Stocks opened higher for a second straight day on Tuesday, with semiconductor stocks rising ahead of a Fed meeting and this week's Big Tech earnings. The tech sector (XLK) extended gains after Anthropic's IPO filing lifted it in the previous session, and Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom all rose. Nvidia said it will invest $3 billion in Meta and collaborate on its Muse business, a day after unveiling plans to raise up to $95 billion to fund its AI infrastructure expansion. Brent futures eased below $110 per barrel and WTI to around $100 as the Fed began a two-day policy meeting, with most market participants expecting rates to be held steady. Investors will watch Alphabet and Microsoft's third-quarter results on Wednesday.

- Nasdaq climbs as chip and AI-linked stocks bounce back
The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.18% on Monday as investors returned to chip and AI-related stocks, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index up about 2% after an eight-day, 15.7% slide. The rebound came ahead of major tech earnings, while worries about financing costly AI infrastructure and higher interest rates continued to weigh on the market. Last week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted their biggest weekly drop since late June, and CoreWeave shares plunged over its $50 billion debt load. Amazon rose 4.8% after Morgan Stanley named it a top pick, Cleveland-Cliffs surged about 16% on third-quarter profit above estimates, and U.S. crude rallied about 2.3% to nearly $104 a barrel. Meta and Tesla report Wednesday and SpaceX reports Tuesday, and one analyst cautioned the market is 'far from out of the woods.'
- The hidden opportunity in the tech stock crash
Alex Giuliano of Resonate Wealth Partners and Jay Pelosky of TPW Advisory argue that the recent semiconductor sell-off is a fake-out that creates an opportunity. They say investors doubt the sustainability of AI earnings, leaving chip and memory stocks at very low forward P/E multiples: South Korea's market trades near an all-time low of about five times forward earnings, and Nvidia's forward P/E is at a 10-year low. They point to strong short-term GPU rental demand and ASML's comments that it cannot keep up with demand through 2028, expecting demand to stay robust for several years. They see AI as early, with the agentic AI economy just beginning and the physical AI economy not yet started. They say upcoming earnings from SpaceX and big hyperscalers will test whether investors start trusting the earnings outlook.

- Chip stocks decline as AI-trade rebound fizzles
Chip stocks fell on Tuesday after rebounding from a recent sell-off, as sentiment around the AI trade remained shaky. The PHLX Semiconductor Index, which rose more than 1.5% on Monday, was set to open lower, with Nvidia down nearly 1% and AMD down 2%. Intel shares sank more than 2%, giving back Monday's gains after JPMorgan upgraded the stock to Buy. Renewed AI concerns followed a disappointing market debut by South Korean neocloud provider Elice, while CoreWeave, Taiwan Semiconductor, Arm, Micron and SK Hynix were also poised to decline.
- Chip Stocks Just Had Their Longest Losing Streak Since 2008. Should You Buy Nvidia Stock Now?
The PHLX Semiconductor Index fell for eight straight sessions through October 16, dropping about 16%, the most consecutive down days since October 2008. Nvidia slid about 10%, from a record close of $239.24 on October 6 to $214.13, as worries over interest rate hikes, AI financing and competition weighed on chip stocks. The author argues the streak alone says little, since outcomes after similar streaks varied widely, and focuses instead on Nvidia's results: fiscal Q2 2027 revenue surged 106% to $96.2 billion and operating income rose 124% to $63.7 billion, with fiscal Q3 revenue guided to $108 billion, plus or minus 2%. At about $217, the stock trades around 14 times expected fiscal 2028 earnings, and the author suggests buying in stages over a few months rather than all at once.

Handset revenue fell 20%, while automotive revenue rose 61% to 1.59 billion USD. Management targets 40 billion USD in non-handset revenue by fiscal 2029, including more than 15 billion USD from data centers, supported by two hyperscaler custom silicon deals expected to start generating revenue in the December quarter. The author sets a 12-month price target of 218.57 USD with a Buy rating, versus a current price of 180.61 USD, with bull and bear cases at 237.99 USD and 185.64 USD. Risks include a 41.13% drop in operating income from rising memory and wafer costs, and expected Apple product revenue declines of about 50% from the September quarter to the December quarter. Qualcomm trades at 34 times earnings, compared with 42 for NVIDIA.
