Used and refurbished data center GPUs are valued at USD 3.15 billion in 2025 and estimated at USD 4.11 billion in 2026, with revenue projected to reach USD 21.54 billion by 2036 at an 18.0% CAGR. Growth is driven by fast AI infrastructure replacement, expanding inference workloads, and limited supply of new GPUs and high-bandwidth memory. GPU-dense AI servers can be refreshed within 10 to 18 months, versus four to six years for conventional enterprise equipment. The report also flags risks including sharp price drops after new architecture launches, uncertain residual values, export controls on resale, and inconsistent condition grading. It covers five regions and 23 countries and sub-regions.

- Chinese Tech Giants Order $35 Billion In Compliant Nvidia Chips
Two sources told Reuters that ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million RTX PRO 5500 cards from Nvidia, worth over $35 billion at about $11,400 each. The workstation chip is less powerful than the H200 and B300 data center chips, but it is among the most powerful Nvidia chips Chinese buyers can still obtain. Nvidia may not fill all orders: partners might get only 5% to 10% of what they asked for, total Chinese orders have topped 6 million cards, and one source said Nvidia could make no more than 3 million cards globally in 2027. Early samples are expected in December, with commercial deliveries starting in the first quarter of 2027, mainly for AI inference. Nvidia blamed outdated US export controls and China's own limit on US imports, and its outlook does not include any China data center compute revenue.
- Nvidia Could Exploit “Completely Legal” China Loophole Worth Billions. But It (Probably) Won’t.
ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent have reportedly ordered more than 35 billion USD worth of NVIDIA's RTX PRO 5500 chips, a less powerful model that complies with US export rules. Export-control expert Chris McGuire says Chinese firms can still legally rent US-made AI compute from data centers abroad or in the US. The article suggests NVIDIA probably won't pursue this rental demand, since it cannot produce enough chips and its guidance excludes China data center revenue. The risk is that no one has measured how much Chinese demand already reaches NVIDIA through rentals, and the House has passed a bill that would bring chip rentals under export controls. NVIDIA's next earnings report is due November 17.
- Chinese Competitors Aren’t Eroding ASML’s EUV Core Monopoly
ASML says its EUV machines are sold out through 2028, and planned supply for 2027 and 2028 will fall short of customer demand. Q3 revenue reached $13.06 billion against an estimated $11.68 billion, up 55.2% year over year, with gross margin at 57.5%. CEO Christophe Fouquet said Chinese progress toward rival tools is not very strong. Shares trade at $1,676.69, below the 52-week high of $1,997.38, while the average analyst target of $2,145.58 from 42 analysts implies about 27.97% upside. Management declined to give new 2027 or 2028 capacity figures, and the article flags risks from an AI spending cut, delayed orders or wider export controls.
- Smuggling Nvidia Chips Into China Is About to Become a Crime in Taiwan
Taiwan plans to add AI servers and advanced semiconductors to its controlled goods list, which would make shipping them to China a crime under the Foreign Trade Act. The change still requires a legal amendment, and Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin gave no timeline. Instead of the company blacklist used since mid-2025 (which included Huawei and SMIC), the new rule would restrict the entire Chinese market, tied to a trade deal signed with Washington on January 15. Super Micro faces the most exposure because it builds systems in Taiwan and its board is reviewing certain export-control-related transactions, while NVIDIA has already excluded China from its outlook. Friday's chip stock declines were driven mainly by a broader selloff rather than this news.
- Super Micro Says AI Demand Is So Strong It Blew Past Its Own Forecast by 25%
Super Micro Computer (SMCI) said its fiscal first quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026, came in well ahead of plan, and now expects revenue of $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion, up from its August guidance of $14.5 billion to $15.5 billion, primarily due to increased demand for AI platforms. It raised its gross margin estimate to 12.0%–12.5% from 10.4%–10.8%. The figures are preliminary and unaudited, and the company warned actual results may differ materially. Operating cash flow for fiscal 2026 was -$6.81 billion due to an inventory build, and a board review of transactions tied to export-control issues remained open as of the August report. After the regular session closed at $32.47, shares rose 15.54% to $37.52 after hours.
- Why Super Micro (SMCI) Stock Is Nosediving
Super Micro (SMCI) shares fell 5.5% in the afternoon session after reports that a former contractor, Ting-Wei Sun, pleaded guilty to conspiring with a co-founder to illegally export restricted AI technology to China. Prosecutors allege a scheme starting around October 2023 to send about $2.5 billion of U.S. AI servers to China without licenses, and co-founder Yih-Shyan Liaw has pleaded not guilty. The article also notes the company is still working through a $7 billion equity offering, and the drop coincided with wider selling in AI stocks after questions about OpenAI's revenue figures. The shares, at $39.30, remain 28.6% below their 52-week high of $55.04 from October 2025.

