- Meta's nearly $100 billion stock sale is a turning point for how Big Tech pays for AI
Meta is selling nearly $100 billion of stock to fund AI spending, including $3 billion from Nvidia (NVDA). The offering includes $25 billion of common stock priced at $625 a share, $12.5 billion of preferred stock paying 6.5% that converts to common stock in 2029, and up to $60 billion of a new nonvoting class to be sold gradually from next year. Last quarter, capital spending of almost $34 billion outpaced nearly $33 billion of cash from the business, pushing free cash flow negative for the first time since 2012. Every shareholder also gets a free nonvoting share for each share owned, a structure that grew out of a dispute over Zuckerberg's taxes and keeps his control at about 61% of votes despite owning about 13%. Meta's five-year credit default swaps hit a record 127 basis points before easing, implying nearly a 10% chance of default over five years, up from about 4% a year ago, according to Yahoo Finance calculations.
- Meta reverses losses to rise as investors weigh $35 billion AI funding plan
Meta Platforms shares rose 1% after falling as much as 4% earlier in the session, reversing an initial selloff following the launch of roughly $35 billion in equity offerings to fund its AI infrastructure. The offerings comprise $22.5 billion in Class A common stock through forward sale agreements and about $12.5 billion in mandatory convertible preferred stock, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom have expressed non-binding interest in buying up to $5 billion of Class A shares on the same terms as other investors. Meta also plans a separate roughly $60 billion at-the-market offering of Class C nonvoting shares, expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027, and forecasts 2026 capital expenditures of $135 billion to $145 billion. Free cash flow turned negative in the third quarter as capital spending rose, even though Meta generated $97 billion in operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2026.
- Meta Tested Broadcom’s CPO for 1 Million Port-Hours. What It Found
Micas Networks announced a compact co-packaged optics (CPO) switch built on Broadcom's Tomahawk 6-Davisson chip, with production expected in early 2027. Davisson is Broadcom's third-generation CPO switch and can move 102.4 terabits per second. A paper presented in October 2025 said Meta tested Broadcom's previous-generation CPO switches for one million cumulative device hours without a single link failure, while using 65% less power per lane than traditional pluggable optics. Davisson has not yet published comparable data, and Nvidia's Spectrum-X Photonics CPO switch is already in full production. Broadcom (AVGO) trades at a forward non-GAAP P/E of 30.43x, about 11% above its 5-year average, though analysts expect earnings to rise about 71% this fiscal year.
- The Ultimate AI Investing Basket: 4 Stocks Primed to Skyrocket in 2027
The article argues that AI stocks are selling off after a hot inflation report that could prompt an interest rate increase, but the AI infrastructure build-out is still ongoing. The author highlights four stocks: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), Micron Technology (MU), Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO). Nvidia has told investors it expects 70% revenue growth next year, while Broadcom expects its AI semiconductor revenue to rise to $115 billion next year from about $65 billion this year. Micron trades at about 5 times this fiscal year's earnings, and its management expects market conditions to worsen in 2027 and 2028 even as new capacity comes online in mid-2027. The article also notes that TSMC makes chips for nearly all major tech firms and recently reported a strong third quarter.
- Thinking Nvidia Stock Could Hit $10 Trillion? Here's 1 Reason I'd Be Cautious
The article asks whether Nvidia could reach a $10 trillion market value and urges caution, because its largest customers, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Meta, are developing their own AI chips that could erode Nvidia's pricing power over time. These four companies are projecting $760 billion in capex this year. Nvidia's fiscal Q2 2027 revenue rose 106% year over year to $96.2 billion, with data center revenue up 117% to $89 billion and a 75% gross margin. The author estimates that a $10 trillion valuation at a 25x P/E would require about $400 billion in net profit, versus $120 billion in fiscal 2026. Still, the article notes that Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem keeps its products hard to replace, and investors should watch whether custom chips capture a meaningful share of workloads.
- Here’s What a $10,000 Investment in Nvidia Stock Will Be Worth by 2030
The article estimates what a $10,000 investment in Nvidia, now worth nearly $179,000 after four years of AI-driven gains, could be worth by 2030. Nvidia's revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2027 rose 96% to $177.8 billion, and analysts expect fiscal 2027 revenue of $411.6 billion, with EPS nearly doubling to $9.31. The author cites Jensen Huang's view that chip sales will double in 2027 and a $3 trillion to $4 trillion AI infrastructure opportunity by 2030. Assuming revenue reaches $1.09 trillion in 2030 and the stock trades at half its current 18 times sales, the market cap could reach $9.8 trillion, implying 88% upside and a $10,000 stake worth more than $18,800. The article calls this a conservative estimate.

