Nvidia shares closed nearly 3% higher at $221.97 on Wednesday, their best day in over a month, as Michael Burry highlighted a wave of partnership announcements from GTC Berlin. Analyst Gene Munster argued investors still underappreciate Nvidia's full-stack AI strategy, while CEO Jensen Huang said the DSX Pod could cut the time from equipment arrival to token production from four to five months to about one month. Huang also cited nearly $10 billion invested in Europe over the past year, more than 12,000 partnerships in the region, and Vera Rubin performance 30 times Blackwell's in large language model processing. The keynote included no new financial metrics or guidance, and Munster pointed instead to SpaceX's $35-40B December-quarter capex guide as a read-through for Nvidia's earnings. The stock, up 19% year to date, slipped about 1.6% in overnight trading.

- Michael Burry Is Betting Against These 4 AI Stocks. Is He Right?
Michael Burry, known for correctly predicting the 2008 mortgage crisis, is betting against Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and Micron through put options. He argues Nvidia's chips are not being depreciated properly and their usable life will be shorter than expected, and he criticises its circular financing, such as its deal with CoreWeave, which Nvidia has rejected. Burry calls Palantir wildly overvalued, with its stock at 171 times trailing earnings and 84 times trailing sales, while Tesla, with a P/E of 359 and net income down 60% last year, is also a target. On Micron, he worries the memory cycle will turn down, even though its stock is up 220% year to date and trades at 12 times trailing sales. The author agrees Palantir looks overvalued, would not make Nvidia a central holding, and sees Micron as a stock to approach with caution.
- Michael Burry Says Stocks Could Peak Within 9 Months — and He’s Betting Against the Nasdaq and Chip Stocks
Michael Burry has consolidated his bearish exposure into puts on the Nasdaq-100 and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SMH), keeping longer-dated puts on Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and closing other bearish positions. His forecast points to a possible market peak within nine months, but the report lacks the portfolio weights, premiums or exposure figures needed to show whether his overall bet grew. The semiconductor ETF is up more than 67% year to date, and Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor and AMD together make up 34.5% of its holdings. The article also notes that time decay can erode an option even when the direction is right, and that these puts expire in April and June 2027, possibly before a late-window peak.
- Michael Burry Is Bearish on Palantir, Which Is Up 19% Over the Past Year, but His Oracle Short Just Got a Boost From a 53% Stock Drop. Is His AI Bubble Bet Still Worth Following?
Michael Burry, who made his fortune betting against the U.S. housing market before the 2008 crisis, remains bearish on AI overinvestment even after disbanding Scion Capital. He holds put options on Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle, but so far only the Oracle bet has paid off, while Nvidia and Palantir have not fallen as he expected. Burry argues the market is in denial and propped up by borrowed money, and says this denial phase lasted six to nine months before previous crashes. He has also criticized Nvidia’s chip depreciation math, while buying MercadoLibre and Deckers Outdoor. The author concludes that AI investors should still follow this bear case to maintain an objective view.
- NVIDIA unveils modular AI factories to cut data centre deployment to 14 days
NVIDIA unveiled the DSX POD reference design, a modular AI factory that packages computing hardware, networking, power systems and liquid cooling into pre-integrated units, cutting on-site deployment time from 6 months to 14 days. Introduced at GTC Berlin, the design will be delivered through partners including Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Schneider Electric and Vertiv, with deployments planned from early 2027. The move supports Jensen Huang's push for Europe to build its own AI infrastructure, with NVIDIA citing nearly $10 billion committed to Europe's technology ecosystem and more than 12,000 partners in the region. The keynote also introduced the OpenShell reference architecture, which adds security controls restricting AI agents' access to files, networks and digital tools, and showcased industrial demos at Siemens, Dassault Systèmes and Lila Sciences.
- European Ecosystem Builds World's Most Efficient AI Factories With NVIDIA DSX
NVIDIA announced at GTC Berlin on October 21, 2026 that leading European ecosystem partners are adopting its DSX AI Factory Platform to build AI factories that use less water for cooling and less power for the same output. DSX reference designs use closed-loop liquid cooling with dry coolers instead of evaporative cooling towers, which could reduce facility cooling water use to near zero; at a 2 gigawatt scale this could save 54 million liters a day, equal to the daily water use of 180,000 households. DSX MaxLPS allocates power dynamically and can generate the same number of tokens with up to 30% less power, while DSX Flex lets AI factories act as flexible loads to support grid reliability. Several AI cloud providers, including CoreWeave, Google Cloud and Nebius, are exploring or planning to use these technologies.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
