- Nvidia's $1.1 Billion KYEC Deal Is the Small Number in a $279 Billion Supply Bet
Nvidia is giving KYEC a $1.1 billion capacity reservation advance to build new U.S. chip-testing facilities, with high-volume production targeted for April 2027, as one of six supplier deals announced together. Substrate agreements with IBIDEN, Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Unimicron target 2.5 times today's capacity over three years, and Amkor plans to grow advanced packaging capacity by more than 300% by end-2028. Nvidia's supply and capacity commitments rose to $279 billion as of July 26, from $119 billion a quarter earlier, mainly for memory and manufacturing facilities. The article notes the cash test is tighter: free cash flow fell to $21.40 billion in the July quarter from $48.59 billion, while inventory more than doubled to $21.40 billion at the end of fiscal 2026. The next checkpoint is Nvidia's Q3 fiscal 2027 report, expected November 18.
- NVIDIA and Supply Chain Partners Expand Capacity to Accelerate AI Infrastructure Buildout
NVIDIA announced plans with several supply chain partners, including IBIDEN, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Unimicron, Amkor, KYEC and SPIL, to expand global manufacturing capacity amid strong AI demand. It aims to raise substrate capacity 2.5x over the next three years. Amkor plans to lift advanced packaging capacity by more than 300% by the end of 2028, while KYEC will build new U.S. testing facilities backed by a $1.1 billion capacity reservation advance from NVIDIA. SPIL targets a 15x increase in optical-engine capacity for co-packaged optics by mid-2027. The moves are aimed at strengthening the resiliency and redundancy of NVIDIA's supply chain.
- Taiwan plans $4 bln Texas park to support Nvidia's AI supply chain - Bloomberg
According to Bloomberg, Taiwan's Economy Minister Kung Ming-hsin said Taiwan plans to develop multiple industrial parks in the US to strengthen the supply chain for AI hardware makers, with each complex requiring up to $4 billion in investment. The first site will be in Texas and aims to help smaller Taiwanese suppliers set up US operations to serve companies such as TSMC and Foxconn. The government is partnering with the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association to raise funds, and will offer loan guarantees and help suppliers navigate local and federal regulations. The move comes as Taiwan faces pressure to meet investment commitments under its trade deal with Washington and to reduce geopolitical risks tied to tensions with China. TSMC has pledged $265 billion for US expansion, while Foxconn and Wistron are also increasing American production capacity.

- Nvidia, Chipmakers Face Higher Costs? TSMC Reportedly Plans Up To 20% Price Hike For Advanced Chip Packaging
Citing supply-chain sources, Taiwan's China Times reported that TSMC is preparing to raise advanced packaging prices by 10%–20% as surging AI chip demand strains capacity. The increase could raise costs for Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD and add pressure on the prices of Apple's (AAPL) iPhones and MacBooks. Demand for CoWoS packaging is expanding beyond GPUs to server CPUs and custom AI chips, with monthly capacity expected to exceed 130,000 units in 2026 and 200,000 units next year. TSM hit a record high on Oct. 5 but has since been caught in an AI-stock selloff, though it is still up 40.5% year to date. NVDA has fallen about 11% from its Oct. 6 record close but is up 16% year to date, while retail sentiment on Stocktwits was bullish for NVDA and AMD and bearish for TSM.
- SOXX, SOXL, SMH Plunge As Chip Stocks Sell Off Amid Supply Chain Concerns
Semiconductor stocks reversed an early-week rally and plunged on Thursday after LAM Research CEO Tim Archer said that going into 2027, supply chain constraints for certain components will continue to limit chipmakers' and equipment companies' ability to meet end demand. Nvidia fell more than 4%, Micron more than 6%, and AMD over 8%, while Intel, Broadcom, Marvell and Qualcomm also closed lower. Chip ETFs fell harder: SOXX dropped nearly 7%, SOXL more than 20%, and SMH nearly 6%. Joe Gilbert of Integrity Asset Management said investors have rotated from the Mag Seven into tech more broadly because the AI ecosystem has produced more durable earnings than initially perceived. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for SOXX and SOXL was 'extremely bullish' when the article was written.

- If a Stock Market Crash Is Coming, Take This Advice From Charlie Munger
Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's vice chair from 1978 and Warren Buffett's longtime partner, died in 2023 at age 99. With investors growing nervous about the next market crash, the author turns to Munger's advice on staying patient through downturns. Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data showed hedge funds shorting stocks at their highest level in nearly five years, as the current bull market enters its fifth year. Munger said investors should be able to accept 50% price declines two or three times a century, and the article argues that markets have historically recovered from crashes, while retail investors can hold for longer than institutions focused on near-term results.
- Apple Is at a Record Going Into Earnings. Wall Street’s Target Is Below It
24/7 Wall St. sets a price target of $399.46 for Apple (AAPL), 15.63% above the $345.43 share price, and rates the stock a buy with high confidence. Wall Street's consensus target of $328.35 sits about 4.9% below the current price, while the shares trade 1.8% below their 52-week high of $351.73. Fiscal Q3 revenue rose 16.4% to $109.42 billion and EPS of $2.02 beat the $1.89 consensus, though the stock fell 7.35% on earnings day before gaining 5.25% over the next 30 days. The bull case is $453.63, citing record June-quarter Services revenue of $30.7 billion and a $100B buyback, while the bear case is $338.59, with gross margin guidance of 47%-48% versus 50.1% last quarter and memory costs seen as a margin risk. The September-quarter report is expected November 2 after the close, a date Apple has not yet confirmed.
- Microsoft results to test whether AI investment is paying off

Wall Street expects revenue of about $90.6 billion to $90.7 billion for the quarter ended September 30, up 16.6% from $77.67 billion, and EPS of $4.71 to $4.72 versus $4.13 a year earlier. The revenue consensus sits near the upper end of guidance of $89.85 billion to $90.95 billion. Microsoft has also moved to two reporting segments, Agents and Infra (about 81% of revenue and 88% of operating income based on recast fiscal 2026 figures) and Devices and Consumer. Capital expenditure including leases is expected to exceed $45.9 billion, up from $19.3 billion a year earlier, while remaining performance obligations stand at about $678 billion and recent price targets reach about $665.
- Why Logitech Stock Crashed After Earnings
Logitech shares fell about 11.2% on Wednesday morning despite beating earnings for fiscal Q2 2027: adjusted EPS came in at $1.51 versus a $1.30 forecast, and sales reached $1.22 billion versus $1.21 billion expected. However, sales rose only 3% year over year, GAAP EPS was $1.25 (up 9%), and free cash flow of $148.9 million fell 30% year over year. Logitech attributed the weak quarter to an incident at a semiconductor supplier that disrupted its supply chain, and while that supplier is ramping production again, the company forecasts fiscal Q3 sales to decline 1% to 4% year over year. Trading at about 20 times trailing earnings and 15 times free cash flow, the stock still appears to cost a bit too much, according to the article.
