- 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.

- The AI investing story had a rough week. It may be time to take profits while you still can
Market professionals are growing wary of the AI trade after a week of heavy data in tech, as investors question whether returns will arrive fast enough to justify the massive infrastructure build-out. Although the S&P 500 is only a few percent below its record, helped by rotation into non-AI names such as Procter & Gamble and Berkshire Hathaway, many AI-related shares are already in or near a bear market. The Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF fell 4% this week, 8% in October, and sits 15% below its summer record, while the iShares Semiconductor ETF is down 29% from its recent high. The article says profit-taking or hedging may be worth considering, and notes that options traders are buying more downside protection; Alphabet fell more than 10% after reporting lower core advertising revenue, and Anthropic's filing gave little forward revenue information after sales slowed from Q2 to Q3.
- Wall Street analysts like Amazon's AWS outlook
Amazon posted mixed Q3 results after Thursday's close: earnings per share of $1.89 and revenue of $201.9 billion fell short of Bloomberg analyst consensus ($1.97 and $202.25 billion), while AWS revenue rose 39% year over year to $46.0 billion, beating expectations, and operating income topped the company's own estimates. Amazon shares fell more than 7% in premarket trading on Friday but pared those losses during the session. CEO Andy Jassy said the company expects AWS growth above 40% in 2027 and 2028, and Amazon projected potential AWS revenue of $1 trillion over the next 5 to 10 years. Analysts were largely positive: BofA kept its Buy rating and cut its price target to $317 from $320, TD Cowen kept Buy and lowered its target to $340 from $350, and Evercore ISI reiterated Buy with a $355 price target.

- Gold, Silver In Spotlight After GLD Hits 52-Week Low, SLV Sinks To 11-Month Low – Peter Brandt Sees Signs Of A Potential Bottom
Gold and silver prices fell sharply on Friday as inflation concerns from higher energy prices and expectations of a possible interest-rate hike later this year weighed on precious metals. GLD hit a fresh 52-week low and SLV slumped to its lowest level in more than 11 months: spot gold fell 3% to $3,897.17 per ounce, while spot silver dropped over 6% to $49.08, below $50 for the first time since November 2025. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the odds of a December rate hike stand at 73%, even though the Federal Reserve held rates steady on Wednesday. Veteran trader Peter Brandt said investors who bought silver above $90-$100 per ounce are now selling, calling it 'how the start of bottoms are formed.' Retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed bullish for GLD and turned extremely bullish for SLV.
- Apple (AAPL) Fined In South Korea Over Unfair App Store Practices
South Korea's antitrust regulator fined Apple over alleged unfair App Store practices affecting local developers. The ruling requires Apple to revise contract terms with Korean app makers, including allowing external payment links in apps. Authorities also ordered improvements to Apple's app review procedures, focusing on transparency and the treatment of third-party developers. According to the article, the fine is small relative to a business with revenue in the hundreds of billions of dollars, with a potentially larger impact from changes to commissions charged to local developers over time. The key near-term question is whether similar contract and payment changes spread to other regions or remain limited to South Korea.
