SpaceX announced its Super Intelligence Partner Network to help businesses build, integrate and scale applications on its Grok AI platform. The network launches with more than 130 participants from technology, finance and management consulting, including Nvidia (NVDA), Apollo Global Management, Snowflake, Databricks and Bain & Co. It has two tiers: Transformation Partners that help clients restructure operations with Grok, and Marketplace Partners that build software integrations linking Grok to corporate databases and security systems. SPCX shares fell about 7% on the day as investors weighed the timing of a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger. The company said weekly paid users of Grok Bot rose above 800,000 as of October, double the previous month.

- Altimeter’s Gerstner: Scale wins superintelligence race as SpaceX plans $400B compute buildout
Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner says whoever has the most scale, capital, compute and data will win the race to superintelligence, as SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) closed at $159.31 on October 21, up 7.79%, after reporting third-quarter revenue of $14.60 billion. He says Elon Musk plans 10 GW of computing power next year, about 25% of U.S. capacity additions and roughly $400 billion of capital, with SpaceX now installing 200,000 GB300 chips a month. Gerstner sees a possible merger with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) mainly as a way to finance that spending, and he argues that lenders value standard NVIDIA GPUs more easily than custom chips, giving NVIDIA pricing power when credit is tight. The article warns that SPCX shareholders bear spending, depreciation and execution risks at a $2.10 trillion market cap.
- US stocks nudge higher as SpaceX , Tesla and Nvidia climb
U.S. stocks drifted near flat on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 virtually unchanged and the Nasdaq Composite up 0.4% in mid-morning trade, as strong profit reports from SpaceX, Capital One and others offset disappointing updates from Netflix and AT&T. SpaceX climbed 11.1% after posting a bigger summer profit than analysts expected, and Musk said the company took a step toward considering a possible merger with Tesla, which rose 3.3% ahead of its results late Wednesday. Netflix fell 4.2% over a revenue-growth forecast below expectations, and AT&T dropped 5.6% over an earnings outlook that fell short, even though both beat profit estimates. Nvidia gained 0.9% and Super Micro Computer rallied 11.4% on stronger demand for AI platforms, while CoreWeave's volatile shares slipped 2.1% after erasing an early gain. The 10-year Treasury yield eased to 5.09% from 5.12%, but remains well above its 3.97% level before the war with Iran pushed oil prices higher.
- MARKETS LIVE : Wall Street opens stronger as AI stocks rally ; FTSE closes higher
Wall Street opened higher on Wednesday as quarterly results from SpaceX and Super Micro Computer boosted AI stocks, with the Dow up 0.30% to 52,652.85, the S&P 500 up 0.31% to 7,736.43 and the Nasdaq Composite up 0.67% to 26,601.73. Super Micro Computer surged 13.46% to $36.84 after raising its preliminary revenue outlook, SpaceX gained 8.04% to $159.66 after reporting its first profit as a public company, and Netflix fell 3.77% to $66.10 after a disappointing forecast. Elon Musk backed the strategic case for merging Tesla and SpaceX but warned a deal is far from certain, since two special committees must agree on terms and Tesla shareholders face a decisive vote; Wall Street analysts expect a merger by the end of 2027. In London, the FTSE 100 closed 0.2% higher at 10,753 points as energy and banking shares offset UK inflation rising to 3.5% in September, above the 3.4% forecast, which strengthened expectations of a Bank of England rate increase in November.

- Why Carpenter Technology Stock Crashed After Earnings
Carpenter Technology (CRS) shares fell 22.2% on Thursday after fiscal Q1 2027 earnings of $3.25 per share beat the $3.04 forecast, but sales of $798.5 million missed the $830.8 million forecast. Revenue still rose 28% year over year to a company record, and bookings for future shipments in aerospace and distribution grew 49%. However, the company generated no free cash flow and burned nearly $25 million on higher capital spending for a brownfield factory expansion, despite $162.5 million in GAAP net profit. The article notes the stock trades at 32x trailing earnings with a PEG ratio of 1.5, against expected long-term earnings growth of 21.5%, suggesting it may be overpriced.
- META Stock Set To Record Worst Day In Nearly Three Months As Investors Fret Over Negative Cash Flows Amid Raised Capex Floor
Meta Platforms (META) shares fell about 6% on Thursday as investors grew anxious over negative cash flow from heavy AI-related capital spending. In the quarter, free cash flow turned negative at $2.12 billion, and the company raised the floor of its full-year capex forecast from $130 billion to between $135 billion and $145 billion. The cost of insuring against default on Meta's five-year credit default swaps hit an all-time high, and the company announced a new nonvoting Class C stock to preserve founder-led governance. Filings show CEO Mark Zuckerberg had considered leaving California if a proposed wealth tax passed, but he said he will stay in the state after the new stock class is implemented. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was bullish, retail chatter rose about 400%, and the stock is down about 2% year to date.
- Moderna shares plunge after leak of partial cancer vaccine data despite positive results
Moderna shares fell as much as 25% on Thursday after partial data from its cancer vaccine developed with Merck leaked ahead of the full results, which were released later that day. The full data appeared positive relative to Wall Street expectations: the personalized vaccine intismeran autogene, combined with Keytruda, reduced the risk of recurrence or death in certain melanoma patients by 42% versus Keytruda alone, and cut the risk of distant spread or death by 38%. Detailed phase 3 results will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology conference this weekend. Investors view the vaccine as a possible breakthrough that could extend to other cancers, and the stock has spiked more than 530% this year on high expectations.
- Meta has big plans for its Muse AI agent
Meta reported better-than-expected third-quarter results with record revenue and announced a 2-for-1 stock split, under which shareholders receive one new Class C share for each share held. The highlight was its Muse AI agent: about 10 million people in the US and Canada have set up the app since launch, mostly for shopping, with average purchases above $200. Zuckerberg said Meta would earn revenue by taking a small cut of sales made through the agent and that compute efficiency could improve 10x within a year, which he believes could make Muse highly profitable over time. TD Cowen's John Blackledge estimates Muse could exceed 1 billion daily active users within five years, and Meta's leadership suggests it could happen sooner.
- GE Vernova Slumps 11% as Meta’s Spending Outlook Stokes AI Financing Worries; Vertiv Holdings Drops 7%, Eaton Slides 6%
Power-equipment stocks fell after Meta's raised AI spending outlook and negative free cash flow revived questions about how AI infrastructure will be financed. GE Vernova dropped 11% to $826.01, Vertiv Holdings fell 7% to $196.42, and Eaton slid 6% to $369.80, while the First Trust smart-grid ETF lost 4%. Meta CFO Susan Li said the company had no specific financing plans yet but was building a capital structure framework, including a new class of non-voting shares, to access a diverse pool of funding. The article flags GE Vernova's $176 billion backlog and over $5 billion in data center orders year to date as exposed if hyperscaler spending slows. The next test is GE Vernova's third-quarter report as hyperscalers finalize next year's budgets.
