- DoorDash's deal to buy Instacart coming as early as Thursday morning, sources tell CNBC
DoorDash could announce its bid to acquire Instacart as early as Thursday morning, sources told CNBC.

Instacart shares rose about 4% in extended trading on Wednesday, while DoorDash shares fell less than 1%.
- Microsoft Q1 earnings: Why capex is the big number 'worth watching'
Microsoft's Azure grew 48%, above its guidance of 44-45%. The commercial backlog stayed flat quarter over quarter but rose about 73% to roughly $677 billion. Daniel said Microsoft has not raised debt or diluted shareholders to fund its buildout, unlike other hyperscalers that have kept borrowing and issuing equity. Capex came in somewhat below expectations; he attributed this to supply chain constraints, data center energization and lease timing, and said one quarter is too early to draw conclusions, so upcoming guidance will be important.
- Alphabet shares tumble 7% as earnings miss overshadows cloud boom
Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) shares fell 7% on Wednesday after third-quarter EPS of $2.12 missed the analyst consensus of $3.02 by $0.90. Revenue rose 25% to $127.6 billion, narrowly beating estimates of $127.22 billion, while Google Cloud revenue surged 103% to $30.7 billion and its operating income climbed from $3.6 billion to $11.1 billion. Consolidated operating income rose 30% to $40.6 billion, but an $8.7 billion net loss on equity securities reduced net income by $6.7 billion, or $0.55 per diluted share after tax. Capital expenditures were $51.4 billion in the quarter, up from $24.0 billion a year earlier, bringing year-to-date spending to $132.0 billion, and free cash flow turned negative at $9.1 billion. The article says investors are looking for clearer evidence that heavy AI infrastructure spending can generate sustainable cash flow and profit growth.
- SK Hynix Just Delivered Great News for Micron Investors
Micron (MU) is up 240% this year but down more than 20% from its peak after its fiscal third-quarter earnings report. SK Hynix's third-quarter revenue rose 328% year on year and 32% sequentially, with average DRAM selling prices up 20% sequentially and DRAM bit growth of 10%. SK Hynix said it expects demand to exceed supply through 2030, that it was virtually sold out through 2029, and that the AI data center infrastructure market could grow 40% annually through 2030. For next year it expects DRAM bit growth in the mid-20% range and NAND growth in the high-teens. The author argues investors may be overly pessimistic about Micron, which trades at a forward P/E of less than 6.

- Bessent says 'not necessarily' a mistake if the Fed hikes again
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke to CNBC after the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision, just days before an election that will determine the balance of power in Washington. The Fed kept interest rates unchanged, as the market had widely expected, after pausing its rate hikes. Bessent said it would be 'not necessarily' a mistake if the Fed needed to raise rates at its December meeting. Fed funds futures traders put the probability of a December rate hike at more than 83%. Bessent is a key confidant of President Donald Trump, whose Republican Party is counting down to next week's midterm elections, and the outcome of several key races could determine whether the GOP retains total control in Washington.
