- Applied Digital Insiders Just Bought More Shares. Should You Join Them?
Applied Digital’s CEO and president combined to buy $6.7 million of shares on Oct. 16, as the stock fell more than 30% over the past month. The company builds AI data centers, and CoreWeave is among its largest customers under 15-year leases worth up to $11 billion in revenue for 400 megawatts, or $1.83 million per megawatt annually. Revenue rose 322% year over year to $341.9 million in its fiscal 2027 first quarter, though the company remains unprofitable as costs climb. The author argues the colocation model and long-term, low-value contracts limit Applied Digital compared with Nebius, which signs short-term deals at $40 million to $50 million per megawatt a year. The author concludes the stock looks oversold, but pure neoclouds are a better way to approach the opportunity.
- Microsoft earnings live: Microsoft to report Q1 earnings with Wall Street looking for further Azure growth

Capital expenditures, including leases, are expected to top $45.9 billion, up from $19.3 billion a year earlier, and remaining performance obligations are expected at $705.6 billion, up 77% from $389 billion.

- Amazon's EPS Is "Absolutely Exploding," Says Josh Brown. Here's What the Stock Needs to See October 29
Amazon (AMZN) reports third-quarter results after the close on Thursday, October 29, with its forward P/E at 28x, near a five-year low and well below its five-year average of 49x. Normalized EPS rose from $2.90 in 2023 to $7.17 in 2025, and analysts expect $13.37 in 2028. The stock has lagged this earnings growth amid concerns over AI infrastructure spending: Amazon expects about $220 billion of capex this year, free cash flow was a $7.6 billion outflow over the 12 months to June 30, and long-term debt doubled to $128.9 billion in the first half of 2026. The article says the report needs to show AWS growth near Q2's 37% (up from 17% a year earlier), an AWS operating margin holding near 39.4%, and operating income at or above its $22.5 billion to $26.5 billion guidance.
