- YouTube Is Beating Netflix in the Living Room, but Crypto Bettors Doubt a $12 Billion Ad Quarter for the Alphabet Platform
YouTube is intensifying its push for living-room viewers with exclusive creator shows and a growing subscription business, which Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said is growing faster than advertising, driven by YouTube Music and Premium. A Nielsen report from September 2026 showed YouTube took a record 14.2% of U.S. TV viewing in July, nearly twice Netflix's 7.8%. Alphabet's second-quarter YouTube advertising revenue rose 13% year over year to $11.06 billion. On Polymarket, traders put a 19% chance on third-quarter YouTube ad revenue exceeding $12 billion, while Alphabet is scheduled to report on Oct. 28, with analysts expecting revenue of $128.18 billion and EPS of $3.02. Alphabet Class A shares closed up 1.19% at $320.58 on Tuesday and rose 0.93% in after-hours trading.
- Can Strong Search and Cloud Growth Drive GOOGL's Q3 Earnings?
Alphabet's Q3 2026 results, due October 28, are expected to benefit from momentum in Search and Cloud, according to Zacks. The consensus estimates advertising revenue of $83.523 billion, up 12.6% year over year, Search and other revenue of $65 billion, up 15%, and Google Cloud revenue of $29.16 billion, up 92.3%. Support comes from AI Overviews and AI Mode, which surpassed 1 billion monthly active users in the second quarter, and from AI Max, which has attracted 500,000 advertisers. Alphabet holds 89.94% of the search market per StatCounter, and is the third-largest cloud provider with a 15% share per Synergy Research, behind Amazon's 28% and Microsoft's 20%. The company has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 86.65%.
- Sundar Pichai Reported Alphabet's Cloud Revenue Grew 82% Last Quarter While the Gemini App Reached 950 Million Monthly Users. Is Google Cloud Becoming a Bigger Growth Driver Than Search?
Google Cloud revenue for the latest quarter rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion, adding $11.2 billion amid heavy AI infrastructure spending. Google Search grew more slowly, up 17% to $63.3 billion, but its $9.1 billion increase was smaller than Cloud's, so the author argues Cloud now matters more to Alphabet's revenue growth than Search. The author sees chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude, along with Gemini (950 million monthly active users), as a real risk to search volumes and ad revenue, but notes Gemini also underpins Alphabet's services, including AI summaries in Search. Total Alphabet revenue grew 23% year over year last quarter.

- Bitcoin Treasury Datavault AI Says It Can’t Access Its BTC, Stock Tanks
Datavault AI shares fell 49.55% to $0.067 after an SEC filing said the company has been unable since June to complete a request to withdraw Bitcoin from the Biconomy exchange. The company will restate four financial reports, cutting reported assets by up to $92.2 million, after reclassifying Bitcoin from a $150 million Scilex stock deal as a subscription receivable. Management is reassessing its going-concern status because it had counted the Bitcoin as a source of liquidity, and collecting what Scilex owes is uncertain. Scilex separately signed a binding term sheet in June 2026 to buy 837 BTC held in Datavault's Biconomy wallet for $50 million, subject to a definitive agreement. Datavault stock later bounced to near $0.085.

- AI Spending Is Nearing $1 Trillion Annually. These 2 Stocks Are Most at Risk If It Slows.
AI capital expenditures are approaching $1 trillion a year, driving record results at Nvidia and Micron but raising investor doubts about how sustainable the spending is. Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue for its fiscal 2027 second quarter, with $89 billion from its data center business, so its growth is closely tied to the AI infrastructure budgets of the biggest tech companies. Micron benefits from strong high bandwidth memory demand, reporting fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter revenue of $54.2 billion and $133.2 billion for the full year, but memory is cyclical and an oversupply could push prices down. The article concludes that both companies could be reassessed if AI spending slows, with Nvidia having more to lose.

- Canadian ‘crypto king’ case to go to jury as criminal trial winds down
Aiden Pleterski, a self-described “crypto king” in Canada, faces fraud charges over his alleged role in a digital asset Ponzi scheme, and the case will go to jury deliberations after closing arguments. Pleterski told the court he is innocent, saying he was forced to represent himself and that his innocence would otherwise have been proven. According to CBC, the jury will begin deliberating Thursday after receiving final instructions from Justice Shaun Nakatsuru. He is accused of defrauding about $30 million from social media followers between 2021 and 2022, was charged in 2024, and had waited more than two years for trial; a fraud conviction could bring up to 14 years in prison. Separately, five men, some reportedly victims of the scheme, were charged with kidnapping and torturing him in 2022, and one of them, Deren Akyeam-Pong, pleaded guilty to nine charges and awaits sentencing.
- Microsoft recorded $10 billion in revenue from OpenAI
Microsoft reported $10 billion in revenue from its commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue-sharing payments, in the quarter ended September 30, nearly 11% of its $92.3 billion total quarterly revenue. For the full 2026 fiscal year, OpenAI-related revenue reached $24.1 billion, and at the latest quarterly pace Microsoft would earn about $40 billion a year from these arrangements. Its receivables from OpenAI rose to $7.2 billion at the end of September from $6 billion at the end of June, reflecting amounts owed for past transactions rather than new revenue. The filing does not show how much came from revenue sharing versus Azure cloud services. Under an April 2026 agreement, OpenAI will keep sharing revenue with Microsoft through 2030, subject to a cap, while Microsoft's stake fell from about 25% in June to 24% in September, with no cause specified.
