The article predicts Nvidia (NVDA) stock will trade roughly flat versus today's price by the end of 2027, despite a market cap of about $5.3 trillion. Second-quarter revenue rose 106% to $96.2 billion and net income rose 32% to $59.7 billion, driven largely by a 117% jump in data center sales. Goldman Sachs analysts expect AI-related capex by tech companies to exceed $1 trillion in 2026. Risks include data centers making up over 90% of revenue, and a Columbia University paper arguing that 9% of GDP would need to go to AI services to justify current investment levels. The stock trades at a forward P/E of 23.5, but the author argues the AI industry shows bubble signs and that Nvidia's lack of diversification leaves it exposed to a spending slowdown.

- Is AMD Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold Right Now? Here's What I'm Doing.
AMD stock is up about 140% so far in 2026, while rival Nvidia is up about 13%. AMD is catching up in AI after lagging early, with deals with hyperscalers such as OpenAI lifting second-quarter data center revenue 107% year over year to $6.7 billion. Analysts expect growth of 41% next quarter, 57% in the fourth quarter and 75% in 2027. The author argues this growth is already priced in: AMD trades at 68 times forward earnings, versus 27 times trailing earnings for Nvidia. Given this valuation, the author says the stock is more likely to underperform or lose value, and suggests investors may consider rotating into Nvidia and taking profits.
- Nvidia Looks Cheap. Here's 1 Reason I'd Still Be Cautious.
Nvidia shares have risen more than 1,700% since a cyclical low about four years ago, driven by demand for GPUs used in AI data centers, and trade at a P/E of 27 versus the S&P 500 average of 26. Revenue in fiscal 2027's second quarter reached $96.2 billion, up 106%, and analysts forecast 91% revenue growth for fiscal 2027. The author notes that five customers accounted for 70% of accounts receivable and that Nvidia provides financial support, such as stakes and credit, to customers including CoreWeave, OpenAI and Anthropic, a practice that faces allegations of circular financing. Drawing parallels to the dot-com bust and rising interest rates, the author argues that if this approach backfires, shareholders could face significant losses, and has changed the rating from 'buy' to 'hold'.
- Prediction: $10,000 Invested in Nvidia Will Be Worth This Much by Late 2029 -- If the AI Spending Boom Continues
Nvidia shares have risen 410% over three years as of Oct. 23, and the stock trades around $211. The author projects that a $10,000 investment could reach about $45,000 by late 2029 if EPS grows 65% a year from fiscal 2026 through fiscal 2029 and the P/E stays near 26.7. That bull case depends on the five big hyperscalers spending more than $1 trillion a year on AI capex from 2027 through 2030, according to a Vanguard forecast. The bear case cites a sharp slowdown in AI spending, competition from peers and customer-developed chips, and EPS growth of only 15% to 20% a year, which could also compress the multiple. The author leans toward the bear case while acknowledging very high uncertainty, and suggests watching hyperscaler capex and revenue at Anthropic and OpenAI.
- This Is SpaceX's Biggest Risk, and It's Not What You Think
The article argues SpaceX's biggest risk is its AI infrastructure build-out, now its main growth driver, rather than its high valuation or upcoming share lock-ups. Musk has set targets of 3 gigawatts of compute by the end of 2026, 13 gigawatts by the end of 2027 and 20 gigawatts next year, with data centers to be built exclusively on Nvidia's next-generation platform. Using Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's figure of about $50 billion per gigawatt, the article estimates SpaceX could spend $500 billion on capex next year, far above the up to $220 billion Amazon plans this year. Because SpaceX's operating cash flow is minimal, it would likely need substantial debt and possibly equity, while added capacity could weaken returns on short-term rentals. The article also flags the five- to six-year lifespan of GPUs and the planned Terafab foundry as added pressure on cash flow and margins.
- HIVE Digital Technologies secures $129 million loan for Cohere AI cluster
HIVE Digital Technologies has secured a roughly 129 million USD fixed-rate loan from an institutional lender, signed by its subsidiary BUZZ Alpha Cloud, to buy GPUs for its sovereign AI contract with Cohere. The loan carries a fixed rate of 9% over three years and is secured by the GPUs and related assets, after which HIVE will own the GPUs outright with no residual payment. The financing covers about 80% of the cost of a 165 million USD cluster of 2,303 NVIDIA GB200 GPUs, with HIVE funding its equity contribution from 0% convertible bonds. The cluster is contracted to Cohere at a fixed 225 million USD total contract value, and the loan is to be repaid from contract revenue. No common shares are being issued in connection with the loan, and GPU delivery is expected toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2026.

- Intel Server Sales Jump 78%, Q4 Outlook Dims: Rapid Earnings Reaction
Intel reported quarterly revenue of $16.5 billion, up 21% from a year ago, with data center and AI revenue reaching $7.3 billion, up 78%, its strongest data center revenue growth in 15 years. GAAP gross margin rose to 43% from 38.2%, but GAAP EPS fell to $0.60 from $0.90, as last year's quarter included a $5.45 billion gain from selling most of its Altera stake and the diluted share count rose after heavy stock sales, including a $23 billion public offering this quarter. For the fourth quarter, Intel guided revenue to $15.0 billion to $16.0 billion, below this quarter, and GAAP gross margin to 37.1%; the article suggests lower sales spread across fixed costs could explain much of the margin drop, though the company did not explain it. Demand for server chips is outpacing Intel's production, but a PC slowdown is expected to last through the first half of next year. Shares fell about 18% in early after-hours trading.

- Amazon's mixed Q3 earnings raises some questions
Amazon's AWS grew 39% in the third quarter, slightly above the roughly 38% consensus, but the speaker said the beat was not large enough after stronger cloud acceleration reported by Microsoft and Google. Overall revenue missed estimates, mainly due to retail, which includes advertising. Amazon kept its full-year CapX outlook at $220 billion, while third-quarter capex came in well above estimates, implying a sizable step-down in the fourth quarter. The speaker sees the capex cycle rising but very lumpy, with some quarters potentially reaching $80 billion and others around $40 billion.
- After Another Strong Quarter, XPO Sees More Room for Margin Improvements
XPO, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, posted another strong quarter, with North American revenue growing in double digits excluding fuel and margins improving. Total revenue rose 12.4% to $2.37 billion, slightly below the $2.38 billion estimate, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 26.6% to $433 million and adjusted EPS jumped 59% to $1.70, above the $1.57 consensus. Adjusted operating ratio improved 260 basis points to 80.1%. Tonnage per day rose 5%, which Chief Strategy Officer Ali Faghri attributed to market share gains and a rebound in industrial demand, while pricing rose in the mid-single digits. Faghri said XPO is on track to meet its 2021-2027 goals a year early and could bring the adjusted operating ratio to the low 70s if demand keeps growing.
