- SK Hynix, Nvidia and Micron send a clear message to investors as stocks slip from highs
Several major AI-chip players, including SK Hynix (SKHY), Micron (MU) and Nvidia (NVDA), are signaling that buybacks will boost shareholder returns as their stocks sit below record highs. After a sixth straight quarter of record sales and profits, SK Hynix said it will repurchase 30 trillion won (about $22 billion) of stock this year, following a 40 trillion won program announced in August; its shares rose 7% in pre-market trading after falling 24% in the prior month. Micron's board authorized discretionary buybacks of up to $35.16 billion, the largest in the company's history, with purchases expected to begin after Dec. 9, when Chips Act restrictions lift. Nvidia issued a new $150 billion buyback plan in late September, bringing its total authorization to $235 billion, and Citi analyst Atif Malik said the expanded program reflects the view that AI-driven free cash flow can support both strategic investment and substantial shareholder returns.
- 4 Reasons American Express Stock Is Having Its Worst Year Since 2015 Despite Record Earnings
American Express (AXP) reported strong third-quarter 2026 results on Oct. 23 and raised full-year guidance, forecasting record EPS of $18.30 to $18.60 ($17.60 to $17.90 adjusted) and 10% revenue growth. Yet the stock is down 15.3% year to date, which would be its worst annual decline since 2015. The article points to a decade-long rally that outpaced earnings (452.8% total return versus 322.1% for the S&P 500, with earnings nearly tripling), and to rising card member reward, business development and services expenses that have gradually narrowed gross margins. Other concerns include a possible consumer spending slowdown if cost-of-living pressures or asset prices weaken, and AI-related spending, including a $336 million restructuring charge after a 5% cut in global headcount. The article asks why the stock has become so inexpensive given its business model, record earnings and credit quality.
- Deputy proposes refunds for social housing buyers if unreasonable costs are found
Deputy Nguyen Ngoc Son (Hai Phong delegation) commented on the draft amended Housing Law at the afternoon session on Oct. 28, agreeing with social housing development and management rules but asking for clarity on how prices are set. Under the draft, investors can build the project themselves or hire consultants to verify prices before approval, and must audit and settle investment costs after acceptance. Son proposed publicly disclosing the components of sale and rental prices, independent post-audits by risk level, and a duty to refund buyers when costs are unreasonable or invalid. He also called for income criteria tied to local prices and living costs, linking housing data with land and population data to curb speculation and misuse, and shifting from boosting supply to meeting residents' ability to pay.
- 10 Stocks Warren Buffett and His Successor, Greg Abel, Plan to Hold Forever
Greg Abel took over as Berkshire Hathaway's CEO after Warren Buffett retired on Dec. 31, and in the first quarter he sold 16 stocks while buying Alphabet. Still, Buffett's 2023 letter and Abel's first shareholder letter both named stocks the company plans to hold long term: Buffett labeled eight companies, including Coca-Cola, American Express, Occidental Petroleum and Japan's five trading houses, as indefinite holdings, while Abel expects four companies, including Coca-Cola and American Express, to compound over decades. Coca-Cola, American Express and Moody's, held since 1988, 1991 and 2000, show yields on cost of 65%, 45% and 41%, respectively. Abel has also favored Japan's trading houses, which have traded at more attractive P/E multiples than U.S. stocks. Apple remains Berkshire's largest holding even though Buffett sold 75% of its stake over nine quarters, and its P/E is now almost 40, compared with 10 to 15 times earnings when Buffett began buying in 2016.
- Strategy's Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Will Soar Past $100,000 Over the Next 12 Months. Here's Why He's Right.
Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest Bitcoin treasury company, predicts Bitcoin will surge past $100,000 within the next year and spark a new bull market. At the time of writing (Oct. 26), Bitcoin traded near $80,000, so it would need to gain about 25% to reach that target. Bitcoin peaked at $126,200 in October 2025 and fell to $57,700 earlier this year. The article notes that Bitcoin has historically followed roughly four-year cycles, and it gained 155.4% in 2023 and 92.2% in 2019, the years following earlier bear market bottoms. Risks cited include the possibility that the bottom has not yet formed, a weaker economy, and rate hikes: the Fed raised rates in September, and markets expect another hike by year-end.
- Treasury yields tick higher ahead of Federal Reserve interest rate decision
Bond yields edged higher early Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's policy decision, due later in the session. The 10-year Treasury yield, the main benchmark for mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt, rose more than 2 basis points to 5.0134%, while the 2-year yield, which tracks short-term Fed moves, rose 1 basis point to 4.7494%. The 30-year yield climbed more than 1 basis point to 5.3200%. CME FedWatch data showed a 90.6% probability that the FOMC will keep rates unchanged at 375-400 basis points, while expectations for a 25 basis point hike at the Dec. 9 meeting stood at 76.5%. Investors will watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's statement for signals on future policy, and Thursday's PCE inflation, GDP and personal income data for more insight into the economy.
