- Nvidia's New $3 Billion AI Bet Is on One of Its Own Customers
Nvidia announced plans to invest $3 billion in Meta Platforms, one of its biggest customers, as part of Meta's recently announced stock offering. The companies will expand their technical partnership on Muse, Meta's AI assistant, and the model family that powers it, aiming to improve both training and inference. Meta plans to deploy more Nvidia hardware, including Vera Rubin GPU systems, Vera CPUs and networking technology, while work on tools for securing and monitoring AI agents remains exploratory with nothing agreed. The article notes the announcement does not say how much new business Nvidia gains, since Meta was already a major customer and the engineers had been collaborating. The author sees the deal as Nvidia deploying cash while Meta needs capital, but says Nvidia's growth depends on continued AI spending, with last quarter's revenue at $96.2 billion and data center making up over 90% of sales.
- NVDA Stock Alert: What to Know as Nvidia Invests $3 Billion in Meta
- Nvidia Just Announced Plans to Pour Billions Into Meta's Muse
Meta plans to raise a total of $95 billion to support its AI spending, including a $35 billion underwritten public offering of Class A shares and a $60 billion sale of non-voting Class C shares starting early next year. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have expressed interest in buying up to $5 billion of Meta's Class A shares, with Nvidia contributing $3 billion. Meta also plans a 2-for-1 stock split on Jan. 19, 2027, issued as a stock dividend. The company expects 2026 capital expenditures of $135 billion to $145 billion, roughly double the $72.2 billion spent last year. Meta's shares are down 16% over the past year and trade at 21 times earnings, while Nvidia, with revenue and profit growth above 100%, trades below 28 times earnings; the author argues both are attractively priced despite the risk of slower AI spending.
- Meta's deal with AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom: Is circular financing a risk?
Madison and Speaker A discuss Meta's deal involving Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia, with Nvidia taking part in an equity issuance, and whether the circular nature of the financing is a concern. Madison notes that Mag 7 companies are mentioned throughout the S-1, and that circular funding has been common for these firms without causing major problems for investors before. The more interesting question is whether market patience is wearing thin for neocloud companies that need heavy funding to build infrastructure. Speaker A cites a Goldman report and Torsten Slok of Apollo saying AI spending will peak in the fourth quarter, along with Gartner's view that the downturn will be ugly when it comes, though not for everyone as large companies absorb smaller ones.
- Nvidia and Meta expand their AI partnership: What to know
Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta's equity offering, as Meta expanded its planned equity raise from 95 billion to 97 and a half billion. The common stock offering sold 25 billion, above the expected 22 and a half billion. The hosts note that although called a partnership, Nvidia is mostly selling chips to Meta, and the market may still read the deal as a bullish signal. They total recent financing deals, including a potential $100 billion Anthropic IPO, Meta's raise of roughly $100 billion, a $40 billion SpaceX GPU financing and a $63 billion Broadcom-Anthropic financing, at about $300 billion over 48 hours. They ask where the payoff for all this financing will come from.
- Nvidia to invest $3 billion in Meta, expand partnership on Muse
Nvidia said it will invest $3 billion in Meta after the company announced plans to raise up to $95 billion to fund its AI infrastructure build-out. The two companies will also expand their work on Muse and the Muse family of models to improve inference and training performance. Meta's initial raise of $35 billion includes about $22.5 billion in Class A common stock and $12.5 billion in Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom also expressed interest in buying up to $5 billion in aggregate of those shares.

- How Microsoft, Coca-Cola And Amazon Are Adapting Their Offices For AI Age
Workplace and real estate executives at Microsoft, Citadel, Amazon and Coca-Cola said AI is pushing companies to move offices away from isolated desks toward open, collaborative spaces. Coca-Cola uses AI for internal data and ad creation, Microsoft's workplace team uses it to render proposed workspaces, and Amazon's real estate team said its AI usage rose from roughly 7% in January to over 90% this month. An October Workday report, based on a survey of more than 6,000 employees and business leaders worldwide, found 40% expect AI to boost productivity while 28% expect it to reduce headcount. Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, more than a quarter of its global workforce, on top of the 4,800 layoffs announced in July, while Amazon cut 14,000 corporate jobs last year and plans to cut as many as 30,000 more. Citadel has not cut jobs because of AI and is building two headquarters towers in Miami and New York totaling 3.5M SF.
- Microsoft beats expectations fueled by Azure cloud business
Microsoft shares rose more than 5% on Wednesday afternoon after the company reported revenue and profit above expectations, driven by its Azure cloud unit, which grew 48% in the September quarter. Total revenue reached $92.3 billion and profit exceeded $36.6 billion, compared with FactSet analyst estimates of about $90.6 billion and $35.1 billion. Days earlier, Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, roughly a quarter of its workforce, its second such offer this year. Headcount fell to 223,000 at the end of June from 228,000 at the end of 2025. Capital expenditures reached $45.2 billion, mostly on short-lived assets such as memory chips and storage, and the company expects more than $50 billion in the final quarter of 2026, bringing full-year spending to $170 billion.
- Hands-on with Apple's first touchscreen laptop: Touch is totally optional
Apple unveiled its first touchscreen MacBook Pro models at an event in Los Angeles. They still run macOS, and CNBC found touch fully optional, since the trackpad and keyboard remain the main inputs and the interface looks largely unchanged apart from tweaks such as an enlarged red window button. Apple says its software converts each touch into a standard click, and that third-party developers such as Microsoft and Adobe will enlarge their touch targets. The Apple logo on the lid lights up, the first Apple laptop to do so since the 2017 MacBook Air. Prices start at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and at least $3,399 for the larger one.
- NVDA Stock Edges Down On DOJ Interest In $12.9 Billion Hugging Face Acquisition
Nvidia shares slipped 1% on Wednesday after reports that the U.S. Department of Justice asked how its planned acquisition of Hugging Face could affect AI competition, including whether Nvidia could control a key distribution point for AI models and tools. The questions add to a years-long antitrust probe of Nvidia that began under former President Joe Biden and reportedly covers its acquisitions, investments, sales practices and whether it has pressured customers, with past deals such as SchedMD, Groq's licensing deal and Run.ai also examined. Nvidia announced in early September that it agreed to buy Hugging Face for about $12.93 billion, including roughly $11.9 billion payable to investors and an equity-based retention program of up to about $1 billion for employees. Jensen Huang has pledged that the platform will remain open to models, frameworks, clouds and computing platforms across the industry, and that Nvidia's chips will not be required to use it. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027.
- Google slumps amid fears of AI overspending
Alphabet, Google's parent company, saw its shares fall as much as 9% after hours after quarterly sales and profits missed Wall Street estimates, amid worries about AI overspending. Google spent $51.3bn between July and September, up from $44.9bn in the prior quarter, and reported negative free cash flow of $9.1bn, the second negative quarter since it listed more than 20 years ago. Earnings were $2.12 a share against expectations of about $3, weighed down by an $8.7bn loss on its equity investments including a large SpaceX stake, while revenue rose 25% to $127.6bn, slightly below the roughly $128bn analysts forecast. Microsoft, by contrast, rose as much as 6.4% after hours on stronger cloud performance, with revenue up 19% to $92.3bn and Azure sales up 48%. Separately, Anthropic has filed for a New York IPO that could become the world's largest ever, with a target valuation of around $1.5tn to $2tn, and plans to open shares to retail investors in the UK and parts of continental Europe through RetailBook.
