Tây Ninh province held a launch ceremony for sub-projects 2-4 and 2-5 of the HCMC Ring Road 4 project, a PPP (BOT) expressway running from Thầy Cai canal to Hiệp Phước Port, with a combined length of about 78.3 km and total investment of about VND 43,298 billion. Sub-project 2-4 covers about 42.55 km from Thầy Cai canal to the HCMC - Trung Lương expressway, with investment of VND 20,485 billion, while 2-5 covers about 35.75 km from there to Hiệp Phước Port, with VND 22,813 billion. Both will initially be built as 4-lane expressways designed for 100 km/h. After a 90-day peak campaign, compensation has reached over 94% of the land area requiring clearance, and six resettlement areas and service roads are under construction. Chairman Lê Văn Hẳn targets opening both sections in 2029 and has asked contractors and investors to shift focus from procedures to construction and schedule control.

The province said it is drafting the proposal with a target of completion in 2028–2029, with a comprehensive draft due in November 2026 and the dossier to be submitted to the Party Committee by 28 November. Meanwhile, the Deputy Prime Minister asked the province to achieve economic growth of at least 10.5% in 2026, exceed budget revenue estimates by at least 10%, and disburse 100% of public investment capital.
- AI Is Now the Top Reason for Layoffs. For Some Workers, It’s Also a Path to Starting a Business.
Per the article, AI has become the leading reason U.S. employers cited for layoffs in 2026, accounting for about 21% of announced job cuts. Amazon announced nearly 16,000 cuts, Meta about 8,000 positions (close to 10% of its workforce), and Block more than 4,000 (nearly half its staff), while Challenger attributed 7% of U.S. layoffs announced in January to AI. New business applications reached nearly 4.2 million in the first eight months of 2026, up about 17% from the same period in 2025, though the article notes these figures don't prove AI is behind the surge. Laid-off workers could combine industry experience with AI tools to launch low-cost businesses, but customer relationships still depend on the human touch.
- Rocket Thrusters on a Road Car Arrive as EV Makers Split Into Winners and Laggards
The IEA's Global EV Outlook 2026 reports that global electric car sales grew 20% to over 20 million in 2025 and are expected to reach 23 million in 2026, or 28% of total car sales, with part of this momentum tied to the energy crisis from the Middle East conflict. Global EV sales rose 35% in Q2 from Q1 2026 and set quarterly records in 50 countries, while the U.S. market slowed after federal incentives of up to $7,500 were eliminated. China accounted for over 80% of battery cell production in 2025. Among automakers, Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster with production slated for 2028 and reported Q3 deliveries of 486,532, down 2%; Rivian delivered 19,248 vehicles, up roughly 45%; Lucid delivered 3,806 vehicles after producing 2,954; and GM's U.S. EV sales fell to 25,213 from 66,501. The most active lithium carbonate contract on the Guangzhou Futures Exchange fell 11.8% on October 12 to 104,740 yuan per ton, and Albemarle shares dropped 4.2% in pre-market trading.

- Roblox Is Now Down 38% in 2026: Is RBLX Stock Dead Money or Poised for a Comeback?
Roblox stock is down 38% year to date to $50.41, with a late-September court ruling letting a Los Angeles County child exploitation lawsuit proceed and a Jefferies downgrade to Underperform adding pressure. Jefferies argued the rally after the Q2 report priced in too much bookings growth, which rose only 8% to $1.6 billion in Q2 even as daily active users grew 10% to 123 million. Safety changes, including a mandatory age check, had already led Roblox to cut its full-year revenue growth forecast to 20% to 25% earlier this year. For Q3 2026, Roblox forecasts a year-over-year bookings decline of 14% to 18%. Take-Two (down 20%) and GameStop (up 31%) year to date suggest the pressure is specific to Roblox, and the article frames the key test as whether bookings stabilize while user growth continues.
- Super Micro (SMCI) Won Over $60 Billion in Orders, Is the Discount Deserved?
A contractor linked to Super Micro Computer (SMCI) pleaded guilty earlier this month to helping ship servers with advanced Nvidia chips to China, a case prosecutors say involved billions of dollars of U.S. AI technology, though the company says it was not named as a defendant and its operations are unaffected. Sales for the fiscal year ended June reached $39.1 billion, up from $22.0 billion, with CEO Charles Liang citing more than $60 billion in new orders, several hundred added enterprise customers, and a record backlog. Management guides to $65.0 billion to $72.0 billion in fiscal 2027 sales, and sales have grown about 61.5% a year over five years. Gross margin was 10.8% for the full year but rose to 17.5% in the June quarter, with net income of $1,178 million, while the trailing 12-month operating margin was 7.09%. The article notes the stock trades at a much lower multiple of expected earnings than the sector, and that one strong quarter does not yet prove a new margin level.
- Is Nvidia Stock Really Trading for Just 8 Times 2030 Earnings?
Nvidia is the market's most valuable company, with a market cap above $5 trillion. It trades at 27 times adjusted trailing earnings, but only about 8 times analysts' estimate for fiscal 2030 earnings, a figure the author stresses is a moving target. Revenue growth accelerated from 56% in Q2 FY 2026 to 106% in Q2 FY 2027, though guidance points to a slight slowdown in the current quarter. The stock trades at 13 times next year's earnings, and the board recently authorized a record $150 billion in share repurchases. The author also acknowledges risks such as slower growth or contracting net margins.
- California billionaire tax could backfire, Stanford study says
Stanford economists Benjamin Jaros and Joshua Rauh argue in an NBER working paper that California's proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth could raise far less than projected and ultimately reduce state revenue. Seven billionaires, including Peter Thiel, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have publicly left the state, removing about $540 billion, or 30%, of California's billionaire wealth from potential taxation. The authors estimate the measure could generate only about $30 billion, versus the $100 billion projected by proponents, while losing $1 billion to $3.5 billion a year in income tax revenue could leave the state about $39 billion worse off in present-value terms if those losses persist. The measure, Proposition 40, goes to voters next month, and a Citrin-Politico poll found 46% of likely voters in favor and 43% opposed. Supporters, including Nobel laureates Daron Acemoglu and Joseph Stiglitz, argue the tax will fund health care and that California has attracted more venture funding since the proposal was announced.
- US Orders Civilian Agencies to Rip DeepSeek Out of Government Systems
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday ordered civilian federal agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party services built on the model from their IT systems, and to stop buying them. The notice warns that using DeepSeek may transfer sensitive data to China and could produce intelligence on U.S. persons and agencies. The Commerce Department, the Navy, and the states of New York, Tennessee and Virginia had already restricted DeepSeek. The FCC votes on October 29 on barring Chinese labs from testing electronics for U.S. use.
- NVIDIA Stock And 2 Other Undervalued Stocks To Own
Rising interest rates have pushed down bond prices, with 10-year U.S. Treasuries recording one of their steepest multi-year declines since the 18th century. The article highlights three U.S. stocks that a Simply Wall St cash flow screen considers attractively priced relative to their future cash flow potential: NVIDIA, Wells Fargo and J.B. Hunt Transport Services. NVIDIA generated about US$275.4b from Compute & Networking and US$27.6b from Graphics, with a market cap of US$5,170.6b, and the piece notes that an open-source or cheaper alternative to its CUDA platform could weaken its moat. Wells Fargo, with a market cap of US$251.7b, grew average loans 12% and average deposits 10% year over year in 2Q26 after the removal of its asset cap, while J.B. Hunt, with a market cap of US$21.3b and US$13.3b in revenue, recorded record intermodal volume of over 578,000 loads in Q2 2026.
