The article argues that Credo Technology Group (CRDO), a connectivity chip designer, receives less attention than its major cloud-provider customers would suggest. Its signature product is an active electrical cable (AEC) that carries 800 gigabits per second over copper, and revenue for the quarter ended Aug. 1 more than doubled from a year earlier. The company is shifting toward optical connectivity after acquiring DustPhotonics in May, with its 1.6-terabit ZeroFlap Active Light Cable slated to ship in 2027 and drawing about 30% less power than a comparable copper AEC. Cited risks include revenue concentrated among a handful of hyperscalers, a stock decline of over 40% from its high earlier this year, and about $2.5 million of stock sold by the CEO in September.

- 'The power of shrink': tour the little-known $25B company that chipmakers can't live without
Qnity, spun off from DuPont nearly a year ago, makes specialized chemicals and materials that chipmakers need to manufacture semiconductors. Although shares have pulled back from their year-to-date highs, the Club holding is still up 47% in 2026. Jim Cramer wants this AI exposure in the Club's portfolio after selling Corning, and he is pleased that more analysts are starting to cover the stock. Two firms just initiated coverage with buy ratings and price targets, while the Club rates the stock buy-equivalent 1 with a $180 price target. The report includes a tour of Qnity's R&D facility outside Boston, where CEO Jon Kemp described the company's success as the 'power of shrink' and increasingly the 'power of shrink and stack'.
- Why this little known Chinese chipmaker has caused a global stock rout
Tech stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) said over the weekend that it had made significant progress on a new, more efficient memory architecture that packs more data into less space. The news spooked investors because CXMT is China's leading rival to global memory makers such as Micron, SK Hynix and Samsung. Micron was down 3.7% in premarket trading, SK Hynix's Korean-listed shares closed 10% lower, and Samsung Electronics fell 7.4%. CXMT soared nearly 466% in its July Shanghai STAR Market debut and still carries a market cap of 3.46 trillion yuan ($520 billion). Its share of the global DRAM market has risen to around 10% from about 4% a year earlier, according to an HSBC note, and Apple has reportedly begun testing its DRAM chips for devices sold in China.
- Not Nvidia. Not Micron. This Under-the-Radar Artificial Intelligence (AI) Chip Stock Could Be the Biggest Winner in 2027.
Marvell (MRVL) could attract more investor attention in 2027 through custom AI chips and high-speed interconnect technology, which the article compares to the recent shift in how investors view memory stocks. At its investor day, Marvell estimated a total addressable market of nearly $400 billion by 2030, with about $37 billion in interconnect revenue and $30 billion from custom silicon by fiscal 2031. Nvidia invested $2 billion in the company in March, and Google received warrants tied to up to $120 billion in potential chip purchases through fiscal 2033. Marvell raised its fiscal 2028 revenue target to $20 billion from $18 billion and expects $70 billion to $90 billion in fiscal 2031, nearly 10 times fiscal 2026 at the midpoint.
- CoreWeave's not-so-secret weapons: Price hikes and an Nvidia trump card
Over the past week, neocloud providers came under heavy pressure after CoreWeave's bond selloff, but the article argues the panic will likely prove premature. Neoclouds are well positioned to raise prices through at least 2028, and Nvidia's support could calm investors in CoreWeave and other neoclouds. Rising prices signal that demand remains strong.
- “Zuck’s Net Worth Pops $8.37B In A Single Day On Muse News, but Little Known Storonsky Actually Made More”
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mark Zuckerberg's net worth rose $8.37 billion in one day to $263 billion, while Nikolay Storonsky's rose $9.30 billion, a 45% jump described as his biggest one-day gain on record, to $29.7 billion. Zuckerberg's gain followed Meta's launch of two AI models, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, and Meta closed Monday at $742.96, up 3.38% on the day. Storonsky's gain relates to a $115 billion valuation of Revolut, his private company, which had been reported since July through a secondary share sale; the article suggests the index likely updated its estimate after the market closed on Monday. The piece stresses that all net worth figures are third-party estimates, and that for private companies a large one-day jump often reflects a change in how the index values the company rather than a change in market prices.

