- Amazon and Intel Plunge After Disappointing Results, Fueling Wall Street's Nerves About AI Spending
Amazon shares fell about 3% and Intel plunged more than 25% on Friday as the Nasdaq Composite dropped over 2%. Amazon reported third-quarter revenue up 12% to $201.9 billion and AWS growth of 39%, but kept its roughly $220 billion capital-spending forecast for this year, pushing free cash flow for the 12 months to September to negative $42.4 billion. Intel's revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion, driven by a 78% jump in its data center and AI business, but its forecast of $15 billion to $16 billion for the fourth quarter and continued PC weakness disappointed investors. Alphabet had fallen 13% on Thursday over heavy spending, while Microsoft remained free-cash-flow positive and avoided the initial selloff.

- Amazon Says It Will Start Selling Its AI Chips to Other Companies in 2027
In its third-quarter call on October 29, 2026, CEO Andy Jassy said Amazon will start selling its Trainium AI chips to outside companies in late 2027, but named no buyers, prices, volumes or revenue targets. Diluted EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.96 consensus, and shares fell 7.30% to $226.00 after hours, following a 4.25% regular-session drop. Trailing 12-month free cash flow was a $42.4 billion outflow against about $220 billion of 2026 capital spending, and selling chips outright books revenue sooner than renting them through AWS over a five-to-six-year life. The open-sourced TorchNeuron software lets PyTorch code run on Trainium and could weaken NVIDIA's CUDA lock-in, though NVIDIA still leads with data center revenue of $89.02 billion in one quarter, up 117%. AWS sales rose 39% to $46.0 billion, while supply of advanced chips remains the main constraint.
- Wall Street tech rout deepens on doubts over AI spending
US tech giants' shares were battered on Friday after a week of earnings that left Wall Street questioning whether the AI spending boom is sustainable. Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta are on track to spend more than $700 billion on capital investment this year, much of it on AI infrastructure, according to analyst estimates. Intel shares sank as much as 30 percent after a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue forecast, citing weak PC demand and manufacturing bottlenecks. Amazon shares fell after it missed third-quarter expectations, while Alphabet dropped 12 percent on Thursday, its worst day since the 2004 IPO, as search advertising weakened and one analyst called the returns on its AI investments 'not very good'. Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers said the tech stocks had been priced for perfection, so anything less than perfect could hurt them.
- Trump’s Commerce Department’s Intel Stake Fell By More Than $10 Billion In A Day As Stock Craters
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) shares fell 28.41% to $65.91 at 10:29 a.m. ET on October 30, 2026, from a $92.07 close on October 29. Third-quarter revenue rose 21% to $16.5 billion and adjusted EPS beat estimates, but fourth-quarter guidance of $15–16 billion in revenue and $0.25 in adjusted EPS fell short of expectations, and Intel projects the PC market shrinking 12% in 2026. The Commerce Department bought 433,323,000 new shares for about $8.9 billion under its August 2025 agreement, and the stake is now worth about $28.56 billion, down about $11.34 billion in one session but still about 3.2 times its cost. The article identifies the foundry unit's $1.85 billion third-quarter operating loss as the weak spot and notes Intel has declined to name its foundry customers.
- Treasury Department announces new Series I bond rate of 5.51% for the next six months
The U.S. Treasury set a new 5.51% annual rate for Series I bonds bought from Nov. 1 through April 30, up from 4.26% for purchases through Oct. 31. The rate combines a 4.08% variable portion tied to inflation and a 1.40% fixed portion, the highest fixed rate since 2006 and up from 0.90% announced in April. Inflation has picked up, with the consumer price index rising 3.7% in September 2026 from a year earlier (3.4% in August), partly due to the Iran war pushing up gasoline and energy costs. Experts say investors who redeemed I bonds as rates fell could return if inflation pushes rates up. A holder's fixed rate stays the same for the whole holding period, while the variable portion resets every six months. Bonds cannot be redeemed within the first year, and redeeming within five years forfeits the last three months of interest.
- Why Deutsche Bank says the AI dollar is here
Deutsche Bank told clients on Friday that the dollar's role as a safe haven should not be taken for granted in an AI-driven market correction, after tech stocks and the dollar sold off together. George Saravelos, the bank's global head of FX research, said the U.S. relies on foreign equity inflows to an unprecedented degree, and these inflows currently finance the entire U.S. current account deficit. He estimated that roughly 90% of the more than $20 trillion in U.S. equities held by foreigners reflects price gains rather than additional buying. He warned that if an equity shock is U.S.-centric, the dollar-equity correlation could turn positive, making the dollar add to equity losses and prompting hedging shifts. He said risks to the dollar are now far more two-sided than the market has priced in over the past few weeks.
