- Jensen Huang Says the Next Wave of AI Is Physical. Forget Nvidia and Tesla, I’d Bet on These 2 Mid-Cap Stocks Instead.
As AI expands into factories and warehouses, one of the two stocks could benefit from machines that can see. The other is presented as a cheaper-looking opportunity in AI-powered warehouse robotics, despite its recent stock decline.
- How Nvidia's OpenShell is securing the next generation of AI agents: Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the company's GTC Berlin event on Wednesday, introduced the OpenShell platform to address risks from autonomous AI agents that can access files, resources, networks and tools. He argued that such agents should be given minimal privileges and monitored constantly, saying that simply asking agents not to misuse access is not real security. According to Huang, OpenShell runs each agent in an isolated sandbox, with every outbound network request checked against a policy by a supervisor outside the sandbox, and keeps access keys outside the agent so they are added only when sending to an approved endpoint. The platform checks policy changes against permission limits through formal verification and combines Linux kernel isolation with runtime policy enforcement.
- Jensen Huang: 'Not afraid of paying taxes, only of being poor'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a CBS interview on October 20 that he doesn't mind paying taxes and views his expected $8 billion in taxes over five years as a 'privilege,' as California weighs a 5% levy on wealthy residents' total assets. His comments come as billionaires such as Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt oppose the plan, while Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg have left the state for lower-tax locations. Huang, worth over $187 billion according to Forbes, said he could not have succeeded without the opportunities America offers and called California a hub of talent. The initiative needs more than 870,000 signatures to reach a November vote, and would let billionaires pay the tax over five years.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says data center builders have to be 'good neighbors'
At Nvidia's GTC event in Berlin, CEO Jensen Huang said data center builders should partner with local communities before construction, since projects bring benefits but also new neighbors. Pushback is growing, with some US counties and towns imposing outright bans, New York placing a one-year statewide moratorium on construction, and Texas pausing the connection of new data centers to its grid. Residents cite noise, water usage and higher electricity costs, and the issue has become a flashpoint in the midterm elections. To ease tensions, Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN) have dropped controversial non-disclosure agreements, while Huang urged builders to contribute to communities, tailor benefits to local needs and act as good guests.
- Jensen Huang refutes AI job fears: 'It creates jobs'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that public fears about AI eliminating jobs are misplaced, saying AI is creating jobs in software, healthcare and legal work. He points to booming energy, chip and infrastructure sectors, along with construction and manufacturing jobs tied to the reindustrialization of the United States and Europe, and calls the job-loss narrative 'precisely wrong.' Asked about differing views in the West and China, he notes strong pushback on AI in the West while China embraces it as useful. Huang stresses that safety is important, that Nvidia has invested heavily in safety systems, and that AI should be directed optimistically so society can benefit from it.
- Nvidia’s Huang highlights AI benefits in Berlin speech amid wider European tour
Speaking at an event in Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Europe to adopt AI quickly, saying the region should focus on producing AI rather than just consuming it. He showcased Nvidia's full-stack AI factory, spanning hardware, software, libraries and models, and backed the idea of sovereign AI, where countries build and control their own systems. The remarks come during a wider European tour aimed at bolstering new markets for Nvidia's chips. Meanwhile, Vital Knowledge analysts flagged concerns that Nvidia acts as a 'central bank' for the sector through circular financing deals, which Huang rejects, while worries over debt-funded AI spending grew after hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data raised bets on higher-for-longer Federal Reserve rates.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
