- Ending import dependence, Vietnam masters a key technology and manufactures products for domestic demand
The Ministry of Science and Technology says Vietnam has mastered technologies and manufactured several industrial support products that replace imports, including two special steel grades, Duplex and Superduplex, sintered welding flux, WC-Co hard alloy for rock drill bits, flame-retardant fabric and phylon shoe soles. The products are said to match imported goods in quality and are made from domestic raw materials. However, most research results have so far remained small-scale. The ministry argues that science and technology should be tied to the real technology needs of enterprises, covering transfer, absorption, improvement, commercialization and scale-up, with leading enterprises acting as the core of the supply chain.
- Apple Needs Just a 7 % Gain to Become the World Most Valuable Company
Apple (AAPL) closed Wednesday at $342.96, up 0.50%, pushing its market value above $5 trillion at a close for the first time, at about $5.01 trillion. NVIDIA (NVDA) fell 3.16% to $221.30 but remains the world's most valuable company at $5.343 trillion, about $338 billion ahead of Apple. If NVIDIA stays at that close, Apple would need a gain of about 6.8% to pass it. The article links a selloff in CoreWeave and Oracle to concerns over AI debt, and notes both Apple and NVIDIA trade at about 45x earnings. The author argues NVIDIA is the more attractive value at current prices, citing its 106% revenue growth versus Apple's 16%.
- Apple doubled the price of its TV streaming box from $150 to $300, and even the company's hardcore fans are furious
The new Apple TV 4K costs $299, a steep jump from the 2022 model that started at $129, and some longtime owners are sticking with their current boxes. Apple blamed the AI boom, saying data centers are buying so much memory and storage that chip prices have spiked and it couldn't keep absorbing the cost. The new model adds Siri AI, a beta assistant running on Apple Intelligence that can answer questions about on-screen content, and three built-in microphones for hands-free voice control. Siri AI will come to the 2021 and 2022 models via the tvOS 27.2 update but not to the 2017 model or Apple TV HD. Surround sound requires four HomePod mini 2 or second-generation HomePod speakers, with matching front and back models.
- Here's What a $10,000 Investment in Apple Stock Could Be Worth in 5 Years
Apple has a $5 trillion market cap, and its stock is up more than 1,070% over the past decade. The iPhone accounts for roughly half of sales, while the services segment has a much higher gross margin than products (mid-70% versus roughly 40%), letting profit grow faster than revenue thanks to ecosystem lock-in and a 36% share of Google search revenue. The main concern is valuation: the P/E is closer to 40 versus 15 to 20 before the pandemic. The article calculates that at a 20 to 30 times forward P/E, the stock would trade between $330 and $500, a 3% decline to a 47% gain, putting a just-under-$10,000 investment at between $9,570 and $14,500. The author concludes the stock will likely underperform the market over five years and would pass on buying it now.
- Is Apple Stock a Buy During the Holiday Quarter?
The article says Apple is in transition as John Ternus recently took over as CEO from Tim Cook, and that the company benefits from an upgrade cycle but has lagged rivals on AI. Net sales for the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 reached $364 billion, up 16% from a year earlier. Analysts expect 15% growth for the current fiscal year, slowing to 11% in fiscal 2027 and about 8% in the holiday quarter. With a 39 P/E ratio compared with a forward P/E of 29 for Alphabet, the article argues slowing growth makes the stock less attractive, so investors should probably not add shares unless the price falls substantially or technicals improve. It stresses this is not a call for long-term holders to sell.
- LG ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCES NEW SMART HOME ACCESSORIES, DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH APPLE FOR THE APPLE HOME COLLECTION
LG Electronics and Apple announced seven smart home accessories for the Apple Home Collection, including indoor and outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, a smart lock, a smart thermostat and a temperature sensor. The products were co-developed from early planning stages across hardware, software and user experience, so they work together; for example, a single 'Good Morning' scene can adjust the thermostat and tilt an indoor camera, and each accessory is end-to-end encrypted in Apple Home. The lineup launches in the United States and Canada starting in December, with some accessories arriving early next year, while in the UK the cameras and video doorbell will be available from December. The cameras offer up to 2.5K video, low-light color night vision, and recognition of people, pets, vehicles and motion, with built-in local storage for recorded footage.

