Nvidia shares fell for a second straight day, down 2.3% to $216.16 by mid-morning Eastern time and about 11% below their 52-week high of $243.37. The sell-off has spread across AI and semiconductor stocks, with 20 of the sector's most valuable companies losing more than $1 trillion in market value this week, and South Korea's Kospi plunging more than 7%. TSMC reported a sixth straight quarter of record profit, with net income up nearly 69% and revenue up 51%, and forecast fourth-quarter sales of as much as $54.3 billion, yet its shares fell about 4% as gross margin slipped to 66.4%. Cited factors include higher rate expectations after the 3.7% inflation reading, financing concerns for AI infrastructure (CoreWeave's bond yields spiked toward 15%), and fears of memory-chip oversupply.

- Jensen Huang Declares NVIDIA Can Win “in the Absence of Any AI Labs”
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said on the BG2 podcast that about a third of the business, classical computing unrelated to AI labs, is growing 30% to 40% a year, while frontier labs account for roughly 25% to 30% of compute. In the three months to July 26, 2026, revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion, with AI clouds, industrial and enterprise revenue up 138%. Steve Eisman cited a 10-Q line showing 70% of NVIDIA's accounts receivable comes from five customers, though the article notes receivables are not the same as revenue share. NVIDIA trades at 17.7x forward earnings, near its three-year low of 17.5x and well below its 30.3x average.
- Nvidia Stock Could Be Headed for a Significant Revaluation
The article argues NVIDIA could reach $400 in 2027, a gain of about 79% from $223.55. Second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8%, with Data Center sales rising 117% to $89.02 billion. The average analyst target of $328.72 implies about 47% upside, and fiscal 2028 EPS estimates have been revised upward. At $400, shares would trade near 25x forward earnings, versus about 14x today and 21 to 23x for the S&P 500. Key drivers include Vera Rubin orders and top-five hyperscaler capex rising from nearly $800 billion in 2026 to $1.3 trillion in 2027, while risks include memory costs that could push gross margin to 71% to 72%.
- AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop
AI stocks recovered part of last week's steep losses on Wall Street on Monday, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% after its worst week since June and the Nasdaq up 1.7% on technology strength. Most U.S. stocks outside AI and tech were falling, while the Dow gained a modest 0.2%, or 111 points, as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern. European indexes dropped more than 1%, with Paris down 1.5%, after violent weekend protests that could push governments to boost spending and pressure bond markets. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.12% from 5.09%, while Brent crude fell 1.4% to $108.35 a barrel. Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit.

- AI stocks lead a rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop following protests
AI stocks rebounded on Wall Street on Monday after last week's steep losses, with the S&P 500 up 0.9% and the Nasdaq up 1.7%, while the Dow rose only 0.2% and most stocks outside AI and tech fell. European indexes dropped more than 1% after violent weekend protests, with Paris down 1.5%, and European bond yields rose on worries that governments would need to spend more, particularly in France. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.12%, near its highest level since 2002, while Brent crude fell 1.4% to $108.35 per barrel. CoreWeave rose 2.9% after tumbling 25.2% last week, Nvidia added 2.1%, and Cleveland-Cliffs jumped 15.1% after reporting a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit.

- TSMC stock sinks despite record profit amid 'extremely robust demand' for AI chips
TSMC (TSM) shares fell 4% even though the contract chipmaker posted a sixth straight quarter of record profit, with profit up nearly 69% and revenue up 51%, amid a deepening sector-wide sell-off. Sales for the current quarter are expected to reach as much as $54.3 billion, above analyst estimates. Third-quarter gross margin was 66.4%, down from 67.7% in the second quarter, and the company guides 65% to 67% for the fourth quarter. CEO C.C. Wei said demand for leading-edge technologies remains extremely robust, while CFO Wendell Huang reiterated a 2026 capital budget of $60 billion to $64 billion and said capex from 2026 to 2028 will be significantly higher than in the past three years. The stock is up more than 41% year to date and hit record highs earlier this month after Elon Musk acknowledged early talks on a possible collaboration on his Terafab chip initiative in Texas, which TSMC confirmed it is exploring alongside its Arizona expansion.

- Waymo Will Be “a Trillion Dollar Business. Easy” per VC Investor
Bessemer Venture Partners' Sameer Dholakia says Waymo could become a trillion-dollar business by expanding from ride-hailing into personal car ownership, trucking and logistics. The article notes Bessemer invested in Waymo's $16 billion February round, which valued the company at $126 billion. Waymo reached 500,000 paid rides a week in March, but Sacra estimates its annualized revenue at only $355 million in February, under 0.1% of Alphabet's $403 billion in 2025 revenue. Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.
- AWS Margin Expansion and Retail Execution Power Amazon (AMZN) in Q3
Wedgewood Partners reported that its Wedgewood Composite returned 2.5% net in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 2.3% for the S&P 500 and 0.9% for the Russell 1000 Growth.

AWS backlog of around $500 billion is more than double last year's level and up 37% from 90 days earlier, and Wedgewood said this demand supports a plan to double AWS capacity from circa 2025 levels by 2027.

As of October 16, 2026, Amazon closed at $250.00, with a market capitalization of $2.7 trillion and a 21.22% gain over the past year.