- AMD or Broadcom: If I Could Only Own 1 AI Chip Stock Through 2030, Here's My Pick
AMD and Broadcom have both benefited from the AI boom, with AMD shares up 421% and Broadcom up 285% over three years. In Q2, AMD's revenue rose 50% year over year to $11.5 billion, its data center segment reached $6.7 billion (up 107%), and non-GAAP EPS hit $1.66 (up 246%), with AMD projecting a $220 billion CPU opportunity and a $1.4 trillion AI accelerator opportunity by 2030. Broadcom's fiscal Q3 2026 revenue grew 86% to $29.6 billion, with AI semiconductor revenue up 221% to $16.7 billion, and it projects $115 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028. The author gives a slight edge to Broadcom on valuation, at 19.4x forward earnings versus 39.5x for AMD, though AMD's EPS is growing faster. Broadcom's margins could decline as lower-margin AI chip sales take a larger share of its total revenue.
- AI's 'Black October': Critical PHP flaws set off global security scramble
Cybersecurity teams worldwide are rushing to patch critical flaws in PHP, a language some estimates say is used by nearly 70% of websites. Researchers at Google's Wiz and AI firm Calif found the major vulnerabilities in August using advanced AI models from OpenAI and Google, and as warnings spread, governments and businesses scrambled to respond. Figma's John Milinovich said several dozen cyberattacks in just two days would each have been the worst of an entire year, while Anthropic's Jason Clinton warned the landscape will likely get “a lot worse” and that the sector must hold on for about 18 months. Former director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs said smaller businesses may struggle to fix serious bugs, and noted that 3% of all critical vulnerabilities ever discovered were found in the past month.
- Why OpenAI could be in trouble if Anthropic's IPO doesn't go well
Manhattan Venture Partners managing partner Jared Carmel says OpenAI's decision to stay private this year may be a strategic misstep, since if Anthropic's upcoming IPO in November does not go well, OpenAI could find it much harder to raise money, especially at its current valuation. He questions whether Anthropic will get the same benefit of the doubt Amazon received in its early years despite years of losses. He points to a shift in token spending, with about 80% of dollars once going to foundational models now moving to open-weight models over the past few weeks. He says this is a longer-term issue to watch over the next 24 months rather than something to resolve today.
- How Apple dethroned Nvidia to become world's most valuable company
Apple has overtaken Nvidia as the world's most valuable company, as Nvidia's stock has fallen about 7.5% over the past month while Apple's has risen about 3%. The commentator attributes the shift to a cooling AI trade, Apple being viewed as a hardware player rather than an AI play, and strong holiday demand for its foldable “Duo” phone priced at over $2,000. Although reviews of the device are described as poor, buyers are still lining up, which could boost Apple's sales and profits as more stock arrives.
- Do Minh Quang detained for spreading false information about Novaland
On October 23, HCMC police announced they had initiated a case and issued an arrest warrant for Đỗ Minh Quang (born 1982) on charges of abusing democratic freedoms to infringe on the interests of the State and the lawful rights of organizations and individuals. Following a complaint from Novaland, investigators found that the Facebook account “Quang Do” was created and used by him to post multiple false claims about the company, including that it faced bankruptcy risks. Quang admitted posting the content to attract views, likes, shares and followers. Police are continuing to verify other accounts that may have spread similar misinformation, and urge the public to check information before posting or sharing it on social media.
- Polen Focus Growth Strategy Boosts Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) on AI Monetization Potential
The Polen Focus Growth Strategy portfolio returned 4.46% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 0.92% gain, though its year-to-date net return remained at -8.11% versus the benchmark's 6.30% gain. Software and services holdings helped results, while semiconductor and direct AI capital expenditure beneficiaries faced valuation pressure as investors reconsidered spending, financing and infrastructure returns. The managers rebalanced toward companies with attractive long-term growth, stronger momentum and more visible demand, adding selected semiconductor equipment, power infrastructure, payments and data-storage firms while trimming or exiting other holdings. In its Q3 letter, the fund highlighted Meta Platforms (META) amid AI monetization potential, even though the stock fell 13.89% over one month and closed at about $648.85 on October 21, 2026, with a market capitalization of about $1.65 trillion.
