosed a long-term backup power agreement with Amazon, including planned data center deliveries in 2027 and 2028. Investors are watching shipment timing, factory capacity and how backlog converts into revenue in the upcoming Q3 results. The company expects US$450m of 2026 data center revenue and holds a US$1.6b dedicated backlog, and the Amazon contract reinforces this thesis but does not resolve how quickly orders become shipments or how they affect margins. The main risk is that capital spending on factory expansion could run ahead of actual volumes, pressuring free cash flow and profitability. The analyst narrative points to revenues of US$7.8b and earnings of US$918.4m by 2029, up from the US$258.2m reported today, based on an assumed annual top-line growth rate of 20.6%.
- Semtech, Amkor, Entegris, MACOM, and Vishay Intertechnology stocks trade up, what you need to know
Several semiconductor stocks rose in the afternoon session after major AI deals and financing agreements, which the article says reinforced investor confidence in sustained tech demand. It reports that Broadcom obtained $63 billion in bank financing to develop proprietary AI chips for Anthropic, while Anthropic filed for an IPO and Meta launched an equity offering. Gains included Semtech up 5%, Amkor up 6.5%, Entegris up 7%, MACOM up 5.3%, and Vishay Intertechnology up 10.9%. Vishay has had 54 moves greater than 5% over the past year, and five days earlier its stock fell 7.2% on warnings that component supply bottlenecks and cleanroom space constraints would limit equipment makers’ ability to meet demand through 2027.
