Nvidia is the market's most valuable company, with a market cap above $5 trillion. It trades at 27 times adjusted trailing earnings, but only about 8 times analysts' estimate for fiscal 2030 earnings, a figure the author stresses is a moving target. Revenue growth accelerated from 56% in Q2 FY 2026 to 106% in Q2 FY 2027, though guidance points to a slight slowdown in the current quarter. The stock trades at 13 times next year's earnings, and the board recently authorized a record $150 billion in share repurchases. The author also acknowledges risks such as slower growth or contracting net margins.

- Billionaire CEO : AI Is The Biggest Bubble Of Our Lifetime , But Investors Should Keep Buying During The Melt - Up
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz called AI the “biggest bubble of our lifetime” at the Greenwich Economic Forum in early October, yet urged investors to keep buying as the S&P 500 hit a record and NVIDIA's market value neared $6 trillion. He argued AI-linked stocks still look cheap on a P/E basis, that rising long-term borrowing costs won't stop the rally, and that competition with China makes a slowdown in AI development unlikely. NVIDIA reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $96.22B, up 105.8% year over year, and its market value now stands at $5.21 trillion. Since the panel, the September CPI report released Oct. 14 showed prices up 3.7% from a year earlier, above the 3.6% expected, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell in morning trading. Novogratz says he watches signals such as spiking bond yields, stocks and the dollar falling together, and foreign selling of Treasuries.
- Billionaire CEO : AI Is The Biggest Bubble Of Our Lifetime , But Investors Should Keep Buying During The Melt - Up
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz called AI “the biggest bubble of our lifetime” at a Greenwich Economic Forum panel in early October, yet urged investors to keep buying. He says AI stocks still look cheap on price-to-earnings and rising long-term borrowing costs are not enough to stop the rally, while competition with China makes slowing AI development unlikely. His exit signals are stocks and the dollar falling together, spiking bond yields and foreign selling of Treasuries. The article notes NVIDIA revenue rose 105.8% to $96.22B, top-five hyperscalers are projected to spend $1.3 trillion on capex in 2027, and NVIDIA trades near 43 times trailing earnings versus about 29 for Microsoft. After the panel, CPI rose 3.7% against 3.6% expected, and the S&P 500 fell about 0.95%.
- Billionaire CEO: AI Is “The Biggest Bubble Of Our Lifetime,” But Investors Should Keep Buying During The Melt-Up
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz called AI the 'biggest bubble of our lifetime' at a Greenwich Economic Forum panel in early October, while still urging investors to keep buying. He argues AI-linked stocks still look cheap on a price-to-earnings basis, that rising long-term borrowing costs are not enough to stop the rally, and that competition with China makes it unlikely AI development will slow. The S&P 500 hit a record and NVIDIA's market value approached $6 trillion, driven by heavy spending, with NVIDIA trading at about 43 times trailing earnings and Microsoft at about 29. Ray Dalio warned rising rates could bring the bubble closer to collapse, while DBS's Hou Wey Fook noted NVIDIA's earnings multiple is near its lowest since 2016. The September CPI rose 3.7% from a year earlier, above the 3.6% expected, and the Fed's late-October meeting is the next key test.
- Corning Is Moving Beyond Fiber Cables. Can AI Networking Pay Off?
Corning (GLW) is extending beyond fiber cables into optical components inside AI systems, having demonstrated optical connectivity with Lumentum and Astera Labs on October 12 and partnered with Nvidia on a planned tenfold expansion of optical connectivity capacity in the US. Its Optical Communications sales rose 32% year-over-year to $2.07 billion in Q2 2026, and management sees a potential $10 billion revenue opportunity by 2030 from a photonics platform, though timing and adoption remain uncertain. Still, the valuation is elevated, with a forward non-GAAP P/E of 44.81x, about 84% above its 5-year average of 24.31x, while analysts expect EPS to grow 30.41% in December 2026 and 33.02% in December 2027. The article notes that slower AI spending or delayed CPO adoption could pressure the stock.
- What Danaher Stock's AI Lab Push Means For Shareholders
Danaher has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA combining its instruments, automation and software with NVIDIA's AI platforms, along with an AI-powered autonomous lab at Abcam for faster custom antibody development. The article links this push to future demand for more automated, data-rich research, but says it does not fundamentally change near-term risk-reward given China trade frictions and volume-based procurement. Analyst models already assume 8.1% annual revenue growth over three years and margin expansion from 15.9% to 19.3%, so the AI initiatives sit within existing expectations. Consensus sees profit rising from US$4.0b today to about US$6.1b by 2029, with the central target of US$236.32 against a US$214.06 share price. The mid case implies a P/E of about 34.1x on 2029 earnings, versus 37.7x today.
- Meta vs. Alphabet: Is GOOGL’s AI Growth Being Overlooked by Investors?
Meta (META) and Alphabet (GOOGL) trade at similar forward P/E ratios of 22.08 and 22.83, despite very different AI bets. Meta's second-quarter revenue rose 28% to $60.8 billion, driven by 14% higher ad impressions and a 12% increase in average price per ad, while daily users grew a more modest 3% to 3.60 billion. Alphabet's Google Cloud revenue rose 82% to $24.8 billion and Google Search and other revenue climbed to $63.3 billion, lifting operating income 30% to $40.8 billion. Meta's expenses rose 55% to $42.0 billion, including $2.4 billion in legal charges and $1.18 billion in severance tied to its May 2026 headcount reduction, causing operating income to fall 8% despite strong revenue growth.

