Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC on Thursday, on the sidelines of the company's GTC conference in Berlin, that demand for neocloud firms is “off the charts” and their capabilities are “extraordinary.” He said the bottleneck is the working capital needed to fuel growth, as AI demand across many sectors has created a scarcity of capital, with demand for capital far exceeding its availability. He added that this gap will be solved.

- NVIDIA Is Finally “Too Big to Fail.” Here’s Why Meta and Google Aren’t.
Semafor's Liz Hoffman argues that NVIDIA is so embedded in the AI ecosystem that the U.S. government would be more likely to rescue it in a serious financial crisis than Meta or Google, though she acknowledges this is a theoretical exercise and no rescue is guaranteed. NVIDIA generated nearly $97 billion in free cash flow in the fiscal year ended January 2026, funding both strategic investments in companies that depend on its infrastructure and shareholder returns. By contrast, Meta and Alphabet spent roughly 60% and 55% of their operating cash flow on capital expenditures in 2025, mainly for their own infrastructure. The article also notes NVIDIA accounts for roughly 8% of the S&P 500, so a significant deterioration in its financial position could affect a broad group of index investors.
- This Nvidia-Backed Cloud Computing Firm Is Reportedly In Talks To Sign A $45B Compute Deal With Anthropic
According to Bloomberg, Anthropic is in advanced talks to acquire about $45 billion of computing power from Nvidia-backed Nscale, centered on a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia that is slated to deliver 460 megawatts using Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips. Final terms are not set, and an agreement could come within days; both companies declined to comment. The site was first intended for Microsoft, which withdrew after signing a preliminary letter of intent. Anthropic already has infrastructure commitments with Nscale worth about $44.6 billion, according to filings tied to Nscale's upcoming public offering. Nscale closed a $3.36 billion pre-IPO round led by Third Point and is targeting a $30 billion valuation for its debut.
- The Trillion-Dollar AI Bet: What It Means for Hyperscaler Investors
The five major hyperscalers, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Oracle, are expected to spend almost $780 billion on capex in 2026, up 87% year over year, and to exceed $1 trillion annually from 2027 through 2030. Financial risk is rising: Alphabet's long-term debt reached $98.2 billion, up 568% from four years ago, and Meta's was $83.7 billion; Alphabet posted negative free cash flow of $5.9 billion in Q2, Meta's free cash flow fell 91% year over year, and both have paused share buybacks. The article stresses that no one knows what returns will follow, and past spending booms such as railroads and telecom led to overbuilt capacity even though the infrastructure later enabled new businesses. Bain & Company estimates AI infrastructure spending could reach $1.5 trillion annually by 2031, and that the AI economy would need $6 trillion in yearly revenue to justify these outlays, with about two-thirds expected to come from innovation that does not yet exist.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will speak about CoreWeave's business when he wants to: Analyst
Analyst Tal Liani argues that Nvidia is financing deals with CoreWeave and other hyperscalers to block competition, ensuring they use Nvidia GPUs rather than AMD GPUs. CoreWeave stock fell 7% early Thursday after a 15% drop on Wednesday, as its corporate bonds were sold amid fears of an AI slowdown and concerns about its precarious balance sheet. The selling spread to other AI cloud stocks: Nebius fell 11%, Oracle dropped another 9%, and DigitalOcean, Hut 8, Cipher, TeraWulf and IREN each sank more than 10%. Nvidia invested $2 billion in CoreWeave earlier this year and now holds 47.2 million shares, around 10% of the company, while CoreWeave is also a major customer that buys Nvidia GPUs to rent out. As of the article, Huang had not commented on X or in an interview about the situation.
- Wall Street Firm Names Amazon Its Top Pick With More Than 30% Upside. Is the Stock a Buy?
Morgan Stanley named Amazon its “Top Pick” with a $350 price target, and analyst Brian Nowak called it a “Rule of 90” company. He now expects AWS growth of 47% next year and 42% in 2028, after Nvidia said Amazon is expected to buy 2 million of its GPUs over the next two years, with AWS revenue rising from $128.7 billion in 2025 to $373.6 billion in 2028. He also forecasts capital expenditures of $355 billion in 2027 and $365 billion in 2028, AWS operating margins of 42% and 44%, and adjusted EPS of $16.50 in 2028. Other catalysts include Amazon’s possible role in AI shopping, a potential partnership with Meta Platforms, and robotics, where every 10% of units processed through robot-powered fulfillment centers could save $2–4 billion a year.

