- Tech rebounds as semiconductor stocks jump: AlphaCheck
Stocks were mostly higher on Monday as investors turned their focus to earnings season, with semiconductor stocks rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off. The Tech sector (XLK) rose, led by Nvidia (NVDA), AMD (AMD), Micron (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHY). Intel (INTC) also jumped after JPMorgan analysts upgraded the stock, while CoreWeave (CRWV), hammered last week, rebounded on a Goldman Sachs upgrade. Investors are watching this week's reports from Netflix (NFLX), SpaceX (SPCX), Tesla (TSLA) and Meta (META). The 10-year Treasury (^TNX) yield hovered near 5.1%, while Brent crude (BZ=F) dropped to $108 per barrel and WTI (CL=F) hovered below $98.
- Nvidia’s CEO Says “All of This Is Going to Pass” After Tech Lost $1 Trillion in a Day
On October 16, 2026, tech stocks lost more than $1 trillion in value in a single session as oil and Treasury yields rose. In Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said “all of this is going to pass” and that AI will benefit every industry, but he announced no new orders, guidance or customers. The Nasdaq 100 fell 2.5% to 29,187.55, and the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 3.8%, its eighth straight losing day and longest such streak since 2008. Nvidia slipped 1.43% to $214.13, a $5.17 trillion market value, holding up better than AMD, Intel, Micron and Broadcom. The article argues Huang’s comments do not address the real drivers of the selloff, namely WTI crude at $101.91 on October 14 and the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.10% on October 15, and calls the November 18 earnings report the key test.

- SpaceX Revenue Projections Look Wildly Optimistic Based on Elon Musk's Forecasting Track Record
Elon Musk targets $1 trillion in SpaceX revenue by 2030 (possibly 2029) and $3.5 trillion around 2033, versus roughly $18.7 billion recorded in 2025. The article argues these estimates should be viewed skeptically, as Musk has a history of overly optimistic forecasts: he predicted 1 million Tesla robotaxis by 2020, but there are currently 300 to 400 active. Tesla's electric semi-truck, originally slated for 2019, only began high-scale production last month, while the Cybertruck was estimated to sell 250,000 units annually but sold about 20,000 last year. Although SpaceX may grow strongly through its AI business, rocket launches and Starlink, the article says reaching Musk's sales targets would be an almost unbelievable achievement.
- Cryptocurrency Stocks Rise Despite Piper Sandler Price Target Cuts: MARA and Hut 8 Gain 4%, Riot Holds Flat
Piper Sandler cut price targets on MARA, Riot and Hut 8, citing hotter inflation, higher oil prices that revived rate-hike concerns, and repriced credit for data center debt. Despite the cuts, MARA rose 4% to $7.65 and Hut 8 rose 4% to $70.61, while Riot gained only 0.5% to $14.04. Piper Sandler kept an Overweight rating on MARA and still said the shares look attractive after the selloff. Bitcoin was up 0.7% to $82,519 over 24 hours, and the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining and Digital Power ETF (WGMI) rose 1% to $31.95.
- Many Companies Again Postpone Cash Dividends; Shareholders Waiting Over 10 Years Still Haven't Received Payment
VSDC has rescheduled cash dividend payments for PHC (5%, moved from 20/10/2026 to 16/11/2026) and ITS (1%, moved from 22/10 to 11/11/2026). Notably, SD3 still has not paid its 5% cash dividend for 2015, despite a record date in October 2016; its latest postponement to 31/12/2026 is the 12th adjustment, meaning shareholders could wait over 10 years. Earlier, SJS delayed its 2016–2017 dividends totaling 20% until 31/12/2024 before paying about 228 billion VND. Bidifood (BLT) stopped paying the remaining 140.5% of its 2022 dividend after paying 30%, citing capital difficulties. The article stresses that announcing a cash dividend record date does not guarantee shareholders receive payment on time.
- Vietcap Revises a Series of Forecasts for FPT
Vietcap, in an update dated October 16, lowered its outlook for FPT, forecasting after-tax profit attributable to parent company shareholders to grow an average of 14% per year over 2026–2029, versus 22% in 2021–2024. FPT's 2026 profit is projected at 10,755 billion VND, up 15%. Foreign IT remains the main growth driver, though 2026 revenue growth slows to about 14%, while domestic IT pre-tax profit is expected to rise 78% to 783 billion VND on digital transformation and the AI Factory project. The education segment faces pressure, with total students at end-2025 down about 8% and 2026 revenue expected to fall 4% to 6,736 billion VND. Vietcap says the share price already reflects most of these difficulties, with a 2026 P/E of 10.8x.
- Zcash Leads Crypto Bounce, Surging 8.5% as Bitcoin Reclaims $83,000
Crypto markets rebounded on Tuesday, led by Zcash, which rose 8.5% in 24 hours to $1,215.85 and lifted its market cap to $20.57 billion. Bitcoin gained 1.57% to $83,195 and Ethereum climbed 2.90% to $2,463.35, while total crypto market cap rose 1.68% to $2.78 trillion. Zcash had fallen about 25% over the past month, so the bounce partly reflects an oversold market where forced liquidations of leveraged bets had already worked through selling pressure. Macro risks remain high, with Brent crude near $110 a barrel and the 10-year Treasury yield above 5%, and traders are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting.
- The Coinbase allegations expose Bitcoin's corporate governance gap
Onramp CEO Michael Tanguma argues that corporate bitcoin adoption will stall until companies can show who controls the funds, who approves transfers and whether the assets still exist. BlockTower Capital founder Ari Paul accused Coinbase of losing roughly $25 million of his firm's assets and concealing more than $1 billion in hacks across a dozen institutions; Coinbase denies this, and Paul says ongoing litigation prevents him from publishing his evidence, so outsiders cannot verify either claim. Unlike corporate bank or brokerage accounts, bitcoin often sits behind a single exchange login or hardware wallet, as when QuadrigaCX's CEO died in 2018 holding the only keys and about $190 million in customer assets was lost. A Deloitte survey of 200 CFOs found that the complexity of accounting and controls held back 42% of respondents, while more than 360 physical attacks on holders have been logged since 2014. The author argues that multisignature custody, native to bitcoin's protocol, can distribute risk instead of concentrating it in one person or company.