- Has VinFast found the 'chicken' to solve Vietnam's auto industry's toughest dilemma?
Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.

U.S. stocks rose Monday as investors bought chip stocks after last week's sell-off, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) was on track to snap a nine-session losing streak, its worst since May 2006. The bounce was tepid: the Nasdaq rose 1%, while CoreWeave turned negative and fell to a new low for the year below $60 per share. Oil rose about $2 to around $103 per barrel, lifting inflation worries and pushing Treasury yields higher. Bank of America raised its price target on Eli Lilly to $1,397 from $1,341 after a physician survey suggested oral GLP-1 pills and Medicare coverage are expanding the obesity drug market, with Foundayo at 27% of U.S. oral GLP-1 new starts.

- American Airlines Is Now Down 23% This Year: Is AAL Stock Dead Money or Due for a Bounce?
American Airlines shares are down 23% year to date at $11.87, lagging United (down 14%), Delta (up 8%), the U.S. Global Jets ETF (down 8%) and the S&P 500 (up 13%). Higher fuel costs drove the drop: in Q2 2026 revenue rose 16.3% to $16.7 billion, but aircraft fuel expense jumped 83.3% to $4.9 billion, operating margin fell to 2.7% from 7.9%, and net income dropped 88.2% to $71 million. Management cut its full-year adjusted outlook to a range from a loss of $0.65 to a profit of $0.65 per share, and guided to a Q3 adjusted loss of $0.70 to $0.10 per share. Premium revenue per unit rose 13.4% and managed corporate business grew 26%, but the company carries a stockholders' deficit of $3.97 billion and total debt of $34.7 billion. The article says the stock could rebound if fuel prices ease, and Q3 results are expected on October 22.
- Chevron Just Hit a Record High. Is the Stock Still a Buy?
Chevron hit a record closing high of $222.04 on Oct. 14 and is trading about a dollar below that, up 45% in 2026. Brent crude is just under $106, 46% above its level before the war in the Persian Gulf, and Chevron is positioned to benefit from a Venezuela deal giving the U.S. control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven reserves, as it was the only American major to keep operating there after 1999. The company is also expanding in the Eastern Mediterranean, with seismic work planned off Greece. Second-quarter net income reached $12.1 billion, nearly 400% above a year earlier, beating estimates by $0.50 a share at $6.06. The author believes the stock is still a buy, with 20 of 25 covering analysts rating it Buy or Strong Buy ahead of the Oct. 30 Q3 report.

Carvana shares are down 31% year to date at $58.11, while CarMax is up 34%, AutoNation is down 23%, and the SPDR S&P Retail ETF is up 3%. In Q2 2026 Carvana sold a record 197,325 retail units, up 38%, on $7.38 billion in revenue, but gross profit per unit fell $412 and adjusted EBITDA margin slipped to 10.4% from 12.4%. Long-term debt of $4.85 billion and rising benchmark rates also squeezed financing profit. The company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $2.7 billion to $3 billion and targets 3 million cars a year at a 13.5% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2030 to 2035. The article says the Q3 report due later this month will show whether profit per vehicle improves.
