Four analysts, TD Cowen, Mizuho, Citi and UBS, raised their Microsoft (MSFT) price targets ahead of earnings, citing Azure trends, cloud demand and enterprise AI adoption. TD Cowen lifted its target to $625 from $540 and sees a “higher than normal” Azure beat, while UBS raised its target to $675 from $525 even after a 39% rally. Mizuho moved its target to $600 from $510 and Citi to $636 from $600, and all four maintained positive ratings. Separately, UMass Memorial Health announced a multi-year initiative with Microsoft and Accenture to move its data platform and electronic health record to Azure. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed “bearish,” and MSFT shares are up over 10% year to date.

- Hedge Fund Stock Pickers Lost 2 . 9 % in a Week as AI Trades Unwound , Goldman Sachs Data Showed :
Global fundamental long-short hedge funds lost money every day in the week to Oct. 15, ending down 2.9%, though they remain up 14.3% year to date, according to Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data. Asia-focused stock pickers were hit hardest, down 6.8% in the first half of October and erasing more than half of their gains since a late-June peak. Goldman said the selling was mainly long liquidation rather than new shorts, with hedge funds net selling its Global AI Basket for six straight sessions by Friday, reversing net buying since early last year. South Korea's KOSPI fell more than 7% on Oct. 15 and Taiwanese stocks dropped more than 3%. The strategy's one-day loss exceeded 80 basis points three times in 2026 (Feb. 4, July 28 and Oct. 15), after never doing so from Covid through the end of 2025, with a hotter-than-expected US inflation reading as the trigger.

- Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Gets Fair Value Bump As AI Revenue Views Lift
Fresh valuation work lifts Microsoft's fair value from about US$578.82 to about US$599.24, with recent analyst price targets mostly between US$570 and US$725. Bullish firms cite Azure, M365 and Copilot as key AI revenue drivers, while some, such as Rothschild & Co Redburn, take a more measured view on higher multiples and prior rallies. Microsoft unveiled its Azure Maia 300 AI chip, which it says offers about 40% greater AI token processing efficiency per megawatt than leading GPU systems, and reported more than US$130b in new data center leases in the most recent quarter. The US Department of Labor suspended Microsoft from the PERM green card program, and regulators in the UK, Australia and Italy are increasing scrutiny of Microsoft 365 and Copilot.
- Microsoft Gets A Price Target Hike From Bernstein Ahead Of Earnings — What Investors Should Know
Bernstein raised its price target on Microsoft (MSFT) to $662 from $660 and kept an 'Outperform' rating ahead of fiscal Q1 2027 results due after the close on Oct. 28, 2026, with shares down 0.11% premarket and up over 9% year-to-date. The firm said expectations still seem reasonable and it leans positive on the market's reaction. Analysts expect earnings of about $4.72 per share on revenue of roughly $90.4 billion, and per Koyfin data, 53 of 56 analysts rate the stock Buy or Strong Buy. The Telegraph reported that Microsoft has withdrawn from a planned Nscale data center in Loughton, Essex, which was to rent 23,000 Nvidia AI chips and faces grid delays until the 2030s. The deal is believed to be a small part of Nscale's $103 billion in contracted revenue, more than 40% of which comes from Microsoft.
- UK Watchdog Proposes Strategic Market Status For Microsoft Business Software
Britain's Competition and Markets Authority has proposed giving Microsoft 'strategic market status' in business software, which could lead to rules on how it bundles products such as Excel, Teams and Copilot. The CMA's investigation, opened in May, looked at software used by around 20 million people a month in Britain and found Microsoft holds a strong position, with barriers making it hard for customers to switch. Microsoft disagrees, saying all its products, including Copilot, are open and interoperable. The CMA will seek views and make a final decision by February, including whether customers can freely choose AI tools and whether rivals can compete with Copilot. If confirmed, Microsoft would be the third company under the UK's digital markets regime, after Google and Apple.

- Russia fires mysterious weapon at Kyiv, shockwaves spread; President Putin appears in rare image, drawing global attention
On the night of 18 Oct, Russia launched a coordinated strike on multiple Ukrainian targets using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Geran UAVs, focused on Kyiv. According to TST, around 10 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M, S-400 or KN-23 types may have been used in the first wave; an above-ground metro station on Kyiv's left bank was reported damaged, disrupting rail and metro services, and videos of blue flashes led observers to suspect a new weapon. In western Ukraine, a 330 kV transformer station near Kovel may have been targeted. Meanwhile, Putin, who rarely appears in military uniform, visited a command post and stressed establishing a “security zone” along the border; blogger Yuri Podolyaka argued Moscow no longer treats these areas as bargaining chips. Front-line correspondent Alexander Kots said the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine is just over 2,700 km².
- Semiconductor Sell-Off: 5 Stocks to Buy on the Dip
The article attributes the semiconductor selloff to investor doubts about the durability of AI infrastructure spending, even as cloud companies report strong demand for AI chips. It highlights five stocks: Nvidia (forward P/E just above 13.5 on fiscal 2028 estimates), Broadcom (custom AI chips, with that revenue expected to quadruple to $230 billion over two years; forward P/E of 11), AMD (riding inference and agentic AI demand), Cerebras Systems (high risk-reward; the company claims 30 times the inference speed of GPUs) and TSMC (forward P/E of 18 on 2027 estimates).
- Tom Lee’s Bitmine Adds $30 Million in Ethereum as Buying Nears Its Finish Line
Bitmine bought another 12,535 ETH (about $30 million), lifting its holdings to 6,041,481 ETH, or 4.9% of supply and 99% of its 5% target. Chairman Tom Lee blamed the crypto selloff on a broad risk-off shift, including AI funding and safety worries, U.S.-Iran tensions, midterm jitters and rising bond yields, and called the dip a historically attractive risk-reward entry. Total holdings reached $15.1 billion as of Oct. 18, including 215 Bitcoin, $582 million in cash and marketable securities, and other investments. About 84% of its ETH (5,067,309 tokens) is staked via its MAVAN platform, with projected annualized revenue of roughly $309 million. The position is currently underwater on paper because much of it was bought at higher prices.
- Opinion: The Most Important Number in Taiwan Semiconductor's Earnings Report Was 68%
The author argues the most important figure in TSMC's Q3 report is 68%, the share of revenue from high-performance computing (HPC), which grew 22% from the prior quarter. Revenue reached $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year over year, net income rose 68.7%, and gross margin hit 66.4%. Processes at 7nm and below made up 79% of wafer revenue, with 3nm at 33% and 2nm at 8%. TSMC guided Q4 revenue to $52.3–54.3 billion and expects roughly 44% full-year growth in U.S. dollars. The author remains bullish, saying ongoing demand for advanced AI chips should keep profits rising.
- Why Meta's Q3 earnings could be a little hard to interpret
Meta is reporting its third-quarter earnings after the market closes Wednesday, and Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi says the report will be hard to interpret. Recent good news on Meta's AI products, including new models and an AI agent, may not appear directly in the results but will likely be discussed on the earnings call. The key uncertainty is how investors will react if Meta raises its capex outlook again: it could be seen as fueling those products, or as overspending on offerings not yet reflected in financials. Sozzi expects the market to give Meta the benefit of the doubt on higher capex, as long as the increase does not shock investors.
