Waymo's robotaxi service is now open to anyone in San Antonio, San Diego and Tampa, who can hail a fully autonomous ride through the Waymo app, including trips to San Antonio International Airport. Waymo says it has welcomed hundreds of thousands of riders in these cities since opening service earlier this year. San Antonio's airport director Jesus Saenz called the airport service a significant milestone for Waymo, the city and travelers. In San Diego, Bob Kelly, founder and CEO of the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation, said the service helps older adults stay independent, active and connected.

- AI Trade Is at a Critical Moment As Rising Rates Threaten a Capex Slowdown
James Russo, a portfolio manager at AllianceBernstein, says the AI trade is at a “critical moment” as corporate bond rates rise, making companies less willing to borrow for AI spending and putting AI infrastructure stocks in a perilous position. Causes include surging Treasury yields driven by oil prices, inflation concerns and ballooning government debt, along with heavy borrowing to fund the AI buildout. Bond yields on CoreWeave hit 15% last week amid concerns about its debt levels. Russo expects a significant slowdown in capex growth in 2027 and further deceleration in 2028, with hyperscalers estimated to spend $725 billion in 2026 and potentially up to $1.2 trillion. Upcoming third-quarter earnings reports from hyperscalers could reveal changes in their capex plans.
- AI stocks lead rebound on Wall Street as European markets drop
AI stocks rebounded Monday: the S&P 500 rose 0.6% after its worst week since June, the Nasdaq gained 1.4%, and CoreWeave rose 1.2% after tumbling 25.2% last week. Nvidia added 2%, but most U.S. stocks outside AI and tech were falling. In Europe, indexes dropped more than 1% (Paris 1.1%) after violent weekend protests that could force governments to boost spending, pushing bond yields higher. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.15% from 5.09%, after topping 5.30% earlier this month, its highest level since 2002. Brent crude fell 0.4% to $109.38 a barrel, and Cleveland-Cliffs rallied 16.1% after beating profit expectations.
- Data Center Buildout Now the Largest Financial Bet in U . S . History – Pagosa Daily Post News Events & Video for Pagosa Springs Colorado
According to Stateline, U.S. data center investment for AI has surpassed all past booms in scale and is crowding out more job-creating sectors. A Columbia Business School report by Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh estimates $10 trillion in investment, with an economic impact of nearly 4% of GDP, almost twice that of railroad expansion in the late 1800s. Many states that granted tax exemptions earlier are now pulling back, as Nevada trimmed abatements and will require data centers to cover energy and water costs. Over three years, Texas ($638 billion), Virginia ($249 billion), Ohio ($169 billion) and Georgia ($160 billion) are projected to see the largest costs, according to Industrial Info Resources. Data center construction value has more than doubled to $85 billion a year while other construction fell 8%, and the profitability of AI remains unproven.

- San Diego jobless rate fell in September . Here who hiring – San Diego Union - Tribune
San Diego County's unemployment rate fell to 4.7% in September from 4.9% the previous month, as teachers and support staff returned to work. Losses persisted in retail, construction and tourism, and economist Daniel Enemark said seasonally adjusted job growth for September was the slowest in 17 years. The labor force rose 1% to 1.66 million but remains below its March 2025 peak of 1.68 million. Over the past 12 months the county added 19,900 jobs, led by private education and health services, while government lost 2,400 positions. The county's inflation rate of 4.7% was the second-highest in the nation, behind Urban Hawaii's 5.2%.

- 2 High-Flying Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Decade
The article argues healthcare is rebounding in 2026, with Merck (MRK) shares up 39% and AbbVie (ABBV) up 24% year to date, versus about 12% for the S&P 500. Merck's second-quarter revenue rose 5% to $16.6 billion, beating estimates, with Keytruda sales of $8.4 billion, though Keytruda may lose patent exclusivity by 2028. AbbVie's second-quarter revenue grew 10.2% to nearly $17 billion and adjusted EPS rose 22.9% to $3.65, driven by Skyrizi and Rinvoq sales growing about 24%. AbbVie is on a streak of 54 consecutive annual dividend increases, including its time as part of Abbott Laboratories, qualifying it as a Dividend King. The author concludes both are attractive long-term holdings based on financial results, pipelines, and dividends.
- Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Lags Massive Earnings Growth—A Compelling Value Opportunity
Munro Partners' Munro Global Growth Fund posted a -12.6% net return in Q3 2026, trailing the MAET.ASX return of -13.8%, with long holdings the main detractors. The fund's letter named NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) its largest contributor, citing strong earnings growth and guidance for at least 70% revenue growth next fiscal year, versus consensus of 45%. Nvidia reported quarterly revenue of USD96.2bn in August, up 106% year on year, and management said growth would have been closer to 100% without supply constraints. As of October 12, 2026, NVDA closed at $214.13, down 4.23% over the past month and up 19.23% over the past year, with a $5.16 trillion market cap and a 52-week range of $164.27 to $243.37. The fund says demand for semiconductors and AI remains strong, creating a constructive setup as capex and political fears are now priced in.
- Better Artificial Intelligence Stock for 2026: C3.ai vs. SentinelOne
The article compares C3.ai, which sells enterprise AI applications, with SentinelOne, which provides AI-powered autonomous cybersecurity. In fiscal 2026 (ended April 30), C3.ai's revenue was nearly $250.3 million, down 35.7%, with a net loss of $470.4 million and negative free cash flow of $190.7 million. SentinelOne's fiscal 2026 (ended January 31) revenue reached $1.0 billion, up 21.9%, with a net loss of $450.7 million and free cash flow of about $75.9 million, though stock-based compensation equaled roughly 388.4% of operating cash flow. The article cites C3.ai's restructuring plan from February 2026 and long government sales cycles as risks, and SentinelOne's competition from larger vendors and reliance on Amazon hosting. It says SentinelOne trades at a lower valuation relative to sales, while C3.ai has no future earnings estimates.
- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
- Musk: AI’s Hard Part Is “Scaling Power”: 3 Stocks Uniquely Suited to Win This New Bottleneck Trade
Microsoft said it will scale its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments starting next calendar year, and Elon Musk said scaling power is the hard part of AI. The article argues power is an input that chip and app companies cannot copy quickly, which favors Vistra (VST), Constellation Energy (CEG) and GE Vernova (GEV). Vistra has lost nearly a fifth of its value over the past year even though its adjusted EBITDA rose to $5.91 billion, while Constellation's normalized EPS is expected to reach $13.29 in fiscal 2027. GE Vernova's revenue is expected to reach $60.7 billion by fiscal 2028, and Jefferies has a $298 price target on Vistra. The article warns that all three stocks could move with the mood around AI, regardless of their results.
