- Meta’s Raising $97.5 Billion. Nvidia and AMD Are Buying In.
- Nvidia's New $3 Billion AI Bet Is on One of Its Own Customers
Nvidia announced plans to invest $3 billion in Meta Platforms, one of its biggest customers, as part of Meta's recently announced stock offering. The companies will expand their technical partnership on Muse, Meta's AI assistant, and the model family that powers it, aiming to improve both training and inference. Meta plans to deploy more Nvidia hardware, including Vera Rubin GPU systems, Vera CPUs and networking technology, while work on tools for securing and monitoring AI agents remains exploratory with nothing agreed. The article notes the announcement does not say how much new business Nvidia gains, since Meta was already a major customer and the engineers had been collaborating. The author sees the deal as Nvidia deploying cash while Meta needs capital, but says Nvidia's growth depends on continued AI spending, with last quarter's revenue at $96.2 billion and data center making up over 90% of sales.
- NVDA Stock Alert: What to Know as Nvidia Invests $3 Billion in Meta
- Nvidia Just Announced Plans to Pour Billions Into Meta's Muse
Meta plans to raise a total of $95 billion to support its AI spending, including a $35 billion underwritten public offering of Class A shares and a $60 billion sale of non-voting Class C shares starting early next year. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have expressed interest in buying up to $5 billion of Meta's Class A shares, with Nvidia contributing $3 billion. Meta also plans a 2-for-1 stock split on Jan. 19, 2027, issued as a stock dividend. The company expects 2026 capital expenditures of $135 billion to $145 billion, roughly double the $72.2 billion spent last year. Meta's shares are down 16% over the past year and trade at 21 times earnings, while Nvidia, with revenue and profit growth above 100%, trades below 28 times earnings; the author argues both are attractively priced despite the risk of slower AI spending.
- Meta's deal with AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom: Is circular financing a risk?
Madison and Speaker A discuss Meta's deal involving Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia, with Nvidia taking part in an equity issuance, and whether the circular nature of the financing is a concern. Madison notes that Mag 7 companies are mentioned throughout the S-1, and that circular funding has been common for these firms without causing major problems for investors before. The more interesting question is whether market patience is wearing thin for neocloud companies that need heavy funding to build infrastructure. Speaker A cites a Goldman report and Torsten Slok of Apollo saying AI spending will peak in the fourth quarter, along with Gartner's view that the downturn will be ugly when it comes, though not for everyone as large companies absorb smaller ones.
- Nvidia and Meta expand their AI partnership: What to know
Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta's equity offering, as Meta expanded its planned equity raise from 95 billion to 97 and a half billion. The common stock offering sold 25 billion, above the expected 22 and a half billion. The hosts note that although called a partnership, Nvidia is mostly selling chips to Meta, and the market may still read the deal as a bullish signal. They total recent financing deals, including a potential $100 billion Anthropic IPO, Meta's raise of roughly $100 billion, a $40 billion SpaceX GPU financing and a $63 billion Broadcom-Anthropic financing, at about $300 billion over 48 hours. They ask where the payoff for all this financing will come from.

- Asia stocks fall as Alphabet, Samsung results disappoint; more tech earnings loom
Asian stocks fell on Thursday as disappointing results from Alphabet and a sell-off in Samsung Electronics weighed on tech shares. Alphabet shares slumped about 10% in after-hours trading after results missed expectations and signalled heavy AI infrastructure spending, while Microsoft gained about 3%. South Korea's KOSPI fell about 3% as Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) dropped nearly 6% despite record third-quarter earnings, on a semiconductor profit miss and no immediate details on extra shareholder returns. Samsung's mobile unit posted an 800 billion won operating loss on higher memory costs. The KOSPI had rallied nearly 7% on Wednesday after SK Hynix (KS:000660) jumped 11% on strong profit and a 100 trillion won ($75 billion) shareholder-return plan.
- Cambodia's gold reserves hit a record high
According to the IMF, Cambodia's official gold reserves reached a record 57.3 tonnes (about 1.84 million ounces) in the first half of 2026, up 5.3% from 54.4 tonnes at end-2025.

- Nvidia Shareholders Have a Major Reason to Be Bullish After Jensen Huang's Latest Announcement
At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.
- Vietnam's public debt is around 34% of GDP
Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng said at a dialogue with WEF CEO Stephan Mergenthaler at the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on 28 October that Vietnam's public debt is about 34% of GDP, leaving fiscal room to support people and businesses during economic shocks and to fund strategic infrastructure. He outlined five measures to strengthen resilience: keeping political and social stability and macroeconomic fundamentals sound; improving institutions and legal frameworks; building modern infrastructure and promoting science, technology and digital transformation; reforming education and vocational training; and broadening foreign relations. Vietnam aims to become an emerging hub for digital technology, new energy, green energy and green agriculture by 2035, and a reliable link in regional and global supply chains.

- Trump methane policy rollback may have minimal impact on crude prices, EPA says
The EPA's own economic modeling projects that President Trump's proposed rollback of methane emissions rules would lower U.S. crude prices by only 11 cents a barrel in 2027, or 0.14%. CLSA analyst Baden Moore said uncertainty over implementation and the policy's durability could limit producers' investment, and that it would affect only a small share of the U.S. shale market. The proposal would allow lighter requirements based on production levels or extraction methods, scrap the Super Emitter Program, and project about $45 billion in savings from 2027 through 2050, mostly from lower compliance costs. The EPA also projects 60 million short tons of additional methane emissions over that period, and the proposal remains subject to public comment and further review.