- Reddit (and everyone else) faces a bleak internet without Google traffic
Reddit said search referral traffic from Google fell meaningfully in the last quarter as Google's shift to AI Mode and AI Overviews stopped sending users to sites, and its stock dropped 30% on Friday. CEO Steve Huffman said people still want Reddit but Google is no longer sending them there as before, and Reddit plans to require all users to create accounts and sign in to access the site. Alphabet lost almost $500 billion in market value after reporting a slowdown in its core search advertising business, partly due to lower profitability of AI ads. Other publishers are turning to subscriptions and partnerships with AI companies, while Google maintains that its AI efforts will create a more profitable business model. Google's P/E ratio has fallen to levels not seen since 2012.

- AppLovin, 8x8, Elastic, Shopify, and F5 shares are falling, what you need to know
Several technology stocks fell in the afternoon session after disappointing earnings from Amazon and Intel, which followed mediocre reports from Alphabet and ServiceNow the previous day. According to CNBC, investors grew wary of heavy AI spending on data centers and computing hardware and of sustained cash burn, and questioned when these investments would translate into revenue and profit growth. AppLovin (APP) fell 8.4%, Shopify (SHOP) 6.8%, F5 (FFIV) 6.6%, 8x8 (EGHT) 6.2%, and Elastic (ESTC) 5.9%. AppLovin has had 53 moves greater than 5% over the past year; its previous big move was a 5.2% gain 15 days earlier, when software and tech equities rebounded as falling Treasury yields drew buyers back after an AI-driven sell-off.
- Here's What $10,000 Invested Equally in SpaceX and Nvidia Could Be Worth in 2030
The author estimates that splitting $10,000 equally between SpaceX (34 shares) and Nvidia (23 shares) could be worth over $52,000 by the end of 2030. SpaceX plans up to 3 gigawatts of computing power by year-end and at least 13 gigawatts by end-2027, with each gigawatt costing about $50 billion on Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. Assuming 10 gigawatts are added each year for five years, the author projects $3 trillion in revenue in 2031; at a 5 times P/S multiple and after dilution, the stock would reach $750 and the 34 shares $25,500. Nvidia earns roughly $40 billion in revenue per gigawatt, and if it sells more Vera Rubin systems to SpaceX without losing other customers, fiscal 2028 revenue could be near $850 billion, with adjusted EPS of nearly $61 in fiscal 2032. Applying a 19 times forward P/E, the author values Nvidia at $1,160 by end-2030, or roughly $26,650 for 23 shares.
- Zeta Global and Commerce stocks trade down, what you need to know
Zeta Global and Commerce shares fell 6.1% and 6%, respectively, in an afternoon session after underwhelming earnings from Amazon and Intel, which followed mediocre reports from Alphabet and ServiceNow, fueled worries about heavy AI spending and cash burn. CNBC reported the selloff spread across technology and hardware stocks, with investors questioning when AI infrastructure investments will produce meaningful revenue and profit growth. The article notes Zeta Global is highly volatile, with 50 moves greater than 5% over the past year, so the market appears to see this news as meaningful but not a fundamental change. Separately, CNBC reported investors were rotating from semiconductors into high-growth software, citing a ballooning U.S. fiscal deficit, higher inflation and slower AI infrastructure spending next year.
- Tech Stocks Are Selling Off. Here's Why I'd Rather Own MercadoLibre Than Any "Magnificent Seven" Stock.
Tech stocks have sold off over rising interest rates and worries about the high cost of AI infrastructure. The author holds and periodically adds to MercadoLibre (MELI), arguing it is less exposed to that spending because it is not a cloud provider: its first-half 2026 capex was $712 million, versus $98 billion for Amazon. The company has built fintech (Mercado Pago) and logistics (Mercado Envios) businesses by turning Latin America's challenges into opportunities. First-half revenue rose 49% to $19 billion, but net income fell 13% to $883 million due to margin cuts and bad-loan expenses. Brazil accounts for about 54% of revenue, and the stock plunged after Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva's surprise reelection, which the author thinks is unlikely to derail the company; the stock trades at a P/E of 45 versus the S&P 500's 26, and its $85 billion market cap is small next to Amazon's $2.7 trillion.