- Alphabet Is Set to Become an Even Bigger Anthropic Shareholder After the IPO
Anthropic, one of the fastest-growing AI companies, could become the biggest IPO in history at a targeted $2 trillion valuation, above SpaceX's $1.77 trillion debut. Alphabet is estimated to own about 14%, starting with a 10% stake for about $300 million in late 2022 and early 2023, then investing $500 million more and agreeing to invest $1.5 billion additional. According to Anthropic's S-1, Alphabet has an exclusive option to buy up to $10 billion in additional shares at the IPO price and $20 billion in unused investment capacity. At $2 trillion, Alphabet's stake would be worth $280 billion, and the article suggests Alphabet will likely remain the second-largest shareholder behind Amazon, which holds 15%-20%. Anthropic's post-money valuation of $965 billion is already reflected in Alphabet's net income, and that value would more than double at a $2 trillion IPO.
- Sandisk Stock Has Been Cut Nearly in Half Since June. Should You Buy It Before Thursday's Report?
Sandisk (SNDK) shares trade near $1,262, about 46% below their record close of $2,335 on June 25, and have fallen roughly another 10% since October 15. The author says the stock depends on three factors: rising flash prices, tight supply, and growing data center sales. Sandisk guides fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue to $10.3 billion–$10.8 billion, about 18% above the $8.97 billion of fiscal Q4, and CFO Luis Visoso said price increases are “modest.” Data center revenue rose from $440 million in fiscal Q2 2026 to $2.98 billion in fiscal Q4, about one-third of total revenue. The author leans toward waiting for the upcoming report and the fiscal Q2 outlook to see whether Sandisk is still raising prices, given the stock's volatility.
- One bank cuts savings rates to nearly 0%
Ngân hàng TMCP Sài Gòn (SCB) has cut online savings rates for newly opening individual customers to 0.1%–0.7% per year from October 26, with 12-month deposits at 0.6% and 24-month deposits at 0.7%. For a 100 million dong deposit, the article estimates interest of 600,000 dong over 12 months and about 1.4 million dong over 24 months, assuming the rate holds and there is no early withdrawal. The move follows a State Bank of Vietnam directive on October 21 that banks cut average rates on new deposits of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5 percentage points in late 2026. SCB has been under special control since 2022, typically keeps the lowest deposit rates in the market and rarely changes them, and has shrunk from nearly 240 transaction points to about 8 across 6 localities.
- Why Innodata Stock Crashed Today
Innodata (INOD) shares fell 26.4% as of 12:26 p.m. ET after reports of job cuts in India and the Philippines hit the news wires. According to termination emails reviewed by regional news outlets, the company reportedly laid off nearly 550 employees in India on Monday, plus an undisclosed number in the Philippines, which the article puts at more than 5% of its workforce. The company cited a “ramp-down of the business assignment” rather than individual performance, and the article suggests a major client unexpectedly pulled out of a large project, raising concerns about lower future revenue. Even after the steep drop, the stock still trades at 27 times forward earnings estimates, and Innodata is scheduled to report third-quarter earnings on Nov. 5, when the earnings call is expected to clarify the financial impact and whether other contracts are at risk.
- Meta's deal with AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom: Is circular financing a risk?
Madison and Speaker A discuss Meta's deal involving Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia, with Nvidia taking part in an equity issuance, and whether the circular nature of the financing is a concern. Madison notes that Mag 7 companies are mentioned throughout the S-1, and that circular funding has been common for these firms without causing major problems for investors before. The more interesting question is whether market patience is wearing thin for neocloud companies that need heavy funding to build infrastructure. Speaker A cites a Goldman report and Torsten Slok of Apollo saying AI spending will peak in the fourth quarter, along with Gartner's view that the downturn will be ugly when it comes, though not for everyone as large companies absorb smaller ones.
- “Shark” with over VND 23,000 billion sells millions of shares, still holds nearly 8% of company
Finnish fund PYN Elite Fund sold 1,038,000 DSE shares of DNSE Securities through order matching on the October 20, 2026 session, reducing its stake from 8.2% to 7.95% of charter capital and leaving it with over 34.06 million shares. DSE closed October 27 at VND 19,900 per share, making the shares sold worth about VND 2 billion and the remaining stake worth about VND 678 billion. Managed by Petri Deryng, the fund has over 27 years of experience in Asian markets and has invested in Vietnam since 2013, with assets under management of about €805 million (over VND 23,400 billion) as of its September report. The fund fell 6.34% in September versus a 3.5% drop in VN-Index and is down 12.67% year to date, with its largest holdings being STB (18.2%), HPG (14.3%) and MWG (10.2%). The fund still holds a positive long-term view of Vietnam's stock market, arguing that recent price declines have not fully reflected the underlying fundamentals.
