Oracle and Google announced that Google's TPUs will be available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), the first time Google TPUs are offered on a hyperscale cloud outside Google. OCI will provide the power, cooling and datacenter networking needed to deploy TPUs at scale, letting customers choose the infrastructure that fits each AI workload. Google says TPU 8t for training can cut frontier model development cycles from months to weeks, with nearly 3x the compute performance per pod versus the previous generation, while TPU 8i is designed for inference and the iterative work of many specialized agents. Oracle's Mahesh Thiagarajan said offering multiple AI compute architectures in one cloud gives customers flexibility in performance and economics.

- Oracle Rises 5% as Google TPUs Come to Oracle Cloud and NVIDIA Deal Expands; Amazon Nudges Higher, Microsoft Treads Water
Oracle shares rose 5% to $132.28 in afternoon trading, though they remain down 31% year to date, after the company said Google will offer its Tensor Processing Units through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) starting next year, the first time Google offers the chips on a hyperscale cloud outside its own platform. Oracle and NVIDIA also plan to expand OCI's Vera Rubin superclusters to multi-gigawatt scale and made NVIDIA's Vera Rubin systems and Vera CPUs generally available on the cloud. In Q1 FY2027, cloud infrastructure revenue rose 121% and remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion, but capital expenditures of $28.5 billion pushed free cash flow to negative $5.4 billion. The article notes that TPU chips arrive next year and ramp slowly, while the multi-gigawatt build-out demands heavy spending that could keep pressure on cash flow and the balance sheet for several quarters. It says Oracle must show that TPU capacity arrives on schedule and that early customers commit to it at scale.
- Oracle, in effort to reduce reliance on Nvidia, adds AI chips from Google, Cerebras, and SambaNova
Oracle is diversifying its AI cloud infrastructure by bringing chips from Google, Cerebras and SambaNova onto its networks, aiming to reduce reliance on Nvidia's processors. It marks the first time Google is selling its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for use in a third-party data center rather than only renting capacity. Cerebras' chips will provide AI inference and agent processing, while SambaNova's SN50 processor will handle agentic inference. Companies are cutting dependence on Nvidia to avoid single-supplier lock-in and contain costs, though Oracle is also adding Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72 superclusters and Vera CPUs, and is partnering with OpenAI on Oracle AI Workspace and Oracle AI Security Mesh.
- Oracle integrates ChatGPT, Codex into apps and expands cloud chip lineup
Oracle expanded its collaboration with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT and Codex into its applications so databases are easier to act on, and it is making Google's TPU chips and OpenAI's Jalapeño chip available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Cerebras will also run on the cloud, with Cerebras shares up about 8% and Oracle shares up nearly 5% on Tuesday. Oracle said it has 30-40 data center projects in development per quarter and maintains that the Project Jupiter site in New Mexico is on schedule despite local pushback, with an air quality permitting hearing set for Dec. 7 in Sunland Park. Oracle shares are down more than 30% this year over concerns about financing its AI infrastructure pipeline, and investors are looking to its investor day for clarity on fiscal year 2030 revenue targets and cloud deal margins.
- I Keep Buying Alphabet Expressly Because of Chips and Interest Rates
The author keeps buying Alphabet because it designs its own AI chips, runs them in its data centers and sells the full stack, even though chip spending and rate sensitivity deter many investors. Google Cloud revenue reached $24.768 billion in Q2, up 82%, with a Cloud backlog above $460 billion. Total revenue rose 24.2% to $119.80 billion, operating income reached $40.77 billion, and interest coverage stood at 175.5x. Risks include long-term debt rising from $46.5 billion to $98.2 billion, free cash flow of -$5.855 billion as capex hit $44.924 billion, and the halt to buybacks. The article also notes that the P/E is lifted by a $99.03 billion gain on equity holdings.
- Prediction: This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Will Be the Biggest Winner of 2027
The author expects AI stocks to lead the market higher again in 2027, with a rotation from pure-play infrastructure suppliers toward hyperscalers that control most AI spending. He argues Alphabet will be the best-performing AI mega-cap, citing the dot-com era, when hardware makers built the foundation but companies like Amazon and Google captured most long-term value. He says Alphabet's custom TPU chips give it a payback of about a year on chip investments, versus two to three years for Amazon, and that it also sells these chips to Anthropic with design partner Broadcom. He contends Alphabet controls every layer of the AI stack, from chips and the Gemini model to cloud, Search, YouTube, Chrome, Android, and advertising, creating an 'AI flywheel'.