Latest news
- Not Stocks or Real Estate, This Is the First Group of Shares to Benefit as Interest Rates Fall
Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says falling interest rates will affect sectors differently. Construction and infrastructure construction stand to benefit directly from lower borrowing costs and better disbursement progress, while real estate and securities benefit indirectly and later. Securities shares are notable because they fell sharply during the rate-hike period, but the gains become clear only when liquidity improves and capital flows back. Banks may face pressure on net interest margin (NIM) when they cut lending rates to support businesses, although overall bank profits do not necessarily fall by the same amount.
- A High-Profile Stock Faces Simultaneous Net Selling by 16 Funds
HPG remained on the net-selling list for a fourth consecutive month, with 16 funds net selling about 8.3 million shares in September 2026, mainly from PYN Elite, DCDS, DCDE and LVF, according to FiinGroup. Banking was the only sector net bought above VND 1,000 billion (about VND 1,034 billion), while real estate saw net selling of about VND 2,212 billion and financial services about VND 1,347 billion. Funds recorded net outflows of VND 8,600 billion in Q3, the seventh consecutive quarter of withdrawals, bringing nine-month outflows to nearly VND 31,700 billion, up 34.2% year on year. The average return of equity funds fell 6% in Q3, with 87 of 88 funds posting negative results.
- Gloomy market: investor cash on securities accounts falls to a three-year low
Investor deposits at securities companies were estimated at about VND 72,000 billion at end-Q3 2026, down over 12% from the previous quarter and the lowest since end-Q2 2023, marking the second straight quarterly decline. Compared with a record of about VND 131,000 billion at end-Q3 2025, balances have shrunk by about VND 59,000 billion, or roughly 45%. The decline is broad: VPS still leads with VND 12,834 billion but fell 11% in the quarter, TCBS dropped more than 31% to VND 6,225 billion, and SSI stands at VND 5,572 billion, while Vietcap rose over 122% to VND 5,067 billion. Average matched trading value on HoSE was only about VND 14,000 billion per session, down about 23% from the previous quarter and 63% year on year, reflecting more cautious investor sentiment.
- Q3 2026 securities firm update: big names report "backward" profits, two losses of hundreds of billions emerge in the sector
Based on 81 securities firms that have reported, total pre-tax profit in Q3 2026 reached about VND 11,000 billion, down 43% year on year, with 58 firms in profit and 23 reporting losses. TCBS led with VND 2,152 billion, up over 6% and its highest level in company history, while SSI earned VND 1,295 billion (down 27%) and VPS VND 1,119 billion (down nearly 20%). Meanwhile, HDS's quarterly profit more than tripled year on year, ABS rose 552%, and VIX's profit plunged nearly 94% to about VND 192 billion. Nine-month cumulative results stayed strong for many, including TCBS up nearly 13%, SSI up 8% and VPS up nearly 27%.
- A Key Indicator Hints at the Possibility of VN-Index Entering a “New Wave”
The State Bank of Vietnam on October 18 asked credit institutions to cut lending rates for priority sectors, and several commercial banks have also cut deposit and lending rates, raising hopes that capital costs will ease. However, Mr. Đỗ Bảo Ngọc, General Director of Kirin Securities (CSI), says a single rate cut is not enough to move money significantly, and the downtrend must be sustained over the medium term. Liquidity is the most important indicator to watch; continued rate cuts alongside stronger trading value in Q4 or early Q1 next year would be a clearer sign that money is returning. Some experts say a sustained uptrend requires liquidity above VND 20,000 billion per session and large-cap stocks leading, conditions not yet met even though P/E and P/B have fallen to low levels. The article argues investors need not wait for VN-Index to break out to find opportunities, but a sharp stock decline alone is not reason enough to buy.
- A Vietnamese Woman Has Just Added More Than VND 4,000 Billion to Her Fortune
Phạm Thu Hương, wife of billionaire Phạm Nhật Vượng, saw her fortune rise nearly USD 160 million (about VND 4,150 billion), or 4.05%, on October 22, reaching about USD 4.1 billion according to Forbes.
