Tech stocks rebounded Monday even as most of Wall Street stayed weak. Palantir (PLTR) and Datadog (DDOG) each gained over 4%, with chip stocks also recovering from last week's losses. Bernstein upgraded Datadog on stronger AI-related demand, while Palantir announced a government-cloud partnership but faced a potential selling zone around $195–$200. Amazon (AMZN) rose 5% after Morgan Stanley named it a top pick, helping the Nasdaq Composite gain 1.1% and the S&P 500 add 0.4%. CoreWeave (CRWV), however, finished slightly lower at $61.12, just above its July closing low of $60.82, and nearly two-thirds of S&P 500 stocks fell.

- Is Palantir Stock a Buy Right Now ? | The Motley Fool
Palantir (PLTR) went public through a direct listing six years ago at $10 per share and now trades around $186. The article attributes the rise to its Gotham and Foundry data platforms, its Ontology data model, and its Artificial Intelligence Platform, which connects large language models. The company has been profitable since 2023 and joined the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 in 2024. Analysts expect revenue and EPS to grow at 59% and 70% CAGRs from 2025 to 2028, while the stock trades at 87 times next year's earnings. The article warns that rising interest rates and Treasury yields could compress its valuation, and that its controversial reputation tied to immigration enforcement, mass surveillance and military software could weigh on the stock. The author says he would not buy while rates keep rising.

- Anthropic Gives 5% of Itself to the Public. Musk Answers by Giving Away SpaceX Shares
Anthropic will commit 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval, and says roughly 20% of its stock will go to public causes once co-founder and employee pledges are counted. Elon Musk responded by promising one SpaceX share to every U.S. child next year, a giveaway worth more than $10 billion at current prices. The fund follows a draft AI safety bill Anthropic pitched to lawmakers, which would let the government block models posing a risk of killing or injuring more than 50 people or causing over $1 billion in damage. Anthropic is preparing an IPO as soon as November at a reported valuation of around $2 trillion, which would put its 5% stake at about $100 billion on paper rather than in cash. The fund is a wholly owned LLC rather than a nonprofit, and it cannot be used for lobbying or political donations.
- Power company announces an important decision
CTCP Nhiệt điện Quảng Ninh (QTP) says its board approved the EPC contract for package 05 of its flue gas treatment upgrade project, signed with the SEC-Pacific joint venture of Shanghai Electric Group and CTCP Tập đoàn Thái Bình Dương on a fixed-price basis. The contract is worth over 89.75 million USD and nearly 902 billion VND, about 3,271 billion VND in total, with 38 months to complete. SEC-Pacific was the only bidder to pass technical evaluation, as rival CISDI failed to reach the minimum score. The company has also appointed two deputy general directors this year, Nguyễn Công Kiên from 12/8/2026 and Dương Thành Công from 16/10/2026, after former board member Lê Việt Cường was arrested in February 2026 over alleged forgery of documents. For the first six months of 2026, net revenue reached nearly 6,359 billion VND, up over 10%, and profit after tax about 524 billion VND, up over 44%, already exceeding its full-year 2026 profit plan.
- Aeroméxico Reports Unaudited Third Quarter 2026 Results
Aeroméxico reported unaudited third-quarter 2026 results, with record revenue of $1.6 billion, up 13.6% year over year, driven by international passenger demand, premium cabins, loyalty and cargo, which grew 15.8%. Fuel expense rose 57.6% to $469.0 million as jet fuel prices hit historic highs, but adjusted EBITDAR reached $389.2 million, a 24.0% margin, and operating income was $189.6 million, an 11.7% margin. The company recognized $48.7 million from an updated loyalty program breakage estimate, its first such alignment since 2018. Management expects fourth-quarter revenue to grow about 15% year over year, assuming an average all-in fuel price of about $4.5 per gallon and an exchange rate of 18.0 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar.
- Why Berkshire's Latest Move Proves It's Not Really a Warren Buffett Company Anymore
Greg Abel took over as Berkshire Hathaway CEO at the start of 2026, though Warren Buffett and Abel are reportedly in regular contact on investment decisions. Berkshire has taken a stake in Milan-based Bending Spoons, investing $600 million in its IPO over the summer and adding $330 million since, a position of about 0.4% of its portfolio. The author argues this is out of character for Buffett, who was skeptical of acquisitive companies and prefers consistent, predictable earnings, while Bending Spoons buys and turns around troubled software businesses. The author sees the move as a possible turning point toward more risk-taking and tech investment under Abel, and suggests a wait-and-see approach to the stock until his investment choices become clearer.
- Solana treasury firm SkyAI sells all SOL holdings, launches $201M buyback
SkyAI, formerly Sharps Technology, has sold its entire Solana (SOL) treasury and launched a tender offer to buy back up to $201.3 million of shares and warrants, reversing its crypto accumulation strategy. As of Oct. 16 the company held about $223.8 million in cash, and the offer covers up to 95% of each class of shares and warrants at a fixed price, no longer tied to SOL's price as originally planned. The company says it will keep building a financial platform that combines stablecoin infrastructure on Solana with artificial intelligence. The strategy began in August 2025 after a private placement of more than $400 million, and by the end of 2025 it had produced about $153 million in unrealized losses. SkyAI shares closed Monday at $2.79, up 5.3% on the day.
- Tech stocks had a nice oversold bounce on Monday. Earnings this week will determine if it's for real
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied Monday as AI and chip stocks rebounded, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) on pace to snap a nine-day slump and the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) up 4%. Last week, the S&P 500 fell nearly 2%, its worst weekly decline since late June, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.5%. Whether the rebound lasts will depend largely on results from big tech names such as Meta and Tesla, as well as SpaceX, which reports after the bell Tuesday. Of the 47 S&P 500 companies that have reported third-quarter results, 85% have beaten expectations, but most tech earnings are still to come. Sameer Samana of Wells Fargo Investment Institute sees the AI selloff as a 'reality check' rather than a full-blown unraveling, though pressure may last through the midterms.