- Alphabet set for earnings beat as Cloud and AI chips take centre stage
BofA expects Alphabet to post a modest third-quarter earnings beat, with revenue of $111.4 billion and GAAP EPS of $3.07, versus Street estimates of $111.0 billion and $2.98. Cloud growth is seen at 93%, above the 89% consensus, driven by expanding capacity and TPU sales, while Search growth should match the Street's 15% although BofA's checks point to some deceleration. BofA expects operating expenses of $33.5 billion, below the Street's $34.3 billion, and 2026 capital expenditures of about $200 billion, close to consensus. It reiterated its Buy rating, citing differentiated AI assets, proprietary models, custom silicon and broad distribution.

Although the stock is up 165.04% year to date, it sits about 32% below its 52-week high of $329.73.
- Can Apple charge $38.99 for new Siri AI?
In a discussion hosted by Laffer Tengler Investments, CEO and CIO Nancy Tengler and panelists examined whether Apple (AAPL) could charge $38.99 a month for a Siri AI subscription. They compared the move to Microsoft, which raised its E5 license from $60 to $90 when it added Copilot, and said Apple appears to be taking a similar approach at a slightly higher price. Panelists noted Apple's advantage in controlling the full stack from chip to software and its large ecosystem, while Siri has typically been seen as the weaker assistant, so Apple is pushing to improve it. Several said the price is high given that free AI products such as Muse and an upcoming Anthropic product are available, so the product would need to be clearly worth it.
- Anthropic's IPO could be 'speculative fiction' or a 'generational moment' — investors are split
Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows 1,300% annual sales growth, 900% net revenue retention and an implied 85% gross margin, but also roughly $80 billion in half-year net losses and hundreds of billions of dollars in compute commitments. The company was valued at $965 billion in May and is reportedly seeking an IPO valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, which would place it among the 10 most valuable U.S. tech companies. It has more than 11,900 enterprise customers spending at least $100,000 in the prior year, over 1,900 spending $1 million or more, and roughly 250 spending $10 million or more; five customers accounted for about a quarter of revenue in the first nine months of 2026. Investors are divided: Janus Henderson's Denny Fish calls it a 'generational moment' but says key details are still missing, New Constructs' David Trainer calls it 'a huge Wall Street grift' and cites concerns over insider selling and competitive position, and Roger McNamee describes the S-1 as 'speculative fiction'. Anthropic still has to run its roadshow, set the offer price and allocate shares before listing on Nasdaq under the ticker 'ANT'.
- Meta Platforms Stock Falls Despite Posting Strong Q3 Numbers. Should Investors Buy the Dip?
Meta reported Q3 revenue of $64.6 billion, up 26% year over year, but its bottom line was hit by a $9.9 billion charge tied to a legal settlement over social media and mental health litigation. Excluding that charge, operating income would have been $22.9 billion, up 12%. Meta forecasts revenue of $73 billion to $76 billion for the current quarter, above the $73.7 billion analysts expected. Free cash flow turned negative at $2.1 billion from positive $10.6 billion a year earlier, as capex rose to $34.9 billion from $19.4 billion amid heavy AI spending. The stock is down around 20% from its high and 15% over 12 months, trading at a forward P/E of 18 versus the S&P 500 average of 19, and the author takes a wait-and-see approach.
- Conagra and Campbell's Have Already Cut Their Dividends in 2026. Could General Mills Be Next?
Food makers Conagra and Campbell's have both cut their dividends this year amid inflation and the rise of GLP-1 drugs that curb appetite. General Mills has kept its dividend intact so far, with a 7.2% yield. In its latest quarter, net sales fell 3% due to the U.S. yogurt divestiture, while organic sales were flat, and adjusted per-share profit was $0.75, down from $0.86 a year earlier. With the current quarterly dividend of $0.61, the payout ratio is around 81%, and trailing 12-month free cash flow of $1.6 billion exceeds the $1.3 billion paid in dividends, a buffer that is not large. The author sees no clear reason for an imminent cut but says investors should watch the dividend closely, noting the stock is down 45% over five years.
