- Not Nvidia. Not AMD. This Is the Best Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Buy in November
Lumentum (LITE) is presented by the author as an AI infrastructure player that could beat expectations when it reports fiscal 2027 first-quarter results. McKinsey estimates that supply of 1.6 Tbps transceivers could be 30% to 40% below demand through 2029, which the author links to rising prices and margins.

The shares have fallen 19% from their 52-week high and trade at 43 times forward earnings; the author's scenario of $48.28 EPS in fiscal 2029 at 30 times earnings implies a price of $1,448, a potential gain of 58%.

- Is Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Cheap After Fresh AI Deal Interest?
Berkshire Hathaway's share price has risen strongly in recent years, returning 87.2% over the past five years. The article asks whether the conglomerate's returns on its capital justify the current price, citing fresh attention on possible involvement in Meta's planned AI equity funding, after its role in Alphabet's large equity deal in June. Using an Excess Returns model, the article estimates intrinsic value substantially above the current share price of $540.34, and notes a 13.5x P/E. It says the stock's next move may depend on whether Berkshire's returns on capital are strong enough to justify the price.
- Nuclear Power Is Back, But Only a Few Stocks Have Customers Signed
The article separates nuclear power deals into signed contracts and letters of intent or other non-binding agreements. Signed deals include 20-year agreements between Constellation Energy and Microsoft, Meta and Amazon, and 20-year power purchase agreements between Vistra and Meta. Oklo's 12-gigawatt master agreement with Switch was reported by trade press as non-binding, and Oklo's shares have fallen about 80% over the past 12 months while it still lacks a commercial reactor license. Cameco has uranium sales contracts covering around 230 million pounds, and Centrus Energy has signed a contract finalizing terms for a $900 million Department of Energy award.

- 2 Reasons I'd Buy Marvell Stock More Than 20% Below Its Record, and 1 Reason I'd Wait
Marvell Technology (MRVL) trades near $248, about 21% below its June 4 record close of $316.43. At an Oct. 6 investor day, the company raised its fiscal 2028 revenue forecast to around $20 billion from about $18 billion in August. Data center revenue rose 46% year over year to about $2.17 billion in fiscal Q2, and the roughly $18 billion data center target for fiscal 2028 now arrives a year early. The stock trades at about 34 times fiscal 2028 earnings, down from about 43 times at the June record. The author sees the drop as a possible opportunity but warns that the 10 largest customers made up 82% of fiscal 2026 revenue and that cloud providers are investing in proprietary chip design, so a full position is not yet warranted; the author would add shares gradually as custom chip sales grow in line with management's expectations.
- Insurance is emerging as a potential revenue source for banks
Insurance is contributing increasingly visibly to fee income at many banks, with bancassurance accounting for nearly 45% of new business premiums in the life insurance market. Techcombank reported insurance service income of VND 2,150 billion for the first nine months of 2026, 2.4 times the same period last year, while LPBank's insurance agency revenue reached about VND 5,689 billion, up 163%. Several banks are also expanding into insurance ownership: MSB has approved plans to contribute capital to establish or acquire life insurers and plans to set up a non-life subsidiary, while ACB Insurance was recently licensed with VND 500 billion in charter capital. Market life insurance premium revenue for the first nine months is estimated at VND 101,621 billion, down 4%, amid banks' efforts to lower lending rates and a narrowing room for net interest margin expansion. The article suggests that new entrants could intensify competition in products, distribution networks and service quality.
