Nvidia has gained about 7x over the past five years, and a recent pullback has not erased most of those gains. The article questions whether the company's cash flows can still support its current share price. Its discounted cash flow (DCF) model, based on last-twelve-month free cash flow of about $126.7b, puts intrinsic value substantially above the $210.96 share price. The price stays below that value largely due to concerns over the durability of AI-driven cash flows, including risks from highly indebted AI infrastructure customers such as CoreWeave. The article also cites a P/E of 26.4x.

- Tech Sell-Off: 2 Growth Stocks Investors Might Wish They'd Bought on the Dip
The author notes many AI stocks are pulling back, with the Nasdaq-100 down 5.5% in the last week alone, and argues that broad market sell-offs have historically been followed by recoveries to new highs. Duolingo (DUOL) trades 73% below its record high, with 58.7 million daily active users (up 23%) and a target of 100 million by 2028; its price-to-sales ratio is about 6 versus a five-year average of 14.4, and its P/E is about 16.6. SentinelOne (S) reported record annual recurring revenue of $1.2 billion, up 22%, with ARR from its AI products almost tripling, and its P/S of about 6.7 compares with 10.2 to 43.3 for CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks and Zscaler. The author considers both companies potentially worth a long-term look if the tech sell-off intensifies.

- Flying Cars, Smart Homes, and Cracks in the AI Boom
This Motley Fool podcast, recorded Oct. 16, 2026, debates smart homes, flying cars, AI wearables and the recent sell-off in AI infrastructure stocks. The hosts view Apple's HomeView as a refined, incremental product that reinforces existing advantages rather than redefining the category, and note Apple is entering a home-device market already crowded with players like ADT and SimpliSafe. They compare Block's new restaurant device with Toast's established share and question whether Siri can justify a possible $19-a-month charge. The discussion also touches on a flying Tesla Roadster referenced for 2028.

- 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.

- Netflix Just Posted a Record Margin. So Why Is Wall Street Panicking?
Netflix reported third-quarter revenue up 12% to $12.9 billion, a record 34.6% operating margin and $2.88 billion in free cash flow, yet its shares are down roughly 50% from their highs. The drop reflects worries over viewing: the company reported no growth in watch hours, and third-party data show its US TV viewing share stuck around 8% while YouTube pushes toward 15%. Several content executives have been let go and a rare round of layoffs carried out, with CEO Ted Sarandos reportedly frustrated by the lack of new hit shows. Netflix is broadening its offering with sports such as NFL games, live events, reality TV, podcasts and shorter series to compete with TikTok and YouTube. The author argues that a P/E of 19, one of the company's lowest valuations in years, makes buybacks more attractive at lower share prices.
- Stanley Druckenmiller Has Bet Big on This 1 Healthcare Stock. Here's Why I Disagree.
Stanley Druckenmiller's largest position last quarter was Natera, a company that develops blood tests analyzing DNA for prenatal screening, organ transplant monitoring and cancer care. Natera processed over 1 million tests last quarter, up 22% from a year earlier, and revenue grew 37.7%; Druckenmiller added to his stake. The company is also working with Nvidia and Amazon to draw insights from its data using AI, which could aid precision medicine. However, the stock is up 250% over five years and trades at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of 21, well above its long-term average. The author notes that the last time Natera traded at this P/S level, it was followed by a 70% price drawdown, and suggests investors sit on the sidelines for now.
- SPCX, SMCI, NOK, TSLA, NFLX: Why Retail Traders Couldn’t Take Their Eyes Off These Stocks Last Week
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the company secured a $40 billion financing arrangement to buy advanced AI chips, after third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.58 billion. Nokia beat expectations on third-quarter earnings on AI and cloud demand, but its stock fell over 10% during the week on worries about supply shortages, high costs and reliance on major cloud firms; Rosenblatt cut its price target to $14 from $15 but kept a 'Buy' rating. Super Micro expects first-quarter revenue of $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, above the $15 billion consensus, and its stock gained 4%. Tesla rose nearly 5% after better-than-expected third-quarter results despite capital expenditures rising 110% to $4.7 billion, while Netflix tumbled 6% on slower revenue growth and a weaker fourth-quarter outlook. Year to date, SPCX, TSLA and NFLX have fallen between 8% and 29%, while SMCI and NOK have gained 12% and 25%, respectively.
- Fuelling Two-Digit Growth
The target of average GDP growth of 10% or more over 2026–2030 requires very large investment capital. According to Dr. Cấn Văn Lực, Chief Economist at BIDV, Vietnam needs to sustain growth in total social investment of about 13–15% a year, with total investment needs estimated at 280–300 billion USD a year, while the state budget is expected to cover only about 22%. The capital mix still relies heavily on banks, while the stock and corporate bond markets have not yet realised their potential, so developing channels outside bank lending is needed. Dr. Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hà noted that as of the end of Q3 2026, public investment disbursement reached only 62.9% of plan (central agencies 44.1%, localities 73.6%), while investment capital grew 15% at current prices but only 7.6% at comparable prices. A narrowing government bond yield spread between Vietnam and the US could add pressure on foreign capital flows and the exchange rate, so flexible, controlled exchange rate management, stronger FX reserves and inflation control are needed.
- Musk says SpaceX raised $40 bln in debt, warns of neocloud collapse
Elon Musk said SpaceX closed 40 billion USD in debt financing to buy AI chips and warned that more than 200 specialised cloud providers face widespread failures and consolidation as credit tightens. He said debt markets have almost shut off funding for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX secured the loan thanks to its investment-grade credit and revenue from Starlink and rocket launches, unlike neocloud providers that rely on renting computing capacity to AI developers. The debt mainly funds GPUs expected in Q1 and Q2 2027, following earlier reports that SpaceX sought 40 billion USD for Nvidia chips. Investors are increasingly concerned about debt-funded AI infrastructure, with neoclouds such as CoreWeave and Nebius exposed to financing costs and demand uncertainty.
- Cleaning Up Tax Codes to Open the Way for Businesses
The Tax Department launched a campaign in May 2026 to clean up tax identification numbers (MST) for about 600,000 businesses that have stopped operating but have not completed the termination procedures or no longer operate at their registered address. As of end-August 2026, tax authorities had terminated MST validity for nearly 125,000 enterprises, branches and organizations, up about 30% from end-2025, while more than 52,000 cases were confirmed to have met tax obligations for dissolution and over 4,000 businesses had their MST restored. The campaign sorts cases by status and risk, supporting compliant firms while screening for abuse of legal entities, such as registrations using citizen ID cards without business activity or illegal invoice trading. Coordination among tax, business registration, police, customs and local authorities is seen as key, and the tax department urged businesses that have stopped operating to check their MST status and remaining obligations.