- Nio's Sales Surged 49%, but There's an Even Better Number Investors Should Know
Nio delivered 300,301 vehicles through September, up 49.2% year over year, across its Nio, Onvo, and Firefly brands. Vehicle gross margin reached 18.5% in the second quarter, up 8.2 percentage points from 10.3% a year earlier, even as the company expanded into more affordable EVs. Management attributed the improvement to a more favorable product mix and cost optimization. Other sales gross margin swung from negative 29% in 2022 to positive 6.6% in 2025, helped by the growing battery-swap network, though vehicle gross margin slipped from 18.8% in the first quarter to 18.5% in the second. Management believes Nio will be net profitable next year, but the article notes the latest results do not yet settle that question.
- Don't Be Surprised If NVIDIA, Micron, and SanDisk Outperform the Market Again
NVIDIA, Micron and SanDisk (NVDA, MU, SNDK) have led the 2026 chip rally, with year-to-date gains of 14.71%, 205.02% and 437.47%, respectively. Estimates have kept rising: NVIDIA's fiscal 2028 EPS to $15.9146 (from $12.7636 90 days ago), Micron's fiscal 2027 to $176.6868 (from $150.0075), and SanDisk's fiscal 2028 to $266.2971 (from $248.4217). At $213.43, NVIDIA trades at 13 times fiscal 2028 estimates; at $300 (a 41% gain) that would be 19 times, still below the S&P 500's 21-23 times. Micron trades at 5 times fiscal 2027 estimates at $869.87, and $1,500 (a 72% gain) would be about 8 times; SanDisk trades at 6 times fiscal 2027 estimates, and $2,000 (a 57% gain) would be 9 times. The article cites at least $93.9 billion in expected revenue from SanDisk's agreements and a $15.5 billion buyback, while noting that memory has always been cyclical.
- Is Trade Desk Stock's Drop A Chance To Buy?
Trade Desk (TTD) lost 76.4% in a year while the S&P 500 returned 15.3%, but its EMEA and APAC regions have each grown almost 30% so far in 2026, per management on the August 6, 2026 earnings call. Total revenue grew only 11.8% in fiscal Q1 2026 and 3% in fiscal Q2, though CTV in both regions rose over 50% in fiscal Q2. Guidance for fiscal Q3 2026 is at least $650 million, below $739 million a year earlier, as management said tariffs and oil prices had set back CPG and auto advertisers. Less investment could slow growth abroad, and news reports said on September 4, 2026 that Trade Desk was laying off 15% of its staff. The regions' growth is the figure to watch when fiscal Q3 2026 results arrive in November 2026.
- Apple (AAPL) vs. MSFT and GOOGL: Is the Post-Earnings Selloff Creating a Long-Term Buying Opportunity?
This article summarizes a bullish thesis on Apple (AAPL) by Natan Rose, published on Research Nuggets' Substack on Aug. 18, when AAPL has since gained 10.92%, reflecting optimism about a stronger iPhone upgrade cycle as early iPhone 18 Pro sales outpace last year's model. Apple reported record revenue of $109.42 billion, up 16%, with iPhone sales up 22% and EPS of $2.02, yet the stock fell 7.35% after earnings as guidance of 9%-11% growth came in below the 12% analysts had hoped for. The article attributes the slowdown mainly to memory chip supply, as DRAM and NAND are increasingly directed to AI data centers, rather than to weaker demand. Risks cited include slower growth with a valuation near 35 times earnings, a CEO transition to John Ternus, and regulatory pressure on App Store fees.
- Russia's diesel output jumps after export curbs are lifted
Russia's daily diesel output rose from 160,000 tonnes in early October to 180,000 tonnes after the government eased export restrictions, allowing companies to ship up to 500,000 tonnes in October. Based on Reuters estimates, a drop in domestic demand after the harvest could free more than 1 million tonnes a month for export. A diesel deal between Presidents Putin and Trump, and a temporary US sanctions waiver for Russian diesel imports, has strained US-Ukraine relations, with Trump urging Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian refineries. Zelensky called Trump's claims “completely false” and argued that the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran and Iran's response had caused severe disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. Russia was previously the world's second-largest diesel exporter, with about 10% of global exports, so supply disruptions could push up prices even in countries that do not import directly.
