- Here's our monthly update on our 32 stocks, including 2 more names to buy
Jim Cramer and portfolio director Jeff Marks held the October Monthly Meeting amid the AI trade's cloudy moment. Cramer named Goldman Sachs and Starbucks as his two favorite stocks to buy, and the portfolio added Bank of New York before the meeting. The team marked Broadcom for sale because of its reliance on Anthropic and OpenAI as custom-chip customers, will hold off buying more Intel until the low $80s, and keeps Micron despite harder-to-count-on multiple expansion while expecting earnings and a buyback in December. Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce and Nvidia remain holdings with their own rationales, while CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks were partly trimmed after big moves. The article also notes the team did not get to discuss Johnson & Johnson during the meeting.

- Jensen Huang: “Two Gigawatts to Us Is Like $80 Billion.” 43 New Gigawatts Coming in 2027
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said two gigawatts of AI capacity, like the ones Nvidia announced in Australia, are worth about $80 billion to the company, up from about $18 billion per gigawatt previously. He attributed the increase to Nvidia now selling far more of each data center, including networking, CPUs, storage and security, not just GPUs. Citing SemiAnalysis's Dylan Patel on the BG2 podcast, Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner said 43 gigawatts of new AI compute will come online next year. At about $40 billion per gigawatt, Nvidia would need around 17 gigawatts to reach the $692 billion revenue estimate for fiscal 2028, though Huang said land, power and data center buildings are the main obstacles to the build-out.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.
- Deep Hardware-Software Integration Drives Apple’s (AAPL) Underappreciated AI Advantage
Wedgewood Partners’ Q3 2026 letter reports its Composite returned 2.5% in the quarter, ahead of the S&P 500 (2.3%) and Russell 1000 Growth (0.9%) but behind the Russell 1000 Value (2.6%). Rising Treasury yields pressured rate-sensitive stocks, while AI resilience lifted the NASDAQ 100 to record highs. The firm highlights Apple (AAPL), which rallied in the quarter with 16% revenue growth and adjusted EPS growth in the high teens. Wedgewood argues Apple’s R&D spending of over $40 billion over 12 months, comparable to major chip developers combined, supports a long-term AI edge from deep hardware-software integration that the market underestimates. Apple closed at $343.46 on October 16, 2026, up 26.34% year to date.
- Strive buys $335M in Bitcoin, boosting holdings to 36,818 BTC
Bitcoin treasury company Strive bought 4,045 BTC for about $335 million last week, raising its total holdings to 36,818 BTC, according to a Monday SEC filing. The purchases were made between Oct. 12 and 16 at an average price of $82,803 per coin, including fees. That makes Strive the fourth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, ahead of MARA Holdings, with reserves worth about $3 billion. The company also received about $369 million from warrant exercises and issued 13.7 million common shares, and it priced a $630 million offering of SATS preferred stock carrying a fixed 15% annual dividend, with proceeds that could fund more Bitcoin purchases. ASST shares rose about 7.7% to $25.95 in late-morning trading Monday.
- Rocket Lab Delays Neutron Again. Is the Stock in Trouble?
Rocket Lab (RKLB) shares plunged after the company said the Neutron rocket’s launch would slip to next year, one of several delays, and the stock is down close to 40% over six months. The article notes investors may shift toward Space Exploration Technologies Corp, which went public over the summer. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 rose 62% year over year to $234 million, backlog grew 137% to just under $2.4 billion, and the company is acquiring Iridium Communications. Neutron, which can handle larger payloads than Electron, is seen as key to future profitability. The author argues the delay alone doesn’t justify selling, though the company is not yet profitable and that could take a long time to change.
